This showed up today in my "in box". Maybe it's old news- first time for me though. Supposed to be from a column written by a "good ol farm boy from Western Oklahoma". Well, maybe its from some suit on Madison Avenue- whatever, it makes sense to me.
"What's Under My Hat" by Monte Tucker----------January 28, 2008
Howdy
friends and neighbors. Come on first Tuesday in November! I have
already had about all of the Presidential election I can stand. Surely,
somewhere out there in this great nation is a "good ol' boy or gal,"
that is worth voting for. You know, someone that has actually done
something, not just talked about what they think they have done. It's
only the first quarter in the game between the R's a nd the D's. Both
sides keep talking about time for change. Just what are they going to
change? They obviously haven't changed the game of politics. Billary
and Bama Lama Ding Dong boost the word "change" every time I see the
media put their face on my boob tube.
The first place they could start changing things would be on the Senate
floor that they're already on. Just go and look at their voting records
for the last several months and you will find they aren't showing up to
vote.You know, the job they campaigned so hard to get by promising
"change," but they just don't have the time. McCain isn't immune from
this either.
Let's talk "change." What in the world do these hot air compressors
think they are going to change and why? Again, I'm just a professional
bovine relocation specialist (it's the 21st century, we used to call
them cowboys). But the way I see it from Sunny Point , Oklahoma , how
are they going to change the greatest nation in the world? All of the
candidates are demandin g we must change! OK. I wake up a free man
every morning and I'm free to do anything that is morally right or I
can do nothing. If I choose to do something productive that day, well I
can whistle at my dog, start up my ol' tan feed truck that I bought
with the help of a free enterprising banking system I chose to use.
Plus, there's the fact that other free Americans assembled this truck,
and the companies that bought, sold and hauled parts and supplies to
make that pickup possible. As I turn the key, ol' tans fires up on
diesel fuel that a mean, nasty, big oil company conveniently made very
accessible and affordable to me. I turn out of my land that I can
freely own, onto a county maintained road that leads to any point in
North America I would choose to go to that day. Also, in this country,
I am free to own livestock and free to care for them so that the
livestock will return a profit so I can repay my bank, buy my feed and
fuel, and provide for my family. On Sunday Morning (or any other day
that ends in "Y") my family is free to drive from our house on a ribbon
of roads that lead to the Church of our choice and worship the real
owner of all things we know, God. We can give praise to Him for all and
especially for Jesus.
Why can't these hopefuls for the highest-ranking governmental seat see
that it is just that simple? Provide me infrastructure and protect me
from these knot-headed whack's that think they can take away our
freedom. Billary, Bama Mama or McNobrain aren't going to change
anything. The foundations of this great country can't be changed by one
person, no matter how much they think they can. As Americans, we have
the right to succeed or fail and try again as we please. As a free man,
I'm getting good at failing but I get smarter when I try again.
When presidential candidates tout change, the only thing I see in this
country that needs changing is them. Life in America is good
and for those that don't think so, you're free to leave at any time, go
to another country of your choice and try to change it.
I'm Monte Tucker, and that is what's under my professional bovine
relocation specialist hat. Wait, I'm not changing, that is what's under
my COWBOY hat!
Something I have been saying for a while now- These three front runners are all have jobs in the US Senate NOW. They can all introduce their plan any day. No need to wait for the big job- as that is not the job of the POTUSA anyway! It is always has been the job of Senators and Congressmen to introduce a "plan" (legislation).
Why do we have to wait? Are we hostages, unable to have the great plan until we give them the big job?
