Cry baby quits after speaking the truth

“We have sort of become a nation of whiners. You just hear this constant whining, complaining about a loss of competitiveness, America in decline,” the former Texas senator said, “You’ve heard of mental depression; this is a mental recession.”

A day after making the comments, Gramm said he was referring to America’s leaders, not the public. He stood behind the “mental recession” comment, though, saying, “we don’t have measured negative growth. That’s a fact; that’s not a commentary.”

McCain responded that day to the comments saying during a campaign stop: “I believe that the person here in Michigan who just lost his job isn’t suffering from a mental recession. I believe the mother here in Michigan or around America who’s trying to get enough money to educate their children isn’t whining.”

Hey old man! Yeah you, McShame. Never heard of loyalty? Never heard of context? Pussy little shit bird.

The correct response to the dems and the media is “What, are you stuck on stupid? This is the greatest country in the world, the greatest country that’s ever been, and our citizens enjoy the highest standards of living, employment, freedom, security, and opportunity in the world. And while it’s always a good thing to try and make things even better, there are an awful lot of people who take that for granted. People who feel put upon because they only have 2 cars, 3 TV sets, a riding lawnmower and a lawn to ride it on, so much food that half of the country is overweight, secure banks they can safely keep their money in, etc.  Get some perspective already.  More than half the world goes to bed hungry, and lives hardly any better than their ancestors did 5000 years ago. That’s terrible, and those people have real complaints. America isn’t perfect, but we are a young country and we’re making progress all the time. Complaining that this isn’t utopia is whining. America has not lost its competitive edge and we are not in decline. Saying so because you can’t get what you want the very instant you want it is whining. And it’s not the same as an honest complaint. Or a real grievance that needs redress. And it’s not the same as crying out for help because life has turned against you. And if you can’t tell the difference without my laying out a dozen examples, you really are stuck on stupid.”

And the next day, when your boy Phil tries to cover and says he was referring to government leaders, you give them both barrels: chapter AND verse of all the moronic statements, bills, beliefs, belligerent actions and genuinely un-American behaviors of the Democrats. A mere 300 to 400 examples should do. Again, that’s called loyalty. That’s being a stand up guy, and that’s being a good politician who can fight on his feet. Characteristics we want in a leader, by the way. Turn lemons into lemonade and bitch slap your opponents with the rinds at the same time.

Instead Numero Juan plays the cowardly Obama Bus-Toss game. What a coprolite. Way to take the fight to the enemy there, Mr. Navy. Fight? Oh, no, no, we can’t have that. This has to be the padded kid gloves campaign, each finger lined with seasonally shed chinchilla fur. No criticism, no conflicts, no vigor, no strength, no loyalty. Son of a bitch. I mean, I expect Obama to act like a gutless pouting little fancy nancy, because he is one. But Mr. War Hero? No. Ach, crivens, tohellwivit!

Don’t worry, I’m not letting Philby off either. Ever hear of taking one for the team Phildo Dildo? Did you ever stop and think that letting the dems and the press gang up on you for a while takes the heat off your guy? After all your centuries in government you can’t beat off this attack, or just ignore it, or find some way to shift the blame? Gosh, so glad we elected you, tough guy. What, about 38 times, wasn’t it?

In a written statement released Friday, Gramm said his comments had become a distraction for McCain. 

“It is clear to me that Democrats want to attack me rather than debate Senator McCain on important economic issues facing the country,” Gramm said. “That kind of distraction hurts not only Senator McCain’s ability to present concrete programs to deal with the country’s problems, it hurts the country.”

Nonsense. Tell the press to take a hike. Tell the dems to get a life. Ask yourself, WWDCD? (what would Dick Cheney do?), and act accordingly. With one finger on each hand. Man up. For goodness sake, you quit/got fired because these jokers were complaining about a remark you made that said they were complaining. Well, duh, hello?

Not that very many people ever read this far down, but this blog was the creation of Allan Kelly and his friend Vilmar. Vilmar moved on to his own blog some time ago, and Allan ran this place alone until his sudden and unexpected death partway through 2006. We all miss him. A lot. Even though he is gone this site will always still be more than a little bit his. We who are left to carry on the BMEWS tradition owe him a great debt of gratitude, and we hope to be able to pay that back by following his last advice to us all:

1. Keep a firm grasp of Right and Wrong
2. Stay involved with government on every level and don't let those bastards get away with a thing
3. Use every legal means to defend yourself in the event of real internal trouble, and, most importantly:
4. Keep talking to each other, whether here or elsewhere

It's been a long strange trip without you Skipper, but thanks for pointing us in the right direction and giving us a swift kick in the behind to get us going. Keep lookin' down on us, will ya? Thanks.
