But as they say, time flies.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"> I'm going to be honest with you, it's been a rough year. For three reasons, and I'm going to tell you what they are, as if you don't already know.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"> You think I'm going to say, Obama, Obama, and Obama. Which is what I should say, I'll admit. But I'm not going to do that. But I am going to put him front and center. He thinks he's number one, I'll make him number one and see how he likes <i>that.</i></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><i><br /></i>
<i> </i> 1. Obama. Here's a guy who was<i> born in Kenya,</i> which is bad enough right there, and then he and his handful of <i>liberal friends </i>have to go and <i>steal elections</i> from God-fearing Republicans like John McCain and Mitt Romney, and they do it<i> twice!</i> I'm here to tell you, I don't know what the Republican party is coming to, letting the Democrats steal elections like that. I mean, if anybody ought to be stealing elections, shouldn't it be the <i>good guys </i>for a change? I can't for the life of me see why anybody in his right mind can't see the obvious. In fact, if there's one thing I can't stand, it's people who can't see the obvious.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"> I keep thinking, if they had just let God elect Rick Santorum like He wanted to, we wouldn't be in this mess right now. We'd all be standing up for the USA like we should, and we'd probably be locking<i> liberals </i>out of our national parks right now, which is what they deserve, instead of the other way around. It just goes to show you, like the story about the horseshoe nail.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"> 2. I hate to say this, but number two is Ima Gine. I never would have believed it, but she just hasn't been the same since the election. I think that is what started it all, and so I'm going to blame Obama for that too. I mean, if the liberals could blame everything on George W. Bush, I think I have a right to do some serious blaming too, when the tables are turned. After all, Obamacare is already supposed to be solving all our healthcare problems. So, Barry, how come you don't have the answer for a little old thing like<i> PMS?? </i> You're going to solve our country's health problems, and you can't even cure my wife's PMS? People talk about not trusting the government, I'm starting to believe it.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><i></i> Actually, it <i>could be worse</i> than PMS, in Ima Gine's case. I mean, who ever heard of PMS going on month after month for a <i>whole year? </i> It's beginning to get to me, I don't mind telling you.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"> But I'll have to let you in on why I think it<i> isn't </i>just PMS, for two reasons, which I will call A and B.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"> A. <i>Conservative women don't get PMS</i>, and I can ga-ron-tee you that Ima Gine is conservative. That gal was<i> born </i>conservative, if you know what I mean, and has never changed a bit. So don't go telling me that she isn't conservative, and don't go saying she has PMS. PMS is a liberal disease. Women in New York have a <i>lot</i> of it, as you can plainly tell, and so do those <i>women</i> in San Francisco, if you get my drift.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"> B. Another reason I don't think that Ima Gine has PMS is that it's just too simplistic, if you understand my meaning. It's got to be something worse than that, because when conservatives have problems, they have <i>real, serious problems,</i> not the whine-y stuff that the panty-waist liberals are always b--ching about. So like I say, don't be telling me it's just PMS. Heck, I know what PMS is -- I <i>live</i> with it.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"> 3. Thirdly, and I'll be the first to say that he's the<i> least </i>of my problems, is Goofy. I'm here to tell you, he makes Dumb and Dumber look dumber and dumber, if you follow me. I mean, anybody who <i>can't spell tree</i> has got to be "out of his tree," like we used to always say.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"> But also, I have the feeling that while I've been ignoring him, he's been ignoring me. I know it's <i>uncanny</i> to think like that, but sometimes I do. I'll be the first to admit it.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>

<span style="font-size: large;">by Hobbert Ryde </span></div>
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> Man! I've got to say I loved the way Mitt Romney put it to Obummer the other night in that first debate we had.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> I'll bet you that Goofy over at Sycamore Three didn't even watch it -- he hasn't said a thing. He's probably seething mad because his precious R-n P--l <i>former</i> candidate wasn't there -- </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> Gosh I love saying what I just said about R-n P--l. <i>Former</i> candidate. <i>Finally got that</i>,<i> Goofy?</i> Or did you miss the latest newsflash? <i>Former.</i>
Gone for good and none too soon, I might add. Oh, I know Ima Gine would say that I should
probably say something nice about the old man, like after all he was a Republican, he probably meant
well, raw milk, whatever.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> But I'm not going to, and I'm going to flat
out tell you why: I don't think he was that great, and I'm not
going to prostrate my opinions for anybody. To tell you the truth, I don't think he was ever a real Republican. Not my kind, anyway. And I'll tell you why about that, too.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"> The Republican Party is supposed to be a Christian party, in my book. Well, of course, in a perfect world, they both would be, like Ima Gine says. But what she doesn't fully realize, which is why the world will never be perfect, is that the Democrats are all Socialists, every last one of them, and who ever heard of <i>Christian Socialists?</i> Can't happen. Sorry, dear. (You understand.)</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> And if R-n P--l had taken over, we'd have had nothing but a bunch of Christian w-sses (like Goofy) and closet libertarians (like Goofy) representing us, when we ought to be showing that the Christian Flag is worthy to stand right up there under Old Glory himself, and give everybody some good old-fashioned Christian H-ll like William T. Sherman marching through Georgia. Onward, Christian Warriors -- if we can't stand right up there beside the worst of them, and show them that we're just as good as they are, what are people supposed to think? Good grief, what do they think war is all about?</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"> Plus, R-n P--l was going to absolutely <i>wreck</i> the economy, and you can bet your bottom dollar on it. Even Ima Gine could see that. Let the banks fail? Get real. Just where do you think money comes from, Dr. P--l? It's just like Ima Gine's friend, Lyz Dexic, said, "How do you think we are going to get by without <i>sound money </i>and<i> a whole lot more of it?" </i> I couldn't have said it better myself.<i><br /></i></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"> But after all is said and done about war and the economy, I finally figured out what I don't like most about old Dr. P--l, and I've got to tell you, it took Millard W. Romney himself to make me see it: (Why couldn't I have seen it for myself, I'm asking myself.)