I'm Really Sick Of People Who Play The Race Card At Every Opportunity And Try To Lay A "SOCIAL JUSTICE" Guilt Trip On America.

HELLO HAPPY PEOPLE!

The next time someone tells you that America owes the descendants of slaves reparations for slavery and years economic injustice.

Just ask them this question, "Who owes reparation to the descendants of the men - who never owned a slave - but died to end slavery?"

Thousands of widows and orphans of men killed in the battles - to first save the Union and then after 1863's Emancipation Proclamation to free the slaves - lost their homes and farms when their sons, brothers and husbands never returned from Vicksburg, Nashville, Mobile Bay, Bull Run, Shiloh Meeting House, Cold Harbor, Andersonville, Charolettesville, Atlanta, Chicamauga or Gettysburg.

Nobody owes anyone anything today.
The books were balanced in blood long ago.

Today's message is this.

Use your talents, gifts, grit and gristle.
Become as successful as you can.

Everyone is entitled to life, liberty
and the pursuit of happiness.
Period.
End of story.
Case closed.

This doesn't make me a cold-hearted, mean-spirited "racist."
It makes me a Commonsensetarian.

Does the American Dream work? It does if you do!

Ask Oprah, Colin Powell, Bill Cosby, Alan West, Thurgood Marshall, Clarence Thomas, Herman Cain, Muhammad Ali, David Stewart, John H. Johnson, Michael Jordan, Derek Jetter, Condeleeza Rice, Louis Black, Will Smith, Eddie Murphy, Halle Barry...need more examples?

Pick up a copy of Black Entrepreneur. It's full of success stories about success strivers!

Or, people can choose to keep on sucking at the breast of Federal government dependency on the New Plantation. They can sop up free government gravy with the crumbs of individual irresponsibility. They can even wallow in the swamp of self-pity that Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton and the abetting Progressive Democrats like to refill with racial divisiveness and class envy every chance they get.

C'mon everybody!

It's time for every American of every race, color, age and creed to write their own Declaration of Individual Independence And Personal Reponsibility and get themselves and America on the road to success again.

United we stand...divided we fall.

2016...It Is NOT An "Obama Hit Piece." It is a Think Piece...

HELLO HAPPY PEOPLE!

I went to see the movie 2016 today.

It was not a partisan "Obama hit piece" as I was frankly expecting it to be.

I am urging you to do is this - please go see it. The interview with President Obama's half-brother in Nairobi, Kenya is particularly interesting. All the interviews are candid, open and in a longer format - not quick cuts and gratuitous sound bites.

It is beautifully produced, well-researched, scholarly - but hardly dull, pedantic or preachy.

I'm urging all my children, friends, colleagues and business associates to please go see 2016.

Take only an open mind.

I think you'll be glad that you made the time investment.

Thanks for considering ...

Congressman Akin Wants To Go Down With The Ship! Senator Claire McCaskill And The Democrats Will Give Him And The ENTIRE Republican Party A Running Broadside!!

HELLO HAPPY PEOPLE!

DO I HEAR THE SOUND OF DISTANT DRUMS? I hope I do! I hope that John Brunner and the USMC are on the way!  John was the 2nd place finisher in the Missouri Republican Primary and he needs gets going soon!

Akin hardly had a mandate, he won in a 3-way field.

Akin forgets that he is running to represent ALL the people of Missouri.

He should have stayed FOCUSED on the issues that affect ALL the people - the economy, the deficit and job malaise. There was NO reason to go into "the social issues swamp " where you can easily alienate many otherwise potentially supportive eople.

I must say that Congressman Akin's hubris irks me when he says he was "elected" in the primary.

NO NO NO...he was SELECTED as the candidate to stand for election in November.

The smartest CEO that I ever worked with had a great saying, "Sometimes you have to de-select and reselect."

I think this is one of those de-selection moments.

________________________

THE DIRTY OPEN SECRET: McCaskill "campaigned for Akin" and spent millions on TV to influence the Republican Primary and in an "open primary state" thousands of McCaskill Democrats asked for Republican primary ballots and voted for Akin as instructed.

McCaskill wanted to run against Akin...and she got her "wish."

