'Unilateral Capitulation': Tini Tyrants We Love To Suffer.

by, Mark Baker



In response to a thread I'd posted a while back concerning yet another dumb statement by Obama, a young staffer of a candidate I'm supporting (who we'll refer to as 'Herb' for the sake of annonymity), posted two simple words to convey his disgust with Obama: "Unilateral Capitulation!"

'Wow,' I chuckled to myself, those are a couple big, powerful words, however I thought such grand statement might be better reserved for something REALLY big in life. Thus I responded with this: Herb, one day, you'll find yourself sitting at a messy, food-splattered table facing a little mini Herb, or Herb'ette (chuck-full of God-Given Autonomy); using 'intangable skills' that you could have never attained in college, you will, through long-suffering patience overcome the stubborn definance of that little package of dynamic will-power, and watch them chew and swallow their first green bean. WHEN that day comes, I hope you'll remember this prediction by me, smile, and exclaim: "Unilateral Capitulation Achieved!"

'LIFE' Herb, you'll find, will present you with many joys and sorrows, rewards and regrets. But when your kid eats their first Green Bean, or Rides their first bike 50 feet without falling over... Those are among the sweetest of moments!

If you doubt the validity of my prediction, share this with any 'Dad' and see if he doesn't break out in laughter because I'll GUARENTEE you that he too has sat at that same messy table, patiently confronting that same little automotonic force.

Notes: That cute little bundle above is my 2nd born-son James Russell Baker; I can assure you that he was just as precocious and stubborn as he was cute. Today, he's a strapping 23 year old and I'm not sure how he feels about eating Green Beans as an adult? lol

Take Heart in the Strength of the Growing Family of Freedom.

by Mark Baker


As I tried to 'catch-up' on FaceBook the other night, a reality slapped my face. Read these threads ladies and gentleman and TAKE HEART. Pause to consider for a moment the nature of our united passion... FREEDOM.

Now realize that we, on these threads, are but a microcosm of a much larger body of like-minded, freedom-loving, Constitutionalists, all of which are finding each other incrementally. We ARE far larger in number than are our enemy. We need to cognate on these facts and draw upon each others strength and the synergy of the ever-expanding family we find ourselves.

Just as the 'Bully' from our childhoods' always seemed bigger than they really were, and light-bulbs tend to burn brightest right before they burn out, as do stars before their super-nova wherein they collapse in upon themselves, leaving a black hole. So too is the natural end of tyrants. The only variable in these events, is the amount of damage they're allowed to wrought in relation to the in-action of their opposition. Those being in this case, we, the children of FREEDOM.

I attended an event last week where I listened to several of our fellow brothers and sisters of freedom, black, white and Hispanic, share their passion and dedication to the work ahead of us. I smile now as I write, and I'll sleep at ease tonight, because I'm surrounded by millions just like me; who are girded with Wisdom in their Mind, Freedom in their Heart, the Constitution in one hand and the Means to Defend all three in the other. Many battles lay ahead, but in the end Victory Shall Be to those who Breath Free.

Press On!

Mark Baker's Secret 'CTSDN Strategy for Success: 'Change That Shitty Diaper NOW!'

Gen. Claude Balls endorses Mark Baker's CTSDN Strategy:


"Much like the US Navy, my love-life was 'Half Mast and Sinking Fast' before I learned-of and deployed Mark's CTSDN Strategy. Now, by simply changing one or two of little Buff's poopy diapers a week, my Scarlett often greets me at the door wearing nothing more then my leather Bomber Jacket and a coy smile. Last week in fact, after an exceptionally knarly engagement of mutual shock & awe, she pinned my Master Missile Badge into my bear chest and exclaimed in a near-spent voice. 'Well Done My Commander, Well Done!' In short, my SITRIP on CTSDN is that it's a powerful Force Multiplier and Mark's Strategy is at least 20 years ahead of anything the Russians are using!"

-General Claude Balls,
Air Force General, Commander-In-Chief: Strategic Air Command


As is the case with all men (the exception being those sad souls born with an extra 'X' Chromosome who grow-up to be liberals or worse), we at some point pass through that 'unique' stage in our path to reason and maturity which forges us into men. In my personal case, that process included 'molding' through the exposure to the fire of life's realities including participating in Scouting, Sports, Military Service, as well as some 'unique' passages, such as dealing with what had to have been 30,000 dirty diapers from the butts of my three great sons -and in fairness to my ex-wife, may have contributed to her needing to leave after 14 years of marriage to "find herself." In honest reflection, I have to admit that I only dealt with maybe 1 in 20 of those nasty packages (actually I remember 'deferring' all the really odious ones her way! So not only can '20-something' males be a bit overbearing at times, but when it comes to equality in dealing with 'baby-exhaust issues,' down right jerks)!

