People are trying to figure out why a state with the motto:  "Live Free or Die" is having a collective orgasm over a Republican like John McCain who has been infected with the "RINO virus".  What is the RINO Virus you may ask?  Well it is when you continuously sell-out the Founding Fathers' vision for America by joining with left-wing, new age "outside the Constitutional box" thinkers who want to radically reshape the America we love!  The RINO virus slowly corrupts you to the point where you do things like pass legislation which limits free speech and leads to subversive "527 Groups".  Thanks alot for that "MoveOn.org" group John, we appreciate that.

At the risk of ticking off some "Granite headed" types in New Hampshire, I'm going to call a spade a spade.  The simple fact is that this state is infested TODAY with typical liberals.  Remember the "Meat and Potatoes saying" for liberals:  "They are snobs, hypocrites and liars."  Case in point, hypocrisy.  When I lived in North Billerica, MA back in the early 1990's, I was victim to a growing trend and the massive traffic it spawned on route 3.   It seemed that real estate values in southern New Hampshire were going through the roof as more and more Massachusetts lefties were "pullin' chocks" for the Granite state.  The reason?  to DODGE MA taxes!  So today, we find this second in the nation primary to be decided by "Bay Staters in disguise".  In fact, it could be argued that Massachusetts gets TWO state primaries and that is certainly not fair!  Isn't it ironic and reprehensible that these snooty liberals who ran from Massachusetts to New Hampshire nearly 20 years ago, feel that it is ok to vote for liberal candidates who will raise YOUR taxes?  That is always the case with selfish hypocrite liberals, they care only about themselves, to hell with you and the rest of the country!

We should all mandate that four years from now, when the next presidential primaires take place, states like Iowa and New Hampshire be PUT AT THE BACK OF THE PACK.  Why not start the presidential primaries in southern states?  One could certainly mount a convincing argument why the south deserves to be heard first in any presidential contest.  The south is growing, optimistic, traditional, patriotic and not obsessed with growing the size of government at the expense of our freedoms.  Oh wait, I just gave the exact reasons why entrenched socialists in the news media and our government DO NOT want primaries to start in the south!  How absolutely silly of me..... 

The 60's kids have taken control of government and are governing under the rules of a gentleman who is long gone yet his influence lives in the hearts of Democrats today.  Take a few moments to familiarize yourself with Saul Alinsky.  His approach to achieve what I've called a "New American Order" is to do whatever it takes to infuse socialism into American society.  The ends justify the means in the opinion of Alinsky and no scheme, no dirty trick, no underhanded tactic is too low.  Hillary Clinton is a student of the radical Alinsky movement, so much in fact, that she did her senior thesis at Wellesley College on his leftist philosophies. Look it up if you don't believe Mr. Meat and Potatoes!

Alinsky advocates Machiavellian modus operandi to an extreme and it is being played out right before your very eyes if you pay any attention to the Democrat controlled Congress.  Since gaining power in November 2006, when American voters had a momentary lapse of reason (kinda reminds me of an album by Pink Floyd..haha) the Democrats have accomplished nothing of substance, except to gain a paltry 70 cent raise in the minimum wage.  Instead of tackling BIG problems such as illegal immigration, winning the war against Islamo-Fascism  or fixing problems with social security, they have only attempted to undermine the Bush administration through the politics of personal destruction.  At present time, there are over 300 investigations going on in Washington.  Democrat radicals are issuing criminal contempt citations against Bush administration advisors who have protection through what is called "Executive Privilege" and are immune from any Congressional prosecution on this well established precedent.

Now, Democrats know they are "pissing up a rope" with these efforts so why are they even doing it?  They're doing it to cause as much public unrest, confusion, distraction and doubt in this administration purely for political reasons.  You have to remember with these radicals, everything centers on the idea of overthrowing and restructuring the current system on an INCREMENTAL basis, so gradual that you don't even realize it.  Overthrowing our constitution, reorganizing our government and bringing about the "New American Order" is their solemn vow.  What will their "New America" look like:

1) open borders with an unlimited number of formerly "illegal aliens" receiving government handouts paid for by YOU
2) no real American family structure with government providing the structure previously provided by a father and mother
3) a severely downsized and utterly ineffective military which will essentially exist to enforce orders from the state
4) no gun ownership by private citizens, only for government officials to enforce the socialist state
5) a U.S. Supreme Court infested with counter-culturalists who favor government over the individual in every case
6) confiscatory tax rates that make Canada and Europe look like good places to relocate your family
7) the scrubbing of God's mention from everything in the public sector to attain absolute secularism
8) further strengthening of the public schools as a tool of socialistic indoctrination