Then Congeressman Akin obliged by putting his Florsheims in his mouth.

Was the Charles Jaco interview an ambush? Nope.

It was pure Akin, and he handed his opponents a baseball bat to wail on him and...as I predicted...every Republican candidate from the top down.

Was McCaskill lucky? Maybe, but never under estimate Senator Claire "The Little Rascal" McCaskill.

Birk, Commonsensetarian, Citizen of the Republic and a Mob of One.

PS: If Akin thinks that independent voters and many Republican women will now vote for him he is sadly mistaken.

He's the kind of guy that if he was Captain of the Titanic and the lookout yelled, "Iceberg!!"

Akin would have said, "Full speed ahead!"

Then after he was taking on water...he would have backed up and HIT IT AGAIN AND AGAIN AND AGAIN!

Lance Armstrong Continues To Ride On Creating Hope and Help For Cancer Survivors And Their Families! LIVESTRONG! It's NOT a slogan it's Lance Armstrong's Life and Enduring Legacy!

HELLO HAPPY PEOPLE!

LIVESTRONG!

I had the pleasure of working for The Lance Armstrong Foundation a few years back to License the LIVESTRONG brand to companies in consumer product categories.

I have never worked with finer people with deeper integrity - and that came right from the top.

Lance Armstrong personally set the tone and the pace.

His achievements are the culmination of a lifetime of grit, gristle, tens of thousands of hours on a bike and countless other hours working closely with his cancer treatment doctors, nutritionists and diagnostic specialists.

He has passed over 500 blood/drug/doping tests worldwide - many performed at random and totally unannounced - yet he is constantly dogged by people who could NOT touch the soles of his shoes even if they stood on the top of the tallest mountain.

His detractors peddle whispers, innuendos and unproved assertions.

Lance Armstrong pedaled to Inspiring Greatness and continues to create an enduring legacy of help and hope for a generation of cancer fighters and their patients in leading hospitals from coast-to-coast

Ride on and LIVESTRONG!

 

SNATCHING DEFEAT FROM THE JAWS OF VICTORY! Congressman Todd Akin "The Gift" That Keeps On Giving!

HELLO HAPPY PEOPLE:

SNATCHING DEFEAT FROM THE JAWS OF VICTORY! -

as I predicted, Todd Akin is the "gift that keeps on giving" to Senator Claire McCaskill and the Democrat Party.

My personal belief is that Congressman Akin will cause Senator McCaskill to be re-elected, if he does not step down right away.

I also believe that he has created a destructive and divisive distraction of epic magnitude that Democrats will use to bludgeon every Republican candidate across the country.

I can see them using his Charles Jaco-video clip at the Democrat Convention to make the specious argument that Republicans are engaged in a "War on Women."

I'm a Pro-Life person. But I'm not a single-issue voter. And I'm not God, or His judge.

If a woman asked me (highly unlikely) for an opinion about an abortion, I'd try to direct her to organizations that exisit to help women and keep unborn children alive.

People go to China, Russia and Romania to adopt kids. I know many people who have done this.

I believe that there are loving hearts here for children too.

I'd ask the woman to listen to her own heart and to heart that beats within her. In the final analysis, abortion is a matter for a woman's conscience and a Mother's heart.

In my opinion, The GOP needs to FOCUS SOLELY ON fixing the economy. It needs to maintain focus...single-minded laser beam focus on Obama's policies, the soaring debt, unemployment and economic maliase.

PERIOD - end of story.

If Congessman Akin does not step down by MONDAY - I'm calling on the Republicans in Missouri to back John Brunner as an Independent-Fiscal-Conservative. He garnered the second highest number of votes in the Republican primary.

We can get behind him and defeat Senator McCaskill on the economic issues.

Time is of the essence!

Biden-Aiken Disorder: Foot In Mouth Disease. WARNING: EASILY OFFENDED WOMEN AND SENSITIVE METRO-SEXUAL MEN PLEASE DON'T READ THIS!!

HELLO HAPPY PEOPLE!

The blog today was inspired by Biden-Aiken Disorder, also known as "Foot In Mouth Disease."

