Tue, 15 Jun 2010 02:36:00 +0000 http://blog.robertringer.com/?p=1263#comment-3353 The following excerpt is from the brilliant book "It Didn't Start With Watergate" by Victor Lasky, p. 154. Brace yourselves, because it includes a direct quote from Franklin Roosevelt's OWN SON, John. And it would likely be a famous quote, but for the liberal press burying it: "In May 1973 at the height of the controversy over Watergate, Bob Considine asked John Roosevelt, the President's youngest son, what he thought about the scandal. John Roosevelt responded, `I can't understand all the commotion in this case. Hell, my father just about invented bugging. Had them spread all over, and thought nothing of it.'" Yep. FDR's own son said that. The following excerpt is from the brilliant book “It Didn’t Start With Watergate” by Victor Lasky, p. 154.

I can tell you that as a Black person (I don't believe the hyphenated nameing such as African American, etc.) there are Blacks in this country that will never give up on Obama. The "tingle up the leg" will never go away. Actually had I not started listeing to Radio station WMAL nearly 38 years ago (where I began listening to Limbaugh) I would be in the same state of mind. I've been fortunate however to have worked for years for Corporate American, often assigned to Government contracts, thereby able to experience the difference in the work ethic of government versus private employees. I have a saying of my own: "Government could be run efficiently with only half the size and a reduction of more than 3/4 of the employees on the payrolls. (They would just have to actually work.) I can only hope that when states like Virginia and others get their cases to this Supreme Court regarding healthcare, that there is enough muscle left within the court to render the same type of decision that Chief Justice Hughes did many years ago and save our nation from total socialized destruction. Now I'm off to find that book - "The Forgotten Man." Your articles are always so enlightening.

We need to keep our minds focused on new people in Congress, and a new President who will be responsible to the Constitution and to the citizenry. What strong leader will emerge and replace him? (I'd vote for you, but don't guess you want the job!)

Because stupid people elect these idiots. It is SO true that these kids know the name of every rapper out there but most likely don't know who their own senator or rep is. They know every American Idol winner but have no idea who the speaker of the house is or how many senators and representatives even comprise Congress. History? Forget it. They are too concerned about who is sleeping with who in Hollywood and so on and so on. Shame, shame... I see dumb people...everywhere.

One underline: This election and the next one, 2010 and 2012 will determine the course of the USA for the next 50 years. If you value your Grandchildren's lives--you must vote and influence friends and others to vote in these two elections. A silent majority will be forever silenced, with or withour FOX and Beck and Rush...we must all do our part, no matter how small we think it is. Scary thoughts, but scary times elicit scarey thoughts, and deeds.

"Fairwell to you ole Rights of Man!!!" We're all a bunch of Billy Budd's unwittingly headed towards our doom under a meglomanical ideological perverse captain. Peter Ustinov was brilliant as the captain in the movie, maybe I should watch it again. What did Billy Budd say when he was transferred to the ship of his doom??

But the reason I am writing, is to ask permission to post this elsewhere. I do a little blogging on blogster....there are several people there who post mostly on political issues, way more conservatives than liberals. Several of these bloggers post articles written by other people of similar mind on a regular basis. I would like to post one or two of your articles on my blog to share with my readers. I feel you oftentimes offer a somewhat unique perspective on some of these issues, that I think some of my friends there would enjoy hearing about. Who knows, you may get a few new subscribers out of it. However, I won't post them without your permission. Thanks so much! driftwoodkat@bellsouth.net Great article as usual.