Wow, at 48, this admission by me, to borrow a favorite phrase of doofy Joe Biden, is "a Big F%$#ing Deal!" In doing so, I've betrayed one of the MAJOR secrets of the male brotherhood (I won't get into 'Selective Hearing,''Faux Sleep,' or other deeply-held male secrets here, which I pledge to take to my grave).

In our world, there exist's 'Ism's'of all shape, size and merit, or lack thereof, but for the purpose of this writing, I'm going to focus on 'True'ism.' Here's some examples of Mark's True'isms of late: reject outright about 97% of anything any Democrat says; test the motivation of any Republican office-holder; scratch your head as to WHY Sarah is stumping for RINO-Supreme, McCain?; continue to avoid the Kool Aid (of all flavors); eat less, exercise more; if something smells really odd or funny with a politician, always follow the money; and more importantly, if something smells really odd or funny with your KIDS BUTT, do your wife a favor and JUST CHANGE IT!*

*NOTE: -Sorry pal, you're married now, so that cool Nike motto, 'Just Do It' doesn't apply to you anymore. In what is perhaps the new century's most ironic twist, Tiger Woods' last major sponsor to not bail on his philandering-ass is NIKE, with it's "Just Do It" motto. God DOES have a great sense of humor indeed.

Trust me on this one young fathers out there, if you want to get laid more, I'm pretty sure that the act of brave, pro-active engagement of shitty diapers is the Holy Grail Secret that trumps roses, un-solicited dish-washing, dispatching of scary: bugs, mice, bats, snakes, etc.; and if you find yourself DEEP IN THE HOLE BUDDY, and need the benefit of 'Exponential Suck-Up Dynamics' (were talking stuff that will garner you between 20 to 50/1 returns!), than you need to understand and unleash the power of my exclusive 'CTSDN Strategy,' which is simply an acronym for my CHANGE THAT SHITTY DIAPER NOW formula.

Fellow men, hear me now; for the wisdom I share with you is as timeless and true today as it was back in 'Kirock's' time when he learned the value of removing 'dingle berry's' from the hindquarters of little KoJo and KeLava in order to win the favor of his lifelong cave-mate, Koolhot-Ma. It's no accident that the fact is, women on average, live SEVEN years longer then men! There are many contributing reasons for this, but primarily due to our trying to figure out how to keep them happy. We usually fail because of the fact that we are by and large 'Tri-Wired' beings: Eat, Sleep and have Sex, whereas women are by and large 'Infinitely-Wired' beings: Talking, Shopping, Working, Cleaning, Talking, Shopping... well, you get my point.

Additionally, ever since women learned how to read, our 'Life-Clocks' started their countdowns because they love to read stuff like Harlequin Romance Novels and works from that traitor, Nicholas Sparks, who spins yarns that no man can possibly live up to, and thus only further stacks the deck against us. Then there's Oprah and her damn Book Club endorsements of destructive 'Self-Help' and 'Psycho-Babble' books such as 'Women are from Venus, Men are from Mars.' Just more fuel for the fire set to see our failure through their lies; for Women may well be from Venus, but we MEN are from Cabela's, not Mars!

Don't just take my word for it, but read for yourself, the endorsement at the top of this page of Air Force General Claude Balls, who's utilized my CTSDN Strategy to successfully re-invigorate the sex life of he and his wife, Scarlett (see same at top of this article).

If you're a typical young father between say 21-34 and have seen a severe decline in your 'love-life,' my CTSDN Strategy can help you quickly restore the 'play' to your game! In fact, Changing a shitty diaper is a 50-1 equivalent to mowing of the lawn, taking-out of the trash, or bringing-in ALL the groceries! The CTSDN Strategy pays between 30-49/1 equivalent to Vacuuming the house without being asked; changing the Kitty-Litter, policing-up pubic-hairs in the bathroom, or remembering to leave the seat-down at night.

Finally, for those of you who are 34+, you better be changing 75%+ of any nasty diapers pal, because there's a shelf-life in 'Cougar Country!' Any of you cats over 50 trying to ply your 2nd or 3rd wives; my CTSDN strategy WILL NOT WORK for you and would be a waste of time. Your only hope is to ply her with a large bank account, alcohol, or Viagra (or all three in some 'blond' cases).

