Jim Rockford ROCKS!!! But James Garner's got some Lib'ral BI+C# in him...MUD

[Mudboy Slim]

Thanks fer sharing this poem last year, my FRiend, but I wonder if you still feel America is "lost" as we watch the Coalition Forces' arrival CELEBRATED JOYOUSLY in Iraq?! Admittedly, the pendulum has been swinging AWAY from FReedom for the last 40 years, but once the War on Terrorism is far enuff along to be called "WON", don't you agree that the inevitable RestorationOfRights legislation will restore Liberties that have been squandered away fer generations?!

"Paradise Lost, Again" by J.J Lindsey

Do you remember what John Milton wrote?
a great poem of note,
he called it Paradise Lost,
we now know what that cost

Now a second Paradise is going away
because we’re being led astray
Americans don’t question anymore,
they accept any political whore

How sad, how very sad
to lose the freedoms that we had
what’s that you say?
has my mind gone astray?

Well let’s review what I write,
hopefully it will shed some light
as liberty takes flight,
while the thieves work through the night

I see laws being passed,
assuring our freedom will not last,
done in the name of security,
soon, we’ll no longer be free

They passed the “patriot law”
and finance reform,
each is flawed,
serfdom will be the norm

Free speech will be restricted,
demonstrations interdicted,
a czar will judge our intent,
we’ll wonder where our freedom went

These people are truly evil,
intent on causing upheaval,
in our values system,
fulfilling their mission

Look what they’ve done to our nation
taking over our schools,
they are an aberration,
turning out non-thinking fools

That’s why the Clintons walk free,
also Terry Mac, Reno and Kennedy,
they’re all involved in serious crimes,
yet not one is doing time

The majority have been put to sleep,
having been molded into sheep,
except for us who speak out loud,
refusing to go along with the crowd

Maybe we’ll win, maybe we’ll lose,
it depends on what Americans choose,
will integrity and honor prevail,
will these criminals be sent to jail?

And the beat goes on

Mud...I totally agree...supposedly, though, they had him speak at our national association's convention and it was a huge draw. They were looking at the money side. My point was, our association is inherently right-wingers....how many will go to see him....their thinking was "he's still a past president"....my thinking was, only by a technicality!

[MeekOneGOP]

...they're already the Soul of what's LEFT of the Lifeless Mass of Group-Idiocy into which Lib'ralism has transformed the once-PROUD Democratic Party of America!!

Good point !

The Dirty 'RATS !

[OldFriend]

Watching the Kurds pour into the streets with such joy was a moment never to be forgotten. MSNBC only showed a few minutes of their celebration but it was wonderful.

Of course, seeing that AMERICAN flag on the head of Saddam before the statue was brought down sent a very powerful message.

[cherry_bomb88]

Old 88...we're coming up on the very first 88 of this thread, who ya' think will get it???

[Mudboy Slim]

"...the very first 88 of this thread, who ya' think will get it???"

Won't be me...the MudCave's flooding and I've gotta go off-line to start Shop-Vac'ing up the water...LOL!!

See ya tomorry...MUD

[Mudboy Slim]

"...a moment never to be forgotten."

I can't wait to see the footage...I'm heading home now.

"he's still a past president"

Slick's a Disgraced, DE-Legitimized EX-MassMurdererInChief!!

Anybody who ain't figgered that out yet, will in time...MUD

"Jim Rockford ROCKS!!! But James Garner's got some Lib'ral BI+C# in him..."

HA!!
He does, huh.
Well it can't be much.

...he's *gotta* be pushing every bit of 80, by now.

[cherry_bomb88]

Have fun....been there, done that.

[Landru]

"...we're coming up on the very first 88 of this thread, who ya' think will get it???"

The Sultan would be a sentimental favorite for me.

...if it weren't Wednesday.

[CounterCounterCulture]

I remember that song fondly from old Warner Bros. cartoons. And who says cartoons aren't educational. ;-)

[cherry_bomb88]

Perhaps I will leave it for him...the question is, can we get everyone else not to post until he's taken his seat at #88?????

[Mudboy Slim]

"...who says cartoons aren't educational. ;-)"

T'wuzn't I, my FRiend...I still remember "SchoolHouseRock!!"

Baseball Shuns Sarandon and Robbins

"Plans to commemorate the 15th anniversary of the popular baseball movie Bull Durham later this month in Cooperstown, N.Y. were cancelled Wednesday because of anti-war criticisms made by two of the film's co-stars.

