What It All Means

imageimageBeginning The Fourth Quarter
-- by Allan Kelly (Skipper)

If this were a football game, the Conservative Reds would be down 31-10 at the end of the third quarter. Is the other team better than us or smarter than us? Heck no. We’ve shot ourselves in the foot with interceptions, missed field goals, fumbles at the goal line and an offensive coordinator who has been asleep the entire game so far. Hell, even the water boy has bailed on us.

Can anybody really blame them for deserting us? Yesterday, I voted a straight Republican ticket but I will have to admit I did it through clenched teeth. It was easy to vote for Jim Talent because he has been a decent Senator - unfortunately, Claire McCaskill’s team from the DNC stole enough votes (about 40,000) to win. Elsewhere across the country, the result was the same. What went wrong?

I’ll tell you what went wrong. For six years, we have been playing defense. We scored a touchdown in Afghanistan and got America ready and willing to back us in the fight. We scored a field goal when we just barely managed to get more balance on the Supreme Court with two new conservative judges. Other than that, we haven’t had the ball once when we didn’t cough it up on downs or fumble our chance away.

On the other side of the ball, the Liberal Blues have provided plenty of entertainment. They have played like madmen, throwing in confusing plays and never doing what you’d expect of rational players. Their whole game plan has been to keep our team off balance and unable to get in rhythm. Our front line defense, the “Blog Squad” has been beat up pretty badly by the well-financed offensive line of the Liberals. Yet we have continued to battle it out in the pits with unswerving defiance.

The problem has been in our defensive backfield. Our linebackers in the House have been pretty much asleep at the switch. They failed to blitz the opposing team’s quarterback on several good opportunities, content to spend their time buying snazzier uniforms for themselves and ignoring assistant coach Rove. The safetys in the Senate have let one receiver after another get by them and have allowed the enemy’s quarterback to score touchdown after touchdown. All we here on the defensive line could do is watch our teammates let us down time after time.

Penalties? The referees in the media have ignored the countless infractions by the Liberals, preferring to let them slide on numerous unsportsmanlike conduct, holding, off-side calls and now too many men on the field. No, the referees have concentrated on the numerous blunders in our defensive backfield - and there have been plenty. The illegal use of lobbyist steroids by Tom DeLay started the avalanche that ended with Mark Foley being penalized and ejected from the game for fondling a male cheerleader. Rah-rah-rah ... phooey!

Well, we’re finally in the fourth quarter and our team has the ball and a chance to finally get our offense in gear. The Liberals outnumber us now, thanks to numerous ejections of key players. Assistant coach Rumsfeld has bailed. Our backs are against the wall. The Liberals are digging in. Fortunately, we have a chance to hang onto the ball for the remainder of this game if we have what it takes.

Do we adopt the Liberals’ game plan and go crazy, fighting them with everything we can throw into their way or do we finally decide to get some real offense going and go for the long bomb, try a flea-flicker or come up with some other wild, unexpected play? It’s all up to us, the “Blog Squad”. We’re now playing offense, team. No more trying to hold the enemy out of our backfield. The defensive backfield is off the field and most of them are out of the game.

We have a pretty good quarterback in Dubya but a slim, under-manned corps of running backs and receivers. We’re all there is, babe. We can go out there and fight or we can lay down and let the Liberals roll over us and go on to victory in 2008. It’s gut-check time. I challenge every conservative blogger and all of you readers out there to listen to the greatest football coach of all time ....

“In life, you’ll have your back up against the wall many times. You might as well get used to it. Just remember, it’s not the size of the dog in the fight, but the size of the fight in the dog.”

-- Paul “Bear” Bryant

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.

Oh, and here's some kind of visitor flag counter thingy. Hey, all the cool blogs have one, so I should too. The Visitors Online thingy up at the top doesn't count anything, but it looks neat. It had better, since I paid actual money for it.
