On the Election of Lee Greenwood

Or how the neoliberal tactics of Texanomics came to North Carolina.

Fred Smith is much like our current president who gathered the trappings for success as a youth, but according to his book, A Little Extra Effort, stumbled at life and business before finally achieving success. As a lawyer and land developer, he is the ultimate Raleigh insider. Like Bush in TX, he relies upon his faith and its trappings as the answer to the social ills of hunger, mental illness and homelessness. As with his first Wife, he uses the immigrant to grow wealthy, but abandons them as they become problematic.

Fred Smith is a mediocre man. His arrogance does not lend itself to friendship. Fred understands this and so has purchased one for the campaign. Turning up the sycophant factor to 11, yokels have eagerly offered a donation to be in the room when Greenwood belts out the impossible lie of God Bless the USA.

I'm proud to be an American, where at least I know I'm free.

Hey clueless, the Chi-Comms hold all our T-bills and the banks are being gobbled up by Sovereign Wealth Funds. One holds us by the nose while the other kicks us in the ass. Another tax and fed rate cut does not even address the problem. You've been Machiavelli'd nearly to death. But your stupid old Momma and Daddy loved Ronald Reagan and Lee Greenwood, so you're gonna vote for Fred.

To the thirty percenters, this pageant makes perfect sense. BushCo rapes the world for fun and profit and Fred Smith does the same to Raleigh and Johnston County.

A song and a bbq plate will get you elected in Johnston County. It remains to be seen whether patriotic treacle and prayer will get it done for the GOP in NC.
