Genesis 3:19

My Friends and Fellow Neville Brothers:

BEFORE….we enter today’s FISH, I just wish to point out one thing which may or may not have to do with anything.  Y’day was the fortieth anniversary of Roe v. Wade. Some fifty-five million baby deaths have not softened the hearts of the Libs.  I know that not all of you agree with my Pro-Life stance, that is up to you.  You will have to defend that at some time.  We can say that not every president was Pro-Life. But everyone but this one has made some kind of, if not supportive at least not insulting, comment on this anniversary.  In fact every year there is a March on Washington.  No, really there is. The SRM rarely if ever mentions it.  Most presidents have made a public comment marking the day, almost without fail complimentary on the event.  Not y’day, not Biff.  A’Hat-One made another insulting attack on those who hold life sacred by repeating his mantra about “women’s health” and the choice of what they can do with their bodies.  I do not want to go off on a tangent but his insults are compounded by his everestal ignorance.   You see, the “mother” of the modern day infanticide, on Margaret Sanger, was a racist and saw abortion as a method to effectuate genocide on the black population.  Just sayin’.)

I try to love my enemies. I do.  If someone has a problem with me, in virtually every situation I am willing to sit down and try to work things out.  It may or may not work out well but I will be fair and give it a shot.

Now, when you are messing with my family or my Country, well, as old Merle said “When you are running down my Country (or family) you are walking on the fighting side of me.”

I have no tolerance for hate, I have no tolerance for stupidity and I l have less than zero tolerance for someone who is in possession of both.

Such a person is Governor Facia Bruta, Jr.  AKA Andrew Cuomo.

He is low. Low. Way low.  Lower than whale dung low.

But I will get back to him as we go along.

People have asked me: “How in the world did the idjits in New Detroit City vote in a Commie like Billy Boy?”

Well, he got elected the same way the fools in New York voted for Facia Bruta and he was elected by the same entitlement class who voted in Biff and so on and so forth.

The difference is that when Jimmah Q’artah was elected, people had no idea what a despicable, hateful, anti-American, anti-Semite he was.

You see, there was no internet back then.  He looked and seemed squeaky clean.  In fact I know a lot of people who not only voted for him but did fundraisers for him and knew him.  THAT is the kind of sneaky poppa oscar sierra he is.

But, without Q’artah, there would be no Reagan.  Without Reagan there would be no Bush Sr., who begat not just Geo W., but B.J. Clinton, well, politically.

Politics left to their own designs, like water, will seek its own level. It took an absolute tool of the Left to allow the Savior of the Right to be elected.

After the polemics of the Right and Left came B.J. Clinton.  Sure, he is a poppa oscar sierra as well, but, give him some credit, he is not as bad as his beard.

The carny barker that B.J. is, after not guessing our weight, tried time and time again to get us to move further to the Left than was Q’artah. (1992, recall, he wanted to put medical care under Hillaroo.. sound familiar?)  But, Slick Willie was too slick and despite putting a stain on the presidency he never was accused during his terms of being the anti-American One Worlder that he really is.

While people could not put their finger (or “fanger”) on it, they knew that were wary of Geo W. but al-G’ore was just not likable, trusty or honest enough to get the nod.

W. acquitted himself fairly well enough that when that smarmy serial-wealthy-wife-marrier, John “Why the Long Face” Kerry ran and won the nineteen liberal states, he fell far shorter than al-Gore.

But in his last two years, W. went off the reservation.  “Clean and articulate” Biff appears on the horizon and he is a “‘-ther” (that is half of a “bro-ther”.)  All the Libs and all the blacks voted for him.  So did the Bush haters, who got that way via the SRM.  The fact that Karl Rove stood the RINO John McRINO to run was tantamount to a clean sweep as he was decimated by his, er, opponent.

By 2012, the fix was in and even though Romney was head and shoulders better than that a’hat RINO McRINO, the fix was in.  the SRM wanted Biff, the members of the Club knew they had a self-absorbed narcissistic megalomaniac who was willing to take in the neck so that he looked cool and take multimillion dollar vacations on backs of We the Sheeple.

But while the bloom is off the rose with Biff, to the point that he is now calling those, which is most now, who do not approve of him “racist.”  “Your Honor, I wish to enter as evidence why we should bring back the ‘N’ word without any social or political stigma. The half-brotha earned it.”)

(Told you I was going to angravate some of you.  Stick around….)

Yes, indeed. All of a sudden, Biff, who was acting like “Il Duce” with his weak jaw jutting out all of a sudden has a case of “po po pitiful me” claiming that We the People do not like him because he is “black.”

Yes!  As my friend Chip calls him, this “Halfrican” unable to defend his actions or lack of such, his inability to be honest has become so patently obvious that the SRM is staring to have to call him on it and lack of anything concrete that he has done positively has resulted in his approval ratings in the sub-40% zone.

And real man might become somewhat circumspect and say “gee, I have screwed up!” or “I am going to have to come clean on Benghazi/NSA/IRS/ Fast and Furious and the rest of the sins, high crimes and misdemeanors!”

No, not Biff.

He huddles with $harpton, Jack$on and St. Oprah and decide the only logical reason why Biff’s approval rating is because he is black. Of course, they are assuming that no one is going to figger out that some, quite a few possibly, of those who do not approve of him are, gasp, black as well.  (Just ignore that fact, move along.)

Why I am even mentioning Biff is purely for background.

What he is is the first “president” who was elected about whom we knew next to nothing.  For some reason, the SRM that looked under every rock and into every cranny to find that Romney may have said something untoward when he was in high-school or that W got a DWI twenty-odd years ahead of his election, could not be bothered to find out if Biff was even born in the US (and, again, I am not a birther), or anything about his mother posing for porn pictures, or that his parents and maternal grandparents were communists, or his lack of school records, or his admitted drug use, or, or, or.

Odd, no?

Not when you consider that the likes of David Rockefeller picked this post turtle for the gig.

But, that is not the whole story.

Just like the first socialist president, Wilson, was the nominal president with the day to day business controlled by “Colonel” House who was on the payroll of and took orders from the House of Morgan, so, too, is Biff little more than a figure head.

OK, OK, OK, I need to wrap this up and I have not even gotten to my point. (And neither the first or last time that has happened.) But this is all needed for setting the table.

I will leave it right here and pick up on this next week.

Hope to see you then!  Stay warm!!!!

Genesis 3:19

My Friends and Fellow Neville Brothers:

FIRST: A Brigid Update! I spoke with Ben, her hubby, the other day. She is still in very bad shape. But there is much good news!  Her internal organs have miraculously began to work properly, kidneys, liver, etc.  The whole in her lung has healed.  Her memory is largely intact but her speech is slow and deliberate.  While it is too soon to tell the initial postulations of multiple amputations, while not inconceivable, are becoming less likely and some may be expected.  But I am sure I speak for Brigid, Ben and the kids as I thank you for all of your prayers.  I do not believe she could be as improved as she is (yes, it is relative) without them. PLEASE keep praying for Brigid and her family!  Many of you sent a line or more expressing your prayers, good thoughts and the like.  I sent a few emails to Ben with those kind words.  He asked me to tell you that you have no idea how uplifting it is to hear such positive words from strangers.  Heck, we are not strangers, we are just friends who have not met yet.  Keep up the good work, kids!

“Give them an inch and they want a yard.  Give them a yard and they want an in-ground pool put in it.’

Am I right or am I right?

If you look at the history of the Left in our Country, (which, BTW, goes back to our earliest days as a nation but picked up speed with T. Roosevelt) they are ruthless.

Sure, they talk a good game.  They point out all the good they “want” to do.  (And remember “want” is the same as “do” or “did” in the Lefty Lexicon.)

What happens is that they make a case, something which is kinda hard with which to have a problem at first.  They will cajole you, prove that they are being altruistic and beg, plead for your approval.

The swear kittens are good pets.  (Stay with me on this.)  They are cute and cuddly and no problem at all.  They are great companions and everyone should get one.

The Left will stay on this tack, they will make all kinds of feline-friendly pronouncements. “Look, we LOVE you, we want YOU to be happy!  Kittens will make you HAP-HAP-HAPPY!”

Next thing you know, the Left have created the “Fabulous Furry Friend Bill of 2014.”  What could go wrong?  After all, it is going to be great as all people love cats they say.

Those of us who are not cat fanciers shut our mouths, for fear of being labeled a “feline-fobe.”  And, since it is a no-big-deal bill, like voting on the state yo-yo for Montana, it passes with huge majorities in both houses.

A few days later there is a knock on your door.  There is a nice young man in BDU’s, Kevlar and a huge cage.  What is this, you ask yourself?  But before you can answer yourself, the chap says “Smith, where is your Corgi?”  You say that she is in the back yard and before you realize what has happened, your dog is taken from you.

The next day, a cat is delivered to you.

The day after the bills for putting down “Elizabeth I” and for your new, untrained, unhousebroken cat.

