I’m Not Mel Gibson or Jimmy Stewart but …
Would it make more sense if I said I’m Not “Benjamin Martin”…… or “Charles Anderson”. The characters played by Mel Gibson / The Patriot and Jimmy Stewart / Shenandoah? As if the actual title isn’t too cryptic.
The characters – Martin and Anderson – were both fathers during major wars in American – The Revolution & The Civil War respectively. Both were adamant about their families staying out of those wars … but both men were inexorably drawn in when their sons became fatally involved.
Unlike those two characters … I have NOT been reluctant to become involved in the current “War” raging in America. …
But, I HAVE been reluctant to fully utilize This Page of my website to the war effort.
That is no longer the case.
Do not assume that because I have total contempt for Liberal Democrats, I must be “Republican – Conservative” whatever the hell that means.
I detest the wholesale corruption of “the political class” and its media cronies. All the corrupt scoundrels that profit from it whether “D” or “R”. Which are the most corrupt is a pointless argument.
I have hesitated to post commentaries that might be combative to ever how many of you are enthusiastic supporters of The Biden / Harris /Pelosi / Schumer Regime and of their policies. Whether you are simply a hapless victim of TDS – Trump Derangement Syndrome – or a true believer in a totalitarian state.
That too is no longer the case. It’s likely only a handful of you reading this fall into that category. Some do.
The Biden/ Harris/ Pelosi/ Schumer Regime – and its supporters – pose a serious threat to my grandchildren’s future. … I take serious threats “seriously”.
What is happening today to “America” – as it was founded and prospered for 250 years – is as diabolical as Hitler’s Blitz of London in 1940-41. Hitler’s expressed intent with The Blitz was to crush morale and break the spirit of the English people.
… Exactly the intent of the Biden / Harris / Pelosi / Schumer Regime regarding anyone who dares oppose them.
This website attracts a significant number of viewers. Only about 5% regularly post reader comments. If you come here to “escape” what is happening to America … you need to keep on looking for such a refuge from the storm. Good Luck!
As Benjamin Martin and Charles Anderson did turn their plowshares into swords, I am committing this website to The Cause. Will one more snowflake cause an avalanche … One more drop of water turn the tide? Probably not … but I can say I tried.
.
I started this site 20 years ago with the late Lewis Grizzard as a model. That is still my model along with a few others of lesser renown.
I intend to do More “Keep Your Fork” … and PDEW … and “Must Be Yankees” … and “Her Name was Cotton” … and “The Keys To The Gym” … and “Pier Fishing With My Dad” … etc. … More reminders of a less perilous time in America.
This website was intended for Entertainment Purposes. If I can also provide hope and a haven for those of you terrified at what is happening to America … I will not hesitate to do so.
If you have not checked out The Rush Chronicles … I recommend you do so. A dozen+ stories about two men who became acquainted by coincidence and remained friends. One gained International Fame & Fortune … and One had a radio show for 32 years !! GOTCHA!
OK … Now I can do that column on Professional Bass Fishermen … BobLee’s kinda guys.

With the current federal government, this country is doomed. It is only a matter of time….sadly not much time. Most of them are crooks.
It does appear to be The Perfect Storm for National Doom!
Best three sentences by far I’ve read in awhile……”I detest the wholesale corruption of “the political class” and its media cronies. All the corrupt scoundrels that profit from it whether “D” or “R”. Which are the most corrupt is a pointless argument.”
There are very very few “heroes” west of The Potomac … America has become a nation ruled by two groups of scoundrels.
I deplore the times we are living in, with the lack of fair-dealing leadership in our national, state and local stages. That being said, I am very thankful that we are living in times that we (currently) have access to the technology to communicate with like-minded individuals and educate ourselves and that we (currently) have the freedoms to use those tools to express ourselves and spread the word as best as we are able. I support your willingness to use every tool in your belt in order to do your part in correcting the problems. That is, attempting to change… Read more »
Chaos appears to winning that tug-of-war with Order.
Count me in. I have been loading up on Victor Davis Hanson and contributing to Hillsdale rather than NCSU. The scary thing is that with the left owning most of the news and virtually all of the education system, so many people will need to unlearn things they have been holding as true – so we need to recognize that as we attemt to enlighten.
You are NOT the only one leaving their alma maters for other less hostile places to donate.

A lot of sinister forces aligned against us … a real challenge to Save America!
Love it Bob Lee. Are you reading Dr. Seuss to your Grandkids ?
Funny you should ask! Blondie will be in Wiscy later this week … and ALWAYS does some Crazy Right-Wing Indoctrination on the sly. The Little Guys LOVE IT! “Little Black Sambo” and the Uncle Remus tales are a favorite!
Wait til they see Buckwheat, always one of my favortes with the Rascals
Bring it BL, as many people as possible need to have the truth presented to them.
Gonna upset a few … but none “that matter”.