</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> Here it is: R-n P--l was your classic<i> 47 percenter!</i> He totally reeked of <i>47 percent mentality</i>. Think about it, and you'll agree. To me, that's like a <i>47 IQ</i>. Now don't get me wrong, I am not discriminating because the 47 percent are dumb. I'm discriminating against them because they are losers, because 47 is a losing number.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> And I think this country needs to focus on its winners. And I think what we need most in a president is a good honest 100 percenter with an IQ to match. And that's Mitt to a T.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> Plus, he looks presidential. I know that means a lot to women, and I bet he gets 75% of women's votes, you know how easily impressed they can be. It doesn't really matter that much to me, as you know, but I'd honestly have to say, he looks pretty impressive. I'd say he is the most presidential looking president since Richard Nixon, and that's reaching pretty far. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> And I don't mind saying so, I identify with Mitt. I feel like he's my kind of guy. In fact, I'll just say right here and now that I really look up to him -- especially his integrity. That guy wouldn't fudge the truth if his life depended on it -- heck, even if the <i>election</i> depended on it.</span><br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> Well, I've got to say, there was one thing for sure I didn't like about the R-n P--lians at the Republican convention, and that was that they were sore losers. Well, sorry, Jocko. You come to the circus and want to parade with the elephants, you gotta expect a little bit of elephant doo-doo to fly your way. Like they say, it goes with the territory. But you didn't need to ruin it for everybody else.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> I've got to admit, Ima Gine got a little squeamish when she saw them walk out. I think she was still feeling bad about Rick Santorum, and also about her friend, Lyz, and all, and how the Lord had told Lyz it was going to be Rick, and now he wasn't even going to be <i>Vice</i> President, now that Mitt had picked Paul Ryan.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> I said well, the Lord has a right to change His mind, just like Mitt has a right to change his. And besides, Paul Ryan was a great pick and brought a lot of experience and family values to the team, just like Sarah Palin and Michelle Bachmann. (Plus, I was thinking, he's got something more that they don't have, if you know what I mean, but of course I didn't say anything like that to Ima Gine, not after last time. That one took two months to straighten up, if you know what I mean.)</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> So there the P--lians were walking out, so I said, Well, who needed them anyway. Who wants them.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> She said something about not being so sure. So I said, to cheer her up, you've got to have faith.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"> And now, after seeing how Mitt man-handled Obummer in that great debate, I know I was right.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> So, a final so-long to R-n, and on your way out, don't let the door hit you where the good -- </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"> (Now you've got to stay with me here: if Ima Gine ever finds this
site, and reads what I wrote, my goose could be g--s-d, you might say. So I've got to do what
they say when the radio won't play it, and kind of "lay it . . . between
the lines." Get it?)</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> Well like I was saying, Goofy probably didn't even watch the debate, so what can he say?</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> But that's not going to keep<i> me </i>from saying something. Plenty, I might add. I'm loaded for bare, right now. Heck, I'm <i>loaded for donkey</i>, if you get my drift.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> Like they used to say in radio-land, stay tuned.</span><br />
<br />
<br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><i>by Hobbert Ryde </i></span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> I know I'll get in trouble with Ima Gine for putting this title on my post, but gosh-darn it, somebody has got to talk back to that guy at Sycamore Three, and in no uncertain terms.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> Nobody else has "manned up," as they say, to do this, so it's gonna be me. (Maybe I'm reluctant, because his name sounds so much like mine, that I don't want any blowback, if you know what I mean. But that similarity is pure coincidence, and it's sure not my fault, anyway.)</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> For months he's been prattling around about every subject under the sun -- about people who know a heckuva lot more than <i>he</i> does, I might mention -- though that isn't saying much -- and most of them aren't too bright anyway, in my book, if you know what I mean.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> Now he's gonna play the <i>Silence</i> card. I knew that game as soon as I saw <a href="http://www.sycamorethree.blogspot.com/2012/07/the-virtue-of-silence-part-2.html">that goofy post,</a> and sure enough, after only a week of practicing his precious <i>virtue</i> -- his words, not mine -- he comes off with that pseudo-profound little filler about a third so-called <a href="http://www.sycamorethree.blogspot.com/2012/08/third-quiet-realization.html">"quiet realization."</a></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> What he doesn't realize, among the many things he doesn't realize, is that <i>he has nothing to say!</i> There, I said it.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> Well, if he has nothing to say, it's his own fault. He is completely avoiding the important issues of the day; and I'm going to point them out, one by one, until I run out of numbers. Here goes.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> 1. He hasn't said <i>word one</i> about Obama's birth certificate. He claims to be a Constitutionalist, which is a total piece of head-fakery, because the Constitution plainly says that a person can't be president unless he is born right here in the U S of A and has a birth certificate to prove it -- which I can quote to you chapter and verse, by the way -- and he has completely ducked the issue, and I mean ducked, as in Duck, Donald, Duck. If you know what I mean.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> 2. He hasn't said <i>one word</i> in standing up for a sound American dollar. In fact, I think he not only wants to "End the Fed," like his hero R-n P--l is always, always saying, like a broken record -- which shows you just how little he knows about economics, by the way -- I think <i>he'd</i> actually like to see the stock market <i>go down</i>, which is just about the most<i> un</i>-patriotic thing I can think of right now. I mean, Ima Gine and I have some money put away, and if I should . . . go, if you know what I mean . . . he'd have Ima Gine out on the street in a heart-beat, if he had <i>his</i> way.