You call and complain to no avail.  You are advised that the “Fabulous Furry Friend Bill of 2014” was more than just an introduction and support to cat husbandry.  It banned all other pets. Dogs, gerbils, fish, birds, komodo dragons and all other animals that fly, walk, swim or slither are all outlawed.

“I loved Muffy! I had her since she was a little pup!”

Too bad.

“Rex is my hunting dog!  I need him!”

Rex is history and soon too will be hunting.

And we ALL know, no one loves dogs more than me, so you know that was hard to write.  But before you say it could not happen, even though that is kinda sorta how we had OBAMA’S OBAMACARE shoved up our, um, down our, … well, somewhere.  But that is not the analogy.  OBAMA’S OBAMACARE will be found to be a criminal activity.

No, you see, what happens is that the Left will ask all “please and nicey” for something.  It is usually something that canNOT be legislated out of the gate, there has to be some framework first.

They will swear, it is no big deal and it will not affect you in the least!  In fact it is such not a big deal you won’t even know it exists!

Then the Lib will make you feel bad about not supporting this “no big deal” that you won’t even know will be existing.  Of course, you will be called a “bigot”, some kind of “–phobe”, needless to say a “racist” and the expected “hater.”

Finally, like a weak parent giving in to the screaming of one’s children (and creating yet MORE Liberals) you finally acquiesce and the next thing you know, they are coming for “Muffy.”

You see, the Left’s SOP is to make nothing out of something, plead till they get their way calling good people evil, intransigent, haters and so on. Then they play the pelosi card “tolerance.”

For some reason, “tolerance” is one of those strange words that have mystical and magical powers.  But, like Biff, if is a chimera.  It is just a word.  But spoken by a Lib, it is like being accused of using the “N” word.  (I will get back to that one day.)

“My friends, I must say, as much as I admire Precious, he is not a friend of ours, he is not a tolerant person!  Imagine, such a man who thinks that just because a few fellows like to put on a bathrobe and grill steaks that they should not be allowed  to be married!  Really!  In this day and enlightened age, can’t we be more tolerant!!!”

Guilty. I s’pose.

I hate to bring this up, but I told you.  What I am referring to is Lawrence v. Texas in this case.

You see, in this case a few fellows were, as much as I want to be snide and gross, I refrain out of respect for you, bottom line (no pun) was two fellows were having gay sex and their house was busted by the police.  But it was the wrong house.

Had that house not been invaded accidentally things might be different today.  But the invadees who had their privacy violated sued not just for the invasion but for privacy.

And of course, the lawyers caviled that the gays did nothing wrong, they hurt no one, they just wanted some privacy.  And really, pinky swear, if you find in their favor saying that adults can do whatever consenting adults want to do, we will keep it in our pocket, out of sight and behind closed doors.  There will be no debauchery, no naked people in the streets, no live sex acts in front of kids, we will be just like church mice!

The stupid court found in their favor and to everyone’s surprise (but mine and yours) the very next day in Greenwich Village, San Francisco and other gay centric areas there were debauchery, naked people in the streets, live sex acts in front of kids and everything they promised would not happen.

What happened after that?

Rights!

They wanted the same rights as everyone else.  They did not want special rights.  But they ALREADY had the same rights as everyone else, what  they wanted was special rights.  And I could go on but I need not.

But our problems manifested as what EVERYONE on the  Right did was to emulate the Left.

After all, how many times have I said that the Left does not think things through?  How many?  A zillion!

And now, because the Right are weak and feckless, they are letting the Left get away with everything they want.

We let them get what they wanted under the guise of “tolerance” and “fairness.” We want to be nice and to get along.

But as soon as they get what they wanted there is ZERO chance of them being tolerant and fair to us.  In fact they will make fun of us and tell us we are stupid for giving them what they wanted.

And then they will ask for something else ridiculous and like the Neville Brothers we are (Chamberlain, in this case) we bend over and give them whatever they want.

But if we give them a loaf of bread and ask for a crumb, you KNOW they will let us starve.

Enough for now, that is the table set.

It is going to get rough from here on in.  I expect many of you to part ways with the FISH over the next few weeks.  We shall see what you are really made of.

Genesis 3:19

My Friends and Fellow Waiting Room Chums:

I try to be a good person. I am not always successful.   As I have said, I pray every day that my words would reflect His Word.  And, sometimes they are because I listen to Him and sometimes they are not, because either I do not listen to Him or I think I know better. In those cases when my point (my point, not God’s) is swung at (swang?  swanged?) at and missed, I am lead back to the Lord’s Prayer with “Thy will be done…” and it all makes sense.

I think today’s might be a good one.  When they come easy and all but write themselves, I sense the inflatus.  Then I want to add something or say something that I know God would not say.  Oh, well. Lessee what happens.

Just in case you still have any liberal friends out there or who think that Biff is a swell guy and a regular George Washington and Abe Lincoln rolled up into one you need to ask them about that which I am about to share.

Like virtually all of you, my health care program has changed.   I had a very good plan that covered everything I ever needed.  I never had a test or procedure denied and I had no ethical issues with them.  My primary doctors are great guys and personal friends and they seemed to have been operating a thriving practice.

A few months ago we were advised that our plan was changing.  There were a few options offered.  I assure you none were as good as what we had. 

There were myriad “options” and “health savings plans” to cover the immense deductibles.  There is a lifestyle survey and a little thing called a “health provider screening form“ which will provide for a few ducats to be put into your health savings plan.

We went back and forth and weighted the cons and the other cons of the plans.  We settled on one that could prolly wind up costing us up to $11,000 more per year.  Less if we saw no doctors or had the common decency to die.

When Biff lied and said “If you like your plan, you can keep your plan”, I guess I had no idea that I did not like my plan.  After all, he is always right, no matter how wrong he always is and how far to the Left he is.

I have not seen a doctor for a while but I had a regular checkup scheduled for right about now.  My first foray into OBAMA’S OBAMACARE.

So, imagine my surprise when I received the above mentioned “health screening form.”  It is an innocuous looking little form with your very basic personal info (name, date of birth, address and so on) in section 1. 

(Oddly enough, in that section you are asked for your “postal code.”  Gee, here in America, we have a Zip Code but in the UK, Canadania and other places you have a “postal code.”  However in the second section, the address including the “Zip Code” for your “health provider” is asked.   Not for anything, is ANYONE proofreading this stuff? Of course not.  We are not supposed to read it at all, as you will see.)

Section 2 requests some basic medical information.  Too basic, if you ask me.  Your “health provider” is asked to enter your blood pressure, height and weight (ergo: BMI), cholesterol components and glucose.  “Relax, I’ll need some information first, just the basic facts” as related in the Pink Floyd song “Comfortably Numb.”          

Again, benign, nothing to worry about.  No red flags (other than “postal code”) and you should be well at ease to the point that you will skip over Section 3, the boilerplate, the fine print.  Again, don’t bother to read it.  After all, you do not read all that folderol on the internet when you accept the terms and conditions of a web page, now do you?  And, after all, this is from the gov’t, what could possibly be wrong or bad?

                                                What could possibly be wrong or bad indeed!

The first section advises that there may be an out of pocket charge for biometric screenings.  Ok, fair enough.

In section the second, you give your physician (what happened to my “health provider?”) permission to disclose results with your health plan, you know for “administering wellness benefits” and “incentive awards.”  And that tact is amplified upon. 

But, even that section is no big deal.  Or is it? 

If you are in sales the next section is called “the close.”  We are advised that participation is voluntary.  Whew!  That is a relief!  But, wait, there is more! “However, I understand that there may be certain wellness benefits (including incentive awards) under my health plan that I will not be eligible for as a result of not participating in this program or not providing my biometric screening results to my health plan.”

What kind of “wellness benefit” are they talking about?  Does that mean I will not get to see a doctor/health care provider/shaman? Gee!  I BETTER sign up! 

The old “fear close” or the “sense of loss close.”

I am sure this is written so that you are so concerned about not getting care that you will sign anything at that point.

(And I wonder, why would your insurance company need the “biometric screening”, after all, they have all of your other medical results and records. And excuse my insensitivity, when I see “…will not be eligible … participating in this program” for some reason, I see trains headed for Dachau, Treblinka, etc.  I know, I am prolly over-reacting.  That kind of thing could NEVER happen now! Right?)

Do so at your peril.

Following that piece of happiness is the deal-breaker in my book.

“I understand that my health information may be subject to re-disclosure by the recipient and that if the recipient is not a health plan or health care provider that information may no longer be protected by the Federal privacy regulations.”

Read it again.

And again.

One more time.

You see, today there is a thing called HIPPA.  This, among other aspects, gives you complete privacy and confidentiality about your medical status.  In fact, unless you sign off, even your spouse cannot have access to or knowledge about your health, medications or treatments.

But, IF the powers that be decide that they want to “re-disclose” anything about your health status, well, all bets are off, HIPPA goes out the window and they can put up billboards with the health status of anyone they want.  If they wished.  And they will. 

(And it is not “re-disclose” it is “broadcasting.”  “Re-disclosure infers disclosing again to the same entity.  That is NOT the case here.)

