#84 Obama:Seniors A Burden, Panther Story

FREEDOM'S VIGIL: The elecion of Obama will move the United States toward a universal health care system. There is a shortage of doctors and nurses presently. With universal health care, 50 million more people will expect to be served by these same doctors and nurses. Since the left is made up of so many irrational, unloving people, let me point out the obvious as they won't: Obama's health care system is not going to serve everyone. There will be rationing and worst, there will be a target population, the senior citizens, who will be denied expensive medical care. If you think that Obama will not just let you die with no medical care, look at his videotape in Illinois when he was a state senator. For four years he oppossed a bill to give medical care and love to babies who survived abortion attempts and were born. These babies - American citizens with all the rights that you and I have - were being put into back rooms until the cold and lack of milk and care killed them.
For four years Obama stood against a bill that would simply allow people to love and care for these brand-new American citizens. He wanted them to die. The excuse his despicable sychophants have offerred is that there was already a law to protect these children. But that law had so many loopholes in it that babies were still dying of neglect. Obama said to let them die. I heard him say on the videotape that it would be an "undue burden on doctors and mothers." Shouldn't doctors treat their patients and mother love their children at least enough to make sure they didn't die? Obama will let you die too, fellow seniors. We will be "triaged" right out of expensive medical care because Obama and his like will see us as a burden on the taxpayers. The medical care will go to younger people, including even illegal aliens, because they are working and paying taxex. If you're crazy or filled with hate for others and yourself, vote for Obama. If you have love for others and yourself, vote for John McCain.
PANTHER STORY:
The Colorado beauty asked her sister to go back to their rooms and find out where they saw the dead black panther. When the sister did not return, the lovely lady left to find out what was going on. I waited fifteen minutes, but she did not return either. Probably, I should have known better, but I decided to check out her story anyway. I did not want to obsess that I had missed a chance to see a black Florida panther due to laziness. I return to our room, got Jon up, and to his great displeasure, drove to St. Marks on the Gulf and then to the outskirts of Tallahassee. There we found the "black panther." He was a big, black dog lying on the side of the road, obviously killed by a vehicle. There was still time enough to go back to the club and hunt for deer or hogs.
On the way to the hunt club, I called the editor of "WOODS 'N WATER," a hunting and fishing magazine out of Perry. I wanted to find out why my column had not been published for the second consecutive month. After the editor, Patty Pudding, tried to smooth things over with me, I asked her about black panthers. She replied," The Game Commission says we're nuts, but there are black panthers. I've seen them as a child on the ranch."
"I don't want to ask how old you are,Patty, but how long ago was this?"
"Forty years."
"Well, there were no imports back then. No one had the money back then to bring in exotics."
"It's funny you say that because one night years ago, I was coming back from Tallahassee and saw a cougar on the highway. It wasn't black; it was tawny. No one would believe me. They said I was seeing things. Then news came out that ----, oh! I can't think of his name! He had a lot of money and a big ranch. He had cougars in pens, and one had escaped. That was what I saw that night."
Apparently people in the Perry area found in unbelievable that one would see a tawny, not black, panther.

#81 Obama Toasts Terrorist, Panther Story

FREEDOM'S VIGIL: Mommy's Boy Obama has been caught - videotaped, no less - with his hand in the terrorist cookie jar again. It happened when he attended a dinner-party in 2003 to honor, repeat, honor, the spokesman for the Palestine Liberation Organization, the PLO, which is a terrorist organization that has taken the lives and limbs of many Americans and Jews. The terrorist spokesman was Rashid Khalid, and he was such a good friend of the Obamas that he used to baby-sit their children. Also attending the dinner-party were two other terrorists who had used bombs to kill Americans in America, including two policemen in Boston. These two terrorists were Obama's friends, Bill Ayers and his wife, Bernadette Dohrn. Later in the dinner, the PLO terrorist was toasted. If it has friends who are terrorists; if it goes to dinner-parties for terrorists; if it toasts terrorists; then it must be a terrorist or at least a terrorist-lover. So what say you, Obama? Or do we care what he says since actions speak louder ( and more true ) than words? The "Los Angeles Times"has the videotape of Mommy's Boy Obama attending this dinner-party for a terrorist. But they don't want to make it public. You, honored reader, need to do what you can to demand that the newspaper release the video. At least talk it up to everyone you speak with. The grass-roots is going to have to win this election because McCain has not shown any intensity until the very end of the election.
Remember, "Crazies on the left, and wimps on the right." Give yourself permission not to be a crazy or not to be a wimp. Be rational and bold too. Vote for Jon, The Patriot. No votes for terrorists or terrorist-lovers!
THE BLACK PANTHER STORY: One Saturday night toward the end of December, Jon and I got a motel room in Perry, Florida so we could hunt the next day at the hunt club.
We did not sleep well and did not get up early to go hunting. While Jon slept, I decided to partake of the "free" breakfast at the motel. While there, I started a conversation with a very attractive and shapely blond. Her high cheekbones reminded me of an old girlfriend in Virginia, Melissa Ware, who was part Indian. I learned that this young woman was from Colorado and with her family was visiting her father's relatives in Perry. Her mother, who was from France, had tried to live in Perry after she married, but was unable to adjust to Florida's stifling heat and oppressive humidity. Her husband and she had moved to Colorado. By now, I was asking almost everyone I met if they had seen a black panther and was very surprised when the Rocky Mountain beauty replied, "My father showed us one yesterday. We were coming back from St. Marks and Tallahassee. It was dead on the side of the road. Let me get my sister to go back to the room and ask my father where it was."