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> 3. Which brings me to Mitt Romney. He hasn't said <i>one word</i> in support of Mitt. Well, as far as I'm concerned, <i>somebody</i> has to stand up against the socialists who are running this country right into the bowels of . . . Hades, and right now I can't think of anybody better than Mitt, an entrepreneurial investor and yes, capitalist -- I'm not ashamed to say it, never have been, never will be -- who has beaten the socialists at their own game. And whatever Mitt's faults may be (precious few, let me tell you), he has been standing up there all alone against big government and Obama-care, while Donald Duck is sitting over there under his Silly Sycamore, on the <i>sidelines</i>, where it is <i>safe</i>, I might add, chattering on about Silence.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> 4. And he hasn't said <i>one word</i> about the threat of terrorism. Oh, how short our memories are, when great men like George W. Bush leave the watch as sentinels of our great republic. Truer words were never spoken, that when the Republican eagles have flown, the Democrat sparrows will land. Terrorism is probably the most serious threat that our Great Nation has faced since the forces of evil fought at Gettysburg, if even then. And Goofy is <i>Silent?</i> (His words, not mine.)</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> Well get this, Goofy, if you get one thing. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> I think the time for your precious Silence is over. Got that? Over.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> I think it's high time we all spoke up, and joined together in a <i>solid bond of freedom</i>, as one, and spoke up for what we all know, and we all know that we know, and if you don't like the battle-cry of freedom, get out of here, Goofy.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> In fact, I'll go so far as to say that we ought to stand up for what's right <i>even when we're wrong,</i> just to wave the flag, if you know what I mean, and show everybody, and I mean everybody, that <i>we have a right to be right.</i></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> Silence, my a--.</span><br />
<br />
<br />

<span style="font-size: large;">by Hobbert Ryde </span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> Oh, man!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> Don't you love that new Rick Santorum song, "Game On!"? If you haven't heard it yet, you've got to <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U7pv7sO5Gng"><i>stop and listen to it right now!</i> </a> I've got to say, <i>it really rocks!</i> <i><br /></i></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> I'm going to write down those lyrics right here.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Game on!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Join the fight!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">We finally got a man</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Who will stand for what is right!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Game on!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Victory's in sight!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">We've got a man who understands</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">That God gave The Bill of Rights . . .</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Oh there is hope</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">For our nation again</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Maybe the first time since we had Ronald Reagan</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">There will be justice for the unborn</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Factories back on our shores</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Where the Constitution rules our land.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Yes I believe Rick Santorum is our man!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Game on!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">He's got the plan!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">To lower taxes, raise morale,</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">With the power in our hands</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Game on!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Changes ahead!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Faithful to his wife and seven kids</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">He'll be loyal to our land!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">For there is hope</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">For our nation again</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Maybe the first time since we had Ronald Reagan</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">There will be justice for the unborn</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Factories back on our shores</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Where the Constitution rules our land.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Yes I believe Rick Santorum is our man!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Oh, it's been crazy</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">What's been slipping through our hands</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">When we the people, still supposed to rule this land --</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Rick understands! </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">So there is hope</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">For our nation again</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Maybe the first time since we had Ronald Reagan</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">There will be justice for the unborn</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Factories back on our shores</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Where the Constitution rules our land.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Yes I believe Rick Santorum is our man!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Yes I believe Rick Santorum is our man!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Yes we believe Rick Santorum is our man!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Game on!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> I don't know how Ima Gine and I really missed it, but we hadn't heard about it until Lyz, Ima Gine's church friend, came over last Sunday. She said, "Have you heard Rick Santorum's new song?"</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> Ima Gine said no we hadn't, yet, and Lyz just laughed and raised her hands <i>right there in our living room</i> and looked at us and said, "It's anointed! I'm telling you. I think it's <i>anointed!</i>"</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> Well, of course, you've got to know Lyz. That's how they talk at her church. She didn't really mean that she thought it was <i>inspired</i> or anything like that, exactly. But she thought it was good, anyway. (Later, she told us that at the end of their church service, right after their closing prayer, some of their Praise Team got right up there on the stage and played it! It sort of tickled everybody, and I have to admit that I kind of wish I'd been there.)</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> So I got busy and looked it up on You Tube, and there it was!