Now, just in case you are less than confident as to the intentions of the administration of this scheme, there is a little “don’t you worry about it” clause to wrap up this theft of your privacy.

“I understand that I may revoke this authorization at any time by notifying my physician in writing.  …  Unless revoked earlier, this authorization will expire one year from the date of my signature.”

See, nothing to worry about!  If you like your privacy, you can get your privacy back!  Alls ya gotta do is ask the gov’t. And ANYONE who has EVER had any dealings with ANY gov’t agency, be it for a copy of a deed, a parking ticket, a request for an easement or the like, knows how easy, seamless and quick these processes are.

Seriously, this is one of the most dangerous pieces of paper I have ever seen.  Were this to be a different time and a different set of creatchures running the shop, I might be less concerned.

But here is a Maladministration who has made a cottage industry of shredding the Constitution.  When? Where, you ask? Gee, Biff has changed or modified the terms of his own albatross of a so-called “health-skare scheme” nineteen times.

He has no respect for the Constitution.   He repeatedly ignores the separation of powers and now with this little codicil about ceding your privacy with respect to your health care, your agreement will allow them to take more of your privacy away. 

Makes little difference, they would do it anyway.

As I have been saying since before “Day One” (note: Biff does not say that anymore…), this OBAMA’S OBAMACARE has far less to do with health care than it does with subjugating the masses.

People, we are running out of time.

God Help us all.

 Genesis 3:19

My Friends and Fellow Shell Game Shills:

Yeah, so, where were we??  Oh yeah, the typical Liberal hypocrisy and their everestal inability to think things through.

Let’s look at a coupla things, New York City (soon to be called “New Detroit”), where the Libs are screwing the pooch and Louisiana, where the Liberals are being forced to come to Jesus.

Billy Boy DiBlasio is simply put, a Communist.  (I will be relentless on this guy. I will be on him like the cheap suits he wears.)  That is all.  Anything else is just piling on.  But let’s do that anyway!

Anyone with a double-digit IQ would easily be able to surmise that Commies like Billy Boy are either: 1) Stupid, 2) Ignorant, 3) Have no idea what they are doing and/or 4) Counting on the stupidity and greed of the Low & No Information Voters.

To put this in perspective he wants to raise the minimum wage to $15 per hour and at the same time welcome illegal aliens.

On the other side of the spectrum, he wants to raise the taxes on the “wealthy” to provide better education at a younger age  for kids while he claims capitalism is a failure.

Now, because the Forth Estate is up the backside of the Left for some reason, it is understandable that they lie.  No, not mis-report, not under-report. I call it what it is: Lying.

There are active lies (“I did not have sex with that woman, Monica Lewinski”) and there are passive lies (“ …“  that is if they do not speak the truth they must, then they are guilty by omission.)  The SRM have gone to more of the latter than the former.

Note, there was precious (yes? Oh, sorry) little commentary on Biff’s vacation in Hawaii.  Note, there was even less comment on Mooch-747 staying behind, er, to the rear, er, remaining in Hawaii.

Why the half-black out?

A’cause they do not want you to know what they are doing.

Sure, make grandiose pronouncements that you want to raise the “living wage” to $15.00 per hour. Heck, make it $25!  Do I hear $50?  These idjits are immune to facts.

Many years ago I heard a preacher, he is still around, by the name of Kenneth Copeland.  I am prolly one of the few Catholics who think he is spot on.  Anyway, he was talking about money.  To make a long story shortish, he said that money was relative.  (I say there is no such thing as money, but that is a different discussion.)  Getting to the point, he said that a good suit today costs $600. (This was a while ago.)  But his g’dad said in his day a good suit cost $20.  Bottom line in 1930 an ounce of gold was valued at $20, in 1980 it was $600.  Ergo, the relative price was the same.

So, to, as I prophesized, that give the minimum wage peeps $15 per hour and soon you will have $15 Big Macs.  But there is more.

Many, most, if not all, unions, have their contracts tied to the minimum wage.   For instance a diesel fitter represented by Local 69 of the International Brotherhood of Bloomer Manufacturers is guaranteed $37.54 per hour above minimum wage.  With the federal minimum wage at $7.25 (I had to look that up), then this fellow earns $44.79 per hour.  Now, if the min wage skyrockets to $15 per hour, our friend’s wage jumps to $52.54 per hour for the same job.

Needless to say this is not widely reported.  Needless to say many in the various media industries (not the “on air, er, talent” so much) are in IATSE or the Teamsters or the like the ones positively affected by such a rise in wages.  And besides, the “talent” are in a union as well.

Closed shop/closed mouths.

So, while the ghettoeers will vote for whomever they are told (PROOF?  Billy Boy = 73% of the vote with 96% of the black vote) the quiet secret is the HUGE union support this Commie received.

And, to be fair, not just the trades and the skilled but also for the less skilled, to be polite, of SEIU and AFSCME.  Both of which, in a perfect world, would be subject to the RICO statutes and their leaders to criminal prosecutions for myriad of crimes.

So, to sweeten the pot, the Dems do not just trot out a White Marxist married to a black radical lesbian feminist but, sotto voce, have him announce a support for raising the minimum wage to garner the support of the unions who will also benefit.

“But, Precious” you will say, “but he supports the illegal aliens.  They will work for peanuts.  Won’t that undercut the unions?”

Sure would, if they can get a job in one.

It is one thing to cut lawns and wash dishes, it is another thing to lay bricks, drive a K-Whopper and set up a stage.  And, sure, they will eventually get in the unions.  The unions will make a big deal of “hiring” the first illegal so they will get everyone off their backs.  (And they did and they did and the SRM “covered” it for one cycle. Now YOU find the illegal who was hired.)

Bottom line, they make lip service to the illegals and there are there for the pimping.  And when they DO not get a job, do you think they will vote for a Republican?   Not  chance!  They will be told that the Republicans hate them.

I am sure you are getting my point.

Let’s move on.

But first, this.  These are the same Commies and Marxists who claim that Capitalism is a failure.  Well, it sure is!  Except in the countries where it has been tried.  Let’s compare that to the list of  Commie states, shall we?

Cuba, North Korea, Laos and a few others.  Tell me, how is that working for the local loyal comrades?

Out of the other side of the mouth of these a’hats who are claiming that Capitalism does not work are complaining that those who make less than $50K per year have realized a roughly 9% return on their investments in the market, pensions, 401ks and so on where those earning over a half of a million dollars have more than ten-fold higher increase in return.

So, tell me.  How is a workers paradise better when the rich make more money but at the same time the Commies and Marxists want to take them to “be fair” to “chip in a little more” to …. “PAY THEIR FAIR SHARE?”

How does that work?  You stink because you earn more than the poor but when you are taxed out of existence you will be blamed for the failures of the Politburo?

Tying this together and moving to the Bayou State.

Here in NYC Marxist Billy Boy wants the “rich” to pay more to increase the education “opportunities” for the po’ babies.  According to Billy Boy it will be the poor and underprivileged (read: black) who will benefit.  Of course when the rich say thanks, but no thanks, then Billy Boy will trot out his family and call all the right Whities racists.

(And WHY is no one screaming that they do not want their kids to go Pre-K and Pre-Pre-K!   Why are the mothers not screaming that they do not want their babies taken away and brainwashed by the Commies?  And if you have a hard time grasping that WHY have YOU not read the “Communist Manifesto”, as this is a page straight out of that book!)

Ok, for sake of argument and ignoring the Communist undercurrents of this let’s look at what is going on in Louisiana. (Correct me at any time, DW.)

The link is below, but the bottom line is there is a VERE successful school voucher program in Louisiana.   The schools are non-union and enjoy a 93% satisfaction rate.  Kids are excelling in scores and graduation rates.

And Biff hates it because of the union issues.

But 90% of the recipients are “minorities.”

How do you balance union and minority concerns?

The unions support Biff and donate tons of cash to the Dems and the “minorities” are expected to vote as they are told.

Problem solved, throw the po’ kids under the bus.

From the article:  “The DOJ alleged that, because the vouchers were being used mostly by minority families, and therefore sending a high amount of minority students to alternative schools with the state vouchers, the program violated federal laws of school integration from the 1960s.”

“Indeed, Holder and Obama argue that too many poor minorities are receiving a good education by escaping failing schools.”

So, the entire idea of charter schools, scholarship schools and the rest of the educational entities which are NOT union run are anathema to Biff & Co.  They have all but closed them down in Washington DC for the crime of teaching (yes, teaching, not babysitting till they are old enough to get out of going to school) for far less than the cost for attending a “cite school.”

And what do Biff and Stedman do?  They pull the race card on their own people.

Yes, we all know about “separate but equal” and then with desegregation the town fathers built far better facilities in the black neighborhoods than the White ones with the express intent in keeping the racers separate.  Then, of course, when people got wise, they introduced bussing.

And this is EXACTLY the same thing for the EXACT wrong reason.

While it was noble and admirable to tear down the walls erected by the White Man to keep the blacks at a distance, what has happened over the past half century is that the black “leaders” like $harpton and Jack$on have been working overtime to build them right back up again.