The power of my CTSDN Strategy establishes a *Proven Scientific Fact: If you will change shitty diapers, you WILL get laid!

*Based on Finnish Governmental Studies Conducted by the University of Halstinky, FN.

Mark's Disclaimer: For any of you who suffer from a low degree of humor, please know that I wrote this with my tongue firmly planted in my cheek. However, the crux of my postulation, though packaged in a humorous wrapper, IS based on absolute fact that I and many other intelligent men who breath through our nose HAVE validated personally. In my past, I HAVE experienced a real, true Cause & Effect Relationship between a willingness to help out with nasty diapers and getting 'rewarded' for said behavior. Try it and see for yourselves...

Press On,

Who's Afraid of a little Tea Party? Everyone, fortunately.

by, Kevin O'Brien



For many a year now, officeholders of both major parties have worked hard to earn the distrust of ordinary Americans. It appears that they finally have succeeded.

If only ordinary Americans hadn't been so inattentive. If only ordinary Americans hadn't been so trusting. If only ordinary Americans hadn't been so damnably nice, the country would be in a better position to manage its finances today.

But when have Americans not tried to look for the good in every situation? When have we not been slow to recognize the need to deal with forces, foreign or domestic, aligning against our best interests?

Better late than never, a lot of ordinary Americans are waking up to the sobering reality that there really is no one they can trust. Not Democrats. Not Republicans. Not government. Not corporations. And certainly not corporations in league with government.

Hallelujah.

The people who are angry today are more in tune with this nation's founders than ordinary Americans have been in decades.

The United States has an intricate system of checks and balances, and a government structure based on a separation of powers, and a Bill of Rights that safeguards the rights of states and the rights of the people precisely because the greatest collection of political talent and philosophical insight ever assembled on this continent -- and maybe anywhere on this planet -- looked at the concept of government and said, "We need to make a really small cage for this thing, then be careful not to overfeed it."

We seem to have lost the care-and- feeding instructions about a century ago. We let government out of its little cage and it has been consuming everything it can lay its paws on ever since. In the last 45 years, it has been on a real binge, and in the last year and a half, it has taken bigger bites than a lot of people thought possible.

Ordinary Americans who care about freedom are finally getting a clue and -- horrors! -- they're hollering at members of Congress. That's right: Nice, trusting, formerly inattentive Americans are getting in the faces of the political class and calling them names.

Big (Joe Biden expletive deleted) deal. If members of the political class are too tender to endure a little well-earned rudeness from the people whose hard-earned money they like to "spread around," then they ought to get out of politics. Maybe their successors will find the voice of the people less irritating.

A very, very few ordinary Americans are going so far as to threaten members of the ruling class with physical harm or property damage. That's not fine.

All that does is damage the cause of the people who are loudly but peaceably petitioning their government for the redress of a growing list of very real grievances.

It also allows politicians on the left, including a president who now taunts opponents of his new health care law every time he speaks, to cast themselves simultaneously as victors and victims.

Finally, threats from the right allow the left to lump every proponent of individual liberty, self-reliance, limited government and limited government spending -- the Tea Party movement, in general -- in with nuts who might actually do some harm.

Don't doubt for a second that the left is hoping desperately for someone to step all the way out of line. They thought they had their man -- and early news reports said they did -- when Joseph Stack crashed his Piper Dakota into an IRS building in Texas.

As it turned out, Stack proved to be a Marx-quoting lefty -- the wrong flavor of nut.

So the left has to settle for a little name-calling of its own: "ignorant," "racist," "homophobes," "hooligans," "extremists." The list, as you know, goes on and on.

It's bunk, but it's the script.

Tea Party folks are just patriots worried, with good reason, about the future of the country they love. They're vocal and they're inspiringly unaffiliated.

They scare the hell out of both political parties, because they've embraced distrust.

The Democrats fear them because they see through the left's empty promise of utopia in exchange for freedom. The Republicans fear them because they're pushy and because they're loyal to their principles rather than to a party.

They make everyone uncomfortable. That's healthy.

Conservative African Americans Stand-up to 'Democrat Plantation:' Frederick Douglass Would be Proud.