All the mis-speaking and Ms-speaking in the heat of the pressure-packed and highly stressful political campaign season reminded me one of my favorite old parochial schoolyard jokes.

WARNING: STOP RIGHT HERE IF YOU ARE OFFENDED BY JUVENILE OFF-COLOR HUMOR.

This joke was first told to me by Joe DeSutter. Now Lt. Col. Joseph DeSutter, USAF (sorta ret.)

BIG NEWS FLASH: A brand new soda named after Vice President Biden will be introduced at the Democrat National Convention. It's called JOKE ZERO. It has No Calories. No Clue. No Plan. No Ideas. Like Vice President Biden it is an empty canned JOKE and a 100% ZERO.

FREE ABORTION ON DEMAND! What If Their Moms Had Aborted Them? Women Dressed As Vaginas...Margaret Sanger Would Be So Proud.

MINI-CAMPAIGN ALERT: Since he was unable to penetrate The Big Vagina March sponsored by the Code Pink movement, Vice President Joe Biden might be creating Code Brown and will be marching as a giant anal aperture along with Bob Beckel, Paul Begala, Alan Colmes, Chris Matthews and David Axeholerod.

Fortunately they won't need any costumes, they can just come as they are.

Congressman Todd Akin Needs To Step Down - Here's The View Of One Ordinary Schmoo. Me!

HELLO HAPPY PEOPLE:

 

IT'S A BONUS BLOG TODAY!

I SENT THIS TO McGraw Milhaven of KTRS Radio this morning. I'm sure I'll get a good blistering on this...but, my gnarly old German butt can handle it.

Dear McGraw,
On your show this morning Sam Donelson said (check the tape) "Congressman Akin has done irreparable damage to the Republican Party."

That's WRONG Sam!

Congressman Akin has caused irreparable damage to himself. I can't speak for anyone but me - so here goes. Mr. Akin is entitled to his beliefs. That said, his beliefs are his and he ALONE has to answer for them.

I'm not a single issue voter - I think that emotionally-charged social issues like this can be used to distract, divide and demonize -and that is hardly conducive to a critical debate on the major issues of the day - which in my own opinion is President Obama's economic policies and the detrimental effects they are having on America.

I want Congressman Akin to step down because this is a political election - not a moral/religious/spiritual dogma referendum. I for one am content to allow every woman to follow her own conscience.

You can be pro-life or pro-choice and find lots of common ground in opposing the $16 trillion debt run-up and high unemployment and Federal regulations that are creating the economic malaise. Those are the central issues in my view.

The Republican Party and schmoos like me have asked the Congressman to step down because his personal religious convictions have become a distraction from the Economic Focus as he gives needless credence to the specious argument that Republicans are engaged in a "War On Women."

Congressman Akin's views - right or wrong or whatever - do not represent the views of the Missouri Republican party or this schmoo.

As far as letting the "voter's decide" - we now have new post-primary input - and look at the primary election results - Akin did not win a "landslide mandate" - he ONLY came in first in a strong field that included Sara Steelman and runner-up John Brunner.

In this one COMMONSENSETARIAN's opinion, Congressman Akin needs to recognize that his personal convictions are, to be charitable, highly questionable and to say the least, distracting from the economic issues.

If he had made this statement before the primary, I'll bet you a 6-inch Subway Sandwich and a Coke ZERO that we would not be having this discussion today.

Thanks for a lively and spirited show today...it got my old heart a'pumpin'

An Open Letter To My Children From A Long Timer With A Short Fuse. When A Dad Speaks In The Forest Does Anyone Hear Him Fall?

Dear Chef Matt, Libby, Kurt and Randy,

I'll get right to the point...by walking all the way around the barn.

Statistics tell me that at age 65, I'm 90.2% of the way to R.I.P.  So I won't be around to afflict you with my ideas, admonitions, exhortations and wonderful sense of humor for much longer than 7 to 10 years.

Let me share a few thoughts with you...

1) Thanks for letting me be your Dad...for however long or short that individual exposure might have been. Very very, very, very short for Kurt and 135 eternities for Randy - with Chef Matt and Libby somewhere in between.

2) I hope that that experience has not scarred any of you too deeply.