Now, add the power and might of the gov’t and the DoJ wanting to make those walls taller and thicker, and what you have is institutional racism on a national level.

Genesis 3:19

My Friends and Fellow Brick Throwers:

Many of you got a kick out of my “Peter Principle” comment regarding JoeBama.  It was not just funny and accurate, it was also true, sadly.

Today we are going to do a quick look at the qualifications and abilities of others. 

Let’s make it a game, what say? 

OK, first up. Who is:

–

–

–

–

– Community agitator.

Any guesses?

Whoa, whoa, whoa, not all at once and, yes, you are all correct!

It is Biffus Magnus!  Having no competence of which we have been made aware, Biffus has risen to the pinnacle of maximum incompetence.                      

Now, we can do down the entire litany of the anti-saints and I do not think anyone would disagree.  So, let’s throw a ringer in there.

Who:

–          Changed his name (many years later) because his parents divorced when he was a child.

–          Actually WENT to and was graduated from NYU with a degree in “Metropolitan Studies with a concentration in the Politics of Minority Groups.”

–          Member of the Urban Fellows Program in NYC

–          Political Organizer for the Quixote Center in Maryland.

–          Worked WITH the Quixote Center in Nicaragua supporting the Sandinistas.  (Illegal!)

–          Member of the Nicaragua Solidarity Network.

–          Is, er, married to a radical Marxist feminist lesbian.  (They honeymooned in Cuba, how quaint! ALSO ILLEGAL!)

–          Is the parent of a teenaged son and daughter, the latter admitted AFTER the election that she suffers from depression (wouldn’t you?) and had substance abuse issues.

And those are just the low-lights!

As he can PROVE he actually went to school he is far more competent than Biffo, hence a subservient position.

Any guesses?

Yes, we have a winner!

Billy Boy Di Blasio!

Di Blasio was sworn in as New York’s newest mayor.

His platform was to tax the “rich” to subsidize his school programs, make homosexuality one step away from being mandatory (his, er, “wife” may have something to do with this) and basically EVERY knee jerk, anti-American and anti-God kind of idea you might ever consider is on his agenda.!

Look, as we all know, I was NEVER a fan of Midget Marxist Mayor Mike Boob-berg, but even I do not think he got a fair shake from this poppa oscar sierra.

At Billy Boy’s inauguration after B.J. Clinton swore him in, (why?  I guess because the Clinton’s and the Di Blasé-O’s are longtime friends and perhaps have a lot in “common”) Midget Mike sits on the dais with the Clinton’s and a cornucopia of commies from all sorts and dregs of New York.

(SIDEBAR:  Ever play that “slap” game?  You know the one, where you put your palms face up and someone puts theirs on top of yours and you have to flip your hands and hit the others hands? You make small motions, as it to draw them offsides for if you pull your hands away, you get whacked.  So, there is a certain amount of trepidation there.  When most people put their hand on the Bible, even if they know they are lying, like Biff, they pretend to be big boys and slap their mitts right on the Good Book.  Not Billy Boy!  He put his finger tips on FDR’s Bible and he was shaking as if he was going to get slapped.  Struck by lightning would have been more appropriate.  And, BTW, when the festivities were over, this bunch of amoral a’hats LEFT the Bible on a chair and, as reported, it was not the easiest thing to return.)

But after a few rounds of talks, including one by some “Reverend” who referred to the “New York Plantation” under Boob-berg and a few dozen (no lie) equally asinine remarks by racist a’hats Billy Boy got up, said a (very) few kind-ish remarks.  All the while, Boob-Berg is sitting there they were showing pictures of him in flagrante delicto with a ruminant.

And, I so hate to bring this up, every person who made an unkind and/or racist remark against Boob-Berg were not only black but the first ones to toss the race card any time any of them get their racist noses in a tizzy.   (In case you do not know, Billy Boy is White and his lesbian radical Marxist wife is black.  Their kids favor the mom.)

(And if any of those racists read this [HAHAHAHAHAHA] they would call ME a racist for exposing their racism.)

If you think this is a hit piece on Billy Boy, you would be accurate except EVERYTHING I said is not only true but verifiable.  (Hence no future in politics for Precious.)

What is the first thing he does?

He, HE ALONE, decides that the horse and carriages which have graced the streets in and around Central Park for ages MUST GO!

HE says the treatment of the horses is inhumane.  Without beating a live horse, they are horses, not humans.  Of course it is inhumane.  But is it cruel?  So far no proof that it is.

But typical of the Left, Billy Boy has not gone to the next step.  What will happen to the horses?  Gee, will they go to the happy farm upstate?  Not a chance!  If you canNOT pull your own weight (or a carriage) it is the glue factory for them.

So, tell me, who is inhumane? (Or inequine.)

(Yes, Billy Boy thinks the rubes will equally dig driving around in a replica of old time electric cars.  Yeah, sign me up…..)

In the interim between his campaign and election to office and his installation, his daughter, she of the continual head side shake when she speaks (the one with flowers in her hair, like she is going to San Francisco) admitted she was depressed and had substance abuse issues.

I raise that twice because he was quick to pimp his family but not so much do express the dysfunction of same.

Almost immediately after his inauguration there was a big snow storm in NY, as well as other places.

Billy Boy almost hit for the hypocrite cycle!

First, he was shoveling snow.  Wow! What a man. Except he was shoveling snow into the street, which is illegal in New York.  So, like his betters, first full day on the job, he is breaking the law.

Second, he was expecting his son, Dante, to come out to help with the shoveling of snow photo op.  Later on in an interview, he gave Dante an “A” for effort but “F” for punctuality.  Not for nothing, I do not blame the tardy kid but his retardy father for being a weak parent. 

Third, he was quick to take as much credit has he could for the prompt clean-up of the roads. That is when he FINALLY arrived at the next photo op.  (Apple does not stay in bed far from the tree.)  Of course, he had absolutely nothing to do with the clean-up.  After all, he had not gotten around to firing the Sanitation Commissioner or any other capable people.

Why do I pillory Billy Boy so?

Because he deserves it, he is anti-American (you CANNOT be Pro-America and a commie and I do not care what any of the Clinton’s say) and proof that people are stupid and will vote for anyone who seems willing to screw the pooch.  (We will talk about his giant ideas on minimum wage and illegal immigration in future issue.  SPOILER ALERT: he wants to raise the min wage and let the illegals in.)

And what it worse, he is just the first of a new crop of “politicians” who will run for office under insane pretenses and the Sheeple will vote for them.

AARRGGGHHHHHHHhhh…………

Genesis 3:19

My Friends and Fellow Revelers:

Hope you all had a good, safe and relaxing New Years.   All of us (me) here at “Fish Industries” wish you and yours nothing but the best for the current year.  I ask God to bless each and every one of you and yours. We will need every bit of help that we can get.

It being Saturday, it is time for another Short Stack.  Todays will be more in the way of FISHISTORY (a new word!) rather than commentary.  As you are joined by more and more people all the time, some of the slang and nicknames are not all that clear.  I will attempt to advise as to who is what and why.

(I hesitate to say “new people.”  For my literate sense of things, “new people“ are babies, and precious few of them can read. It is just the weird way I read and hear things….)

First off, why “The Daily Fish”, I am asked, after all it does not come out every day?

Well, let’s break it down to each word.

“Daily.”  For the most part, I write this during the day as my nights are consumed with other activities, meetings and the like.  A word that expresses “during the day” is “diurnal”, as opposed to “nocturnal.”   A synonym for “diurnal” is “daily.”  So, as this is not written at night but during the day, but not necessarily every day, the synonym “daily” is appropriate.

See how easy it is?

“FISH” is a tad trickier.  For many, MANY years, I have been using the term “Attila the Hun Irregulars.”  I will not claim authorship nor will I agree to cribbing.  I suggest we call the genesis of that word a case of spontaneous inflatus. 

So the initials of those folks would be “A. H. I. “, or, “Ahi” for short.  Now, the other name for the yellowfin tuna is “ahi”, and not to be confused with the dolphinfish “mahi-mahi.”

So, “ahi” is a FISH.  And those with a keen appreciation for things less than Left wing, might be more inclined to be an “AHI” then, say, a Marxist or socialist. 

Ergo, this costra nostra (Italian for “This thing of ours” and not a criminal cartel, we leave that for the elected) is written during the day for those whose politics are right of center or for those of the Left who want to know what we are thinking.  Hence: THE Daily Fish.

NICKNAMES:

Of course, all nicknames are employed with the same amount of deference they deserve.  Using the literary vehicle of farce, hence emblematic of exaggeration and extravagance, some of the names just lend themselves to their sobriquets

Obama:  He has had a number of nicknames during the years.  It started as “Hank” as during the campaign his peeps said that we were not to use his Muslim middle name of Hussein because IT was “racist.”  Yes, they actually said that, his name is racist.  Exactly how dim must one be to vote for someone whose name is racist?  This was just the beginning of the fool’s tools trying to bamboozle us and, yes, lie to us.

