From Tranquilla II on the Back of Eddy Creek on Lake Barkley --- It is Sunday morning in Kentucky in the summer. Hot and humid. Kay is taking the early hours to do some weed-eating. I did some 2-hours of yard work yesterday and today decided I needed to catch up inside. While checking my e-mail I came across a video and a new blog site. I will share both with you in a moment, however, first I have somethings to get off my heart.
I am over all the political correctness.
Bottom-line: I don't like this President, this Congress or either of the two parties - Republican or Democrats.
No one up there represents me or my viewpoints. I am not alone. I know that from talking to my friends and acquaintances on both sides of the political spectrum. Our country is running amuck!
We have allowed our country to be turned over to a bunch of thugs and pantywaists in Congress on both sides of the aisles. Some of our country elected a President on the basis of something other than common sense.
This is not to suggest that either candidate was that worthwhile frankly.
Somehow we have totally gotten away from what I believe our Founding Fathers intended our country to be.
A once great America, "The Shining City on the Hill" is turning into a version of the socialist Europe and Canadian model; neither of which do I believe is sanctioned by the vast majority of people in the "Real America."
I told my wife the day of 9-11 that all that fawning and singing on the steps of the Capitol and how all of Congress was going to hold hands and have tea together and work united was a bunch of crap - a political show and nothing more.
Was I wrong? No! I wasn't wrong.
I also told her at that time that I wanted to be a part of the fight on the war on terror.
Well, in a small way I contributed but not to the extent and level I wished. I was too old I was told to re-enlist. I was too out-of-date to assist in the intel area. I could not speak any of the languages and had never fought on the desert battlefield.
Yet, I believe that many of us even at our "advanced" age (yes, 59 is looming now) will soon be faced with having to protect what little freedoms we will have left after this President and Congress finishes looting them
It was our "younger men" such as Staff Sgt. John Beale, the 39-year old from Riverdale, Ga. who fought for us in Iraq.
S/Sgt Beale was with the U.S. Army,1st Battalion, 108th Reconnaissance, Surveillance and Target Acquisition Squadron, 48th Infantry Brigade Combat Team, Georgia Army National Guard, Calhoun, Ga.
He was killed by a IED on June 9th.
They brought Sgt Beale home for burial recently and it was videotaped.
What you will see, if you watch this video, will reaffirm for some the values that we as Americans out here in the "Real America" hold dear.
I believe that the vast majority of American still hold the values of freedom, liberty, and a country where we will be left alone to pursue our own dreams without benefit of continuing government intervention or oversight very dear.
A country where we will choose to work for our benefit and not for the benefit of other men.
I have known a number of Sgt. Beales over the years and I can tell you that every one of them without exception believed in the principles and values stated above and in our Constitution.
That is why they voluntarily enlisted.
That is why they chose to defend our country against terrorists. And they do understand that freedom is not free.
Often I have said to my liberal and progressive friends, "We fought for your right to say and do whatever you wish as part of your freedom of expression but it doesn't mean I agree with it or that I condone it."
Frankly, too much of what is going on in our country now is beyond my ability to understand or condone and therefore I choose not to do so.
And having said that I will acknowledge right now that you will hear the pundits on both sides of the political aisle make their audacious commentaries on the "war" and those that fight it.
Those pundits from the progressives on MSNBC, NBC, ABC, and CBS will malign and wring their hands over the war while having thrills run up their legs about the new President.
The Washington Post will solemnly list S/Sgt Beale on their casualty page.
Then you will see the so called conservatives those on the "right" wave their flags and talk proudly how they support the troops and America but how they are now in exile and have to fight their way back into political power.
Both sides are full of it.
The blow-hard blustery crap they spew day in and day out is worthless chatter and noise. Their interest is in ratings and getting and keeping power ladies and gentlemen it is that simple.
What you won't see (except in the video below) is the sincere and deeply felt emotions of the everyday Americans who understand the sanctity of life, the value of freedom and liberty, the intent of the Founding Fathers who said that "All men are created equal and are endowed by their Creator with inalienable rights and that among these are the right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness ..."
No, you won't see this type of video on MSNBC, or if you did you would have Keith Olberman or Chris Matthews making some kind of snide comments about us "hillbillys" or "rubes" showing our patriotic fervor.
You probably won't ever see it on Fox News either but if you did it would be to further their ratings and their own vanity.
