The Freedom Convoy - Engaging the Jericho Strategy

 

Just rolling into Washington isn't enough. So how do we terrorize the Democrats without breaking any laws or engaging in any violence?  How about taking a strategy from the Old Testament.

1. On day 1 the convoy rolls onto the DC Beltway and very carefully silently circle the city of Washington DC.
2. On day 2 the convoy does the same thing and then rolls back out of town to wherever they have a legal assembly area for the night.
3. On day 3 - same thing
4. On day 4 - same thing
5. On day 5 - same thing
6. On day 6 - same thing
7. On day 7 - The convoy circles the Beltway around DC seven times.
   
   Then, the truckers all pull over, roll down their windows and shout, "The Sword of the Lord and Gideon!" Then everyone blows those big diesel air horns.

Perhaps the Democrats will all fall down.  Who knows?  It certainly would provide the symbolism that would influence an election.

A Public Service Announcement from the Coalition of Wealth Sharers (COWS)

British comedian Russell Brand recently spouted off on some talk show somewhere or other that he though there should be more spreading of the wealth. You hear this a lot from guilt ridden celebrities. They seem to hope that by doing this, the government will take a little from everybody to take care of all this wealth redistribution without actually taking some of theirs.

I have a proposal. Every time a rich celebrity talks about how we need to redistribute the wealth, send him or her an invoice like this one.   Just fill in the blanks on this puppy and mail it to said celebrity. Let him or her know that for a mere $164,999.25 you can offer said entertainer an easy way to redistribute his or her ill-gotten wealth to individuals who have had no opportunity to exploit the masses themselves. AND they can rid themselves of a great deal of unwanted guilt in the process.  They can start with me and you.

We've all surely bought enough tickets, watched enough commercials and bought enough promotional products to be able to claim to have contributed to the inordinately large amount of money they've earned and collected over the years.

I suspect that if every time a celebrity talked about redistribution of wealth, they got about a thousand or more bills from fans seeking a personal "redistribution" of their own wealth, the real consequences of wealth redistribution would, perhaps, sink in through the mental crack fog and nestle somewhere in some unused cognitive center in their brains.

One can only hope!

I Demand My Rights as a Hyphenated-American!

In this age of hyphenated citizenship, I'd like to proudly proclaim my membership in several minority groups which, I believe, should receive special dispensation.  I am:

• A Bearded-American
• A Cracker-American
• A Texan-American
• A Dog-Loving-American
• A Poet-American
• An Honor Student-American
• A Writer-American
• A Nerd-American
• And, sadly, part of a shrinking minority - The Christian-American

I have, throughout my life, been the target of bullies, jocks and cheerleaders because of my hyphenated status - pushed into reviled minority groups by the cliques, good old boy networks and self-appointed celebrities in my little corner of the world. I believe my minority status should be formally recognized as a disadvantaged/frequently threatened group.

So when can we get started with the affirmative action programs, the special provision for our groups in federal grants-in-aid and the protection from criticism for our own stupidity by the mainstream media?

I demand my rights!

Just sayin'