So, what is more of an American name that begins with an “H” than Hank?  (Sorry, Henry’s, Harry’s, Hal’s, Hubert’s and others, Hank it is.)  Then the explicable happened:  the REAL “Hank’s” did not want to share their name with him. 

Can’t say I blame you.

So, time for a name change.

Remember “Back to the Future”?  Cute little flick.  The premise is there is a car invented which can travel in time.  The admonition is that nothing from the present day can go to the past.  Well, of course that idea fails and McFly has a sports magazine with the results from all kinds of sporting events.  Biff, who is a current day buffoon (in the movie, that is), gets his paws on that book back in time.  Of course he uses that information and makes a fortune of betting on sporting events.

On one of the trips back in time you can see what was a beautiful little Midwestern town has been turned into a den of inequity with every vice, sin and corruption imaginable ruining the place.  (Think of “It’s a Wonderful Life” when George Bailey gets his wish to that he was never born.)

So, somehow, the president must have gotten his hands on a book that allowed him to come back in time (he does not have much of a history, now does he?) and leverage that information all the way to the big chair.  And looking at the havoc he has visited upon us, he has done all the fictional Biff did and more.

At one time, when someone like this got anywhere near as close to power as Biff, it was suggested that “he had pictures of his enemies with a dead girl, a live boy or a goat.”    Apparently that level of opprobrium is SOP for the Left.  (I submit Ted Kennedy, Barney Frank, etc….)

Biff is also referred to as “Biffus Magnus” when he does something imperiously imperial.  Also he is the “X”-i- C, where the “X’ could refer to anything such an M-i-C could be Marxist in Chief and so on.

His #2, Joe Biden, the dumbest man ever to serve in the Senate and then disproved the Peter Principal by exceeding his level of incompetency, is lovingly referred to as JoeBama in these pages.  He is so far up Biff’s butt, that one might think the skinny lawyer has four legs.  So, the symbiotic relationship they have created the entity as JoeBama.  (There is a rumor/joke that Biden was picked or the second seat as a life insurance policy.  While I hope that is not true, it is funny.)

Then there is that bitter ray of sunshine, Biff’s wife/beard, whatever she is.  This darling is called Mooch-747.  “Mooch”, not so much a nickname for “Michelle” but for her mooching from the public teat.  From her basically “no work” job in Chicago to her sumptuous living at the People House and on her many vacations, here is someone who lives high on the hog on our dime.

The 747 parts refers to the jet: wide body.

I assure you, more and more about this couple will be disclosed as time goes on providing he does not to all Caesar on us.

All for now, next week, God Willing, we will address the rest of the nicknames and neologisms.

It is stupid call cold here on the East Coast and if you are in any kind of chilly area I hope you are taking every precaution to stay warm.  Stay well, we NEED you!

Genesis 3:19

My Friends and Fellow Mossier Oak Wearers:

BUT FIRST… A&E Caved….  Money talks and the gays apparently do not bring that much to the table.

And… Happy Birthday a day early to #1 Son, Zane!  Love you son!

OK…This dovetails nicely with y’day’s issue and amplifies on last Saturday’s Short Stack.  I have a Liberal friend, he is not as bad as he sounds here and I have defended him on these pages before because he is a good provider, husband and very generous with his time for helping those more needy than himself.

Needless to say he posted on his Facebook page an attack on Phil Robertson.  That link is included.

Needlesslier (is that a word???) I HAD to chime in with predictable results. 

There are four people defending Robertson: Your Precious, some guy called Richard and “Phildos” brother and cousin.  (See, I told you there was hope.)  And a predicable cast of critters and creatchures taking the antipodal view.

The rest is for your edification and enjoyment.   At the VERY end, there is one more salvo that also has a definitive result.

(Unedited save for spelling and punctuation.)

Phil T:  I like the show, I like the family, but, this is NOT a “free speech” issue, he’s an entertainer, under contract AND a bigot….

“Let Me Explain Freedom of Speech to all the Phil Robertson, Duck Dynasty Supporters”

www.forwardprogressives.com

I’m sure by now most of you have heard about Phil Robertson’s anti-gay rant he went off on during an interview with GQ magazine, and the indefinite suspension by A&E that soon followed. And wow…

Bob E:  Agreed, he has the right to free speech and the station has the right to have it on their air time. He can speak all he wants in his church or on a soap box or buy time on TV.

Teri S:   true that!!

Richard D: Um, it wasn’t on TV.

Bob E: Does not matter. They don’t want a bigot working for them and that’s their right also.

Phil T: It was in the public domain…

Richard D: Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 (Title VII), which prohibits employment discrimination based on race, color, religion, sex, or national origin. SEC. 2000e-2. [Section 703]

(a) Employer practices

It shall be an unlawful employment practice for an employer –

(1) to fail or refuse to hire or to discharge any individual, or otherwise to discriminate against any individual with respect to his compensation, terms, conditions, or privileges of employment, because of such individual’s race, color, religion, sex, or national origin.

Phil T:   He has a contract with the network that has the usual behavior clauses

Teri S: That doesn’t apply… He did not get fired because of his religion, he got fired for expressing hate.

Bob E: The posting of the civil rights act is totally irrelevant to this. Thank god Americans voted out these bigots and small minded people the last two elections.

Richard D: Let me ask a serious question if he didn’t get suspended would anybody be talking about this?? Really??

Phil T:   Not the conservatives, I’m sure that all the LGBT groups would be in an uproar….

Richard D: But wouldn’t you have to read GQ to even know about this?? I’m just saying I don’t think it would be as big a deal I haven’t seen it on the news just here with clips from who knows were

Bob E: Anyway, the holidays are here regardless of what he said. Let’s all say a prayer for the starving and sick. The real issues.

Phil T: Somebody woulda read that article and reported it….

Phil T:  Ohhhh, and by the way A&E and Duck Dynasty couldn’t afford this kinda publicity!!!!

Richard D: C’mon Frasers on in the morning

JOHN S:  Phil.. .110% wrong.
Apparently you did not read the article. He said nothing of “his own opinion” that was not in the Bible. His opinions are his based on his experiences. He never said anything personal about anyone. He even said that he loves all people. So, who is the bigot? The person who loves his enemy, those different from himself and all people or the person who makes a comment not based on fact?
He is an “entertainer” I suspect, he is under contract, I am sure but not a bigot.
As far as under contract, I am sure you are aware that A&E want to break it. They do not like the Robertson’s overt Christianity in general and Phil’s in particular. So, they would not be all that unhappy to see them leave, despite being the #1 cable show.
But, when you read the article you will see the writer kinda pokes fun at himself for being less of a man than is Phil. The writer of the article did a fair, if boring and not terribly compelling, job of relating the Phi Robertson story. It was left to others to pick and chose what was written to make their insane, hateful and sexist remarks. I am talking about the people from GLADD and other gay groups.
I blame THOSE haters and THOSE BIGOTS for this BS. I am sure that both of us have said worse than did Robertson.
But to show you the transparency of the hate of these ignorant, bigoted homosexuals, the person from GLAAD wrote, paraphrasing “Robertson does not know what it is like to live a homosexual lifestyle.” Boy, that is true! But how about “The people from GLADD do not know what it is like to like a heterosexual lifestyle.” That is equally true.
The difference is that Robertson never said a bad thing about the gays or anyone else other than citing Bible. He did not pass personal judgment. But that is not true with the people from GLAAD.

JOHN S: PHIL, HERE is the complete article from GQ. PLEASE read it and do not believe just what was cherry picked by the gays and the Lib hate press. YOU read it and tell me where Robertson said anything personally offensive. http://www.gq.com/…/201401/duck-dynasty-phil-robertson

Duck Dynasty’s Phil Robertson Gives Drew Magary a Tour

www.gq.com

The stars of A&E’s Duck Dynasty, reality TV’s most popular show, drop knowledge on Drew Magary

Phil T: Sorry, John, the man is a bigot, I’ve seen some of his pulpit hate preaching. If he wants to use a 2000 yr old book that’s been edited and perverted throughout history to bend to the churches every whim then so be it, he DEFINITELY has that right. My point is that it’s not a “free speech” issue, it’s an employee/employer issue and if you don’t think he has a contract to be on a TV “reality show” (something else that’s bus., there’s a TON of scripting going on) then you’re misinformed…..

JOHN S: Phil, you are inaccurate on virtually every count. But, you are showing your bigotry by blaspheming the Bible. Your alleged mitigating speech is also off the line unless you have actually seen his contract. However, if you want to see proof of bigotry and racism I can point you to one of the Left’s Messiah’s henchboys…. http://dailycaller.com/…/obamacares-pajama-boy-was…/

Obamacare’s ‘Pajama Boy’ was accused of racism, anti-Semitism

dailycaller.com

JOHN S:  (And I know it is not a main stream publication but less biased than the “forewardprogressive”, the communist group.)

Phil T: Please, I can show you countless liberals and conservatives racially ranting, doesn’t prove or disprove anything with respect to the free speech point…..As far as blaspheming the bible?? You can’t possibly believe it word for word???

