IT IS FASCINATING to watch people walk up to Ground Zero Mosque Issue and take a verbal swing at it … only to get stuck to it forever. If there was ever a time to “dodge” an explosive political issue, the Ground Zero mosque is that time. But, amazingly, people have weighed in on the controversy and now they are “stuck” to the issue forever. Obama’s comments lecturing us on a Friday night that “people have the right to worship anywhere” (duh, I didn’t know that, did you?) and now Pelosi jumping in to “investigate the funding for people who are against the GZ Mosque.” And while they try to “educate us” … it seems they missed a lesson from long ago. It simply shows these folks ‘jis ain’t to smart’ as they think … ‘Ol Uncle Remus could have taught them a thing or two.

“DIDN’T the fox never catch the rabbit, Uncle Remus?” asked the little boy the next evening.
“He come mighty nigh it, honey, sho’s you born—Brer Fox did. One day atter Brer Rabbit fool ’im wid dat calamus root, Brer Fox went ter wuk en got ’im some tar, en mix it wid some turkentime, en fix up a contrapshun w’at he call a Tar-Baby, en he tuck dish yer Tar-Baby en he sot ’er in de big road, en den he lay off in de bushes fer to see what de news wuz gwine ter be. En he didn’t hatter wait long, nudder, kaze bimeby here come Brer Rabbit pacin’ down de road—lippity-clippity, clippity -lippity—dez ez sassy ez a jay-bird. Brer Fox, he lay low. Brer Rabbit come prancin’ ’long twel he spy de Tar-Baby, en den he fotch up on his behime legs like he wuz ’stonished. De Tar Baby, she sot dar, she did, en Brer Fox, he lay low.
“‘Mawnin’!’ sez Brer Rabbit, sezee—‘nice wedder dis mawnin’,’ sezee.
“Tar-Baby ain’t sayin’ nuthin’, en Brer Fox he lay low.
“‘How duz yo’ sym’tums seem ter segashuate?’ sez Brer Rabbit, sezee.
“Brer Fox, he wink his eye slow, en lay low, en de Tar-Baby, she ain’t sayin’ nuthin’.
“‘How you come on, den? Is you deaf?’ sez Brer Rabbit, sezee. ‘Kaze if you is, I kin holler louder,’ sezee.
“Tar-Baby stay still, en Brer Fox, he lay low.
“‘You er stuck up, dat’s w’at you is,’ says Brer Rabbit, sezee, ‘en I’m gwine ter kyore you, dat’s w’at I’m a gwine ter do,’ sezee.
“Brer Fox, he sorter chuckle in his stummick, he did, but Tar-Baby ain’t sayin’ nothin’.
“‘I’m gwine ter larn you how ter talk ter ’spectubble folks ef hit’s de las’ ack,’ sez Brer Rabbit, sezee. ‘Ef you don’t take off dat hat en tell me howdy, I’m gwine ter bus’ you wide open,’ sezee.
“Tar-Baby stay still, en Brer Fox, he lay low.
“Brer Rabbit keep on axin’ ’im, en de Tar-Baby, she keep on sayin’ nothin’, twel present’y Brer Rabbit draw back wid his fis’, he did, en blip he tuck ’er side er de head. Right dar’s whar he broke his merlasses jug. His fis’ stuck, en he can’t pull loose. De tar hilt ’im. But Tar-Baby, she stay still, en Brer Fox, he lay low.
“‘Ef you don’t lemme loose, I’ll knock you agin,’ sez Brer Rabbit, sezee, en wid dat he fotch ’er a wipe wid de udder han’, en dat stuck. Tar-Baby, she ain’y sayin’ nuthin’, en Brer Fox, he lay low.
“‘Tu’n me loose, fo’ I kick de natal stuffin’ outen you,’ sez Brer Rabbit, sezee, but de Tar-Baby, she ain’t sayin’ nuthin’. She des hilt on, en de Brer Rabbit lose de use er his feet in de same way. Brer Fox, he lay low. Den Brer Rabbit squall out dat ef de Tar-Baby don’t tu’n ’im loose he butt ’er cranksided. En den he butted, en his head got stuck. Den Brer Fox, he sa’ntered fort’, lookin’ dez ez innercent ez wunner yo’ mammy’s mockin’-birds.