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> It's great, isn't it? I mean, all those kids dancing and singing, and even old guys like me joining in. I felt good for a change. It was just like old times, just like the song says.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> I hope Goofy over at Sycamore Three hears it. I hope he notices that it <i>mentions Ronald Reagan three times!</i></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> (To be honest with you, I think Reagan is over-rated. There he went through eight years of military build-up but kind of chickened-out at the last and started cutting deals with the Russians. I mean, <i>what's the world's greatest military for if you're not going to use it??</i> It took some real <i>Bush</i> men -- and I mean, father <i>and</i> son -- to have the courage to take all our enemies and just <i>let them have it</i> like they deserve.)</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> And when Goofy's listening to the song, I hope he notices that it doesn't bother with R-n P--l and all his moaning about ending wars and ending the Fed and all of that stuff. Which is a <i>d--ned distraction</i>, as far as I'm concerned.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> I'm telling you, I just hope he can see that we just need to get back on track with the Constitution and everything.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> Anyway, who cares what he thinks or anybody thinks. I like the song! I really do!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> "Game on!" I haven't felt this good since Todd Beamer and George W. Bush said "Let's roll!" like they did on 9-11.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> I'll be honest with you, 9-11 really did something for me. It was like we were finally going to stand up and give the rest of the world what they d--ned well deserved and have been asking for for a long time.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> I'm for the Constitution! And I'm for giving it to the whole world. <i>With both barrels!</i></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> Game on! </span><br />
<br />
<br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"> But I've got to tell, you, it really tickled me the other night when Newt blew out the totally liberal CNN media when they attacked him with that below-the-belt question, if you know what I mean, about his ex-wife. <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RRGv-kiVJko">I mean, he really threw it back in their faces, didn't he?</a> And I was glad to see that all those Christians in that audience didn't let that<i> liberal media</i> get by with a darn thing. Who are <i>they</i>, to bring up some phony character issue?</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"> Okay, he's had three wives. (Oh, I know, Ima Gine is a little bit ticked -- well, actually, plenty ticked -- about that. But she has sense enough to hold her tongue on this one.) Well, I say, just speaking personally between you and me, well, Rush Limbaugh has had <i>four</i>, and is anyone holding that against <i>him?</i> So this is all just another liberal double standard, if you ask me.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"> Wasn't it Newt, after all, who led that courageous impeachment fight against Bill Clinton? That right there ought to tell you everything that you need to know about Newt's character. And hey, if you want to hit below the belt, CNN, I can tell you that old Newt can do a little bit of that himself, so watch out, little boys, because Newt can really show you how the game is played! Just like he did the other night.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"> And then all those Christians went out and put Newt right over the top of everybody -- Mitt and everybody! Wasn't that a sight? I could almost hear God telling Rick, "Step aside for just a moment, Rick. This is important. Watch Me just stick it in their liberal eyes!"</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"> Talk about Mine Eyes Have Seen The Glory -- it was like seeing the Armies of the Lord rise up to <i>send them a message,</i> if you know what I mean. (I'm talking about the liberals here, now. I'm not saying anything against Romney, per se.)</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"> Speaking about the Lord, I noticed that Goofy's big favorite, R-n P--l, came in a poor fourth in South Carolina. Do you think maybe the Lord is <i>trying to tell him something? </i> Like, if you can't win the race, get out of the kitchen?</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"> I mean really. <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N4UnkyNJGmw">Watching R-n P--l shamelessly playing his "Jesus card" with that silly business about the Golden Rule.</a> I was glad to see that the real Christians there saw through <i>that</i> obvious play. No wonder the Lord punished him with a fourth place finish -- <i>after</i> Rick Santorum, I might add.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"> Which brings me back to Rick. I've been thinking about what God said to the Christian leaders who met "at the Summit" in Texas a couple of weeks ago. Notice that He said, "It's Rick." He didn't say, "It's Rick for President." I've been thinking, maybe, He meant it's Rick for <i>Vice</i> President. I'm okay with that.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"> That leaves plenty of room for Newt. Or even Mitt.</span><br />

<i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">by Hobbert Ryde</span></i></div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"> You'll never believe it.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"> I saw it myself and<i> I </i>don't believe it. On<i> FOX News,</i> no less.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"> Here I was, sitting at my computer ready to talk about how things were unfolding after South Carolina, and Ima Gine calls me into the living room to watch FOX tonight. Who should be on but Mike Huckabee -- I like Mike Huckabee and frankly, I thought the Lord missed a great opportunity with Mike four years ago -- And he was interviewing R-n P--l!</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"> Well, I know they've got to give him -- that's<i> Doctor</i> R-n P--l to Goofy over at Sycamore Three -- they've got to give him a little face time on Fox, or he'll be whining that the media is trying to shut him out, same old poor-me poor-us stuff that makes you know he's just another bleeding heart liberal. Well, it makes you know it IF you have<i> half a brain in your head,</i> as Rush likes to point out.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"> So I know they have to have R-n P--l on every once in a while just to shut everybody up, so that wasn't what bothered me.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"> What bothered me was that Mike Huckabee was treating R-n P--l like he was some kind of <i>legitimate candidate. </i> I went, <i> Wha-att?? On Fox?? </i> right in front of Ima Gine. Here,<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v1Z-ajFjMWc&feature=player_embedded"> click on the video right now and watch it,</a> if you don't believe me.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"> Well, I never should have gone,<i> Wha-att??</i> right in front of Ima Gine. She kind of glared a little bit and sniffed.