Sarge

Bloviating

This piece is written with my tongue firmly planted in my cheek. Cheekiness has been a major component of my literary existence since I got my first box of eight (8) massive Crayola Crayons in Kindergarten when I scribbled my first words: eschew obfuscation! It requires you read through to the end and try desperately to not let your organs detecting light and converting it into electro-chemical impulses in neurons fatigue too desperately.

Memo to Mitt

To: Mitt Romney From: Sarge Subject: WTH? Sir, With friends and political strategists like Eric Fehmstrom on your payroll do you really need Beaurat Obama as a political enemy? Fehmstrom is the mouthpiece credited with saying: “You hit a reset button for the fall campaign. Everything changes. It's almost like an Etch A Sketch. You can kind of shake it up and we start all over again.”

Spirit of the Founding Fathers

Tomorrow is July 4th. We celebrate the birth of our nation. Today, it means cook-outs, sparklers, firecrackers and skyrockets making us happy with loud noises, bountiful colors in the sky and the chance to eat foods other people across the world can only dream of at times. We’re a land of incredible bounty and the world is a competitor to acquire by conquest and a misplaced sense of entitlement what our forefathers fought for, suffered and died to realize.

So what’s the down-side?

Okay. So what exactly is the down-side of Chief Justice John Roberts’ ruling in the case of ObamaCare? In a rendition of the faux moral outrage this ruling has been subjected to, we have the Republican Party issuing boilerplate arguments of how the ruling will destroy the United States. The Democrats are still walking around proclaiming ObamaCare is NOT a tax, it’s a penalty for not having bought health insurance.

Incontinence by bombast

The Affordable Healthcare Act (ObamaCare) is the premier case placed before the court and is now over- ripe for a ruling.

SCOTUS Speaks

The world’s abuzz concerning the new rulings from the Supreme Court of the United States (SCOTUS). Arizona’s Immigration Law 1070 was up for clarification as to its constitutionality. Arizona 1070 has had some major points disallowed by the court as of today. Certain mandates requiring officers to ask questions of an investigative nature were placed in question.

Distractions

Lately, it may have been noted this column has been sporadically written and printed by my esteemed publishers. This is my fault, not theirs. Due to issues beyond my control having to do with health and welfare, I've missed deadlines and therefore not been acceptable for timely publication. This is caused by a combination of not being able to satisfy the needs of my publishers and my personal inability to produce.

No more safe haven for Obama

This is an expansion on an idea I started popping off on after the incident in the Rose Garden at the White House. Neil Munro asked questions before Beaurat Obama was ready to turn away from the correspondents gathered and exercise his well-practiced habit of ignoring what bothers him most: people trying to get an honest answer out of him.

Imperium delirium

While reading Meir Y. Soloveichik as presented in The Weekly Standard of 6-18-2012, I got a thought.

“In touch”, are you serious!!??

Television pundits and news readers are brain-pulsing the question to their audiences: “is Obama losing touch with the middle class Americans?” The answer is of course; No. You can’t lose touch with something you never honestly tried to reach out to in the first place. For some,” the touch” is described in an almost ethereal fashion as a chill immediately spreads across your body and some elder says; ”did somebody just walk over your grave?” In the political sense “being in touch with the American Middle Class is defined in another way.

Leaking intelligence

Attorney General Eric Holder wants a group of Obama supporters to investigate the Obama Administration to determine if there was wrong-doing concerning Intelligence leaks alleged to be committed by Obama employees. Is that what we’re expected to understand?

Logic

Humanism focuses on human values. It concerns human’s logic based understanding of moral stance as opposed to divine teachings and beliefs. Humanism is a perspective elevating human nature, through understanding logic, reason, human nature and men’s understanding of justice. Humanism rejects the belief in the divine and supplants it with the balancing of human needs, interests and abilities.

The Old Guard

One of the most important positions a military person can perform is that of “walking picket”. Dictionary.com defines a picket as: (n)1:a person employed to keep watch for some anticipated event (synonymous with: lookout, sentry, and spotter)

Enough is too much

The Advocate and The Westside Journal barked their headlines like pitbulls snarling a warning to an intruder. The Advocate led off with “Groups targeted for BRAVE”. Port Allen’s Westside Journal leapt to the fray with: “Enough is enough”.

Tasting words, touching thoughts

The Times-Picayune of New Orleans will be going to a three day per week print publication. It’s caused a stir. Electronic media and instant news presentation and publication have gone from the reality of an evolutionary progression to a question as to whether there is a possibility of intelligent design being mismanaged.

…to keep and bear

Second Amendment: …A well-regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.

Teach the subject

The Internet’s ablaze with a North Carolina school teacher’s berating a student not accepting her deification of Beaurat Obama. It was captured on audio and allegedly on videotape. She’s a Social Studies teacher. Her political position is slanted to the point of creating a precipice over which her students may fall if they disagree with her.

Success isn’t a right

Somewhere in the shadows of history is a column I wrote making a clear and understandable statement to high school graduates that success isn’t guaranteed; it must be worked for and fought for and appreciated for its fragility and lack of permanence if you fail to continue working and fighting to maintain it.

Shaken, not stirred

Being a Yankee can be seen as a detriment but I have another tool box to pull metaphorical utensils from to get my point across. One of my favorites is dogsled racing. You don't have much use for dogsleds in Louisiana but the prime participants can be compared.

To silence the messenger

Michelle Malkin’s column is no longer carried by Baton Rouge’s - The Advocate on the Opinion pages. The writer said (s) he enjoyed reading Malkin’s columns and it was a few months since the column was last printed. The writer wanted to know exactly; why? The response was enlightening.