“‘Howdy, Brer Rabbit,’ sez Brer Fox, sezee. ‘You look sorter stuck up dis mawnin’,’ sezee, en den he rolled on de groun’, en laft en laft twel he couldn’t laff no mo’. ‘I speck you’ll take dinner wid me dis time, Brer Rabbit. I done laid in some calamus root, en I ain’t gwineter take no skuse,’ sez Brer Fox, sezee.”
Here Uncle Remus paused, and drew a two-pound yam out of the ashes.
“Did the fox eat the rabbit?” asked the little boy to whom the story had been told.
“Dat’s all de fur de tale goes,” replied the old man. “He mout, an den agin he moutent. Some say Judge B’ar come ’long en loosed ’im—some say he didn’t. I hear Miss Sally callin’. You better run ’long.”
Patriot’s Flag Note: Like dat tar baby, dat ol’ mosque propty it jis sits dere and says nuttin, it jis watches. If deys fo it or if deys ‘genst it, deys gits stuck da same. But Ol’ Brer ‘Bama an Sisr p’losi an a whol bunca uder folks, dey all keeps ona yellin’ ’bout it and dey all keeps gettin’ it stuck to ‘em mo’ ‘n mo’. Brer ‘Bama he even gots a fist n’ a foot stuck to it now. Kinda’ like ‘ol Brer Rabbit ‘n dat uder tar baby s’long ‘go. As da autor o dis blog, I duz spectate dat Tar Baby Mosque’s gonna’ have more politicians stuck to it than fleas on an ol’ hound. Deys all gonna’ own a piece of it in da’ end. An dat tar be tuf to rub off.

The Bottom Line
The “fallout” is expanding: It’s not just about the Mosque any more, now it is about Obama’s personal religion coming into question and Peolsi’s sanity. No matter what Obama says … he gets “stuck” more to the controversy, not matter what Pelosi says (now she’s doubled down) she is associating herself with something 75% of the American Public DO NOT AGREE WITH. Ah, but keep swinging away folks, that’s why the tar baby is “there.”
“So what’s all this racist stuff you are putting on your blog, Doug? ” Ah spoken probably by one of 90% of the people who were never blessed to have a parent read them small treasures, written by Joel Chandler Harris, when they were a child. These little stories were read to us over and over, and the lessons they left on our minds are strong-enough to be remembered for a lifetime … I’m living proof, I remembered this one almost three-quarters of a century later! So we are talking about powerful lessons, but alas lessons today’s politicians either never studied or simply forgot. The “dialect” is a little hard to read, but if you “say it” rather than “read it” … you get the feeling that Ol’ Uncle Remus is in the room with you.
The best source of these little stories I’ve found are at the Uncle Remus Bookstore. They have 35 stories there, and many of you, who have never encountered Uncle Remus should take JUST A MOMENT and go there and read at least one. Look “into” it for the lesson … it’s as deep as Alice in Wonderland and thoroughly enjoyable to read. Give yourself a moment from politics and oil wells and birth certificates and mosques … and just spend a few minutes there reading some of the rich tales from Uncle Remus. For me it was like meeting and “ol’ fren.” And the lessons still apply today … clearer lessons from a simpler time.
(And, yes, I used this theme before with the Oil Rig … it is amazing how the “lesson” keeps coming up to be learned again … but will they ever learn?)
Doug Ft Moultrie Flag - Liberty Risky Discussion
The Tea Party is only a small PART OF the Conservative Tsunami wave that is forming. It is coming tidal wave with tremendous power that is about to make some major changes on the political landscape. That wave is made up of many groups. Some focus on Anti-Gay, Pro-M/F Marriage, Anti-abortion, Pro-Christianity, Anti-Mosque etc etc etc … and among the “etcs” is the Tea Party, focusing on Fiscal Responsibility. It is a PART of the wave, part of something bigger, but IT IS NOT that bigger thing.
The Restoring Honor Rally: We must not confuse the limited Tea Party’s mission with another far greater mission of a far larger phenomenon. Whatever the heck Glenn Beck did last week “is” that phenomenon. It doesn’t need signs, it doesn’t need rabble-rousing political speeches, it transcends race and even religious differences. It is beyond that, it is bigger than that and it is the God-driven values fueling the power.