Chris T:   Soooo God was smart enough to build the Heavens and Earth and all things in them and make it all work like he intended but He’s not smart enough to build a book exactly like he wanted? I can’t go with that Cuz.

Tim W:   John… Me thinks thou doth protest too much

Tim W:   He was speaking from his perspective when he spoke about. Black people picking cotton and being happy

JOHN S: Phil. I get your point re the Bible. There are analogies and parables but the bottom line is that “Thou shalt not murder” still means just that. (Murder is the correct translation, to agree with your point.) It is not something open for interpretation. In fact it means more as it includes fighting or otherwise harming another person. The argument re Leviticus falls short as there were reasons for those laws back then. But the Decalogue hold true no matter what. You can’t tell me the 10 Commandments are open to interpretation, can you? As far as the first part of your comment, I am afraid I do not get the jib of your banter.

John T: I’m on Robertson’s side… the man was asked a question and answered it honestly and as taught in accordance to the Bible.. The thing I respect these gentlemen most about is the die hard hold on the religious beliefs they were brought up with.. It’s not as if he jumped on a TV interview to spout hatred for homos, that’s what makes it freedom of speech in my opinion.. He was asked what he was disgusted by most and he answered with what is considered an abomination punishable with a one way ticket to the faaaarrrrrrrr south

John T: All the employer needed to do was say it’s not the belief of the company and tell the gay community to boycott the show

JOHN S:  @ Tim… perhaps, but I am not in Hamlet. The problem is there are differences between voicing an opinion, protesting (doth too much or not), ranting and lying to achieve an agenda. This controversy is built on the last, we are exercising the first three. If you read the article then compare that to what is being said in the SRM, I am confident you will agree. My beef is not with the issue per se but the reporting of it. Someone PLEASE illuminate on Martin Bashir’s comments about Palin and advise me of your agreement with them?

Tim W:     You said he said nothing of his own opinion. That simple is not the case.

JOHN S: TW Read ALL of what I wrote.

Tim W:   John I started to but honestly I think you’re defending his beliefs rather than his right to an opinion.

Gin Mc: Worshiping the bible is like worshiping the golden calf, your suppose to worship God not things.

JOHN S: @ TW:”started to”? Is that like “I tried”? Just asking. And I am defending his beliefs. They are Christian beliefs. You do not have to agree with them. But that does not change the fact that if you are a believer in God you will believe His Word. Bear in mind we are all sinners, ALL of us. Robertson admits to myriad sins and he said that ALL sins are the same, sins if the flesh, thieves, idlers and the rest are all sins and sinners. That is the point. Do you disagree?

JOHN S: @Gin, I do not know who is “worshiping” the Bible. I would agree that worship of any thing, be it a book, Baal, or anything would be wrong. I did not read anywhere where Robertson said he worshiped the Bible. Kindly show me so I can stand corrected. And you are 100% correct, you’re supposed to worship God. And I think if you read the article you will see that is exactly what Robertson said.

Tim W:   No they are not “Christian” beliefs. List all the things Jesus said about homosexuals or homosexuality.

JOHN S: TW, stop. You are clearly out of your league and grasping at straws. Read the article, that sums it up. Not every sin has to be listed, all of us have sinned, Jesus died for the forgiveness of sin. And that is what Robertson said. You would know that if you read the article. (If you are not sure if homosexuality is a sin, it is covered in the 10 Commandments.)

JOHN S: Mark Twain once said: “It’s easier to fool people than to convince them that they have been fooled.”

Tim W:     Read the article, read your post, hey how bout your read the Bible? Tell me what Jesus said about homosexuals.

Tim W:     PS I read the article, it’s a whole manufactured story. A&E didn’t know what they had with this guy? We love to build them up so we can watch them fall. I’m glad though it pulls the bigots right out into the open.

JOHN S: TW, you tire me. You refuse to accept the truth. Your ignorance is everestal in scope second only to your prejudice. One last thing: 1 Corinthians 6:9-11
New International Version (NIV) “Or do you not know that wrongdoers will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: Neither the sexually immoral nor idolaters nor adulterers nor men who have sex with men, nor thieves nor the greedy nor drunkards nor slanderers nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God. And that is what some of you were. But you were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God.”

END NOTE:   I love Liberals!  They are just sooooo cute when they canNOT defend themselves!  “Gin Mc” makes an, er, uninformed comment, is gently admonished and, poof, she is gone.  Tim W. is another lost cause.  Refusing to admit that he did not read the article he sallies forth repeating his ignorance, hate and vitriol.  Well, after my last comment when I answer his question again, he starts to pick on some other poor lady who admits to something, makes a cogent argument and good old Timmy Boy surfaces and barrages her with absolutely hateful rhetoric.  The difference is with someone like Timmy is that he actually believes the crap he says and has every false Liberal argument lined up.  When you explain to someone the 600 odd laws in Leviticus are no longer applicable, they are quick to put them right back in the conversation. 

The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different outcome each time.  A Liberal makes the same trite and tired tropes and expect you to fall for them, and when you don’t, they simply repeat them.  Ergo: Liberalism is a mental disorder.  See below for the Bonus!

THE BONUS!

Geri G; I believe Phil had his right to say what he said and A&E have the right to let him go, however, that does not make him a bigot. This country was founded on diversification. Why should someone who is responding to a question in a biblical manner be considered a bigot? I have a nephew who is gay. Though I do not agree with his life choices and I am a Christian I don’t love him any less. Am I therefore a bigot? He has chosen not to talk to me because I would not attend his commitment ceremony…do I not have the right to do what is right for me just as much as he has the right to do what is right for him? I think people need to stop using buzz words such as racist and bigot… You disagree with me fine no problem …then obviously I disagree with you also but I don’t want you to change your beliefs to make me appease me. Using these buzz words all the time is kinda like the boy who cried wolf. The more we call each other names the less affect it has till no one is listening and bad things are really happening.

Tim W: Amazing we never seem to bash the drunkards as sinners or the sexually immoral which basically is everyone.

Geri G:  Are you attempting to bash me now? Ha Ha Ha. Don’t care…

Tim W: Nope go on and in a few years when you realize how much of your nephews life you missed on you can decide what name you want to call yourself. I do agree the bigot and racist name calling is thrown out there too fast but sometimes that glove fits.

Geri G: Again Ha Ha Ha..You only hear what you chose to hear. FYI… I invite my nephew in every family event I have. It is his choice whether he wants to attend or not.

Tim W: And you choose to pick the parts of the Bible makes him a sinner. I’m not going to list the other sexual acts that make someone just as much a sinner. But I’m willing to bet most of can check a lot of them off. Yet I’m pretty sure we don’t refuse to go the their weddings based on that.

Geri G: So let me get this straight. You get to call me a bigot because you disagree with my beliefs and I should change my way of thinking or feel bad because I do not agree with your beliefs. Is that what you are saying? …. I did not know tolerance was a one way street.

Tim W: Did I call you a bigot?

Tim W: I ate pork & shellfish this week and currently as we talk I am wearing at least 3 different fabrics at the same time. That’s way more sin than loving a person of the same sex.

JOHN S: Geri, do not get sucked in by Timothy. As you can see, he cannot honestly answer a question. He changes the topic, twists your words. Calls you a liar and all along he brings nothing to the discussion. There are Liberals who are good people, such as Phil. Then there are the self-hating Liberals like Timmy who have to bring you down because he can’t build himself up. You say you love your gay nephew. I am sure you have told him as much. But it is up to him to reciprocate. You are not compelled to go to anyone’s wedding or whatever, that is your choice. You sound like a nice person, stay that way, keep God and the center of your life and do not give haters a second of your time.

My Friends and Fellow Mossy Oak Wearers:

FOREWARD:  “Forward?” No, not in the sense of Commies but as a preface.  Lana, a new friend not only shares many of my views but oddly enough, even though we are not related, the same last name. (But apparently the same political DNA.)  With that said she posted this the other day and she was kind enough to permit me to share with you.  “Here are my thoughts on the Duck Dynasty uproar,…some people are outraged that Phil Robertson has gotten such a huge response of support in such a short amount of time, while the NSA, Benghazi, IRS, Obamacare Obama’s blatant abuse of power, the Iran deal, the Budget deal, the EPA abuses of power, the list goes on, have been ignored. Perhaps this is the straw the breaks the camel’s back, after having so much rammed down our throats, watching as Christ is being taken out of Christmas a little more each year, giving 3 percent of our population so much control and leverage, finally Christians have had enough. I for one have, I think it is petty, spiteful and mean-spirited and hypocritical for a group like GLAAD to pretend, yes pretend, to be offended by one Christian man’s words, words that they have twisted and plain lied about. The gay community has a voice, the atheist community has a voice, the Latino community has a voice, the black community has a voice, the pro choice people have a voice, well time for those folks to show others the same acceptance and tolerance they Demand. And I am hoping when conservatives and Christians see what they can do with small issue, maybe they will take on the big issues. And that is the last I will post on this subject…..MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!!”