What you are about to see is the "Real America" yes, the "Red States" showing their respect for a fallen hero - one of their own as it is.
One person remarked that they didn't think they would see this very often where ever it was they lived.
Well sir, you are mistaken when it comes to thinking that about the South.
Most of us who had parents that raised us right especially in the South still pull over to the side of the road when a funeral procession passes. Many of us even get out of our cars and bow our heads in reverence.
There is a "Real America" out here Mr. President and Congress.
In this "Real America" we are the taxpayers that you want more money from to pay for your global warming, your housing and car company bail-outs, your single payer health insurance travesties, your trips to Chicago and Paris and the luxuries that you in Congress think you are entitled to by being there.
And yes Congress (both sides of the fence boys and girls - both sides), you bunch of fawning sycophants, there is a "Real America" out here. An America where we still honor our fallen heroes.
The vast majority of us still believe we have to fight and die for our freedom and liberty and an America that believes it is better to take the war to the bastards than to fight it on our on soil.
No, I don't expect this President and Congress, or those that want government to be their "Sugar Daddy" would understand much of this.
In reality I don't really care if they do or not but now and then you have to get this stuff off your heart and chest.
Now, if I haven't bored you to death with my commentary, or upset you so much you can't think straight, then sit back, turn up the speakers and get you a tissue.
This video was shared by Dr. Ignatius Piazza
(http://www.ignatius-piazza-front-sight.com/)
The video was taken by Rep. Steve Davis from the front seat of a patrol car that escorted the body of S/Sgt Beale home.
Thank you S/Sgt Beale. May you rest in peace.
Simper Fi, Dr. Darryl

My WWII veteran friends knowing he won't I will tell you I am embarrassed for our British friends and allies and I know they would all issue their personal apology given the opportunity.

In Election 2008, Don’t Forget Us Angry White Men
Amen Gary Hubbell, Amen! Read on ...
In election 2008, don’t forget Angry White Man
Gary Hubbell
February 9, 2008
There is a great amount of interest in this year’s presidential elections, as everybody seems to recognize that our next president has to be a lot better than George Bush. The Democrats are riding high with two groundbreaking candidates — a woman and an African-American — while the conservative Republicans are in a quandary about their party’s nod to a quasi-liberal maverick, John McCain.
Each candidate is carefully pandering to a smorgasbord of special-interest groups, ranging from gay, lesbian and transgender people to children of illegal immigrants to working mothers to evangelical Christians.
There is one group no one has recognized, and it is the group that will decide the election: the Angry White Man. The Angry White Man comes from all economic backgrounds, from dirt-poor to filthy rich. He represents all geographic areas in America, from urban sophisticate to rural redneck, deep South to mountain West, left Coast to Eastern Seaboard.
His common traits are that he isn’t looking for anything from anyone — just the promise to be able to make his own way on a level playing field. In many cases, he is an independent businessman and employs several people. He pays more than his share of taxes and works hard.
The victimhood syndrome buzzwords — “disenfranchised,” “marginalized” and “voiceless” — don’t resonate with him. “Press ‘one’ for English” is a curse-word to him. He’s used to picking up the tab, whether it’s the company Christmas party, three sets of braces, three college educations or a beautiful wedding.
He believes the Constitution is to be interpreted literally, not as a “living document” open to the whims and vagaries of a panel of judges who have never worked an honest day in their lives.
The Angry White Man owns firearms, and he’s willing to pick up a gun to defend his home and his country. He is willing to lay down his life to defend the freedom and safety of others, and the thought of killing someone who needs killing really doesn’t bother him.
The Angry White Man is not a metrosexual, a homosexual or a victim. Nobody like him drowned in Hurricane Katrina — he got his people together and got the hell out, then went back in to rescue those too helpless and stupid to help themselves, often as a police officer, a National Guard soldier or a volunteer firefighter.
His last name and religion don’t matter. His background might be Italian, English, Polish, German, Slavic, Irish, or Russian, and he might have Cherokee, Mexican, or Puerto Rican mixed in, but he considers himself a white American.
He’s a man’s man, the kind of guy who likes to play poker, watch football, hunt white-tailed deer, call turkeys, play golf, spend a few bucks at a strip club once in a blue moon, change his own oil and build things. He coaches baseball, soccer and football teams and doesn’t ask for a penny. He’s the kind of guy who can put an addition on his house with a couple of friends, drill an oil well, weld a new bumper for his truck, design a factory and publish books. He can fill a train with 100,000 tons of coal and get it to the power plant on time so that you keep the lights on and never know what it took to flip that light switch.
