While American Sniper keeps setting box-office records, Michael Moore continues rants against it. He was the first to speak out against the film on Twitter last week by calling snipers “cowards.”

 

Pondering how far from reality Moore’s comment was brought back memories of Bill Cosby’s early routine about American history, which began like this: "Suppose way back in history if you had a referee before every war, and the guy called the toss. Let’s go to the Revolutionary War."

[Referee speaking] "British call heads. It’s tails. What do you do, settlers? . . . Settlers say that during the war they will wear any color clothes that they want to, shoot from behind the rocks and trees and everywhere. British team must wear red and march in a straight line."

And since, Cosby’s routine was almost precisely the way that war was fought, if Moore had been around back then he’d likely want to give America back to the British due to cheating by the patriots. 

Back on January 25th, and several other times in the past two years, I’ve mentioned Scott Walker as an example of what the nation needs as a president. Especially because he not only talks a good game, but he’s played one as a highly successful Republican Governor of Wisconsin, a blue state that’s had a Democrat governor for the 30 years before him.

 

Then, yesterday Rush picked up on that same theme, as follows: “

 

Scott Walker has shown the Republican Party how to beat the left.  Scott Walker has the blueprint for winning and winning consistently and winning big in a blue state with conservative principles that are offered with absolutely no excuses. The left, the Democrat Party, threw everything at Scott Walker trying to destroy him.  They did everything they could.  He not only withstood it all, he survived and triumphed over all of it.  They broke rules. They got close to breaking laws. They were threatening his family personally, and he remained undeterred.”

 

Rush added, “And Scott Walker is one of the men who has shown everybody how to defeat the unions and their policies, and it's always been amazing to me that he, in terms of the party, has basically been operating in a bit of a bubble all by himself.”

 

An example of what Scott Walker said is, “There's a reason we take a day off to celebrate the 4th of July and not the 15th of April. Because in America we value our independence from the government, not our dependence on it.”

 

And, “We weren't afraid to go big and to go bold.  Maybe that's why I won the race for governor three times in the last four years.  Three times, mind you, in a state that hasn't gone Republican for president since I was in high school more than 30 years ago.  You see, I think that sends a powerful message to Republicans in Washington and around the country.  If you're not afraid to go big and go bold, you can actually get results.

 

"We've cut taxes.  We reduced taxes by $2 billion for the hardworking taxpayers of our state.  In fact, we lowered taxes on employers, on individuals, on property.  Our property taxes are lower today in Wisconsin than they were four years ago.  How many governors can say that?  We're gonna keep lowering taxes because we understand it's the people's money, not the government's money.”

 

However, one of the key points, if not the most important, is that Governor Walker possesses something that almost every other Republican candidate does not. Huge success in a current position that prepares him for the presidency. Because all that has-been's and wannabe’s can offer is endless talk, promises and theoretical prophesies.  

 

Which brings us to another major mistake made by the current administration, whereas according to Fox News.com, the “army has decided to charge Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl — who was released by Taliban-aligned militants last year in exchange for five Guantanamo prisoners — with desertion.” One more glaring example of governmental ineptitude beyond comprehension.

 

In closing, I can’t write about the next item or today’s entry would go on for another two pages. So here’s a link to an interesting story from Drudge: REVEALED- Russian oil company tied to U.S. 'green' effort.

 

That’s it for today folks.