I reckon you can see where this is heading….

Coincidences?  Whaddya new or somethin’?  There is no such of a thing as “coincidence” when it comes to most things.

Phil Robertson and GQ Magazine fall into that category.

But something tells me that at the end of the day Good WILL Triumph over Evil.

In case you have not heard, there is a show called “Duck Dynasty.” It is about a family in Louisiana who make duck calls.  They have become fabulously wealthy from this endeavor.  The men are all hirsute and wear cammies.  The live to hunt and fish.  The patriarch of the family, Phil Robertson, still lives in the house they had before the money came rolling in.

Other than the fact that you have these “rednecks” (meant in the nice way, not as a pejorative.) who seem to run a bidness, hunt, fish, have big cars, are very family oriented and there is prolly more references to God and the Bible in their show than on any TV station, or, all the commercial stations and cable outlets combined.  At the end of every show, the extended family is seated at the dinner table and Phil says “Bow your heads and pray for God’s Mercy” or some such phrase as he gives thanks to God as he says grace.

And, I know it is scandalous, but he actually uses the name “Jesus”. And in the good way!  (There was some controversy about Phil saying Jesus with the “nice” folks at A&E. But it was resolved. Phil says “Jesus.”)

(SIDEBAR:  Phil was also named one of Barbara Walters’ “10 Most Fascinating People of 2013” and I guess he was even more fascinating when he did not do an interview with Walters.  He was not mean or rude or making a point.  It is duck season.  He is not available for ANYTHING from November thru January.)

But, somewhere along the line he sat down with a “reporter” from “GQ Magazine.”

Here is where the alarms ought to be going off.

“GQ” or “Gentleman’s Quarterly” is a “men’s” magazine. (I hate to be catty, but it is a “men’s magazine” the same way that white zin is a “man’s drink.”  Not that a man can’t drink white zin…..)

Before I go any further, here is a link for the article.  Take about five minutes and read it.  The rest of this issue will make far more sense after you do.

http://www.gq.com/entertainment/television/201401/duck-dynasty-phil-robertson

Now, if you have any intellectual honesty and can read what the writer was actually trying to convey, it is unlikely that you would come to the same conclusion of every Liberal on the planet, particularly those in the SRM who did not read same.

To a “man” and “woman” these pillars of the 4^th Estate reported that Phil Robertson hates gays and says they are all going to Hell.

First off, he said no such thing.  In fact he said quite the opposite.  But, if you pick only the words that you want then you can invent anything you want it to say.  Second, he admits that all sin is essentially the same and that he is a sinner as well.  Last, he says he loves everyone and it is not for him to judge. 

The haters from the Left made their take on the interview along the lines of “Do you still beat your wife” kind of characterization.

For clarity, I did get the sense than this was a hatchet piece, although that was my suspicion BEFORE I read the article.  The writer, for what it is worth, seemed to have great respect for Robertson and self-deprecating at the same time.  Pretty fair on balance.

It was up to the “Man from GLAAD” and other gay organizations to make the leap from honest belief in God to homophobe and hater.

One of the stupider things said, and that is saying something, was from some unhappy representative from GLAAD.  He had the ba…, er, temerity to say, paraphrasing,: “Robertson does not know what it is like to live a homosexual lifestyle.”

I do not think that Phil would disagree.

What is missing (how many times have I said to read between the lines and the thing missing IS the point) and most poignant is something to the effect that “The writer from GLAAD does not know what it is like to live a heterosexual lifestyle.”

Same thing, right?

So, what does A&E do?

Do they tell GLAAD to back off?

Do they issue a statement supporting their star and saying his words were taken out of context and twisted?

Do they organize a press conference with the boss of their cash cow and give him the opportunity to “clarify” his remarks?

No, they suspend him.

The network that is making millions from the number one rated cable show as well as tens of millions from merchandizing, not only refuses to defend their star but they suspend him.

Now, why would they do that?

They had no idea what they were getting into when they started Duck Dynasty.  The thought it was going to be one more stupid, insipid show that the dim bulbs in flyover land watch.  Like most of the crap on cable, or network for that matter.

The show was birthed from a video Phil and his CEO son Willie concocted and figgered it would be like that alligator hunting show and short lived as well.

Ooppps…  boy did they misunderestimate Phil Robertson and grossly misunderestimate the thirst real Americans have for good, family values TV.

The clowns at A&E (owned, by the way by ABC and DISNEY) would prolly be more comfortable showing Yemeni goat porn than anything of a CHRISTian nature.

Recall, as mentioned above, that the Robertson family prays at the end of the show and the name Jesus is often invoked.  A&E hectored Phil to stop.  He stood by his faith and refused.

And the religion of tolerance, Liberalism, can tolerate anything but goodness and God.  And they hate it when someone pokes them in the eyes when they expect them to back down. So A&E have no love for the Robertsons.

At this point and before the first show aired, they did not need the money.  They do not need the fame so the two things that A&E have as weapons are useless against the bearded ones.

Now, here comes the rub.

Yes, Phil is suspended.  However, the next season is already done and in the can ready for viewing.  Will they cut out Phil?  Nope, no can do.  Will they end the series?  Possibility.  Will they show reruns?  Who knows. 

And it makes little difference.

Other stations are lining up to air Duck Dynasty.

More to come as it occurs and there m-i-g-h-t be a Saturday Short Stack on this.  And in the meantime I will not watch ANYTHING on A&E, and save for JEOPARDY! the same for ABC and Disney. As if they care.  Now.

ONE MORE THING, ok, two.

There is “Duck Dynasty” clothing as well as “Duck Commander.”  There IS a difference.  Anything which says “Duck Commander” is legit and come from the Robertson’s businesses.  If something says “Duck Dynasty” without the “Duck Commander” tag is prolly distributed by A&E.  (I s’pose they have the marketing aspect sewn up.)  So, PLEASE go to the DUCK COMMANDER website for your goods.

The other thing it was like the “12 Days of CHRISTmas” but in a truncated manner. More like the “5 Days of Duck Dynasty.”

As I opened my presents, my true loves gave to me 4 Duck Dynasty Beer cups, 3 Duck Dynasty T-shirts, 2 Duck Dynasty Glass Beer mugs, 1 Duck Dynasty hat and 1 Willie Robertson Duck Dynasty book.

Wonder how they knew I liked the show?

 Genesis 3:19

My Friends and Fellow Five Golden Rings:

‘Tis CHRISTmas Eve.

I have one FISH done and another almost finished. The regularly scheduled FISH (the one under construction) is being preempted by this one because I am caused to write it.

I could see pretty early on that the one under construction might take a not-so-festive tone and being the day before Christ’s Birth, I felt it indelicate.

It won’t be any less indelicate on Thursday or Friday when I send it out but it will not conflict with Midnight Mass on your calendar!

But maybe we should just spend a few minutes taking stock of our lives.

Some of us are doing OK, some of us not so much.  Some of us have not a care in the world and some of us are saddled with almost insurmountable problems.

And it really makes no difference in the long term.  We are here but for a short time.  Let’s make the best of it as best as we can.

I was talking to my friend, Ben, whose wife Brigid I have asked for prayers.  (And PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE keep them in your prayers.)  I am not going to go into the details but Brigid went into cardiac arrest and was dead for 15 minutes a few days ago.  There was a weird thing which happened to her and that caused the cardiac arrest.  While she was brought back, she will most likely suffer other permanent physical issues over and above the ones already impacting her organs.

I have had almost daily contact with Ben either via text or phone just to give him some support.  (I did send a rather long email to him containing your thoughts and prayers and he asked me to relay his deep appreciation and thanks.)  I gotta tell you, he is holding up far better than I would in his position.  But he always seemed strong and is facing things head on. 

He related far more but this is not the time or the place and I am trying to keep as much private as I can.  But the things which struck me were that he has accepted that his life has changed forever, that this will be his life 24/7 and that he has not lost his faith.

In fact, if anything, I sense that his faith is even stronger than before.  A weaker person would blame someone else and failing to find a physical being to cast blame upon, they would often blame God for the misery and pain.  Far too often the only time God is in the lives of people who blame Him for something is when they are blaming Him for something.

And that brings me back to the point, not that I had one when I started this thing.

Tomorrow we celebrate the Birth of Jesus.  (And I know it was not in December…)  I am not all that concerned if you are a believer or not, Christian or Jew, but you have to admit that irrespective of your beliefs of lack of them, Jesus was the most important person in history.  (Before you shoot me off a little note, consider that again in purely an historical context.)

Perhaps He is the most uniting Person who ever lived.  Some might say the most divisive.  But the fact remains that a poor Little Child born in a manger over two millennia ago still affects our lives on a daily basis.

(If you do not think that is true, look at the wars in a world, look at the rationale employed by this Maladministration.  It seems to me that Biff & Co. make every decision based on “What Would Jesus Do”, and then they do the exact opposite.  Sorry, did not want to go there today but…)

So, maybe tomorrow, we look at 25 December as not just another day, not just a Wednesday this year, but as something special.

