On Saturday, January 21, 2012, information seekers on the Internet were treated to a double-header of experts giving a huge wallop to a couple of weasel-like liberal Democrats in a most deserving fashion.
As you may know, the GOP presidential primary held another debate on Thursday evening, January 19, 2012 which was moderated by CNN's John King, who was reduced from his kingly perch to that of a classless serf by the person whom he was attempting to intimidate, candidate and former House Speaker, Newt Gingrich.
GodfatherPoliitics.com's Giacomo on January 21, 2012, published an account of the classic put-down by the incomparable Gingrich, who is famous for reducing would-be attackers to sniveling dolts, by addressing the debate's first question of the evening from Moderator King's out of place query about a former wife's charges against the former Congressman.
As Mr. Giacomo stated, "King went after Gingrich, asking him about (a previous) wife and the accusations she has leveled against him. Fortunately, Gingrich was on his game and fired a salvo back at King, clearly letting him know that he was not going to allow the moderator to undermine his character" which the writer pointed out was made with the obvious intent of destroying his personal character.
Speaker Gingrich has been known to blast those who have tried to belittle or besmirch his reputation of actions with a withering retort that left the accuser fumbling for an appropriate response, most always failing.
The article by GodfatherPolitics.com was accompanied by a video of the exchange by the two verbal dualists showing the absolute shock and humiliation on the face of John King, the ill-prepared CNN commentator assigned the task of moderator for the debate.
Writer Giacoma ended his article by saying that "He (King) clearly was not professional in his actions or manners and should never be allowed to moderate a political debate again."
I couldn't agree more.
Switching from John King, the unfit liberal elitist of the Mainstream Media, to another intemperate unprofessional that casts most of his uncalled-for remarks in the hallowed halls of the U. S. Senate, the crotchety Majority Leader, Senator Harry "Extreme" Reid, (Lib-Dem NV); we are treated to another classic slap-down by a first-termer Congressman putting the irascible and testy Senator back on his heels.
In a report by Dustin Stockton - Western PAC on the same Saturday, January 21, 2012, the rookie Congressman, Allen West, (R-FL) responded to Senator Reid's typical and boring remarks blaming the Tea Party and in particular, the recently-elected representatives of being "extremists" and "obstructionists on steroids."
Reid's personal lexicon of chastising words appears to be extremely pint-sized and limited to mostly just two words, 'extreme' and 'draconian' a sort of 'cover all situations' library. His recent use came while criticizing the Republicans and Tea Party participants for, as Dustin Stockton details, "attacking us for simply saying 'no' to endless government spending.
As Stockton points out, however, "Luckily, we have leaders like the freshman Congressman, Rep. Allen West, who responded to Reid this week, saying "Reid's attack shows how threatened he is by our (Tea Party) movement, and that he will stop at nothing to continue his party's reckless spending habits.
"This past Sunday on Meet The Press, we saw Senator Harry Reid talk about people being obstructionists. We saw him blame the Tea Party, we saw him blame Senate Republicans. He's even blamed House Freshmen on the Republican side.
"But what Harry Reid does not understand simply, the constitutional conservative grassroots movement called the Tea Party stands for this, they stand for fiscal responsibility, they stand for fiscal sanity. And the American people have to balance budgets in their homes. Our small business owners have to balance budgets to run their businesses. So obviously what Harry Reid calls obstructionism as I look at it, he stands for fiscal irresponsibility. He stands for fiscal insanity!"
Dustin Stockton continued, "Like Rep. West, we are proud to be considered "obstructionists" by those who seek to bankrupt our nation. But make no mistake: Harry Reid won't be satisfied with just attacking us in the media."
Reid's personal venom extends to any measures, no matter how unprofessional or otherwise that will stop the reelection of the Tea Party first year Congressmen who put our country's needs first and foremost on their agendas.
As my readers have noticed that in the past I have not endorsed any of the candidates; I kept looking for a strong conservative but the only one that had appeared was Michele Bachmann who did not wage a favorable campaign and dropped out.
Newt Gingrich's positions on the illegal immigration issue have been, to say the least, unclear most of the time. But his aggressive stance when threatened with possible "dirty" politics by CNN's John King showed me that here was a man that will stand toe to toe with Barack Obama and when the going gets tough in a debate over fiscal responsibilities and other constitutional obligations, he will land the knockout punch without delay and retire the usurper in the White House.
Gerald A. “Jerry” McConnell, 92, of Hampton, died Sunday, February 19, 2017, at the Merrimack Valley Hospice House in Haverhill, Mass., surrounded by his loved ones. He was born May 27, 1924 in Altoona, Pa., the fifth son of the late John E. and Grace (Fletcher) McConnell.
Jerry served ten years with the US Marine Corps and participated in the landing against Japanese Army on Guadalcanal and another ten years with the US Air Force. After moving to Hampton in 1957 he started his community activities serving in many capacities.
He shared 72 years of marriage with his wife Betty P. (Hamilton) McConnell. In addition to his wife, family members include nieces and nephews.