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"> She said, "What are you worrying about? Didn't the Lord say it was Rick<i> just ten days ago</i>? Where is your faith? You stood right here this time last week and heard what everybody said, <i>including</i> Lyz, and we're standing firm. What's wrong with you? This is all a part of His Plan."</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"> Well, she had me there all right, because to be honest, it shook me a little that the Lord's choice, Rick Santorum, came in third after a M--mon and a, well, I don't know <i>what</i> he is, I mean in a state that stood foursquare with God's own Senator Lindsey Graham, who I think is a cousin to Franklin Graham, if not his old man.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"> I just had to shake my head at Mike Huckabee, smiling like he was hearing R-n P--l for the first time. I could have told him, "Mike, it's just the same old same-old." The old man never gets tired of riding that old horse, "End the Fed," and all that talk. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"> I'm thinking, Can't R-n P--l<i> read a dollar bill,</i> for goodness sake? Every one of them has the words "Federal Reserve Note" printed in plain English riding high right there over all the presidents, such as Benjamin Franklin ($100) and Alexander Hamilton ($10) and all the rest, and all of them personally signed and cosigned by the Treasury of the United States. I mean, this is <i>pure American currency!</i></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"> We all know that R-n P--l can't spell USA, but for goodness sake, Doctor, can you spell <i>legal tender?</i> Sheesh.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"> Well, all I can say is that Fox must be having a bad night. Fair and balanced, yes, but you can take fair and balanced way too far. Frankly, it just looked like pandering to Dr. R-n P--l, to me.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"> Get a grip, Fox. Get a grip, Mike. Because here's where I think Ima Gine is right. You've got to have faith in the leadership.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"> Forget making nice with what's probably the oldest politician in Texas. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"> Stick with Rick.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">PS -- I hope Goofy doesn't see that video on youtube. He'll make some kind of a big deal over it, just watch.</span><br />
<br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><i>by Hobbert Ryde</i></span></div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"> I've got to tell you what happened today right after Ima Gine and I got home from church. I don't mind telling you, because I think you'll understand, that -- well, I'll just come right out and say it. It was the closest thing to a <i>sign from heaven</i> that I've seen in my life.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"> Now I've got to explain something right off, which you might not understand, which is that Ima Gine and I go to different churches. (Now don't get ruffled. There's nothing wrong between us, or between her church and mine. I can't explain it right now, I'll have to save that for another time, but just rest assured that they are both Godly Republican churches, okay?) Anyway, that's an important part of the story and what makes it so <i>uncanny,</i> as I'll explain.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"> Well for me it started right after the service at <i>my</i> church. I don't mind telling you, a lot of us guys were standing around talking after the services, kind of feeling bad about Tebow and the Broncos yesterday, what with how things turned out and they lost to New England. <i>(New England!)</i> That's just when Brother Bob, our minister, came up and joined us talking. I could tell he was half relaxed, half serious, and had something on his mind. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"> I thought it might be about Tebow, because he had mentioned at the beginning of his sermon how God's people can lose some battles sometimes, like Joshua and the Children of Israel did after Jericho, because there was <i>sin in the camp</i>. Not meaning Tebow, of course. Just that maybe some of the guys on the offensive line weren't close to Jesus, and that's how Tebow gets sacked sometimes. Sometimes Satan just breaks through on you. I could understand that. It made us all feel a lot better.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"> Well anyway, Brother Bob came up and said he couldn't say this in church, because he'd be endorsing a candidate. That could jeopardize our tax-exempt status. But it was important and he wanted us to know something. A group of serious Christian leaders, including Doctor Dobson, had met together at a meeting in Texas and prayed about the election, and the Lord directed them that it was Rick.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"> Well, I could tell right then, to tell you the truth. What with Doctor Dobson, and Tim Tebow, and also I mentioned last week right here at this site that I really liked Rick, and I said he had b---s, for which I have apologized to Ima Gine and you, if you need my apology. (And no, Ima Gine has not discovered this site yet.) It was like it was all coming together.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"> Then I get home, and who's already there but Ima Gine. I said, "How was church?" She said, "Just fine, of course," but I could sense that she was holding something back. Then she said that Dr. Bill --that's <i>her</i> preacher -- had also mentioned the very same meeting of those Christian leaders, and how they had met and voted, and it was Rick Santorum after only three votes.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"> Then, to top it all off, Ima Gine's friend Lyz dropped by. (I'll have to tell you about her sometime, too, but not now, I've got to stick to the important stuff.) But Lyz goes to a church where they raise their hands and "hear from God," as they say, and she said that <i>their</i> pastor, Pastor David, had said <i>the same thing. </i> And none of us had realized this before, how everything just comes together.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"> </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"> Lyz went on to say that right there in church it reminded her of where in the Bible it talks about the Sign of Jonah. Later she went and looked it up, and saw that it's right there how the lot fell upon Jonah. She said it confirmed it, to her, when she got to the part where they cast lots, which she said is just like voting.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"> I wasn't too sure about <i>that</i> (you can't always be sure about Lyz), but still it's good to know that it's Rick all right.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"> I was thinking back how just last week I had said how we needed a guy like Rick. Then Ima Gine interrupts my thinking and says that its all well and good that I like Rick, but I <i>still</i> shouldn't have said what I did, she still couldn't get it out of her mind.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"> But I got to thinking, maybe those Christian men <i>were seeing the very same thing</i> I was talking about, and that's why they voted for him.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"> And then I got to thinking . . . what if Rick Santorum picked Tim Tebow for his running mate! Rick and Tim standing together. That might be almost as good as George W. Bush and Dick Cheney.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"> Even Goofy over at Sycamore Three might wake up and go along with <i>that</i>. I haven't heard him say anything bad about Tebow, anyway, so there might be hope for him there.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"> Well, I'm probably getting ahead of myself. But it's good to know that it's Rick after all. It's time for everyone to Stand Together With Rick!</span><br />