Women either love him or hate him, but they know he’s a man, not a dishrag. If they’re looking for someone to walk all over, they’ve got the wrong guy. He stands up straight, opens doors for women and says “Yes, sir” and “No, ma’am.”
He might be a Republican and he might be a Democrat; he might be a Libertarian or a Green. He knows that his wife is more emotional than rational, and he guides the family in a rational manner.
He’s not a racist, but he is annoyed and disappointed when people of certain backgrounds exhibit behavior that typifies the worst stereotypes of their race. He’s willing to give everybody a fair chance if they work hard, play by the rules and learn English.
Most important, the Angry White Man is pissed off. When his job site becomes flooded with illegal workers who don’t pay taxes and his wages drop like a stone, he gets righteously angry. When his job gets shipped overseas, and he has to speak to some incomprehensible idiot in India for tech support, he simmers. When Al Sharpton comes on TV, leading some rally for reparations for slavery or some such nonsense, he bites his tongue and he remembers. When a child gets charged with carrying a concealed weapon for mistakenly bringing a penknife to school, he takes note of who the local idiots are in education and law enforcement.
He also votes, and the Angry White Man loathes Hillary Clinton. Her voice reminds him of a shovel scraping a rock. He recoils at the mere sight of her on television. Her very image disgusts him, and he cannot fathom why anyone would want her as their leader. It’s not that she is a woman. It’s that she is who she is. It’s the liberal victim groups she panders to, the “poor me” attitude that she represents, her inability to give a straight answer to an honest question, his tax dollars that she wants to give to people who refuse to do anything for themselves.
There are many millions of Angry White Men. Four million Angry White Men are members of the National Rifle Association, and all of them will vote against Hillary Clinton, just as the great majority of them voted for George Bush.
He hopes that she will be the Democratic nominee for president in 2008, and he will make sure that she gets beaten like a drum.

America is at the "Mall"
FROM THE BACK END OF LAKE BARKLEY ON EDDY CREEK --- It is COLD and ICY and miserable outside today and the boys and me are snuggling up in the office. I have just cancelled my afternoon appointments, Kay has gotten on the slippery road to Nashville to catch an early flight Tuesday to Florida on business and I am diligently working away to catch up having been on the road myself the past week.
And today my old friend and colleague from TVA days Chuck Howell has shared a most poignant and in my eyes truthful accounting of why Americans have the perception they do of the Iraqi War.
It follows for your educational enhancement...
'You Ain't Gonna Like Losing'
(Author unknown)
President Bush did make a bad mistake in the war on terrorism.
But the mistake was not his decision to go to war in Iraq Bush's mistake came in his belief that this country is the same one his father fought for in WWII.
It is not.
Back then, they had just come out of a vicious depression. The country was steeled by the hardship of that depression, but they still believed fervently in this country. They knew that the people had elected their leaders, so it was the people's duty to back those leaders.
Therefore, when the war broke out the people came together, rallied behind, and stuck with their leaders, whether they had voted for them or not or whether the war was going badly or not. And war was just as distasteful and the anguish just as great then as it is today.
Often there were more casualties in one day in WWII than we have had in the entire Iraq war.
But that did not matter.
The people stuck with the President because it was their patriotic duty. Americans put aside their differences in WWII and worked together to win that war. Everyone from every strata of society, from young to old pitched in. Small children pulled little wagons around to gather scrap metal for the war effort. Grade school students saved their pennies to buy stamps for war bonds to help the effort.
Men who were too old or medically 4F lied about their age or condition trying their best to join the military. Women doubled their work to keep things going at home. Harsh rationing of everything from gasoline to soap, to butter was imposed, yet there was very little complaining.
You never heard prominent people on the radio belittling the President.
Interestingly enough in those days there were no fat cat actors and entertainers who ran off to visit and fawn over dictators of hostile countries and complain to them about our President.
Instead, they made upbeat films and entertained our troops to help the troops' morale. And a bunch even enlisted.
And imagine this: Teachers in schools actually started the day off with a Pledge of Allegiance, and with prayers for our country and our troops! Back then, no newspaper would have dared point out certain weak spots in our cities where bombs could be set off to cause the maximum damage.