9) all traditions and traces of the distinct American culture removed from existence

Now, you may notice that some of the above listed objectives have already been achieved to a certain degree.  Attempts at a secularized society, disintegration of the family unit and public schools which indoctrinate rather than instruct.  These are just some of the achievements the hard left-wing radicals can tout when they gather at Alinsky's grave in California to pay him homage. 
The danger from militant, radical socialists is very real.  If you don't believe me, take a look at what has been happening in the nation's capitol.  We have the Senate Majority Leader meeting with radical, left-wing bloggers and participating in morning conference calls with the leader of www.MoveOn.org, billionaire financier George Soros.  Other left-wing groups such as Center for American Progress, Americans Coming Together and People for the American Way are also on a first name basis with BOTH leaders of our Legislative Branch!  Now, when radicals have preferred direct access to our government leaders, I am filled with trepidation.  How about you?

No, Super Tuesday has nothing to do with the Super Bowl.  Unlike the Super Bowl where we really only watch at half-time for the commercials, this "Super" event will actually control OUR LIVES and the lives of our children.  Yet, many tune it and the events leading up to it, out completely.  Now why is that?

On Super Tuesday, which has been moved up a full month this year because of a bunch of idiotic states who want the spotlight, at least 20 of them will hold presidential primaries to decide who gets the nod to run as president next year in November.  Once Super Tuesday passes, our fate as Americans is all but sealed my friends.  The fight for America's future will essentially come down to 2 individuals with much different philosophies.

So, there you sit and as you're reading this you think to yourself all the typical brainwashing blather from the media.  "I don't make a difference and the whole system is corrupt, so who gives a crap anyways."  Well, if you already think this way, who am I to change your mind, right?  Let America go to hell, screw the country's future, so what if we go the way of the Roman Empire.  The problem with this style of thinking is that the FUTURE IS NOW and it will affect YOU!  Ask yourself the following 3 questions before giving up on America's future:

1) Do you want another 9/11-style attack to happen?  If you answered NO, then you want to tune in and follow this presidential primary.

2) Do you want your kids, nieces, nephews, dog, whatever to grow up in a country that becomes a Third World nation because of global competition, a broken TAX system and illegal immigration "gone wild"?  If you answered NO, then you just might want to tune in and follow this presidential primary.

3) Do you want your take home pay to plummet as your wages go to hell in a handbasket and taxes more than double to cover the costs of an overloaded social-security system and other government give-aways?  If you answered NO, then it's a safe bet you'll be tuning in and following this presidential extravaganza!

This election is a seminal event in our time.  We stand at the crossroads of a 60's vision of european-style socialism versus the traditional America that built the biggest free market economy in the history of the world!  No other country in the world enjoys our standard of living but THEY WILL SOON if we don't get our heads out of our butts and wake the heck up.

Mobilize Grassroots Troopers!  Time is dwindling just like it was for the Roman Empire in "Gladiator".  They were too busy at the Colisseum watching the lions feast as the government crumbled around them.  Let us not make the same type of mistake or we will live to regret it!

My days of idolotry for Chuck Norris have long since passed but I have been reminded of him lately thanks to the campaign strategy of that new presidential sensation known as:  The Huck-Ster!  That's right, Mike Huckabee has somehow been able to woo ole Chuck away from the set of "Walker:  Texas Ranger" and make him star in some pretty impressive campaign commercials (if you're a dunderhead).  Have you seen them?

Well next time you do, think of this analogy I present before you today as you remember back to the days of all those great Chuck Norris movies.  You watched with amazement and like me, even a touch of idolotry as he kicked one foe's booty after another.  One by one, his adversaries would get back up and run his way, eager for another dose of Chuck's specialty, a swift karate chop/kick to the noggin'!  Did you ever sit there and wonder why the 3 or 4 opponents never decided to gang-up and rush ole Chuck at the same time?  I remember vividly like it was yesterday saying to my friends in western Mass:  "That's such wicked BS guys......the dudes with the black masks could all attack at once and Norris would be taken out....BIG TIME!"  This was in the 1980's if you've not figured it out by now so let's fast forward to present day and SLAM my powerful analogy home.