3) I'm really proud of each one of you - 4 extraordinarily different people - but each one of you fiercely independent and successfully pursuing your own dreams.

DAD-LY ADVICE: Keep your eyes on the prize of your passion!

Don't hit grizzley cubs with a broomstick when they crawl in  through your kitchen window to get an avacado, never hug a pit bull, if you're wearing a stewmeat necklace, go easy on the cumin, never stand under a titanium binion and always be sober when packing your own parachute before base jumping!!

4) This may come as a SHOCK. I am a very flawed person. I'll bet that I have done more stupid, irrational, selfish, boorish and hurtful things than almost anyone of whom I can think.

Married to two long-suffering women - with obviously flawed judgement in the Husband Selection category...I can say, "Always love and listen to your Mother!"

Now after 65 years on the planet. Working and earning my own living for 46 of those years, that's 70.7% of my life, I now find myself in a funny place.

I'm not complaining, explaining or whining. I make no apologies. Feel no guilt. Have no regrets or refrets. All those yesterdays are in my rearview mirror and reliving them will not add one minute to my life, one inch to my height or one ounce of happiness to my or anyone else's day.

I am having a GREAT life!

So, where is all this going? There actually is a point.

I'm worried.

Not of croaking and taking the "Big Dirt Nap." I'm worried that you and your children will grow up in an enslaved America in an increasingly dangerous world.

This may come as another SHOCK. I'm not a Republican, Democrat, Libertarian, Communist, Facist, Social-Democrat, or ECO-Greenie-Beanie-Weenie. I'm a Commonsenstarian.

I have been watching all kinds of people for many years. Some people are hopelessly stupid. Others are hopelessly lazy. Some are outright crooks. Others are corner-shooters, brown-nosers and ass-kissers. Some are users. Some are abusers. Some are refusers.

I feel sad for people who are and remain genuinely IGNORANT and I HATE those scumbags who manipulate their ignorance and exploit their fears and lack of education, limited knowledge and dearth of common sense.

There are also many very good people. By and large they make no news, no muss and no fuss...they just live a good life. Fair and square. They work, they contribute, they help others and they mind their own business and they don't try to tell you how to live your life.

I am an an unhypenated American and I love my country. Period.

My message to you, my dear adult children, is this. YOU ARE ON YOUR OWN and you all know what's expected of you. You know that you are not entitled to anything...including sitting on your butts and bitching and moaning, fussing and cussing and blaming other people if Mr. Shitstorm comes a knockin' on your door.

Now, let's talk about your responsibilties as Citizens of the Republic.

Don't lie, cheat or steal. Don't let emotions ever get the best of your mind. Don't be a single issue voter. Don't be a feminist. Don't be a pianist. Don't play an accordian either! Don't hate whites. Don't hate blacks. Don't hate gays. Don't rely on government. Don't envy rich folks. Don't believe what any politician tells you. Don't let anybody push you around. Don't let any individual, political party or religion tell you what's up and what's down. (Me included)

Do your own research. Do dig for truth, really obtain, know math and understand facts and figures. Do live fearlessly. Do love your country. Do cherish life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. Do your best. Always try to do the right-est thing.

Write your own life story, sing your own song and follow your heart's desire. And if you want to do one thing that will put a smile on a mean old angry white geezer-fart's face please vote this year!  I won't presume to tell you who to vote for...or why.

If you want to know what I think, read my blogs. If you don't I'm okay with that too. I trust your judgement, thoughtfulness and well-reasoned discernment. 

Here's a link I'd encourage you to read, it's a Commencement Address at Texas A&M down in College Station.

http://theghostfighters.wordpress.com/2012/05/25/texas-am-commencement-address-the-students-gave-a-standing-ovation-the-faculty-were-deathly-silent/

That's pretty much it...except to say, "I love you!"

Birk, (a.k.a. Dad the Dud) Commonsensetarian, Citizen of the Republic, a Mob Of One.

PS: Don't put off doing anything good.

LIVE is a verb!

Love is a pluperfect conjunctive adjectvertubal.

If people say that you're weird or crazy, just smile and say, "I got that from my Dad!"
