“…Sticks and stones may break my bones but names will never hurt me…” (Unknown)

Possible Republican/Bagger presidential hopeful Newt Gingrich described on the conservative radio talk show The Howie Carr Show, President Barak Obama as "a Harvard, Columbia, University of Chicago elitist from the most expensive private school in Hawaii, who lives in an elite, radical worldview in his head.” Mr. Gingrich a man who places self service above ethics truth or morals is always at the ready to call names hoping that those who hear his harangue need no more than deceit and lies upon which to base their reality and for whom they will cast their ballot.

Mr. Gingrich is a clever man and carefully chooses his name calling only using the best slurs ones that will resonate with people who fear anyone different then them. He can marry three times but call the LGBT community destroyers of the values and glory of marriage. He can cheat on his wives commit adultery ruin his own family structure destroying any values gained and scream to the public that Gays only have children so they can destroy heterosexuality and the Christian way. And like a bully he smirks as he walks away and readies himself for the next victim and onslaught of name calling. And he wants to be President of the US. And there are people who listen to his every word ignoring his hypocritical deeds. And people who will vote for him.

“…if you can’t be with the one you love, love the one you’re with…” (Stephen Stills)

Possible Republican/Bagger presidential candidate, Reverend Mike Huckabee isn’t quite sure how much hate he must muster in his Christian heart. As a man of God he understands that all of us are Gods children but as a man with personal presidential political aspirations he understands that many of his congregants, who profess Gods love, love to hate using Gods imaginary image. The Reverend Huckabee is torn not from his conscience but from his considerable appetite to win an election at any cost and making sure someone loves him.

Using the same mouth to preach Gods graces, reverend Huckabee stated, during a radio interview that "one thing" he was sure of was that President Barack Obama grew up in Kenya "with a Kenyan father and grandfather." If Americans know anything about Kenya it would likely be that it was home of the Mau Mau, a secret society and fighting force that faced off against the British in the 1950s. The Reverend then went on associating Obama with the Mau Mau and that was shameful. Continuing to vomit lies the Reverend added Obama did not grow up "going to Boy Scout meetings and playing Little League baseball in a small town." Obama is "not a traditional guy," and that he's had a "different experience" from the "mom and apple pie" upbringing of most Americans. The man of God overlooked the truth that God stands for to get the love from a bunch of people who need assurance that how they hate has the favor of someone so close to God. And like a teenager wanting to be accepted by the popular kids saying and doing whatever it takes to be accepted the reverend Huckabee lets go of the truth and grasps to ghoulish gaps of reality. And he wants to be President of the US. And there are people listening to his every word ignoring his fabrication and falsehoods. And people who will vote for him.

“…smiling faces, smiling faces tell lies, and I got proof…” (The Undisputed Truth)

Possible Republican/Bagger presidential hopeful Michelle Bachmann a self proclaimed US History and Constitution Scholar was speaking to a crowd of fans in New Hampshire saying. "What I love about New Hampshire and what we have in common is our extreme love for liberty," the congresswoman and potential 2012 presidential contender said. "You're the state where the shot was heard around the world in Lexington and Concord. And you put a marker in the ground and paid with the blood of your ancestors the very first price that had to be paid to make this the most magnificent nation that has ever arisen in the annals of man in 5,000 years of recorded history."

That shot "heard around the world" actually took place in the bordering state of Massachusetts.

When finally admitting she made a mistake she never admitted it was her lack of education that caused the mistake but instead she insisted "We all know that there's a double standard in the media," she continued, before claiming that "all 3,400 members of the mainstream media are part of the Obama press contingent."

Patriot Bachmann who swears she is redder, whiter and bluer than most Americans, who also swears, she is a scholar of the intentions of the authors of the Constitution and decipherer of American history, has also stated the following: The Founding Fathers "worked tirelessly until slavery was no more in the United States."
-- The United States might "move off the dollar" onto a "global currency"
-- Democratic presidents cause influenza outbreaks -- The "Hoot-Smalley Tariff" caused the Great Depression. (There is no such thing as the Hoot-Smalley Tariff).

When Patriot Bachmann is approached as a fool with no lack of fact she immediately lashes out using terms like double standards, you misunderstood my intentions, it’s a conspiracy against me, and you fear me. She never admits to inadequate education, her need for facts, and the fact that as an elected official in the Federal Government it might behoove her to understand the complexities of this nation to better govern for her constituents. And like a fevered patient riddled with pain Patriot Bachmann unleashes inaccuracies, innuendo, and egregious commentary never finding fact but leveling fiction. And she wants to be president of the US and there are people listening to her every imaginary statement. And people will vote for her.

“My country tis of thee, sweet land of liberty…” (Samuel F. Smith)

This is America and we are a nation that encourages opinions, debate, points of view. We are a democracy and we pride ourselves in inclusion, involvement and consensus. We are a country that speaks loudly about equality (albeit many times it is only words), freedoms and liberty. But when we hear the voices of Newt Gingrich, Mike Huckabee, Michelle Bachman, creating falsehoods, saying do as I say not as I do, omitting fact for fiction just to get the vote I wonder if all we ARE will finally change to all we WERE? When these Republican/Bagger contenders for the office of President confuse the meaning of God, the separation of Church and State, the mangling of fiction to be fact, the bragging about bigotry as a platform from they should be elected I worry. I could write these individual off as extreme self serving foes, but when I see the throngs of people who listen who will vote for them I worry.

So what song do we sing next?

“come out, come out wherever you are...”

There is a boogie man under the bed and in the dark recesses of the closet; he/she is waiting to pounce upon us. Sticks and stones can hurt, loving the one your with only excludes others and smiling faces sometime do tell lies. How many lessons do we have to learn over and over again in this nation of ours?