#30 Black Panther Story, Freedom's Vigil

I mentioned the black panther, and the clerk immediately introduced me to another worker, a young man named Jan. Jan said, "I worked with the magays (small, spotted cats found in the dense tropical forests from Mexico to Argentina) for four years. So you're studying ________ (he reeled off the Latin name)? I don't see why there can't be black panthers, particulary since it's a big cat ( Jan was mistaken here, for the panther is not a big cat because it supposedly doesn't roar). The lions and tigers have both black and white individuals. There are some black leopards. The margays have black individuals. I'm back here in Gainesville trying to get into graduate school because I saw what was happening in Costa Rica during those four years and wanted out. I want to go to Indonsesia or Malay and study the ____
(again the name slipped through my memory untouched) That will be far enough away so that it's not spoiled."
I asked him if he knew David Maehr and his book " The Florida Panther." "Yes, I know him. I read his book but didn't finish it. I met him at a cat conference in Costa Rica."
"What's he like?"
"He's quiet, nice, introverted like biologists are."
"The Game Commission people down here say that the everyday people who see black panthers are crazy," I remarked.
The first clerk who was listening to our conversation, scoffed, "Game Wardens down here are police officers!"
Jan agreed, "The Game Commission is mostly enforecement. Researchers don't go into the Game Commissions."
I told him I would like to talk to him some more, and he was agreeable. Jan gave me the name of his adviser at the University of Florida and urged me to call him.
FREEDOM'S VIGIL: I have finally read something that makes me a little less worried about Obama: Fred Siegel's critique of Freddoso's book, "The Case Against Obama."
I learned that Obama wanted to be mayor of Chicago, a dying, corrupt, Democratic city with the highest sales tax - 10.25 percent - in the country. The ambition to be be mayor could be the reason Obama attached himself to such sleazy but influential men as Bill Ayers and Rev. Wright. Mr. Siegel wrote, "He (Obama) simply cultivated the people he needed to cultivate in order to climb the greasy pole of local perferment, giving beautiful speeches along the way."
You have seen how Obama threw his friends like the white and American hating Rev. Wright and the unrepentant bomber Ayers under the bus by repudiation and minimization respectively. I have heard that Michelle wears the pants in the Obama family, and I believe it. We should know why she isn't proud of America. But Mr. Siegel says the most positive thing I have read about Obama: "A man so drawn by his own star is likely, if elected, to throw over his old allies (think of Rev. Wright) in pursuit of new goals." The positive thing about that is the possibility that Mommy's Boy Obama may be attracted to the masculine, paternal character of the generals and admirals in the staffs that advise him as the president. Generals and admirals will be more patriotic than the bomber Bill Ayers and the white hater Rev. Wright.

#79 Black Panther Story, Freedom's Vigil

I called Reed, and he said he saw the black Florida panther in the late 1960s not recently as Wayne thought. Reed then related the event to me: " I was dragging that Tink's 69 behind me, and I kept hearing little noises in back of me. I saw a low limb on a tree and climbed it. I got about ten feet off the ground. The black panther came right up to the tree. I had my rifle barrel pointing right at him. I could have touched him with it. I told myself that if he looked up at me, I would shoot him. He weighed 100 to 120 pounds and was in good shape. I will remember it forever. But he didn't look up and went down the trail in the direction of my buddy. It sure put the hair up on the back of my neck. I stayed up in the tree for quite a while to make sure he was gone. Then I came down, found my buddy, and went to a nearby fire tower where I told the people there what had happened. They called three or four game wardens, but the game wardens said I was crazy."
In a few days, I received a brochure from the Panther Survival Project. The phamplet stated: "There is no documentary evidence of a 'black panther.' DNA testing shows no gene for melanism in the Florida panther." I planned to ask David Maehr about the veracity of that statement.
The only so-called professional ( I say that because professionals have to earn a living usually, and unfortunately there are almost always politics involved in earning a living.) to support the idea of the existence of a black Florida panther came unexpectedly while I was shopping for thermal underwear for Jon at Brasington's in Gainesville. I saw an old picture of a huge, drugged tan panther with a triumphant couple holding the panther. The man was athletic looking, and the blonde woman very attractive. I asked about the picture, and a clerk replied, "Oh, that was taken back in the seventies when _____ (I forgot the name immediately as always) was doing some work on them." (To Be Continued)
FREEDOM'S VIGIL: I hope you are picking up the double-speak of the Obama campaign. We saw some of it when John McCain halted his presidential campaign to work as a Senator back in Washington, D.C. to try to resolve the bailout question. Obama then called him "erratic." If McCain were more intense about his campaign, he would respond, "If Senator Obama wasn't needed back in Washington, why was he elected Senator? He is now the leader of the Democratic Party. Why doesn't he go back to Washington and try to lead America out of this financial crisis? Is he more concerned about his campaign than America?" This question can still be asked, and would be a perfect potshot for Sarah to make. Let's change the saying, Crazies on the left; wimps on the right!

