The “No Right Answer” Game by Russ Vaughn

I love the poetry of Russ Vaughn. I will only post it occasionally, but I will spread it to the world who may not know of him. It’s fabulous and worthy of recognition. So here’s a good one in light of the recent ‘Murtha’ events of the day:

The “No Right Answer” Game

Inspired by “ The Wrong Army,” by Jeff Edwards, USN, Ret., warrior and novelist

America’s forces have won all their wars,
From Revolution to war in Iraq;
And Lefties don’t point to the Vietnam War,
Where you stabbed winning troops in the back.
No, the truth is we win; we win time and again;
Done it time after time after time.
Doesn’t matter to you, ‘cause whatever we do,
We’ve always somehow dropped the dime.

To Lefties our generals just have to be wrong,
Wrong tactics, wrong weapons, wrong forces;
We’re the gang who somehow can never shoot straight,
To hear the mainstream media sources.
Just look at their headlines, view every day’s news,
With their blistering barrages of blame.
To warriors out here at the point of the spear,
It’s those losers’ “No Right Answer,” game.

In this lugubrious game loved by Liberal elites,
There’s just but one rule to enforce:
Whatever we do, in whatever war,
Must naturally be wrong of course.
There is no right answer, no matter what,
Even when our warriors are winning;
There’s always the sly implication we lie,
In the splenetic stories they’re spinning.

In peacetime they charge our forces too large
During wartime they squall they’re too small;
In peacetime they whine we’re spending too much;
But in war, “Where’s the armor for all?”
With consummate confidence they know what’s best,
Puerile pundits so smug and so smarmy,
Pontificate loud to their Liberal crowd,
That we once again have the wrong Army.

Pick a war, any war, or a period of peace;
Field marshals of the media are spinning;
If generals of journalism are so in the know,
Why are genuine generals winning?
So here at the front, harsh home of the grunt,
We ignore their attempts to defame.
The troops know the score, know what this war’s for;
They can stuff their “No Right Answer,” game.

Fair Tax Rally Highlights (VIDEO)

June 1st, 2006 at 09:00 by MsUnderestimated

Okay, in the words of our favorite ‘Neal,’ I’m waiting in “pregnant anticipation” for the Comcast video of the entire Rally to be recorded for me by a friend (I don’t have Comcast).

In the meantime, here’s something that Neal featured on his site today, produced and filmed by Craig Carden. I KNOW you will enjoy it. You can either go to Neal’s site and view it here (large video), or I have compressed it (lower res) for easier downloading and viewing here.

If this doesn’t get you pumped up, then you need to get your pulse checked! I implore you… KEEP THE FAITH! Never forget….

IT’S POSSIBLE!

Don’t forget to buy the book today!

Soldier Sez “SuperSize” My Wallet, Fat Boy! (VIDEO)

Oh, yeah… it’s about TIME someone called Michael Moore out on the carpet for his so-called “documentary.” And this time it’s a soldier, Sgt. Peter Damon; moreover a National Guardsman! You see, like a lot of the other facets of his mockumentary, Michael Moore made the story fit his template. And it made this soldier mad; mad to the tune of $84M!

Personally I think he should sue NBC, as well! They’re the ones who gave Fat Bastard the tape!

All I have to say is, I hope that some fat-cat attorney hears about it and volunteers to take his case. That would be a “win/win/win” - for the soldier, the “truth,” and the victims & families of 9/11!

Watch the interview from Fox & Friends here.