The National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum issued a release saying the recent views expressed by Tim Robbins and Susan Sarandon "ultimately could put our troops in even more danger."

[Happygal]

Landru, I was out tonight (because of a press launch for a local show) with MANY of my friends, one of them a possible Labour candidate for the next elections.

I'm really not the 'gloating' type, and besides, this freedom is for the Iraqi people, and not for me to point score. But after six months of being vilified as a 'war monger' by my left wing friends, I couldn't resist asking them what they thought of the exhuberent scenes on TV today. In fact I think I said: ``You see the Iraqi 'berlin wall' moment on TV today. Ye know? The people you said we shouldn't liberate?''

I had to listen to more back peddlin' shit (excuse the language) tonight than I have in the last six months when they thought they were crusaders for 'good'.

I'm a simple enough girl.

But I cannot understand WHY people can't admit it when they were not only WRONG. DAMN WRONG!!!

[poet]

"don't you agree that the inevitable RestorationOfRights legislation will restore Liberties that have been squandered away fer generations?!"

Mud, my friend, there shouldn't be a need for a "Restoration of Rights" because these rights should not have been taken away in the first place. The Pres and both houses of congress violated the Constitution passing these laws, thus violating their sworn oaths to uphold it.

IMO, the seat of economic power will reside in Rome in the future. GATT and NAFTA & especially the WTO is part and parcel of the Bushs' (and their cohorts) New World Order.

If memory serves, GATT received only 4 hours of debate in the Senate which was a "lame duck" Senate AND controlled by the republicans. Imagine that, Mud, 4 hours to pass a TREATY that will affect us for years to come. Don't you think that was a betrayal of the American worker? I do!
Many companies moved their operations after the passage of these two obscenities.

BTW, it will be interesting to see what Corporations get the Billion $ contracts to restore Iraq at the expense of the American taxpayer.

Unless we take back our schools away from the Feds and the incompetant "teachers, American children will be dumbed down. Destroy the minds of children and you destroy the country.

Kids come in my store and say a thing is "bended" instead of bent and when they play a game, they say they "won" him instead of beat him. At least ten kids have said that to me (I hold YuGiOh card tournaments in my store every Saturday).

I ask them who the Sec of State is and Sec of Defense and they don't know.

To repeat, unless we take back the educational systems to the local level, I still feel the same as I wrote in that poem.

Now listen.
In the past any inquisitive, inquiring, would be "journalist" would've asked the same things of their "friends" as you!
But today damned few actually muster the moxie to ask; hence, our present *shortage* of "good" journalists, eh?

Good for you, Angel#1!!
There're a couple of those people you've caused to actually think. :^)

One other thing; I realize (at your tender age) the term "friend," is loosly applied.
But please, goto the dictionary & look up the word, "aquaintance," OK??
As your years advance, you'll find the distinction not only a refreshing one (as it'll absolve you) but also a saving grace. {g}

"I had to listen to more back peddlin' shit (excuse the language) tonight than I have in the last six months when they thought they were crusaders for 'good'."

HA!!
Angel?
You're *french* is perfect english, to me.
The *operative* phrase to hone-in on here is, "...when they thought they were crusaders for 'good'"
That's the key & believe it or not, an entire novel could be written on *that* subject, alone. (no shit... ;^) )

If you think of it?
The only real way to differentiate between the stooges [read: "useful idiot"] in this life & the real "Liberal-Socialist" SOB?
Lies in your perception of their intent, doesn't it?
Follow?

"I'm a simple enough girl."

Yea that you are, alright.
~sigh~
But you're also a hellova woman, too.

"But I cannot understand WHY people can't admit it when they were not only WRONG. DAMN WRONG!"

HA!!
Well, I could pontificate on that ad nauseum ad infinitum; but, what'd be the point?
That's an *angle* you need to contemplate time & again and when you *think* you've their/a motive(s) figured out?
Write of the phenomenon!!
Your readers are asking similar -- if not the same -- question(s). (~wanna bet?)
*Sell* 'em the answer(s) sweetheart; because, they sure in the hell aren't gonna take [it] if you give it to 'em for free.

*Since* you can "see" this particular oddity, these days that kind of "insight" (easily) qualifies you as a "leader."
So don't be looking a "gift horse" in the mouth, Lady, write these things down, & you go for it!!

...understand? ;^)

[Happygal]

Understand?

Understood!!!!