Maybe it is not special to you and mores the pity. But it is special to someone else and we do not want to rain on anyone else’s parade, now do we.

Most of us will spend time with friends and family.  That is great. But, is there anyone you know who does not have any place to go for CHRISTmas?  Maybe you can invite them for some of your festivities. 

Maybe YOU are the difference between someone having a miserable day and having their faith in God and man renewed.  There are so many instances of murder and suicide at this time of the year, perhaps the greatest present you may receive is the knowledge that YOU made a difference in someone’s life, that YOU may have even saved their life.

I am trying to remain upbeat but you hear these horrific stories in the news and you wonder what makes someone so desperate, so filled with despair that they turn to murder and suicide.

And you wonder if someone smiled and said “Merry CHRISTmas” to someone considering a dastardly deed if it that would have made a difference.  Or, if you invited someone who lives alone to join you, if that might not change them for the better forever.

My kids and g’kids are on the other side of the Country.  Of course I will speak with them all and perhaps do Skype or Facetime and that will be fine. Not a substitute for being there but better than being without them. But I will spend time with family here and it will be nice.  We will go to Mass on CHRISTmas Eve, then off for dinner and more at an aunt’s home.  Then strada and champaign for CHRISTmas breakfast, do the gifts, them off to a cousin’s house for an early dinner.

(I will hope that Santa puts the bottles of scotch I hope that he is bringing in age order and that there is sufficient to go around.)

And I will keep you all in my prayers tomorrow and pray that you get all the things you need, be they material, spiritual, medical or whatever. And just maybe you may also get some things you think you want.

I will think of Ben and Brigid and their two small children and only imagine what kind of CHRISTmas they are having.  I will imagine that they are the only gifts they need, one another.

I will think of all those just waiting for a call or an invite to go somewhere or do something.  Maybe the person making that call will be you.  Or, maybe you are waiting for that call.  I don’t know.

I will think that some two-thousand years ago a Baby was born into this world and the world has not been the same since.  I accept Jesus as my Lord and Savior as I know many of you do.  I know He has the power to change things, to answer our prayers and to make our lives right, if only we let Him.

He is the Reason for the season and that is that.   I am not asking anyone to do anything except that which you feel in your heart.  There is something there, it is a gift for someone.  Please do not ignore it.

Your favorite curmudgeon will return with his regular bile and sarcasm soon.

Till then, no matter what you believe or not, I wish each and every one of you and your families the Merriest of all Possible CHRISTmas’s and a Blessed and Healthy New Year.

I love you all.  I mean it.

Genesis 3:19

My Friends and Fellow Nattering Nabobs:

OK, I had this thing written a few days ago. I started on another one, the expected dissertation on Phil Robertson.  But due to a case of ESTO (Equipment Superior To Operator) somehow I saved the newer effort on top of the one put to bed, rendering it gone forever.

I will do my best to re-cobble it.

It had to do with what do I do with all my spare time.  I will let you know when I get some.  But some have asked what else do I do to spread the word.

For some odd reason I am relatively obsessed with that which is going on in our Country.  I write this little thing of ours, of course, and this is an outgrowth of my incessant writing of letters to the editors of various Liberal rags.

And I have the pleasure of responding to emails, at least as best as I can. 

Then there is Facebook.

If you are not on Facebook, that is fine.   It is not for everyone and it can become a time bandit if left unchecked.  But if you are, there are a lot of good people and good articles and posts.

If you are on, by all means, feel free to “friend” me.  There is a “The Daily Fish “page as well but that is used primarily to alert to the fact there is a new issue published.  You could leave comments there, if you wish.

However one of my fave things is to have a tete-a-tete with a Liberal.  I have a few “liberal“ friends who are relatively grounded and there is an opportunity to exchange opinions. 

The downside it that they often have friends who are not as grounded or level headed and they bury you with hate and bravo sierra and the discussion quickly goes south.

Almost like what Vlad said about Biff.  He said “Dealing with Obama is like playing chess with a pigeon.  He struts all over the board knocking pieces over, (defecates) on the board and then says he wins.”

You get the point.

But I do make other posts as well.

At times they are just a howyadoin’ on something such as: “On a non-political and personal note, a very Happy 70th Birthday to one of the greatest guitarists of all time, Keith Richards.
I am sure if he thought he was going to live this long he would have taken better care of himself! At the end of the world, it will be Twinkies, McDonald’s fries, Keef and yours truly…..”

Or, I will have the TV at work on some station that is presenting some horse hockey.  This will cause me to post something, and often to that shows FB page which is quickly removed.  (They hate censorship…. For them.) 

An example would be:  “Yeah, on The View they were discussing, as a sidebar, Megyn Kelly and the person who wanted a Black Santa. The argument being that they need ‘more diversity’ in their imaginary beings.

“Just shows to go you how stupid people have become (It is CHRISTmas, will not say anything worse) and how racist people are in the past 5-6 years.

“Now, two can play at that game.

“I want MY Al $harpton to be White. Why do the blacks get a black $harpton? Where is my White $harpton?

“And why is George Washington White? I mean, he is the Father of the Country. And which country today has the most people? China. So I want George Washington to the Chinese.

“If that makes any sense to you, you are as bad off as peeps who want a black Santa.

“And for those who say Jesus was black or brown, that is fine with me. He is what He is. I do not know 100% what color He is. He prolly was not European White. Alls I know is that He died for me. And it is His Birthday we celebrate next week, not a solstice, a season or anything else. So, get over yourself and wish people a Merry CHRISTmas. After all, HE is the Reason for the Season.”

At times there will be an item on the news or an email alert from one of the news organs.  Some of those give me the opportunity to vent.  As in the announcement about the Olympics pending.

“So, the Olympics start soon. They will be held in Russia. Russia has an official state anti-gay policy.

“What does Biffus Biggus Babyus do? Does he show respect to his better, Vlad? Does he try to do the right thing and STFU for once?

“No, this petulant little child will have a gay ‘representing’ the US at the opening ceremonies. Yes, Elton John will be… what? huh? That is NOT Elton John? Are you sure? Really? Billy Jean King? Huh! (Ya know, I have never seen Elton John and Billy Jean King together, just saying.)

“And just to throw a middle digit at Vlad. there the US is showing even more disrespect by not sending an official political delegation.

“If I was ANY serious candidate for the non-Marxist Party nomination for Prez, I would make a point of going to Russia, getting as much press as possible denouncing the disrespect for Russia and using that pulpit to further expose Biff’s weaknesses and fecklessness. So, whoever is serious, Cruz, West, Paul and so on (Pete King can stay home) ought to book straight away!

“’I can’t wait to say ‘For the first time in 8 years I am PROUD of my President.’”

(On an unrelated note male figure skater Brian Boitano came out of the closet.  He announced his homosexuality by saying “I am Brian Boitano and I am a male figure skater.”  Feel free to take that out of context and we can discuss that in the Phil issue coming.)

Then there are the pearls offered up by the MorOns at MoveOn.Org.  Truly, if anyone ever wanted proof that Liberalism is a mental disease, these guys and gals provide ample evidence on an almost daily basis.

This was received the other day:

“Dear MoveOn member,

“Zero.

“That’s the total number of positive stories about the Affordable Care Act on the ABC and NBC Nightly News in the first two months of Obamacare. At the same time, they ran nearly wall-to-wall negative stories.

“Clearly, there were serious problems with the rollout that deserved attention. But zero stories about the largest expansion of health care access in decades? That’s just irresponsible journalism.”

Yes, someone wrote that, someone discussed it, perhaps edited it, approved it and sent it out.  So, the mental issues are rampant.

The Left OWN the SRM.  Virtually everything printed that has a Liberal slant is presented in a positive light, and vice verse.

When there is a clusterfluke of everestal proportions and the SRM have to admit the emperor has no clothes, my antenna go up. I retorted with:

“Ya gotta be kidding me!

“Biff creates this Frankenstein of an ersatz ‘health care bill’ and it is a clusterfluke. Unmitigated disaster from top to bottom. Of course, that may have been the intent.

“All of a sudden, because the SRM is not bowing down to the false god of a bravo sierra bill, the MorOns at MoveOn have their panties in a wad.

“While I canNOT fathom the rationale they are employing in their cavil against reality, it is more disturbing that there are people who are going to say ‘yeah, the evil media’ when they have been carrying Biffs water since before Day-1. 

“They fact that the SRM is bashing OBAMA”S OBAMACARE makes me more suspicious.

“Essentially what MorOn is saying in the last sentence is even though the Hindenberg blew up killing a lot of people, it provided heat for a few minutes…. 

“Asshats, all of them!”

You get the idea.

So, I try to make this costra nostra somewhat readable.  To that end I try to practice my writing, er, “skills” as often as I can.  And I use some of these avenues to blow off steam that otherwise might find its way into THE Fish, and when I write this when I am full of bile and Lord Knows what else, the results are not pretty.

Ok, basta, genug, enough!! Back to more pressing issues, such as the next one on Phil Robertson and there is a little surprise in that issue as well!