Black GOPers in Dixie Congressional Races

By Hastings Wyman
Southern Political Report

March 30, 2010 —

At least seven African Americans are running for congress as Republicans in the South this year. If one or two of them get elected, along with African American Ryan Frazier (R) in Colorado, there could be a nucleus of black elected officials to help the GOP make inroads in the black community in the future. Although a number of Dixie’s Republican statewide candidates in 2006 sought and received a larger-than-usual share of the black vote, that trend disappeared in 2008 in black voters’ enthusiasm for Barack Obama’s presidential bid.


In the post-Obama era, many in the growing black middle and upper-middle classes might find it in their interest to support fiscally conservative policies; in addition, many of these voters hold relatively conservative social views, consistent with many in the GOP. This potential trend, if it develops, could offer the GOP an opportunity to – for a change – expand its base. Having two or three African American Republicans in Congress would certainly be a boost to this effort, probably more so than having African-American Michael Steele serve as chair of the Republican National Committee, which can easily be dismissed as window-dressing.


Most of the black Republican candidates have impressive backgrounds – professionally and/or politically. State Rep. Tim Scott (R-SC) spent 13 years on the Charleston County Council. Deon Long made law review at the University of Michigan Law School before practicing law in Winter Park, Florida. Les Phillip in Huntsville, Alabama, is a graduate of the US Naval Academy. Angela McGlowan in Oxford, Mississippi, was a Fox News analyst before launching her congressional bid. And Lou Huddleston in Fayetteville, North Carolina, retired from the Army as a full colonel in 2003 and has since been both a civic and business leader in the district.

Moneywise, unlike most black Republican congressional candidates in the South in past years, some of today’s contenders are proving successful at rounding up cash. As of the end of 2009, West had raised $1.2 million, Phillip raised $364,000 and Huddleston $122,000. Scott is also expected to do well in the financial battle; he scored a coup last week when he won the endorsement of the Club for Growth, an influential fundraising group that backs conservative Republicans. New financial reports, for these and the other contenders, should be available by April 15.

Probably the most likely winner among them is Tim Scott (R) in South Carolina’s 1st District (Charleston, etc.). In 2008, Scott was elected as the first black Republican member of the state’s legislature since the Reconstruction era. (An historical note: If Scott is elected, he would be the second black Republican to represent this area in Congress; the first was US Rep. Robert Smalls (R), who served five non-consecutive terms during the late 19th Century.) Scott will have to face nine other candidates for the GOP nomination in the June 8 primary, but he is heavily favored to get a spot in the June 22 runoff, possibly with Paul Thurmond, son of the late US Sen. Strom Thurmond; Carroll Campbell III, son of the late Gov. Campbell; or Stovall Witte, former staffer to retiring Congressman Henry Brown (R). In the General Election, the Republican winner will face one of two Democrats, but the district is favored to stay in GOP hands.

Despite this year’s more-promising-than-usual black Republican candidacies, most are underdogs. Allen West in Florida’s 22nd District (Boca Raton, etc.) is a former Army lieutenant colonel who retired following a 2003 incident in which, to obtain information, he fired a gun near an Iraqi prisoner’s head. West is in a tough district for a Republican, but he did get 45 percent in 2008, a Democratic year (Obama got 52 percent here). The NRCC has put West in its “Young Guns” program for promising challengers, but he is up against very well-financed freshman Ron Klein (D), who had $2.3 million on hand at year’s end. This looks like a Republican year, however, and there are always upsets. Watch this one.

Les Phillip in Alabama 5 (Huntsville, etc.) has been pulling in good money, but he spent most of it raising his war chest and at year’s end had only $66,000 on hand. The leading fundraiser in this race has been freshman US Rep. Parker Griffith, who switched from D to R earlier this year, and is the frontrunner for a spot in the runoff. Before Griffith switched, the NRCC had been high on Phillip’s candidacy, but – as is its practice – got behind Griffith when he became a Republican incumbent. Phillip has been successful in business and previously served as the Alabama GOP’s minority outreach chair. Either Phillip or County Commissioner Mo Brooks (R), with high name ID, is expected to end up in the runoff with Griffith. Wayne Parker (R), who got 48 percent against Griffith in 2008, has just endorsed Brooks, which should give him a boost. But as one Alabama insider commented, “There’s a lot of baseball to be played yet” before the primary on June 1 and the runoff on July 13.

Lou Huddleston is making a serious bid to win the Republican nomination in North Carolina’s 8th District (Concord, etc.). After a promising fundraising start, however, his money effort stalled. But he is on the NRCC’s “On the Radar” program; watch his numbers in the 1st Quarter 2010 reports. Huddleston has three primary foes, including well-funded Tim D’Annunzio (R), who raised $372,000 by year’s end, supplemented by a loan of $250,000.

