Anything you may see, hear, or read at this here Hitchin' Post and cracker barrel forum is for the expressed purpose of the betterment of mankind or womankind whichever you prefer. It is not to be misconstrued as trying to influence you, sway you, or lead you down a path of self righteousness, greed or untruthfulness.

It takes huge cajones to delve into the world of the unknown, and since I have been convinced since I was 40 that "I have seen it all, and that I know it all", and then proven wrong (I'm always right even when I am wrong) umpteen gazillion times, it takes even bigger cajones to write this stuff.

If u gots da cajones, read dis one all the way thru! If u aint’, Don’t!

We as a nation are about as divided as we have ever been, with possibly the exception of the Civil War. I strongly use the word possibly, for other than not shooting at each other with guns, (which goes on daily in the streets of our now third world barrios and major slums of our cities) the maniacal edge of this, the most interesting political season of our lives, (the world series of politics) is extremely juicy and volatile.

I cannot open my mouth in Hana, for fear of being found out a McCain Supporter. I have unknowingly risked life long friendships, (and for that I apologize) offended O’Bama voters, (for that I do not wish to apologize) and I am guilty of knowingly stirring up the Witch’s brew in the boiling Cauldron. Who me?? Naw, not me!! I wouldn’t do such a thing as that?? “LMAO” Lighten up, it’s just the biggest decision of your adult American life.

So not to delay, (time is getting short) here is my blog today (to which I welcome all civil thought and replies, no death threats please) in which I urge you to do two things. THINK, THINK THINK AND VOTE VOTE VOTE. Whoa, hold on der now, for some folks that is six things?? Think about this great nation of ours and Vote your conscience, know for whom you vote, make it a matter of choice not a matter of demopublican or republocrat.

Yesterday, I was offering one of my new CD’s to a lady, and she took it from my hand and said, “I will buy your CD if you aren’t going to vote for McCain!” I politely reached and took my CD from her hand and said, “My Dad spilled his blood, in WWII I served in Nam, my nephew is in Iraq and we all did that so you do not have the right to tell me who to vote for!” So please let me make my position in this election a bit clearer. When I encourage a vote for McCain, no matter how hot my rhetoric, I AM NOT TELLINGANYONE WHO TO VOTE FOR!!! I am merely cajoling and suggesting that if you open your minds and hearts and THINK, you could possibly see beyond the media hype, and loyal party roots long enough to KNOW who is best for our country in these times. Oh yes, Oh yes, I can hear you now, that Sarah Palin (as the “LADY” who didn’t buy my CD so aptly put it) is a bitch that doesn’t know anything. Well folks, in short, Sarah Palin has a top secret US Feds/CIA clearance to run the only full time National Guard in the country and an Air Force that patrols the Russian Border watching for sign of Nuclear Launch. She is in charge of 15,000 State Employees, a State Highway Patrol, the Coast Guard, and has put thousands of Oil Money dollars back in the hands of Alaskan citizens. When was the last time your federal government sent you a check for over $6000??? If that ain’t “knowin’ anything”, then I guess that makes me a dumb@zz too, because the one thing I know is that Mr. Barry O’Bama was a community organizer for Acorn and has not even a little finger nails worth of the executive experience Mrs. Palin has accrued over the last 7 years!! Not one Democrat criticized a young 32 year old Bill Clinton who became Governor of Arkansas for his lack of experience. Oh, I see, it is a Dem thing to put the Peter Principal into action and promote someone to their highest level of ignorance?? OK then why can’t the Republocrats do that too??? Tit for Tat, take that, McCain wasn’t the brightest crayon out of his Naval Academy box either.

Now consider this: Thomas Sowell, syndicated columnist and a Black Man’s thinking Black Man, wrote: Senator John McCain could never convince me to vote for him. Only Hillary Clinton or Barack Obama can cause me to vote for McCain.” However, it was mistakingly accredited to him but in an email written anonymously, it went on to say, (and I am paraphrasing) “please do not insult my intelligence by telling me Mr. Obama did not know what the good and kind Reverend Jeremiah “God D#*@” America” Wright was doing. He and the Mrs. were married by Wright, his two children were baptized by Wright and he attended and tithed to that church for twenty years. So you are telling me that If I went to KKK rallies for twenty years and owned a white sheet with five holes (one is a bullet hole, the other for the Bull crap to flow out of), you wouldn’t believe me if I told you I had no idea what they (or I) were doing in there? Bull Hocky Puck.” You would know I was lying??? But you would have me believe that you believe that Mr. O’Bama is deaf, dumb, and blind??? Then Ladies and gentlemen, I submit to you that you have been subliminally and verbally hypnotized, duelly prosthetized, promptly homogenized and glossily symonized to a high yella’ sheen, because I can tell you the last sermon my preacher preached and what he said. I don’t go to church to catch up on my sleep.

The email went on to say: “Which leaves us with Senator John McCain. John, you are a flawed man. You are a bit old, a bit looney, and you have a notoriously bad temper. This perfectly qualifies you, in my humble opinion, to lead us for the next eight years.. I WANT your trembling hand on the nuclear button. Think about it. We have Kim Jong IL, Chavez and Ahmadenijad all running around like lunatics, threatening America and threatening to plunge the world into nuclear Armageddon. We have Putin and the Chinese blustering and

rattling their sabers at us. I want John McCain in the Oval Office and I want him to be really ticked off at all these other nut jobs around the planet.

John, once you are elected, I want you to go into the Oval Office and throw one of your perfect FITS. Jump up and down and throw something through a plate glass window. Rip the drapes down and foam at the mouth a bit. And I want the whole thing on camera so that Ahmadinejad can see it. I want ALL of these “world leaders” to lay awake at night and to break out in a cold sweat every time they think of messing with the United States of America .

I want the nuclear button sitting right next to the alarm clock on your night stand. I want pictures of this to be sent to Iran , Russia , China , Venezuela , Cuba , Libya , Syria , Pakistan , and those other dopes in the sheets, the Saudis.

On the domestic front, poor John did try and reach across the aisle to the opposition in a desperate effort to compromise and to get the Congress to do something. You may not agree with his efforts, but at least he TRIED . For all his efforts, all he got handed to him was his head in a basket. The liberals are ticked at him and the conservatives are ticked at him. Just my kinda guy.

Finally. John McCain knows on a most personal level what it is to suffer horrible torture for years and to see others die, right in front of you, for their love of America . When you ask him about it, he will tell you that what he did was “nothing special. ” Even more incredibly, he states that ANY American who truly loves his country would do exactly the same as he did in that situation.. You and I will have a hard time believing that, but the real

point is that John McCain believes that about the “average American,” and that, dear friends and neighbors, is why I will cast my one poor ballot for on election day for John McCain — warts and all.”
