that's from Paul Shanklin, you can hear some of his parody songs on the Rush Limbaugh show, some other ones are Barack the magic Negro, and there are others, like Banking Queen (that plays on the ABBA song) and it makes fun of Blarney Fwank, lol lol banking queen often gets stuck in my head, lol you can find them all on here, hope that helps,
Devaluing the $ and wrecking our economy are part of the plan to make the USA a more "fair" nation, equal to the average nation.
This means our life expectancy, quality of life, income, GDP, buying power, military power, int'l influence must all be ruined.
The next shit-storm to come around the corner will be the Dollar's removal as the currency of choice in int'l markets. It's value will the fall even further because it won't be used as a commodity in itself.
Global Whining is the first thrust in the battle to share our wealth with non-producing countries. The Dollar has been collapsing since LBJ, who also pillaged Social Security. Nixon managed quite a few years of balanced budgets, Reagan tried, but Tip O'Neill and the Dems would have none of it. Bush II was the worst until PezBO. Just keep printing worthless money and using it to pay for useless social tinkering.
A couple of years ago (not very long) there were small towns & businesses issuing their own paper money. I wonder what ever happened to that movement.
Pretty professional. Excellent lyrics that make sense, unlike some songs that awkwardly fit words here and there. Timely message. Clear voice without static and wavering. Ever think of quitting your day job?
Waaal, not meanin' this in a disparaging manner, but from what I hear tell, Congress and the White House might be in need of a few good country boys with some basic skills. Seems they up an' got the place plumb full of horse shit and haven't got a clue what to do about it. Might could be a right good opportunity for an enterprisin' feller to head to that neck of the woods with a backhoe and dump truck. Shouldn't be too hard to find a place dump manure - Ted Kennedy's grave quickly comes to mind.
The onlyest problem you're a gonna have is that them folks up yonder got theyselves a reputation for slow payin'. (They be right good at collectin' in a hurry). But they's a rumor circulatin' round about that they's gonna be printin' up some right pretty new promissary notes.
You better get a hold o' yoreself! Ask a dadgum environmentalist ta come up with animal pelts? Lord have mercy, I'd rather face a cross badger. Ain't gonna see no gunpowder nuther. PrezBO knows he cant get the guns, so he's a fixin' on stoppin' the sale o' ammo an' reloadin' supplies. Firewater? Not a chance. They need all they got for the get out the vote deal in the ghettos in the next election. Balance is a gonna go to New Orleans for re-vitalization.
Not sure about all that. The manure bein' produced by Nazi Pelosi, Dingy Harry, Slobberin' Barney and PrezBO would be properly categorized as hazardous waste. An' the word goin' round hereabouts is that even the fungus won't grow on Teddy's grave.
Thet ain't a gonna work. Ya see, they got theyselves an eternal flame at the tomb of the unknown soldier. Now they up an' got it planned for a new attraction - the Eternal Stench.
I reckon Robert E. Lee is having the last laugh about now. He ain't gotta be layin' anywhere near the ol' whoremaster.
Hell no... Lee is in a beautifull resting place in Lexington Va. Quite a ways away, not far from Jackson either. Right in the heart of the Shenandohas. Man is it gorgious up that way too! By present day standards Lee definately traded up.
4GooMan: I recall being in Atlanta years back and seeing a bumper sticker I am sure you would appreciate, I like Georgia Bumper stickers, seen a few good ones from there ha ha:
1. "General Sherman, where are you now when Atlanta needs you most?"
2. "Life's a bitch, so is Hillary Clinton"
Two good stickers I could account to fine Georgians ha ha!!!
Dadgum, ya reckon that cannon can reach Cleveland? Seems they was some election irregularities there last year. Sounds like ya got the right an' proper way to count all them phoney ballots.
I allus been a Chevy man, but now that the govamint and the union up an' decided to play commie, I won't never look at one again. Hell, it's more patriotic to buy a Nissan made here than somethin' from UAW/Government Motors.
My first field car was a 51 Chevy. In 1965 a 55 Chevy was my first road car. I've had several 57s, a cupla 56s, a 58 ragtop, coupla 60s and a few late models. I've raced the dirt, coupla trips to the asphalt circle burn, the drags and lotsa street racing. Never had a problem shuttin' down Fords until they came out with the Mustang. Damned things didn't have a frame back in the day, though. To hell with GM nowadays. I worked in that UAW union for about a year. Loafers. Greedy.
I lived in Tacoma for a bit. Worked in Bellevue and had friends in Yelm, Tumwater and Union. Those Wash. State cops were no nonsense-you had some balls. Cops were just getting radios in the 60s and didn't know how to use 'em. But other than the 39-40 Fords, suspensions were a joke until the mid - late 60's. Racing costs money, and it's hard to win unless ya cheat. You were lucky to have factory built stuff- we had to buld our own. But the gas was better - 13 1/2-1 compression ratios were common
If'n ya got 5 fallow acres, get some buddies together for demolition derbies. They are a blast. And it doesn't cost much either. Scrap 'em out when you're done. Just don't plan on runnin' a tractor through there anytime soon afterwards. And forget plantin' anything or harvesting wheat. But what the hell, it sure is fun. More of a thinkin' man's game than you'd expect, though.
Define the boundaries and plow up a deep ditch to keep the boys in play. We called it the Alligator pit. Rule: everybody carries a working fire extiguisher or they don't play. If you ever get to the point of having paying spectators, fence the stans so flying debris don't get 'em. That shouldn't be too big a deal with the slow speeds, but lotsa lawsuit crazy fools nowadays.
4GooMan: If he didn't break away from the Feds the last time even though he considered himself a Southerner before the war, I am not so sure he would now. But there were Yankees who served in the Confederate Army as well as Southerners in the Union Army. Pemberton, CSA commander at Vicksburg was from Pennsylvania, not much of a commander though. Thomas, USA was from Virginia and saved the Yanks from annialation and was known as "the Rock of Chickamauga" for it. But Sherman wouldn't like Obama ha