Imagine Chuck Norris standing in the same movie set surrounded by the same 4 masked opponents.  But this time Chuck is wearing a shirt that reads "United States of America".  Each of his opponents have on shirts too but theirs read "Iran", "New Soviet Union", "China" and this huge, really scary looking guy has a shirt on which reads:  "Illegal immigration".  Each of these opponents have learned the proper way to attack a formidable force such as Chuck Norris.  Come at him by yourself and he is sure to bludgeon you like he did back in the 1980's!  This time a new strategy is employed by which the attackers have coordinated their efforts, before coming face to face with Chuck. 

They begin to circle him in a threatening manner and he looks at them, attempting to figure out which one will be the first to meet his fury.  Imagine his shock and dismay to see "China", "Soviet Union" and "Iran" all make their advance at once.  He is stunned and confused as the 3 attackers grab onto him and pull him to the floor.  Flailing about, kicking and screaming, he mounts his best resistance as "Illegal Immigration" comes over and sits right on top of his face, thereby smothering him to death.

Chuck has finally been vanquished, after all these years.  Problem is that Chuck is "America" in this analogy and America is US....  or our children after we have passed along to the nether regions.  America has been a world's superpower far too long and these opponents see fit to change the status-quo.  Don't let them be successful by becoming a "Meat and Potatoes Loyalist".  Once I equip you with the knowledge you need to do "intellectual combat", you will become a bonafide Grassroots Trooper and the sky will be the limit.

Fred Thompson is being starved by the mainstream media.  Their plan is to boycott him as much as they possibly can and by doing so, the campaign money will chase Huckabee, Romney and McCain.  Thompson will slowly wither on the vine as the saying goes and nothing could please socialists from coast to coast more!  Thompson needs to get on the stick and the time is now!  He needs to seize the agenda, he needs to BECOME THE MEDIA STORY!  How to do this is the question and I have just the idea.  But it will take Duncan Hunter's help.......READ ON!
===============================================================

Dear Congressman Hunter,

I am an East Tennessean who absolutely adores you and your son.  The moment I realized your potential was when you had all the reporters to a meeting where you unveiled a sample meal that was representative of what the unlawful enemy combatants at "Club Gitmo" eat.  Do you remember that masterful display?  I watched your stroke of genius on C-SPAN live.

I am a conservative blogger on an up and coming site called TownHall.  In past weeks my blog, the Meat and Potatoes Blog has listed as high as number 4 in the top 10.  Not to say that I'm the next Robert Novak but I do tend to attract some eyeballs as I evidently combine an attractive writing style with an undeniable degree of wit.  The eyeballs keep coming so someone must be entertained!

I would love to work for you on a campaign but I feel that the only realistic way that could happen is if you run as Fred Thompson's "wingman" and let me explain why.  Fred Thompson is the closest thing, ideologically to YOU that we conservative/traditionalists can find on our side of the aisle.  Both of you are strong on the U.S. Constitution and both are free market capitalists.  I love your stance on illegal immigration "gone wild" and I feel that ole Fred could be whipped into line on that one as well.  However, Fred does have the advantage of being a Hollywood actor and this difference, in today's society, is what tips the balance in his favor.

What if Thompson could be persuaded to announce you as a running mate during the primary process?  Think about how landmark and absolutely outside the box this would be!  By having you on the bottom of the ticket, Thompson could declare that you will have as your biggest tasking, the crack-down on illegal immigration and absolute closure of the southern border.  Kind of like Bill Clinton declaring Al Gore the "global warming czar" but without all the B.S.!  This would begin a talk radio buzz and media firestorm that WILL dominate the nation at a critical time as "Super Tuesday" approaches.

Let's face it, Fred Thompson IS the actor and you know what that means?  He's the closest thing we've got to a Ronald Reagan.  Lord knows we could use "the Gipper" these days as things are coming unraveled quicker than a sweater in a cartoon with the little bird flying away.  Fred Thompson has the connections and has the NAME recognition to attract the dunderhead votes, I'm just being fully honest here.  If you ran as VP, just think of the White House dominance that would follow for 2016!  We have to think long-term and big picture here.  That's just the philosophy of a blogger in "fly-over country" who follows this stuff very closely.

Watching Huckabee on C-SPAN right now and am gratified to see this guy going into a graveyard spiral like JFK Junior over Long Island Sound in July 1999.  Some observations about this guy:

0) he's a bit of a wise-a$$ with a short fuse in private and I'll bet money on it!