No newspaper would have dared complain about what we were doing to catch spies. A newspaper would have been laughed out of existence if it had complained that German or Japanese soldiers were being 'tortured' by being forced to wear women's underwear, or subjected to interrogation by a woman, or being scared by a dog or did not have air conditioning.
There were a lot of things different back then.
We were not subjected to a constant bombardment of pornography, perversion and promiscuity in movies or on radio. We did not have legions of crack heads, dope pushers and armed gangs roaming our streets.
No, President Bush did not make a mistake in his handling of terrorism. He made the mistake of believing that we still had the courage and fortitude of our fathers. He believed that this was still the country that our fathers fought so dearly to preserve. It is not the same country. It is now a cross between Sodom and Gomorra and the land of Oz.
We did unite for a short while after 9/11, but our attitude changed when we found out that defending our country would require some sacrifices.
We are in great danger. The terrorists are fanatic Muslims. They believe that it is okay, even their duty, to kill anyone who will not convert to Islam. It has been estimated that about one third or over three hundred million Muslims are sympathetic to the terrorists cause... Hitler and Tojo combined did not have nearly that many potential recruits.
So... We either win it - or lose it - and you ain't gonna like losing.
America is not at war. The military is at war. America is at the mall.

Hillary BOMBED in the debate last night
I felt sorry for Hillary RODHAM Clinton last night. She got BOMBED from all sides. It was not a pretty sight.
Her attempts to stay with her briefing book answers tangled her up and today her inner circle even says that "Gentle Ben" Tim Russert was "belligerent and unfair" to her.
If I didn't know better I would say that her advisers, some of whom I know personally, are feeling her wrath today. Within days we can expect the "kneecapping" and the "backstabbing" to begin in earnest as the Clintons send out their minions to do their dirty work.
However, let me make this clear --- I obviously don't like or respect Hillary Clinton but at the same time I am not seeing anyone emerge in the other party that strikes my fancy either.
I agree with one of my colleagues who recently said that she wished she could go to the polls and vote "none of the above." I am inclined to agree.
Hillary RODHAM Clinton you won't be able to go by your play book in the future nor will any of your opponents in your primary. The American people are ready for straight shooting and truthful answers from both sides of the political spectrum. We deserve nothing less since our tax dollars are also funding these ridiculous campaigns.
Speaking of needing the truth --- recently the pompous and often arrogant Bill O'Reilly pontificated about how the "911 Truthers" were dangerous and creating societal unrest. He proclaimed they should not be allowed an audience or to question our government or anyone else for that matter.
Even former President William Jefferson Clinton was appalled and shocked that someone would ask him if the 911 event was an "inside job" and in his locked jaw, smirking attempt to condescend to the questioner he replied, "How dare you..."
Well, "How dare you both" I believe that everyone including the loonies and zanies should have the right to question anything and everything our government says and does.
Remember now they (the loonies and zanies) believe somehow that the very President they vilify --- the "stupido" as they call President George W. Bush --- was somehow brilliant enough to pull off an inside job on 911.
You can't have it both ways folks --- he is either brilliant or stupid. Which is it?
However, to not question our government Mr. O'Reilly? Well, that is beyond the pale --- this is the same government that intentionally exposed school children to radiated milk in the 1950s and sterilized without their permission minorities in the 1940s and 1950s. And yes, it took years of inquiry and asking the questions before they were ever exposed. If we followed your philosophy we would never know the truth.
Continue to ask the questions all you loonies and zanies on all sides --- I want to hear Hillary RODHAM Clinton explain how she became a millionaire overnight; how Mitt Romney allegedly "lowered taxes" in the highest taxed state in the Union; how Rudy believes that abridging the Second Amendment saved lives in NYC, and yes, even how "The Breck Girl" and Obama came to be what they are today.
Until next time.

Michael Vick Finds “Jesus” and Senator Larry Craig is not “Gay” - Yeah Right
Go ahead and call me a cynic. Because you would be right!
It should be pointed out that psychopathic killers usually start their killing lust by first torturing and killing animals. Sounds to me like Michael Vick, the darling role model to so many fans of the NFL, may have exhibited his latent psychopathic tendencies when he chose to kill his nonperforming dogs. I wonder if he believes that less than stellar performing athletes should be treated the same way?