I betcha if he were here now, the Old Lamplighter would be doin' a whirlwind tour of all the LibTards in Congress. We'd probably be calling it the Incineration Tour. Crusty old bastard had no use for bullshit. Porbably could have been President, but he had no use for politicians. Wasn't aware an Ohio boy like him considered himself Southern. But you can bet your best mule that he wouldn't cotton to these looters and destroyers of our country. Burn 'em out, he would.
4GooMan: Sherman lived in New Orleans and was the Head Master of the Louisiana Military Academy in the years leading up to the war. He supported the South on almost all things political but would not support secession, devoted to the Union and his Ohio roots I suppose. He made a comment in a letter to the gov. of SC upon what would happen if a war was to break out that was proven to be ashonishingly accurate to what happened during the war. Explained what would happen almost to a T.
Sherman had no use for politics and some tried to actually pit him against Grant politically in some ways after the war due to some personal issues between the men. Sherman refused. He always believed and once said that "the soldier belongs on the battlefield, not in the state house. The statesman belongs in the state house and not on the battlefield". That was considered a shot at Grant as president but he would not oppose him.
He realized his calling. Lincoln might never have used the polically incorrect old SOB if the other candy asses could have accomplished anything. Washington and Ike proved that a successful transition is possible. Grant was an on and off drunk. Sherman helped get him back on the wagon a time or two.
4GooMan: I have always had a respect for Sherman but I had never had much in the way of respect for Useless Grant. He led his own men into blood baths and got them slaughtered whole sale because he was either to dumb or to lazy to utilize intelligent strategies. My guess has always been he felt that bullets were worth more to the Confederacy than men were worth to the Union and it was a fair trade in his eyes. Lee, as a commander was at his best (I believe) against Grant but had his hands tied.
He had an excellent strategy. Keep bringing in european immigrants and put uniforms on 'em and a gun in their hands. Eventually the South would run out of everything and the immigrants that survived could be sent to homestead the west. It worked.
4GooMan: that was Lincoln's deal not Grant's. Or at least someone in the civilian government. Much like Lee, Grant started out the war as some what of a "nobody" and made a name for himself at Ft. Donaldson on the Tenn./Ky. border early on. Lee was a fortification inspector/ developer in Virginia and along the coast, then was sent to W. Va. when it was already lost as an "advisor". He got blamed for loosing W. Va. by many as well. Lee was on "standby" when Johnston got wounded, rest is history.
Lee had much less of an obscure background than that. He had a command in the Mexican War 1848. Trouble was, by 1861 he was getting pretty old and not many figured there was any gas left in the tank. He showed 'em, though.
Many of the higher ranking officers and government officials within the Confederacy as well as media considered Lee to be a pretty boy who wouldn't wanna get mud on his boots in a "real war" till the 7 Days campaign when he took over for Johnston. His first orders when he took over were to dig trenches. All soldiers hate digging trenches. The men were calling him "Granny Lee" & "the King of Spades". About two weeks later they loved him though. Would follow him to the gates of hell if Lee asked.
Shucks boy, thet don't make me no never mind. I grew up in the sticks north of Buffalo, moved to So. Cal. in the 60s and then to Orygun and spent a few moons in Washington, Idaho, New Mexico. An' now lookee here, I'm a Georgia boy. I kinda sorta like it here, but I ain't livin' in the past. Too much impotant stuff goin' on now.
Shit, I would love to see Sherman on Fox News or Larry King Live or MSNBC
Sherman: "I hate newspapermen. They come into camp and pick up their camp rumors and print them as facts. I regard them as spies, which, in truth, they are. "
Sherman: "If I had my choice I would kill every reporter in the world, but I am sure we would be getting reports from Hell before breakfast."
I would love to see W.T. Sherman vs. Keith Olberman ha ha ha!!!
You look in that old boy's eyes and you know he could stare down any of these pansy ass fairys on TV nowadays. And I bet he'd know how to deal with the muzzies in Afghanistan. Betcha he wouldn't let no reporters nor cameras to witness it either.
4GooMan: I am sure it would go somthing like this, Olberman would get into some PC rant about Liberal/Socialism (somthing I have no doubt Sherman would loath maybe even as much as I do) and then Sherman would pull out his sabor and split that sum bitch in two ha ha! Sherman would have, if left alone to do HIS THING had the Viet Cong & NVA crying like little school girls in a matter of weeks, maybe months. Taliban/Alqada in Afghanistan? Ha Ha!! They take advantage of the fact we play nice.
If old William Tecumseh could come back and have access to flamethrowers and napalm, you KNOW he would set records anew. Fried muzzie. That's how ya do it!
If were gonna bring back old heros to join modern fights from the grave, I gotta go with Lee, then Jackson, then Forrest, then Cleburn, then Hardee, then Sherman, then Stewart, then Longstreet. Hell, let's go back to the Rev war: Give us Washington, Nathanial Green (doesn't get near enough credit), Francis Marion, Davidson, Mad Anthony Wayne (I would love to put him in charge of taking out the UN HQ in NYC ha ha), Sumpter, Light Horse Harry Lee and all of Roger's Rangers old boys of the Rev.
That's a right good bunch. Dadgum, Forrest and Sherman on the flanks and ol' Stonewall up the middle. But ya gotta have Gen. Patton in there someplace. Let him go first-he was so good at overextending himself, ya'd hate to waste him in reserve. I'd let Admiral Nimitz take care of the UN building. It's pretty close to water. And them Navy boys sure packed some almighty big guns.
4GooMan: Yeah I like Nimitz, another guy that don't get enough press now adays. "Who woulda tunkit", a flatlands boy from Kansas (I believe) would become such a fine Naval Officer. The man never even saw an ocean till he went to Annapolis ha ha. As a North Carolinian, I would like to see the USSNC, (one of Nimitz's favorite toys) recommissioned. Let me please man the gun on the UN ha ha! I would have to beg for that one as a North Carolinian. I'd turn the UN into a fine powder with those 16s ha!

