Just Leave Me Davy Crockett

There are people we've selected who think they were elected to flout and mock us with their sordid lies. In hopes we might surrender to these patriotic pretenders as Congress is where a hero goes to die. They waste their precious time along foolish party lines avoiding the issues that stokes their hearts with fear. By showing their immaturity in not dealing with our security to trash the principles to which we all adhere. So just stay out of my pocket and leave me Davy Crockett and the memories of this Country that I love. You seem intent on causing misery by changing all my History to stain those Heroes looking down from high above. Now no one born is wholly flawless and it would be completely thoughtless to judge a person by their greatest sin. When it is the core of our Society to see such old impropriety through forgiveness where the healing can begin. So please look into a mirror and you'll find it can't be clearer... nothing good comes from casting hellish stones. So take from this poor letter to try and behave a little better and leave our treasured Heroes all alone. So just stay out of my pocket and leave me Davy Crockett and the memories of this Country that I love. You seem intent on causing misery by changing all my History to stain those Heroes looking down from high above. Now there are those who lack humility and lay a claim to untold bigotry and rile against the strides we all have made. By trying to say we're hopeless and trying to change our focus from the lies and plans you all have carefully laid. You may hope we run and cower as you try to usurp our power and turn this Country into something you abhor. But we will not lose our focus and I'm here to give you notice we will defend this beloved Country we adore. The End *For those who are interested. I will be posting my cartoon 'Bob's Your Uncle' on my homepage. A new one will appear every second day.

G'day David ... very appropriate for what we have just been through here. It's strange how the politicians money tree will go missing now we've all been conned - another beaut verse David - Lindsay

It's funny how there is always more money before an election than after. I'm not a fan of deficit spending when times are good but everyone wants something for nothing. Have a great day my friend.

Yup. Davy Crockett epitomizes what this country's all about ---not Pocahontas, Comrade Bernie, Pete Guti-Gay, and all of the rest of those moralizing midgets. Tell it like it is, David!! Keep that sharp pen at the ready; it's much mightier than the sword. Blessings, gw

Consider we're told not to judge other people. There seems to be a lot of that going on. Have a great day my friend. Soon we'll find out Davy Crockett got a parking ticket for his horse and he will be scrubbed from the history books.

Thanks. Great advice. I've been drawing Bob for about two years. I spend half my day on poetry and the other half on Bob.

Always amazing story telling David, but for me the most telling line us "because Congress is where a hero goes to die." Yet representative Crockett as the poem knows died at the Alamo. David with your wit and words you could certainly filibuster filibuster!!! congress.

One of the points I was pushing was Crockett was unable to accomplish much in Congress because of the special interest groups. Once he was in opposition to the Party his days in Congress were numbered. If he had been able to make a difference, he may have been there longer and never gone to Texas. Have a great day my friend.

Thanks Jennifer. Between my poetry, cartoons and one very affectionate cat, I'm a busy man. It helps me stay out of my wife's way when she's home.
