Posted on January 5, 2011 at 2:10pmHey Mr. Alexander Rae “Alec” Baldwin III…
Remember me?
We met in the summer of ‘93 in Prescott,
on the set of the remake of the great filmmaker/screenwriter Sam Peckinpah’s “The Getaway”.
I was the ‘cop’ who drove under the dumpster you & Kim were hiding in, as it was being lifted
to be emptied into the garbage truck.
I thought so then and I still think so now…
I remember how we chuckled at the irony of you being “type-cast” in that particular scene.
Kim…not so much.
And, we’re all still waiting for you to make your PCS (Permanent Change of Station) move if Bush got elected.
Well, Mr. Alexander Rae “Alec” Baldwin III, as I said…we’re still waiting…tick-tock, tick-tock, tick-tock…
But, that’s just MY opinion…

At least when the Poodle steals a snak, she KNOWS she’s been bad and hides out until the coast is clear instead of trying to bluster her way out of the charge.

Posted on January 5, 2011 at 8:27amTHE REPUBLIC IS IN CRISIS :
A champion of freedom, reminiscent of George Washington, will be necessary for the Republic to survive. This new leader must fulfill Ayn Rand’s definition of a “Radical for Capitalism” and will have to be a charismatic speaker to Garner the popular support required to save the Republic. At this time there’s no one on the national scene that fulfills these specifications.
Two personalities that show promise are Herman Cain and Marco Rubio. Both of these men are excellent communicators but they have yet to earn extensive public support or demonstrate that they are truly “Radicals for Capitalism”. Only time will tell if either of these men has the philosophy and the charisma to save the Republic. Perhaps someone, unrecognized today, will rise to the occasion. One thing for sure is that Alex Baldwin is not the answer!
Who do you think has the capacity to restore the Republic? http://commonsense21c.com/

Posted on January 6, 2011 at 1:43am@POLWATCHER – “Ronald Reagan came to us from a different age. In his day we had people like John Wayne, Bob Hope, and a lot of other great non-communist actors and entertainers. Today, the commies own Hollywood except for a notable very few..” Boy, you must be young, they all came from the McCarthy era when Joe McCarthy was holding hearings and getting actors, writers etc, banned from working because of “possible” Communist leaning – it was call the Red Scare. So you are very wrong about Reagan, Wayne, Hope and that era – parts of it were very scary with lots of hearings and lots of lifes ruined. http://wp.me/pYLB7-uK