So for the past 6 years, about this point in the news cycle, a fake news story would drop about DJT. What is it going to be this year? The royals can only hold our attention for a few days. At some point, the focus has to move back to those in charge, and which ditch we are driving off. . We have 2 massive obstacles in front on holding on to America: Cancel culture, and as you have put it, the HR people nowadays. We may still be a Silent majority, emphasis on silent. nobody wants to lose a… Read more »
At last I’m NOT hearing “It’s just politics as usual…” any more. The realization that THIS is a whole different level of THREAT to Our Country seems to be sinking in.
A similar discussion was had this morning in this household before I read this marvelous, outstanding, well stated column. Preaching to the choir here, so to speak. I am tired of the attempt at mind control which is occurring at this time by the social media set and our so call leaders. Now back to fishing or something fun! Have a great day!
Blondie and I both have now listened to CJ’s latest. He gets into the Social Media world … a first for Joe P. … He also sets up his NEXT one … Nate goes on The Warpath Big Time !!!
Downloaded it last night. Bad snow on Wed so will be reading!!! We should be opening up enough now that I just might get to visit with CJ if he resumes his book signings.
CJ is allowing The Family Pickett to age. Joe is now 52 … Nate however is ageless. Master Falconer’s are Eternal!
I miss the good ole days when you’d tell me what to think about our Heels. But, those days are gone as well. Things sure were more fun when that kid hit Send from Miami. Keep up the good work.
Yep … “When Marvin Hit Send” … a LOT changed. As much as when UNC beat Kansas in 1957 ????
“I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States of America against all enemies, foreign and domestic “. What part of domestic does not include anyone who wants to over throw our beloved constitution as written ?
I believe this includes the liberal Democrats, Antifa , BLM and etc. Now, I believe there are those in the senior leadership of the military that are just as guilty. Everyday it continues as it is, civil war may be the only answer to return to the constitution we love. I pray not ! Keep up the good fight.
You too, Scrap Iron!
I read Lewis Grizzard religiously for years. Loved his sense of human and overall “lore”. I have never felt like a republican or democrat, but lean to republican being conservative. Served in Nam so know the horrors and sacrifices of war. Like many I am frustrated, dismayed, shocked and worried about this country. I still keep wondering why the republicans don’t stand up to the socialist democrats. Everybody saying how worried and scared they are but do nothing. I can’t really recommend one representative in the house or senator in the senate I would vote for with a good conscience.… Read more »
I would say that Biden had little/nothing to do with “the hijacking of the election”. He was / is nothing but a hapless pawn for a much more sinister cabal of indeterminate composition … Obama, Soros, ChiComms, et al.
.
To paraphrase Patrick Henry … “I know not what course others may take, but as for me …”
Super! I’m thinking Casablanca with all those Patriotic quotes!
“Here’s looking at YOU, Fred”
Bring it! In a time when a song called WAP is celebrated as the best song of 2020 we need as many voices of reason to speak up and ask the tough questions about what we want to be and pray they reach the youngest generation and challenge them to choose what is right for them and their children. Ring the damn bell and I will share it!
That “Cardi B” (???) song being “honored” seems to have awaken a few more eyes to just how depraved much of American society has become. It didn’t happen overnight … nor will it be reversed over night … if at all.
I must admit that I don’t pay attention to the current acts and that I am very hard to shock. But I just looked up CArdi B’s song. I am appalled! It is a crime that we spend time talking about Doctor Suess when this kind of garbage is out there.
Please keep up the fight.
THAT did set a new level of OMG re: the moral decline of our culture.
I have lost count of the “friends” who now avoid me in the grocery store or anywhere outside the home who used to be good to see you peeps with a handshake due to my in your face comments on Facebook and elsewhere I go. Those go along get along friends I expect will not be seen at my funeral either. I do not care anymore. . My father and mother, like many others of my age fought an war, sacrificed much of their youth, and some lay buried on some hillside in Europe or some island in the Pacific… Read more »
There is a somewhat famous picture taken in a D-Day landing craft … a boatfull of 18-19-20 y/os in full combat gear headed to Omaha Beach. All of them preferring to be elsewhere but doing what circumstance deemed them to do. 90% of that first wave of troops never made it off the beach.
.
We don’t face such a dire likelihood. Losing a handful of “fair weather acquaintances” is Nothing. With such comparatively little to lose … How can we not Do What We Can Do with the tools / talents we possess?
Well said!
I am glad you have decided to take up your sword against this movement. We need all the gifted people like you to speak out. I have grandchildren also.
I have been fully engaged all along on Facebook … but tried to avoid using the BLSays Home Page. That will no longer be the case …
Good morning BL:
“For want of a nail, a shoe was lost…” All support can be critical.
Thanks for providing information and insight, while entertaining.
I was repeating that line about “nails” earlier this AM.
take a peek at the National Debt Clock website sometime. That’ll give you warm fuzzy…. keep up the good work!
IMO … maybe a dozen humans truly understand / care about The National Debt. The rest says “Oh yeah … that Debt Thing” and kick that can on down the road … sigh