<br />

<span style="font-size: large;">by Hobbert Ryde</span></div>
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> If you've followed Sycamore Three for a while, as I have, you'll notice that Goofy is -- as he puts it <a href="http://www.sycamorethree.blogspot.com/2010/12/cia-establishment-and-wikileaks.html">here</a> -- "very hard on the CIA." </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> I tell you, I waded through that post -- and <a href="http://www.sycamorethree.blogspot.com/2011/01/cia-war-in-pakistan.html">others</a> of his -- and my eyes just glazed over. It was about 50 percent goofy history, 50 percent goofy politics, 50 percent really goofy philosophy-and-religion, and about 100 percent TOO LONG.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> He acts like he has carefully researched everything and blah blah blah forever. Read it if you must, but you'll be neck-deep in garbage, so let me do
you a big favor and save you a lot of time and unnecessary mental
strain.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> Everything you need to know about the CIA is right here, courtesy of me. I've done a little research too, by the way, so let me just mention a few things.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> I happen to have read <i>every Jack Ryan novel that Tom Clancy ever produced</i>, and I have a pretty good memory: Jack Ryan was<i> CIA,</i> buddy, and that's really all you need to know. And I'm talking about the <i>real</i> Jack Ryan here. The first one, the President of the United States of America, if you recall from <i>Executive Orders</i>, which I do, and I don't mean his little kid Jack Junior who shows up in the <i>Teeth of the Tiger</i>. (Now don't get me wrong. Cathy Ryan was all right. I'm just saying: they can't make 'em like the Old Man.)</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> I'll never forget <i>Air Force One</i>, how Harrison Ford played Jack Ryan kicking the -- I'm just going to say it, and I hope Ima Gine doesn't find out -- Jack Ryan kicking the <i>Living Hell</i> out of those lousy terrorists all the way from the Black Sea to Bermuda, saying "Get off my plane!" My gosh, just thinking about it is like <i>reliving history!</i> I can remember every bit of it like it was yesterday. Man, oh man. Kids today, what do<i> they</i> know. Hell, what <i>can</i> they know. It's a shame.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> And you know, all that happened two years before 9-11. I only have one regret. I only wish that when it came to be George W. Bush's turn, he would've been on that United Flight 93 with Todd Beamer saying "Let's roll!" I tell you things sure would have been different. But I know I'm being unfair. Things can't always turn out the same. And besides, George Junior wasn't CIA like his old man.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> Oh well. I'll tell you something I frankly can't understand, and it's about Goofy. Honestly I don't think he's evil, <i>per se</i>, if you know what I mean. But he's just about as stupid as forever. Let me give you four known facts, and you do the math.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> Fact one. I know for a fact that Goofy likes Ronald Reagan.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> Fact two. Tom Clancy dedicated one of Jack Ryan's books to Ronald Wilson Reagan.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> Fact three. Jack Ryan stands for the USA.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> Fact four. Jack Ryan is CIA.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> So how can Goofy not like the CIA? What's not to like? He's some kind of <i>geek</i> and <i>can't connect four dots??</i> How long should<i> that </i>take?</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> Well, I don't have all day. It's time to <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MRz8nXFVegc&feature=related">pull a Hank Snow and be movin' on</a>, if you know what I mean. It's time to stop thinking and start figuring things out. And that's just what I've done.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> Fact Five:</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> The CIA needs our help, because <i>even they</i> have an Achilles heel, if you know what I mean, and here it is: They <i>can't</i> stand up for themselves because <i>they'd be violating National Security</i>. They're <i>counting on us</i> to <i>realize this</i> and <i>stand up for them!</i> </span><br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> The clock is ticking. It's high time to stand up for the CIA.</span><br />
<br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">by Hobbert Ryde</span></div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"> Well, as I was saying, if you want some good three-letter words, I've got a few myself, like F.B.I. and C.I.A.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"> But I'm going to take it right from the top, with that simple three letter word that ought to be the most important word in our lives, in my book anyway. That's right: U.S.A. Just think about that for a minute.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"> Here, I'll use it in a sentence. "God Bless the U.S.A." What more do you need than that?</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"> Now I'm going to be the first one to honestly admit this: sometimes when I'm watching TV and they sing that song, I just feel like I'm part of the audience right there, and it almost brings tears to my eyes. (You can ask Ima Gine if you don't believe me.) I don't see how anybody can sit through that song and not want to stand up and die for their country, if need be.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"> There is no doubt that the proudest day of my life so far was on 9-11 when there were Congressmen who stood up right there in the rubble at Ground Zero and sang that song. I bet you can remember it if you were there that day.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"> And what was really <i>uncanny</i>, if you know what I mean, I could tell they really meant it. Including<i> liberal Democrats </i>who probably hadn't used the word <i>God</i> in four years, all standing up there four-square behind our young president, George W. Bush, facing a dangerous unknown future as one. I tell you, that<i> did something</i> for me. (Ima Gine said she thought it was probably God's judgment that scared the <i>fire</i> out of them. Maybe so.) But I know I never thought I'd live to see the day.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"> But I have to tell you that just the other day I saw another day that I thought I'd never live to see. At that link on <a href="http://www.sycamorethree.blogspot.com/2012/01/outlook-for-new-year.html">Sycamore Three</a> to <i>Doctor</i> Roberts, I saw myself hearing a <i>former member of the Reagan administration</i> -- that's right, the<i> Reagan</i> administration --<i> <a href="http://www.paulcraigroberts.org/2011/12/31/the-outlook-for-the-new-year/">trash-talking the U.S.A.