Palin drone

Folks in the precincts, in real America, in neighborhoods where plain, ordinary people live out their dreams and ambitions with faith and the gumption to roll up their sleeves are not out mocking mavericks who have the courage and vision to fight for liberty, also taking some unconventional paths along the way, and who, in the wake of the economic devastation left by the reckless Democrat party and its faithful lapdog, the mainstream media, volunteered to open up a job for a fellow citizen and take time to focus on family and check progress on an inspiring book about a small town girl who embodies the purposes and principles that make America great and who is willing to stand up and lead this great nation with so many challenges ahead and perils abroad and, domestically, the deliberate Democrat efforts to undermine the traditional moral values right-thinking Americans hold dear, and only liberal elites with their effete snobbery and special interest war chests would run 30-second primary ads replaying remarks given long in the past complaining that Barack Obama had written two autobiographies without ever having once come face-to-face with the decisions and responsibilities a mayor and also partly a governor has to take seriously as the chief bulwark against the over-reaching arrogance of the legislative and also especially the unelected judicial branches.

Decide for yourself

Americans enjoy the greatest health care coverage in the world.1 Under Obamacare, you would have to wait in line to use a government-controlled doctor in Canada, killing your grandmother with deliberate neglect, incompetence, and bureaucratic mismanagement.

Common sense will tell you that if administrative costs are a mere 12 percent of private insurance and a whopping 2 percent of the costs of Medicare, the private sector will be the clear loser2 under Obamacare. Besides, where could the cost savings come from?

Obamatarians only want to control every aspect of your life and kill little Trig in the bargain.3


1. Measured by insurance company profits.
2. Precipitous reductions in yacht construction, high-end resort vacations, and private club memberships would cripple the nation in a devastating loss of jobs and worker productivity.
3. After having the whole family undergo a government tribunal and malicious examination and speculation by the mainstream media.

Kultral notes

2012 GOSPer field

For some GOSPers, Geo Wha? Bush was too intelligent, too consumed with consequential matters, and -- too frequently -- unwilling or unable to take instruction from his handlers. The 2012 dream ticket -- Sarah Palin and Joe the Plumber -- might carry the day, but with so much at stake, the cigar-chomping deal makers in the back should consider some candidates who can truly claim to be untainted by the brainwashing some call "edukashun."

File under "Hunh?"

John McCain't joins the growing Greek chorus of GOSPers complaining that Barack Obama has not fulfilled his campaign promise of banishing partisanship in Washington, D.C. The Beagle defies anyone to give an example of a single act or statement by any GOSPer alive to stop harping and throwing rocks and pissing and moaning. For the record, bipartisanship, by definition, is a two-way street. How can Obama or anyone else be bipartisan when the partisanship of GOSPers has gone beyond anything this Beagle has ever seen.

Korecshen

A former Southerner with strong credentials in the human and civil rights, religious liberty, and academic freedom fields takes issue, not with the depiction of Southern GOSPers as a passel of slackjawed cretins, but rather with the unfairness of making cracks about John Birch, whose reputation already suffers from having been shanghaied by ultraconservatives.

Birch, an American missionary and military officer was confronted while leading a team of Chinese, Korean, and Americans meeting up with other former Japanese prisoners at the end of WWII. When challenged to give up his revolver, Birch allegedly said, "You can take my gun when you pry it from my cold dead hands," to which the ChiComs responded, "Okay."

The Beagle will let readers decide for themselves about the degree of unfairness, given that Birch started a group in his senior year at Mercer to weed out professors who taught heresy, such as evolution, and that he agreed to serve with the Office of Strategic Services only if he could be allowed to proselytize on the government's nickel.
