A bunch of foolishness in this post. Great to hear from you again. I need a laugh.

Thanks Alex for this and all your other foolishness.

Great followup post B.T. Finely crafted as well.

I don't remember the Hustler. I was never a Jackie Gleason fan.

B.T., you are firmly the Walter Mitty of my age. I can't keep up though I endeavor to compete.

I really love the stuff that your mom and dad told you as they molded the real Bobby Tony. Good stuff.

Great analogy B.T. I did not know any of that.

I think anyone that takes stand against real injustice feels that way about that song.

Remarkably, I have not heard of any of these pseudo "social justice warriors" taking this kind of a stand, using this iconic song to symbolize the taking of a real stand against real injustice.

Weirdly, I was considering the Trumpster and Tom Petty, so I played "I Won't Back Down" for the first time. Simple construction so that a novice like me can pick it up quickly, but a great tune nonetheless. Just a few chords: Em7 D Cadd9 G, I count four in this version.

And it is so strange that we can remember at least pieces of that script and what film it was from before we search it online.

"I coulda been somebody, instead of a bum."

B.T., thanks for doing all these finely crafted memorials about musicians' lives once they perish from this Earth. I think both of us have a more visceral connection to them than we do any other form of entertainers.

Ditto on Bowe Bergdahl ... and why did Obama try so hard to make him out to be a hero. I believe on a very apparent level Obama identified with his drive to just give up ... no matter the costs.

Me too. I can't imagine how difficult it would be if I was rich and famous.

I did like the film Platoon, and JFK had its points, but sometimes Oliver Stone seems bit lost. I'll check out the variety post.

I just checked out the post. I sure hope the former Playmate will emotionally recover from the boob beep-beep. It had to be so humiliating to be so objectified.

Let me tell you who has some real problems - Bill O'Reilly.

Don't you think that Oliver Stone had a hand in this?

I love that one.

My wife complains on occasion: "You are not the man I married."

I answer: "Lord knows, I hope not."

Well said, and your wise Christian mother, today, would be the exception not the rule. I wish you would write more about her witticisms of goodness.

I wish I could be more like your mother.

In my 18 years as a county commissioner as a Conservative /Libertarian in a mostly Authoritarian county, especially around the county seat, I had to learn to fight for what is right, truly right; not my opinion, but what is absolutely right.

That may be why Trump is really growing on me.

No, the Left goes straight to "'R' Word".

Maybe, they are the RACISTS(!).

I really don't know who the RACISTS(!) are, but, they are not Bobby Tony, Stan Deatherage and John Kelley.

Regarding the "Empty Barrell" analogy:
Could the mighty Left be right, and confirm what many had already suspected?
Plato was a RACIST(!).
Bill Shakespeare was also a RACIST(!), that is widely known. His "Othello" was just a mere dramatic forerunner of "Amos and Andy" - the classic comedy from those that were also RACIST(!).
Still, it is rumored that Lightning once pontificated, "Beeesst jooobb I eevver haaad Kinnngfiissh." My heart broke for Lightning's dramatic future for he not only lost his beloved job as the lovable, hapless janitor, but was forever typecast.
The same problem occurred for Bill Shakespeare's Othello. Never worked again.
I say, the RACISTS(!) were to blame.

Bravado for the Boys in Grey and Butternut.

After all I know now, I would not change a thing. Your father raised you well.

Outstanding post Bobby Tony. I can hear the strains of Gene Autry singing in the background of those two Rebel Boys high atop that horseflesh.

George Washington was a great man, and a wise president; starting this nation off on the perfect foot.

Remember how "Crazy George" did not back the French against the British, when we were too weak and ill prepared to do so.

We would have been most wise to follow the George Washington blueprint in Viet Nam, when Ho Chi Minh and his band of Communist patriots threw the French out of Viet Nam. It would have saved the lives of nearly 59,000 young Americans; not to mention how the horror of that war wrecked so many lives of those that made it home.

Yes, "Crazy George" was a wise president.

Today, as we learn that Bowe Bergdahl pleaded guilty to desertion while in a combat zone, after repeatedly pronounced a national hero by Barack Hussein Obama, and on multiple occasions by his right-hand-woman Susan Rice, who, stupidly, gave up 5 high level Taliban terrorists in exchange for the deserter, I am reminded just how ridiculously bad a president can be.

As President Trump struggles to clean up the unconstitutional mess of ObamaCare, the idiotic Iran Deal, and the neglect of North Korea as they work to aim their nuclear tipped missiles at America, I am encouraged that we now how a real, working president elected by real Americans, knowledgeable Americans.

That's a bingo B.T.

It is pure comedy to watch how Liberals try to reconcile stuff outside of their limited precept range; their stereotypical boxes of possible understanding.

Agreed B.T.

When the federal government learned how to borrow from Social Security, there was honor left among these thieves.

Hopefully, this program will begin to help America deal with its underskilled workforce in the technical curriculums rather than teaching folks how to better utilize WordPress, Facebook, Instagram and Etsy.

Hey Alex, I appreciate well your sentiments ... both ways.

I think those of us that well know the history of this Republic would have to all agree on this one truth: His Excellency, General George Washington was a bit of a badass.

Commented on Systems Breakdowns

Well, the 32 member governing body had better learn to govern the university system, or be replaced. North Carolina's University System is in shambles. Administrations at most, if not all universities are poor managers of resources, and have a terrible time adhering to principled standards, while many college professors are far overpaid and pathetically under qualified to teach.

Changes in the American and North Carolina education system will need wholesale attention, and the sooner the better. Our Republic depends upon a better educated public, and right now, far too many students are wasting the best of their lives caught up in the overly funded education industry.

Perfectly said, and as of a few months ago, I damn well earned mine too.

Well said Fellow Patriot.

But, also, you make a fine point about the systematic numbering of our collective person.

Commented on Our Civic Ignorance

I could write a strong manual on what constitutes suffrage in these states united.

Chief among policies is that we "suppress" all voting of non citizens and dead citizens.

Well, of course.

The Email debacle broke so many laws, and broke many more to it cover up, I believe that it will be the next Watergate, and many in the insipid Democrat Media know it too, but dare not admit it.

After all of her bad behavior post election, Trump and other Conservatives will not let her off the hook, not now. This cannot continue: Two sets of laws for all Americans.

Interesting. So, the time to deal with a compliant Ho was in the late 40s, early 50s, and the Deep State screwed us again.

I watch Clapper and Comey and Brennan, and I see their web of exposed lies, and I can not fathom how the Liberals /Socialists are still rallying around them as if they are the last holdovers of those "great Obama years".

Even I am stuck on stupid, or they are. There is no inbetween.

I swear B.T. You are so true about the "rules were quite clear back then".

Do you remember that being a real man meant something? It meant that you were on the team, part of the tribe; a tribe of patriots-in-training.

The opacity of the Deep State that I refer to is that we could have had Ho Chi Minh eating out of our hand. Ho loved America, and was our staunch ally in WWII.

The Deep State kept cables from Ho to President Truman secret from the President. They probably did that because they knew that they could not control him.

What if Ho, who was a national hero in 1946, became our natural ally again. All America would have had to have done was ease France out of Viet Nam.

FUBAR.