</a></i> I couldn't believe it!</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"> Here, I'll give you his exact words: "The First Amendment is being all but restricted to rah-rah Americans who chant USA! USA! USA!"</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"> I'll be honest with you, I was pretty ticked off. I mean, I'm going to stand up proudly and say USA! USA! USA! whenever I hear the call, because to me that's the battle cry of freedom, and if you don't stand with us, you stand against us.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"> And in case you didn't know, this isn't just me talking. I'm quoting George W. Bush right here and right now, and in case you didn't know, <i>he</i> was quoting a <i>much</i> Higher Power, and I'd like to see anybody argue with <i>Him</i>, if you know what I mean.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"> But as far as I'm concerned, Mr. Roberts loses it right out of the starting gate, as we say around here. So I'm going to <i>parse</i> it for him.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"> The First Amendment was written <i>by Americans</i>. Right?</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"> The First Amendment was written <i>for Americans</i>. Right?</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"> So let's see, Doctor, if you can handle this simple logic: <i>The First Amendment was written by Americans for Americans</i>. Get it? Is there anything else you need to know that I can help you with?</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"> You say "The First Amendment is being all but restricted to rah-rah Americans." Well, for my money, what better group to restrict it to, if you know what I mean? Do you think it was written for <i>liberals</i> and <i>Democrats</i> who are always trying to tear down our country? Does <i>that</i> make some kind of sense to you?</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"> I hate to say this, but I'm really ashamed. I'm ashamed of you for that kind of trash-talk. I'm even more ashamed of Goofy over at Sycamore Three for <a href="http://www.paulcraigroberts.org/2011/12/31/the-outlook-for-the-new-year/">linking to it</a>.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"> You guys and Ron Paul deserve each other. As far as I'm concerned it's Dumb and Dumber, if you know what I mean. You keep talking about freedom of speech. Why don't you use it and stand up for the USA in her hour of need?</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"> You act like you don't know that the world has changed while you've been sitting there singing Kumbayah, or whatever you do.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"> Well, in case you hadn't noticed, we live in a day when a single religious fanatic in a cave in Afghanistan armed with nothing but a cell phone can call up four planes and attack our freedoms in a single day. That's the world<i> I </i>live in, bucko.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"> I hate to have to say this, but really, get a life.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><i>by Hobbert Ryde </i></span></div>
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> Mr. Goofy over at <a href="http://www.sycamorethree.blogspot.com/">Sycamore Three</a> couldn't get it right to save his life. I was going to say, "to save his soul," but Ima Gine would probably get upset. (<a href="http://psychemoresix.blogspot.com/2012/01/okay-i-admit-it.html">She hasn't discovered my blog yet</a>, but she might some day. Well, there goes freedom of speech right there, if you ask me.) And she's probably right. There are some things that are sacred, like remembering to use the right words not to offend anybody.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"> So Goofy had this goofy post -- what else could you expect? -- about the <a href="http://www.sycamorethree.blogspot.com/2012/01/outlook-for-new-year.html">"Outlook For The New Year,"</a> a title which he blatantly both plagiarized and stole from Paul Craig Roberts who <a href="http://www.paulcraigroberts.org/2011/12/31/the-outlook-for-the-new-year/">wrote an article at the same time about the exact same thing</a> as he did.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"> So Goofy has to pull the "credentials card," as I like to call it, and tell us that <i>Doctor</i> Roberts (probably nothing more than a Ph.D or a chiropractor) has "political credentials," like this means we should listen to him.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> Everybody seems to think that three letters makes a credential. Like PHD. Like CPA. (Heck, even like Ima Gine when she goes on and on about MRS. Sometimes, I think it's PMS.)</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"> So, you want credentials? I'll tell you the kind of credentials that impress <i>me.</i> Here's one with your precious three letters: F.B.I.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> Ring any bells? I thought so. Everybody knows about the F.B.I. Some people also remember that it was founded by the greatest living patriot and true American of our time, and his initials happened to be J. Edgar. Hoover. <i>Capishe</i>, comrade? Now <i>there was a man's man</i>, and if you don't believe me, you can ask Clyde A. Tolson. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"> Everybody, and I mean everybody, loved that man as if he was the Lord's right hand. Every president from Wilson to Nixon counted on him to protect our freedoms, and every G-man (yes, I use that term <i>proudly</i>) was a <i>Special Agent</i> to him. They loved him and he loved them in return. They would walk on water for him.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"> I'll tell you who didn't love him though. Two kinds of people. <i>Communists</i> and <i>panty-waists</i>. He had their number; he really did! And he'd go after them and lock them up. Heck, he even locked up that draft-dodging socialist Eugene V. Debs, and threw the key away. He didn't pussy-foot around. Heck, I'll bet you Eugene V. Debs would still be behind bars today if he hadn't been pardoned by that <i>pantywaist</i> president Warren G. Harding. (Who died a couple of years later, incidentally, so a lot of good that did him.)</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> And meanwhile J. Edgar Hoover kept going strong for the next <i>fifty years</i>, keeping America safe, strong, and free. You didn't mess with <i>him</i>, no sir. And the F.B.I. is still strong today. It's probably never been stronger. You want a door kicked down, they can do it. And they don't need a warrant from some <i>liberal judge, either</i>. I tell you, I think it's a shame the way the liberals think they can run this country, I really do. But then, they've never <i>sacrificed</i> to defend our freedoms the way the F.B.I. has, <i>every blessed day</i>. This might seem extreme of me, but I don't even think they even care.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"> Oh, I know if Robert Heid could get a word in edgewise, he'd bring up the anti-draft protestors and <i>peace-niks</i> like Helen Keller and the Mennonites, like he was making some kind of a point about World War I being a bad idea. But what he won't tell you is that he's making <i>my point for me</i>. Hey, I'm good with that. Because here comes the key, which you have never realized before. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"> What do they all have in common? Can't guess? Give up? Can you spell <i>German? </i> Can you spell <i>who were we fighting?</i> The elephant in the room, if you know what I mean, is that there were millions of <i>Germans</i> living in this country. As farmers, no less. Can you spell <i>immigrant?</i> Can you spell <i>control our food supply?</i> Did you know that they controlled <i>whole states?</i> Can you spell <i>North Dakota?</i> Can you spell <i>Bismark?</i> I didn't think so.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> So here's to my version of freedom of speech. I have the God-given right as a God-given American to tell any immigrant I want to to get on the next boat and go back where you came from, and I don't really care if you've been here two hundred years.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"> And you can call me extreme, but I'll tell you right now that our Sixteenth President, a man of real courage, who single-handedly saved the Union, yes, Abraham Lincoln, <a href="http://www.lib.niu.edu/1997/ihy970228.html">told the Africans</a> that very thing, and if he has the right to do so to save our precious Union, so do I.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> I stand proudly with Abraham Lincoln, the greatest president the United States ever had, and the greatest president the United States ever <i>will</i> have. He brought the Ship of State right through the dark storms of the Civil War, safe into New York Harbor right under the Statue of Liberty beside the Golden Door.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> <i>How about that</i>, Mr. Heid? Bet he won't answer. Bet he can't.</span><br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">-</span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"> </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> Oh, don't worry. I've got <i>plenty</i> more to say. But he'll just have to wait.</span><br />
<br />
<br />

<span style="font-size: large;">by Hobbert Ryde </span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> Okay, I admit it. Those words of mine were over the edge, as you might say.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> Ima Gine told me so when she read them last night. Actually, she gave me "holy heck," if you know what I mean, for using the "H-word." I admitted it, I slipped.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> She said remember those cartoons in the history books about the Revolutionary War days, where the guys would say "D--n" instead of, you know, uh, well, "d--n," and if it was good enough for the Founding Fathers it ought to be good enough for me, since I was always going off about the good old days at the beginning of our great nation, and what could I say to that? So let me go on the record that I apologize, here and now.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> So I said maybe we should move on, like the liberals, you know, "Move On," get it? (Oh never mind.) She said since when do we get our marching orders from the<i> liberals</i>. What could I say? </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> So then she got onto me for using the b-lls word. She said if I was going to bring up the subject at all, I should have said "t---icles," <i>with</i> the hyphens, and how would that have looked. She said that showed I shouldn't have brought up the subject at all.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> (Well right then I could tell where <i>that</i> was going, and sure enough, when we went to bed, she wouldn't bring up the subject at all. If you know what I mean.)</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> But I said I thought she missed the point, the point of the matter was about R-n P--l. I said I thought it was a pretty good first try, seeing that I haven't done anything like this before. Of course, I said, toning down the language and all.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> She said she thought I didn't know what I was talking about, like using the word "cartel." It showed I was just quoting other people. Ha! I said. Because now I knew I had the best of her. (I had looked it up after I wrote that thing and it meant pretty much what I thought it meant.)</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> I said, I knew you were missing the point! The point is, they are OUR cartels! They are one hundred percent AMERICAN, and R-n P--l is trying to make out that they are DIRTY and EVIL, and the WHOLE POINT is that they are what MADE AMERICA GREAT! <i>That's</i> my point.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> She said I shouldn't <i>raise my voice</i> like that, it made her nervous. And besides, she knew all that anyway, and didn't need me to tell her. Well, what could I say?</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> Okay, I admit it. I raised my voice. But I'm telling you, those R-n P--l people worry me. If I didn't know that God was looking out for this great nation of ours, I'd be plenty scared.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> And don't tell Ima Gine (she doesn't know about this blog yet), but we still need men with real t---icles, like I said before. And that includes some real heroes, in my book. Like D-n R---feld, S--n H---ity, and B-ll O'R---ly. And yes, most emphatically, D--k Ch---y.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">I can personally tell you right now how I know that your so-called "Good Doctor" doesn't know anything. <i>All</i> he was ever trained to do was to look at sick people, figure out what was wrong with them, and try to get them well.

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><i>by Hobbert Ryde</i></span></div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">That crazy Robert Heid at his <i>precious blogspot</i>, Sycamore Three, said he had to start his blog with a first post called, "Hello, World!" because it was traditional for some computer-programming reason, and he imagines himself to be some kind of former computer geek.</span><br />
<br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">I decided to <i>double-down</i>, if you know what I mean. I'd <i>see</i> his Sycamore Three and <i>raise</i> him to Psyche-More Six. Get it? Like poker, you know.</span><br />
<div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">So I'm NOT going to start my blog off that way. He'd call me some kind of <i>copy-cat</i>.</span></div>
<div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">He makes me sick, the goofy hypocrite. I finally had it, today, when he was about to post some laudatory drivel about Ron Paul, after <i>promising</i> everybody he was going to say less, which was the one good idea he has had so far. </span></div>
<div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">I could see what was coming. (Don't ask me how, just call them special powers.) So I just hijacked his site -- he's always whining about internet insecurity, as he likes to call it -- and took over under my own name. I really let him and "Doctor" Paul have it. You could read it at <a href="http://sycamorethree.blogspot.com/">his website</a>, but I'll save you the trouble and give you the whole deal in the next post.</span></div>
<div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">And as Walter Cronkite would have said, "And that's the way it is, Tuesday, January the tenth, two thousand twelve."</span><br />
