"Those People" redux

For the record:

Robert Edward Lee used to use the term “Those People” when referring to his enemies. He would not denigrate them further, their actions were self-evident. General Lee was a Christian, and a gentleman.

I am neither, but “Those People” is still a perfect term for those who have taken control of Congress. I do not suffer from Post Election Stress Trauma [PEST]; I have my own fish to fry. Politics supersedes the NFL and NASCAR as the ultimate blood-sport, but I remain an amused observer. I am, in fact, delighted that America has fallen into the “progressive” hands of the modern incarnation of the Socialist party. One of the upsides of hermitage is that they can do little to harm the crest of Scorpion Hill. Life continues apace here, and a nothing from an Iranian stranglehold on oil to a nuclear incident will have much effect.

I wish I could say that for the rest of America, but y’all are getting the best government money can buy. Enjoy it…

I have a lot of phrases for those of the liberal mind-set. Such comments are hurled at my TV, as I watch the nightly circus. C-SPAN is as boring as this blog, but I find it highly entertaining. Despite “Kramer’s” rant, I suppose my predilections and personal preferences are “just me”, as Jerry Seinfeld said.

“Those People” is a perfect fit. I am anxious to see a transformation in the Middle East, an end to “the culture of corruption” described by speaker-designate Pelosi. Ya…she is going to change things. Among many other citizens, I have a Bronze Star and two Hearts with the “V” device. Jack Murtha is constantly described by the NY Times as “highly decorated”. I'm just a guy.

One word for Murtha: ABSCAM.

Don’t shame our mutual trinkets. They were earned honorably, but you have lost your way.

You have earned your rank among “Those People”.

I can think of a great many epithets for American servicemen from Nam who turn their yellow backs since they've obtained political office. Nothing is publishable here. I am giving breaks. The 173d Airborne owned the night; go read your history. Career politicians have forgotten their roots.

I will stick with R. E. Lee: “Those People.”

Lee was a conflicted man. He made the Devil’s choice. He fought for what he ultimately believed, although it cost him, in the Founding Fathers’ words, his life, fortune, and sacred honor.

Today’s politics carry no such sense of history. They are all about cheap whores making street corner deals and spreading their legs on animal skins in back alleys.

If I have to pay for it, I’d prefer something with a bit more class than what Washington offers.

I can’t wait to see how the “new leadership” will raise the price of prostitution.

In reference to the Capitol Hill crowd, I call them... "Those !#@*%!! People". The Dems are worse, but the Repubs are not far behind. Good analogy to prostitutes. What I want to know is who are the pimps?

The next two years are going to be a rough ride. We have to buckle up, and despite political correctness, we must survive the nuclear incident that is coming.

I am getting tired of saying "I told ya so".

Consider it said, in this little comments section. We will rue the day; hide somewhere and watch.