The other African-American Republicans are not expected to be competitive this year. McGlowan, aside from entering the race after other candidates had been campaigning for months, suffered a serious blow when a past TV interview surfaced in which she supported gun control. In Arkansas ‘s 1st District (Jonesboro, etc.), Princella Smith, a former aide to US Rep. Joseph Cao (R-LA) and other Republicans, does not appear to have the political heft back home that a successful race requires; moreover, she is running in the May 18 primary against radio station owner Rick Crawford, who has been endorsed by former Gov. Mike Huckabee (R) and former US Rep. Asa Hutchinson (R). And Deon Long is competing with nine other candidates to oppose freshman Suzanne Kosmas (D); many of the other GOPers have more money and more political muscle.


None of the African-American Republicans can depend on significant support from mostly Democratic black voters in the GOP primaries, although those who get the nomination might break into the black vote to a limited extent in the General Election. The problem for black conservatives is that their political agenda is not widely popular among other African Americans. According to news reports, the Congressional Black Caucus (CBC) is disturbed by President Obama’s lack of progress on programs to help African Americans; however, the CBC solution would be to favor an expanded government role, not the limited government conservatives, black or white, espouse. And in the longer run, if some black voters, like many Catholics in the post-John F. Kennedy era, become more open to the GOP, occasional clashes over civil rights issues, such as the recent controversy over North Carolina’s Wake County (Raleigh) school board’s discontinuance of its diversity policy, could still encourage a wide gap between Republicans and African-Americans. Nevertheless, a significant change in American racial and partisan politics could begin this fall. Stay tuned.

LEGISLATION ACTION ALERT: STOP Michigan House Bill 5952.

by Mark D. Baker

A dangerous bill has sponsored by 12th District Democrat Representative, Rashida Tlaib. Her Bill, HB 5952, can't be mistaken as anything but another internal attack on Michigan as it, if passed, will effectively de-criminalize two Felony Categories in Michigan law.

If 'We the People' take action, with the help of concerned, dedicated elected representatives, such as Rick Jones here, we can STOP this Bill and other such attacks on our Great State. Call me simple, but the Air Force taught me that when one encounters a dangerous snake, the most efficient thing to do is kill it, not dance with it. Let's get behind Rick to help him Kill this Snake of a Bill.

Again, the Bill in question is Tlaib's HOUSE BILL 5952 which she formally introduced on March 12 this month. 5952 is an example of 'an act against the state,' in that the crux of the proposed measure ultimately calls for a language-change to Michigan's Worker’s Disability Compensation Act of 1969, which for 41 years since it was made law, states:

'Michigan employers are required to pay injured employees roughly 80 percent of their normal wages for a specified period — UNLESS THE EMPLOYEE CANNOT WORK BECAUSE OF IMPRISONMENT OR COMMISSION OF A CRIME.'

Talib wants to amend the act to specify that “commission of a crime” does not include “alien’s working without employment authorization or an alien’s use of false documents.”

READ CLOSELY the degree to which she slickly attempts to twist and manipulate the common langauge: 1969 Law: '...because of imprisonment or commission of a crime,' into Talib's: "aliens" (people here as illegal tress passers), "working without EMPLOYMENT-AUTHORIZATION (Oops, you lack the necessary Green Card, or Work Visa that LEGAL IMMIGRANTS {who respect and abide-by the LAW} OBTAIN through our standing Immigration Process), or an "aliens" (here again, in actuality a Criminal Trespasser) "use of false documents" (eg. FORGED CRIMINAL PAPERWORK).

So in summation, Ms. Representative Tlaib's Bill seeks to decriminalize two felony crimes -Felony Trespass, and Felony Fraud- AND actually REWARD these felons 80% of their wages should they get injured at work!

Concerned Citizens can track this steaming pile of legislation here: http://www.legislature.mi.gov/(S(b2l4q5ynniw5m455yt2ajc55))/mileg.aspx?page=getobject&objectname=2010-HB-5952&query=on

I also encourage you all to call Representative Tlaib's office (yes, the one WE'RE paying for) at: 313-297-8800 and share your desire for her to withdraw her 'Felony Forgiveness Bill' immediately.

Lastly, if you'd like to learn more about Rashida Tlaib, you can here:

Final Note: Contact your State Representative and Senator and let them know that you want them to alert their fellow constitutents about this odious bill and have them call Tlaib's office to voice their feelings.