#78 Black Panther Story, Freedom's Vigil

BLACK PANTHER STORY: I asked Wendy if there had been anything exciting happening, and she replied, laughing, "I almost stepped on an eight foot alligator!" I told her, "I've been talking to David Maehr at the University of Kentucky on the telephone. He wrote a great, little book, 'The Florida Panther.' It's about when he worked for the Florida Game Commission and the experiences his team had catching, examining, treating, and radio-collaring panthers over a period of nine years. I heard that game wardens were telling people who had seen black panthers that they had actually seen black jaguarundi. I told David about it, and he just laughed, saying that the closest jaguarundi were in parts of Texas."
A couple days later I listened to some of our telephone messages at the house, and it sounded like a Reed Allen had returned my calls. Reed was the man who was hunting the Lake Butler Game Management Area near a landfill when he kept feeling he was being followed. He was dragging a rag drenched in Tink's 69 Doe-In-Heat liquid scent. He was trying to attract a big buck and mask his own scent. Reed kept looking over his shoulder and turning around to see if anyone was behind him. Finally, he got so apprehensive that when he saw a big live oak tree with branches characteristicallly close to the ground, he climbed the tree and waited. In about ten minutes, a black panther cautiously approached the tree. He was obviously following the Doe-In-Heat scent trail. The big cat went right up to the tree Reed was perched in. Reed could have touched him with the barrel of his rifle. The panther sniffed the side of the tree, but probably since deer had never climbed trees in his history or the history of his predecessors, he did not look up. Instead, the cat preceded along the trail Reed had been walking. I was told this story by Wayne Cox who was the State Of Florida Turkey Calling Champion for five years. Wayne told me this account at The Deer Stand, a sporting goods store in the city of Alachua, where he worked. Wayne thought the incident had just happened.
FREEDOM'S VIGIL: We had a McCain-Palin sign up at the paved highway, but in a couple of weeks, the sign was stolen. It was probably the work of our neighbors from hell. We used to have a nice little sign up at the road that gave our address with an arrow pointing down our lane. Our house number is not in order with the other house addresses so that little sign was very helpful. Probably our malicious, drunken neighbors tore that down too. I have noticed that three McCain-Palin signs have been destroyed in areas where there was a lot of foot traffic by blacks and Hispanics. Friday, I was waiting for my order inside at Burger King in Gainesville, and two tall blacks wearing University of Florida tee-shirts were looking at my McCain-Palin cap and making comments. Due to my shot-out ears, I could not tell what they were saying or I'd have said something back.

#76 John McCain, Say You Will Investigate!

Dick Morris is right: John should have said at his last debate with Obama that if he is elected he will investigate for any criminal activity the Wall Street executives and the Congressmen involved with the financial meltdown. He does not have to say that these Congressmen were Democrats. Dick Morris said this would focus the great anger Americans feel about the 70 billion dollar bailout on the people who were involved in it instead of the Republican Party. To me, it is more important that the leader of our country have the integrity and energy to call for such an investigation. Obama isn't going to do it because Democrats were involved in it, and he got the second-most money from Fannie Mae in way of campaign contributions. You have tremendous anger by Americans about what has happened yet neither one of our Presidents-to-be proposes an investigation! Talk show host, Michael Savage, is right. It is unvelievable. Obama and his party are dirty; that's why he's not calling for an investigation. But what is John's problem? Is it once again the fact that he has no ideology? Do you even have to have an ideology to know that if you are running for president and the country is fighting to avoid a financial meltdown, you, of course, call for an investigation and promise that you will pursue any criminal charges if you are elected? How can something so simple, so strong, not be seen by McCain? Is he not doing it because his campaign manager, Frank Davis, is a Fannie Mae man himself? Is McCain going to lose this election to hide the truth about his campaign manager? I thought it was "Country First," John. Let's get it done, John McCain. This is probably your last chance to pull out a victory. Already some of the Democratic pundits on Fox are saying you are going to lose so badly that you will be a national disgrace. Don't do that to America and yourself. You know the saying - "Crazies on the left, and wimps on the right." Prove them wrong. Announce that you as president will launch an exhaustive, but fair investigation on the CEOs and the Congressmen involved in the financial meltdown to see if they did anything criminal. If they did, you will prosecute. Do it now, John!