1) he is a media created sensation, an empty suit whose 15 minutes of fame are rapidly coming to an end.

2) he is better suited as a Democrat with a record of being strong on entitlements and taxes while being weak on punishment of criminals and cracking down on illegal immigration.

3) he's a major back-bencher when it comes to foreign affairs experience.

4) he's a walking bag of cliches, in fact using one right now as I'm writing this entry.  Let's all call him "Captain Cliche" for the duration of this primary season or until he flames out like Howard Dean in 2004...haha.

5) he is offering no vision for America, only a laundry list of reasons why Mitt Romney sucks.

6) he ought to stand in for Jay Leno sometime when Jay is sick because the guy's got pretty good timing.

7) the media wants him to win the Republican primary because he's the easiest guy to beat, plain and simple!

And all through the state, not a pundit was predicting...........  Have you noticed how all the formerly omniscient pundits are covering their bets and withdrawing from much earlier predictions of doom for certain candidates.  One such individual is Fred Thompson, the media has all but abandoned this poor soul and I was beginning to think he had dropped out of the race.  Then, all of the sudden, his wife appeared on Fox News Channel with Greta Van Susteren and I was reminded that ole Fred is still in this race, even if the media wishes otherwise.

What scares the news media is that Fred Thompson is THE MOST "Reagan-esque" character in this hit parade for a variety of reasons.  Perhaps the most important one is that Fred doesn't have to explain why he was not a conservative in the past.  He doesn't need to couch his phraseology, dance around past positions or equivocate as to why he voted a certain way.  The simple fact is that Fred Thompson is the candidate that many people wish they could find this election season but too many have been brainwashed into thinking that he isn't the guy!  That is where Iowa comes in during this critical election season of 2008.

Turn on any political analysis program and within ONE minute of hearing Fred Thompson's name, you will hear the following:  the guy is lazy, he looks tired, he doesn't really want the presidency and he obviously doesn't have a fire in the belly.  Incidentally, the most recent pundit to use the "fire in the belly" reference was Bob Beckel and it must be true because Beckel has quite a belly himself!  Ever get any acid indigestion there Bob? 

As Iowa caucas-goers meet tomorrow and discuss the candidates, I urge them to reject the cute talking points advanced by Democrat operatives to the mainstream media about Fred Thompson and think about what I said earlier.  Not a single candidate can look back at their record and compare it to Thompson's record on the "Lion's Share" of issues that threaten our republic except Congressman Duncan Hunter.  On every seminal issue, the leading candidates have flip-flopped like John Kerry about funding the Iraq War!  Rudy now promises to crack down on illegal immigration.  Huckabee promises to be tougher on violent criminals and thwart tax increases.  Romney is going to toe-the-line on family values and insist on better societal behavior.  Tell me something:  what does Fred Thompson have to backtrack about folks?  What does he have to apologize for or equivocate about?  Absolutely nothing. 

If you read this column over the next 24 hours and you have any influence whatsoever on an "Ioway" voter who might attend one of the caucases, please think about what I've said.  This representative republic is at its most critical juncture and we cannot afford to waste another 8 years on weak-kneed leadership that takes us in the wrong direction.  We need bedrock, "Reagan-esque" conservatism that will keep us safe from radical Islam, restore our people's self-respect, fix entitlements run amok and keep bloated government programs out of our way.  The time is NOW, we haven't a moment to lose!

Actually, I explained why this would happen BACK IN MAY of 2007.  No kidding!  So, to adequately explain why Edwards is (depending on the poll) either in first place or firmly in second place for the Hawkeye Cauci, I am reposting my Myspace blog entry titled "MAYBE EDWARDS CAN SUE THE TERRORISTS".

Maybe Edwards Can SUE the Terrorists
by Sean Plankey      May 2007

As I caught part of the sophistry at last night's collection of intellectual nitwits, (i.e. the Democrat presidential debate) it suddenly dawned on me who will emerge as the Democrat presidential nominee.  Believe me, this Dem election is a choice between dumb, dumber and dumbest but I think there is one individual who will rise to the top and the explanation is quite simple.

John Edwards will be the Democrat nominee for president, despite what you read about in EARLY polling.  This "slip and fall" lawsuit happy lawyer has the kind of "forked tongue" that will be music to the ears of Democrat voters, the majority of whom are hopelessly ignorant about political issues.  Many of these fools aren't even paying attention yet, they're too busy watching re-runs of "The Simpsons", "American Idol" or "The View"!

