Last week I was humbled to find that my horizons, my perspective was in desperate need of broadening.  There are moments in our lives that effect the course of our personal history.  How we handle these pivotal times can alter the path of our life’s pilgrimage forever.
So again last week, while roofing in 90 degree weather with 100% humidity, my friend, who also wishes to remain anonymous voiced his strident opinion about the relevant issues of the day.  Here I will quote him, though from behind the veil of anonymity.  He said, “I don’t know if I can stand to hear anymore of this horse pucky from Obama!”
I was taken a back.  While I claim to have at least a layman’s grasp of the English language, I confess that I was not aware of this equine term.  What was it’s origin?  Of course the inevitable societal implications must be reconciled.  Driven by my thirst to delve in the existential, I pressed my friend to expound by asking, “What exactly is horse pucky ?!”
At this point my first anonymous friend (the original) rolled his eyes and sighed, “Well we know what Andy’s next column will be about.”  So my friend has been proven to have a prophetic gift.  It should be noted here that the crew I work with have now become the Posse of the Anonymous.  With my original anonymous friend being it’s head. I can’t be in the posse because you know my name and to be anonymous you must be nameless….because that’s what ….anonymous….means….
In other news,  research ahs shown that horse pucky is the exact opposite of horse sense, both metaphorically and anatomically.  Thankfully,  someone has come to give us a living, vibrant example.
Peter “now knee deep in the till” Mills has written an op-ed on his reason for running for Governor.  Mr. Mills wants us all to believe that he has been fighting all these years against fiscal irresponsibility.  Obviously, Mr. Mills thinks we all can’t read.  He forgets that Mainers operate on a concept foreign to liberal politicians like him…common sense.  Peter Mills, you cannot cover up your voting record.  It will show, Mr. Mills, that you encourage the liberal spending spree that has imperiled Maine’s financial viability for generations to come.  That is a pungent representation of horse pucky.  At http://www.meconservativevoice.wordpress.com there is a place for politicians like Peter Mills called Horse Pucky Hall.  If you can think of others that should reside there, please visit the site and nominate them for sentencing. I promise the judgment will be quick, fair and sarcastic.

Unfortunately for the President, the country is unifying against him not for him. As pressure mounts on the White House, its’ true colors begin to immerge. The administration has become more overt and clumsy in the application of Chicago thug politics. Much to the chagrin of all the Presidents henchmen, the rest of the nation is not so cowed by gangster politics as perhaps Illinois is.

Sporting the worst six month approval rating since World War II, President Obama has taken the shroud off his socialist agenda. Americans who could not before can definitely see the Marxism now. Both Democrats and Republicans are voicing their outrage at town hall meetings…. which is what…. Town hall meetings… are for…. I thought that was … what… they… were….?

Well, Nancy Pelosi thinks differently (in many ways). She expected the citizens to listen raptly, smile fawningly, and gaze in abject worship as they were “informed” of their new healthcare regime.

THE PEOPLE DIDN’T CAVE!! THANK GOD!! They acted like Americans. They stood up to their politicians and revolted against the Government. Patrick Henry would be so proud!

The Democratic Party’s’ response to the exercise of civil liberties was to call grandmothers, veterans, and other hard working Americans thugs, mobsters, and disruptive anarchists. The DNC reaction could be because it immediately suspects a replication of its own tactics or the party of liberals does not comprehend and utterly disdains the power of individual Americans coming together to stand against an oppressive Government. I think quite possibly both.

At any rate, the Democrats have banned all town hall meetings. Such a shame too… I was so looking forward to Rep. Michaud, Rep. Pingree, Sen. Snowe, and Sen. Collins coming back to Maine and explaining to all our mobster and gangster senior citizens how ObamaCare was going to cut their benefits. Now that’s entertainment!…. And so bi-partisan, too!

What Barack Obama has come to painfully realize is that, outside of Chicago, Americans disdain oppression. Americans despise hypocrisy. An administration that has occupied itself with the propagation of socialist lies now finds itself face to face with a nation that is shouting “Don’t tread on me!”.
