Dangerous Republican Ripe For Instant Arrest
There's at least one radical, right-wing "nut job" in Galveston - me! I should be a prime suspect in all anti-President Barack Obama propaganda.
Look at my record: I served my country in uniform for 12 years, from 1960, was a Merchant Marine for 15 years, am a Christian and voted for Wallace, Goldwater, Nixon, Reagan, Bush 1 and 2 and McCain.
I'm a member of the National Rifle Association, American Legion, Ducks Unlimited, the Better Business Bureau and Texas State Rifle Association.
I belong to Sarah Palin's official political action committee and contribute to her regularly. I believe marriage should be limited to a man and a woman, abortion is murder, 99 percent of politicians are crooked, lazy or traitors, and most couldn't give a damn about the people.
I despise everything the "Chicago mob" in the White House has done. We'd be better off under the mafia - at least everyone would have a shot at the "action."
If I were the government, I'd get me off the streets as soon as possible. At least in "Club Fed," I'll get three squares a day, which is more than most Americans will be getting after another year of this administration.

Thanks for creating another great post for Sunday morning. Have a great one today.
Thanks Katiejo --
I'm trying to find this guy's address so I can drop him a note. I just like his honesty and writing style.
Bill - I'm quite sure I don't agree with the lad, yet brutal honesty is appealing to me.
This writer is taking a big chance by tempting the "Chicago mob" to take him off the streets. The way things are going, they might just take him up on it...
My surrogate nephew, Mark Kelso, tells me his dad, Butch, pals around with this guy. He says Ralph is 100% real.
Brian has a thought....