Before someone plays the “race card” – and many already have --- I heard it all day today --- if he was white he would not have been as maligned, criticized, and possibly severely punished --- let me make it clear it makes no difference to me if Vick is African-American, Caucasian, Hispanic, or an Eskimo what he did is horrible. Frankly, if I had my way his punishment would be to place him in the room with his remaining dogs and let them judge him.
Finding “Jesus” Mr. Vick is convenient and I hope you found “salvation”, however, “redemption” will now come through your deeds and actions in the future. Vick should be sentenced to the maximum, serve his time, resign from the NFL, and go about living a life after his prison term redeeming himself. And by the way, donating a few million dollars of penance to charity would be a good step as well.
You received good crisis counseling advice Mr. Vick. I am just glad you are not my client.
Larry Craig and the “Bathroom Caper”
Before I start this rant let me make it clear, I don’t believe Senator Larry Craig, a conservative Republican from Idaho is a “hypocrite” as some of the media have painted him.
Nope, I just think he is as “dumb as a brick” and may be a “closet gay” unlike the flaming Congressman Barney Frank, the Liberal Democrat whose practicing of his unique lisp and his “coming out” party are the two major accomplishments of his tenure in Congress.
Any United States Senator that thinks he won’t get caught playing footsie in the bathroom at a major airport is pretty dumb. Frankly, some might say he is just downright stupid.
Furthermore, this elected official who chose not to engage legal counsel, yet pleads guilty to a lesser charge that he claims he is not even guilty of --- this man is responsible for helping run our country?
My advice – and there is no charge Senator for this advice – just go ahead and confess, find “Jesus”, throw yourself on the mercy of the voters, cry a little while your lower lip quivers --- you can take lessons from Billy Jeff Clinton if you don't know how to do it. Be sure to have your “beloved” wife by your side as you give your confession to the media and the world it just adds a nice touch.
And some more unsolicited advice to both Republicans and Democrats --- if you are in the closet you might as well come out because I guarantee that you are on the “hit” list of the media --- especially the conservatives.
However, frankly I have come to the conclusion that our elected officials in Congress are all as worthless as “teats on a boar hog” and it is time for a major cleaning out of D.C. in all the upcoming elections and on both sides of the aisle.
I, for one, am tired of your bi-partisan bickering, sniping and your inability to get anything done. It is time you were forced to fix the issues that loom large or stop being paid your extravagant salaries by us the taxpayers.
Until next time.

Genaro C. Armas is a disgrace as a reporter
And the media wonders why we don’t trust them?
By now any of you that have followed the Little League Championship know that Georgia won the game against Japan.
We offer our heartiest congratulations to the Georgia team.
However, what you might not know, especially if you read the Associated Press, is the level of sportsmanship that was shown by the U.S. players toward the losers.
Yep, once again our media whose job is to report the news and not “interpret it” has failed. Poor reporting such as this would have gotten me fired on the spot when I was a journalist.
Read what Genaro C. Armas, AP Sports says about the reaction of the Georgia team to the win: “After exchanging handshakes with players from Japan, Georgia players took hold of the championship banner, their proud parents snapping pictures from the stands.”
You can read the rest of his "interpretation" of the "facts" at: http://sports.aol.com/story/ar/_a/us-walks-off-with-little-league-title/20070826190209990001
What this reporter can’t bring himself to tell you, fortunately the television medium at least Fox News used the video to show the entire story, is that every single Georgia player consoled the Japanese players by taking time to “hug” them – not just shake their hands.
And that this consoling and congratulating of the losers went on for at least 15-minutes and that the Georgia coach also participated in the consolation and the demonstration of sportsmanship!
This is the essence of what sports is all about. I was taught by every single coach that I ever played under or with that a major part of the game was to exhibit as much dignity and grace after the game as possible. Whether we won or lost, we always took the time to show sportsman like conduct.
Yes, Genaro C. Armas it appears that the coach of the Georgia team has taught his players well, however, it must gall you to have to report the truth although I do give you credit for reporting
Too bad, that in journalism school somehow you either flunked basic observation and reporting or that you have been so indoctrinated with the need to tell your version of the story you can’t see the truth.
And the mainstream media wonders why we don’t have any faith in them?
Mr. Armas, if you worked for me, you would be looking for a job this morning.
Until next time.