It is not that Edwards provides any kind of inspiration or vision that is normally required of a leader.  Unsophisticated Democrat voters never asked for it from Bill Clinton, Al Gore or John Kerry.  Why would they start now?  Rather, Democrat voters typically seek a handsome candidate with a nice smile who LOOKS presidential.  Add to that a penchant for smooth talking that could rival any used car salesman and you arrive at the perfect candidate.  Remember the way Mister Perjury could twist a reporter's question in such a way as to make the question look stupid and embarrass the reporter?  Well my suspicion is that Edwards, a fellow lawyer and slicker than whale snot, can perform in the same deceptive fashion!

Additionally, without questioning the veracity of my wrists, I can admit to the obvious.  That Edwards is "easy on the eyes" with a hairstyle, so carefully coiffed that it makes his wife the envy of American women from coast to coast!  Studies have proven that women vote for the attractive candidate who makes them feel safe, comfortable and even loved!  Now, how in the heck would Hillary Clinton ever achieve that?

Speaking of "Shrill-ary", she's an empty suit who couldn't articulate her way out of a paper bag.  When she attempts to make a valid argument, it sounds as if fingernails are being dragged across a chalkboard.  EEEEK!  I can almost hear it now, can't you?  During the debate last night, she sounded monotone and robotic, as if every answer was rehearsed with her "handlers".  When a scenario didn't fit what her preparations could handle, she coyly answered "I'm not going to get into any hypotheticals tonight."  Say what Hill?  Being the president is all about hypotheticals, particularly in the post-9/11 world!  For her to not be able to discuss them is further proof of her lack of qualification to be president.

"Osama" Obama isn't really much better.  His lack of qualfications manifest themselves each time he opens his mouth and utters the same old, hackneyed rhetoric that has been used by Democrat presidential candidates throughout time.  No vision on keeping America safe, no new ideas on how to make government more efficient, no leadership on restoring American values to our culture and nothing that INSPIRES voters to vote FOR him.  Just divisive comments that utilize populist rhetoric with one objective in mind:  to divide America on a racial, ethnic and especially income basis.  Dividing Americans is an age old tactic of those whose allegiances are with socialistic thought because it makes government much more powerful.  A more powerful govenment naturally gives more power to those in positions of authority, its just common sense folks.  The truth about Obama is so similar to the truth about Hillary.  THEY ARE BOTH EMPTY SUITS WITH NO REAL EXPERIENCE BUT THEY CAN'T HIDE IT!  All they can do is smile for the camera, try their best to look presidential and say the right things when the dunderheads are paying attention. 

So, unless another candidate jumps in (hello Al Gore, the Tennessee Two by Four), Edwards will win the nomination by default. Why, you may ask?  Edwards, as a one term senator from NC who couldn't win re-election, is just as unprepared to serve as commander-in-chief as the other two idiots but there is one critical difference.  EDWARDS IS SLICK ENOUGH TO HIDE IT!!  From the first moment I laid eyes on John Edwards in 2003, he scared the living "dog-squeeze" out of me for one singular reason:  he reminded me of Bill Clinton to a tee!  The guy has the skills to deceive and with the right team of "spin-meisters", he can woo the dunderheads right out from under Hillary and Osama Obama's political tent.  Perhaps you doubt my logic here, well let me ask you a question.  While working as a trial lawyer, how did Edwards win one multi-million dollar settlement after another with apparent ease?  The answer is that he was able to persuade jurors who are only marginally smarter than Democrat voters.  If he was able to pull it off so many times in the past, what's to stop him from pulling it off one more time?

Ever wonder what Fox News' village idiot, Alan Colmes does with his spare time?  Well the devout leftist, known here as the "Space Alien" has issued a list of his top ten favorite leisure activities:

1) remove the lint from his belly button
2) brasso his sizable "coke bottle thick" geekers
3) place ads on Craigslist, for what he can't say
4) google the search term "evil white rich people destroying America"
5) find out where the 9/11 aircraft are being hidden
6) call Bill Clinton's office to leave messages of praise
7) plan next day's itinerary for radio show on 5 whole stations
8) practice using revisionist history of Clinton era on his wife
9) catch a nice, long nap while hugging his Fidel Castro doll
10) drive up to Foxwoods Casino to lose his shirt and bikini underwear

As you can probably tell, Colmes is quite the party animal!