I would love to see W.T. Sherman vs. Keith Olberman ha ha ha!!!

You look in that old boy's eyes and you know he could stare down any of these pansy ass fairys on TV nowadays. And I bet he'd know how to deal with the muzzies in Afghanistan. Betcha he wouldn't let no reporters nor cameras to witness it either.

4GooMan: I am sure it would go somthing like this, Olberman would get into some PC rant about Liberal/Socialism (somthing I have no doubt Sherman would loath maybe even as much as I do) and then Sherman would pull out his sabor and split that sum bitch in two ha ha! Sherman would have, if left alone to do HIS THING had the Viet Cong & NVA crying like little school girls in a matter of weeks, maybe months. Taliban/Alqada in Afghanistan? Ha Ha!! They take advantage of the fact we play nice.

If were gonna bring back old heros to join modern fights from the grave, I gotta go with Lee, then Jackson, then Forrest, then Cleburn, then Hardee, then Sherman, then Stewart, then Longstreet. Hell, let's go back to the Rev war: Give us Washington, Nathanial Green (doesn't get near enough credit), Francis Marion, Davidson, Mad Anthony Wayne (I would love to put him in charge of taking out the UN HQ in NYC ha ha), Sumpter, Light Horse Harry Lee and all of Roger's Rangers old boys of the Rev.

That's a right good bunch. Dadgum, Forrest and Sherman on the flanks and ol' Stonewall up the middle. But ya gotta have Gen. Patton in there someplace. Let him go first-he was so good at overextending himself, ya'd hate to waste him in reserve. I'd let Admiral Nimitz take care of the UN building. It's pretty close to water. And them Navy boys sure packed some almighty big guns.

4GooMan: Yeah I like Nimitz, another guy that don't get enough press now adays. "Who woulda tunkit", a flatlands boy from Kansas (I believe) would become such a fine Naval Officer. The man never even saw an ocean till he went to Annapolis ha ha. As a North Carolinian, I would like to see the USSNC, (one of Nimitz's favorite toys) recommissioned. Let me please man the gun on the UN ha ha! I would have to beg for that one as a North Carolinian. I'd turn the UN into a fine powder with those 16s ha!
