(Edited in accordance with ACLU guidelines.) Posted here for: 12-20-04. With Xxxxxxxxx lights twinkling and merry, And turkey and sauces cranberry, - - - On this Xxxxxxxxx day, - - - I'm anxious to say A Xxxxxxxxx wish quite customary. Posted here for: 12-13-04. They earnestly try to pretend They just didn't know, "'til the end". - - - But what gave them bulk - - - And made each a hulk, Did not come from Wheaties, my friend! Posted here for: 12-6-04. There simply is no explanation To justify such exploitation. - - - Corruption and greed - - - Became U.N. creed. It's time to "burn" Kofi's plantation. Posted here for: 11-29-04. He said that the move to relieve him Was mutual; it would not grieve him. - - - He'd gladly step down - - - With nary a frown. But, why, pray tell, should we believe him? Posted here for: 11-22-04.

Posted here for: 10-25-04. What color is the USA? The lib'rals want it red: A communist dictatorship, when all is done and said, A government all powerful, where people must comply With faceless bureaucratic whim, and never question why. What color is the USA? The eco-nuts say green, Where Mother Nature's master, and we can not intervene, Where pigs and pups and people all are viewed as all the same, Where policy decisions all are made in Gaia's name. What color is the USA? Some racists would recite That any color would be fine, except the color white. For whites, espec'lly men, are bad, exploitive, evil, mean. They are a blight upon the earth: oppressive and obscene. What color is the USA? The sodomites say pink, They want to spread perversion quite untethered, don't you think? They've no respect for marriage, none, nor even family, For nothing trumps their passion and their promiscuity. What color is the USA? Elitists want it blue, The color of the U.N. flag, that's what they ballyhoo, With unelected governing and tyranny worldwide. This choice for these United States would be pure suicide. What color is the USA? Some, yellow, they would choose. For they would hide from danger and they'd run from threat'ning news. They demonstrate much more concern for perpetrators who Attack, and are the scoundrels, than the victims, me and you. What color is the USA? I say: red, white, and blue! In step with all the principles our Founders knew were true. This is a grand republic (not a mere democracy), Where equal treatment under law is this land's guarantee. But many wish to change our stripes and dump this country's ways, And now embrace new values, which will number freedom's days. These folks they are not patriots who lead us off our course. They're terrorists, make no mistake; they are an evil force. Posted here for: 10-18-04. He didn't expect he would fail When he told his scandalous tale. - - - His biggest mistake: - - - The memo was fake! So why isn't he now in jail? Posted here for: 10-11-04. The CBS folks had a plot To take at George Bush a pot shot. - - - This time they were caught. - - - But, wait, here's a thought: Just how many times were they not? Posted here for: 10-4-04. A little kid so long ago with trepidation looked Upon his future and his fate; how would his life be booked? He saw a world of treachery; so lacking, in his view, Of values that this parents taught, he wondered how he'd do. Can truth, within a sea of lies, prevail against the tide? Can righteousness withstand an evil river, deep and wide? How can the game of life be played -- moreover, can be won -- When you observe a set of rules so many others shun? But now that "kid" looks forward with a fearfulness anew, For now his kids and grandkids, they must face that question, too. But over intervening years the moral climate slips. Can they endure the challenge? Can they fight apocalypse? The moral battle rages. Daily it intensifies. With good or evil standing as the hard-fought-after prize. Each generation comes to face depravity and sin And chooses to oppose those forces, or to let them win. Posted here for: 9-27-04. The John Kerry/John Edwards slate Is characterized by a trait: - - - No positive plan -- - - - Not from either man -- Just anger and venom and hate. Posted here for: 9-20-04.

There once was a fellow named Kerry, A liberal guy (I'll say! Very!), - - - Who'd flip and then flop - - - (He just couldn't stop). He wants to be prez. Now, that's scary! Posted here for: 9-6-04. The wind I can no longer bear. It causes dismay and despair. - - - I'm not talking Frances - - - Or twisters in Kansas, I'm talking John Kerry's hot air! Posted here for: 8-30-04. The animals that I did see -- I saw a multiplicity -- Were great and small and in between, And made a most delightful scene. The elephant, and ostrich, too, The hippo, rhino, even shrew, Giraffe, and croc, and running hare, The buffalo; they all were there. Safari is a thrill for me, To witness nature's majesty, But I am shocked on my return At what I find and what I learn. You see, with Kerry's henchmen strong, Who shilly-shally all day long, And with their frantic fibbing flair, There's much more lyin' here than there! Posted here for: 8-23-04. The lib'rals have banned Freon, too; As killing off folks they pursue. - - - When food's not preserved, - - - The poor are ill-served, And many, with death, rendezvous. Posted here for: 8-2-04.

I didn't see it in the Times; I'm sure it isn't true That Bush has some successes -- yes -- and Rumsfeld, Cheney, too; That economic news is good; his tax cuts did the trick; That terrorism must be fought -- a fight that's tough, not quick; That Kerry has a lot of friends, but they're our enemies; That he won't take an action if it won't the U.N. please; That Senate votes he's made would leave our military weak; That what he said of Vietnam was treason (so to speak). I didn't see it in the Times; I'm sure it couldn't be That there is massive bias in the printed words I see; That Clinton was a wretched prez: a flop, a grand disgrace, But Reagan was colossus: in the sun he's found his place; That scientists apenty say the global warming "goal" (This hoax contrived by lib'rals) is to give them more control. I read the paper front to back. I do it faithfully. The Times is good and decent -- they would never lie to me. Posted here for: 7-12-04. He was our commander in chief. His scandals were beyond belief. - - - He's written a book -- - - - A most-wordy look At himself, but pray tell, where's the beef? (No, I haven't read the book, and I do not plan to do so.
