ON TO NOVEMBER 6    (With Updates)

The primaries are over. The progressives
have had their day and chosen their
standard bearers for the November 6
general election.

The contest for the 109th Assembly
District was intense.

Patricia Fahy emerged the nominee
of the Democrats. No suprise, a woman
in a field of 4 men. Pat got the votes of
the same crowd that votes approval of
the Albany City School District budget.
Her vote was enhanced by collaborating
with the campaigns of Senator Breslin
and DA Soares.

In round numbers Pat received 5,000
of the approximate 13,000 votes cast
in the Democratic primary in the 109 AD.

The Democratic candidates spent
a huge sum of cash in that primary.

On the issues, they differed little.

Compare Fahy and Sullivan responses
to questions- TU Voter Guide:
http://c3.thevoterguide.org/v/albany12/index.do?i=1

Disregard TU error in spelling of
Joseph and omission of photo.


So, now it is on to November 6 when
the rest of the 109 AD's 98,000 voters
will have their chance to choose who
shall represent them in the NYS
Assembly, 109th District.

The dilemma for Pat Fahy is
does she run with or away from
Barack Hussain Obama? Being
a partyline Democrat, we know
what she will do.

Gas is above four dollars a gallon.
Food prices are high and will go
still higher. People are out of
work. Prospects for jobs are
bleak. The number on food stamps
is at a record high.

This President has failed to secure
our borders allowing tens of
millions of illegal aliens to run
amok in America, among them
jihadists who are sworn to destroy
us.

Our entire electoral system is
at risk. Millions of illegals will
be voting November 6 and the
votes will be counted electronically
by a George Soros firm in Spain.

Our Nation is deeply divided by
a President who set out to radically
transform America . A President
whose divide and conquer strategy
has brought America to the brink
of disaster.

The Muslim world is afire because
of the foreign policy blunders and
perceived weakness of President
Obama and his Secretary of State
Hillary.

This election is about the survival
of America, our Constitutional
Republic, our way of life, and the
survival of each and every American.

Our life, liberty and pursuit of
happiness, as well as our security
economy and way of life are on the line.

There will be no second chances.
November 6 is D Day for America.

Enrolled Democrats are the
majority in the 109th AD as well
as in New York State.

Our fate, and theirs, will be
determined by how they vote
November 6. 

Will they put the survival of
America, and their own survival
above blind partyline voting?

Will the local media do the same?

We shall know the answer in
five weeks time.

This is no election to behave
like a Lemming.

                       Joe Sullivan

                       Conservative
                       Candidate Row C
                       NYS Assembly
                       District 109

Where I stand on the issues:

1. SECURITY is the priority. Without
it our  Liberty, way of life and economy
are done.

The home front has become the front
line in the war of terror by those who
are sworn to destroy us.

NYC is a major terror target. The NYPD
is doing it's best to safeguard the city.

Upstate police and fire agencies must do
the same.

Osama most recently directed his minions
to hit soft targets where security is lax.

Locally, that means The Capitol city
the port and the electric power grid
among other targets.

Governor Cuomo should expand, train
and arm the NY Guard, the state defense
force, to assist with security, particularly
when the NY National Guard is activated
for duty elsewhere in the nation or over
seas.

All citizens have a security role to play.
Keep and eye on your neighborhood
where you work, go to school and your
churches/synagogues.

Report any suspect activities to:
APD  458 5660
Anti-Terror Hotline-
1 866 SAFE NYS (723-3697)

2. PREPARE FOR EMERGENCIES
NATURAL/MAN MADE DISASTERS

This means every individual, households
neighborhoods, schools, churches
synagogues, businesses.

Go to:
http://72hours.org/      and    www.ready.gov

Search related posts this site.

3. ENERGY is essential to our way
of life,  for expanding traditional
manufacturing / agriculture and
for transportation.  Energy
development is the basis for jobs
and economic recovery. Tap
natural gas and 765 KV Quebec
to NYC hydropower line for
home heating, manufacturing
agriculture and transportation.

Rebuild conventional rail road net
to move freight/people. Build light
rail to connect cities, suburbs and
rural areas.

Search energy/transportation posts
this site.

ENERGY development is the key
to putting 23 million plus unemployed
back to work.

More people working is essential to
preserving social security and medicare.

http://www.dailyfinance.com/2012/09/29/social-security-will-run-dry-even-sooner-than-the-updated-bad-pr/


SULLIVAN POSITIONS ON ENERGY - ENERGY IS
ESSENTIAL TO ECONOMIC RECOVERY, JOB CREATION,TRANSPORTATION AND
OUR WAY OF LIFE.

1. Support expanded shale natural gas drilling in NYS provided
groundwater, wells, reservoirs are protected and monitored.

Have drillers contribute to a fund to provide remediation/compensation
in the event of accidents.

Earmark use/sale of extracted natural gas for New York, New England
and Canada. No exports to China.

Tapping New York's vast gas resources will stimulate an economic
boom and jobs akin to that produced by building the Erie Canal in the
early 1800's.


It is essential to conserve natural gas resources for domestic use
as a security issue for now and the future.

Northeast winters are cold and survival here impossible without
a reliable source of home heating.




2. Support the 765 kv Quebec to NYC hydro power line provided Albany
Bethlehem, Guilderland and New Scotland can tap into this line to
lower local electric rates and provide reliable, clean electric power
upon which our way of life depends.



3, Support shutting down the twin Indian Point nuclear power plants.

These nuclear plants sit astride the Ramapo geologic fault. Spent
rods are stored, in water, below the plants because there is no
other place to safely dispose of them.

The nuclear disaster in Japan was a natural and man made event.
We should learn from that and not repeat it here.


20 million people live in the shadow of the Indian Point nuclear plants.


The NYC metro area and Hudson Valley could be devastated by a
natural or man made disaster involving the Indian Point nuclear plants


Keep in mind that NYC (and the Indian Point Plants) are a number
one target of the Jihadists who sworn to destroy us, and who have
made the homefront the front line in their war of terror.


4. Support building the Keystone pipeline from Canada to the Gulf
states and a second pipeline to Buffalo. Build more refineries in
both locations. Canada is our ally. We share a common culture
and heritage and our future fates are interdependent.

President Obama's refusual to approve the Keystone pipeline
is a major blunder. He has kept gas and food prices high as
result. And, now, China is gaining control of Canadian shale
oil - a major strategic security blunder by Obama!

President Obama's policies relating to oil drilling in the Gulf of
Mexico and Anwar have produced similar results, inhibting our
economic recovery and creating a perilous security risk for
America.

5. Grow corn for food and feed, not to produce biofuels.

Ethanol is bad for engines, particularly small engines like
lawn mowers and snowblowers.

Food prices are poised to rise out of sight, after the November
election, because of the drought that has devastated America's
corn and wheat breadbasket regions.

Growing corn to produce ethanol will rapidly deplete soils
that should be conserved to grow food and feed in a system
of crop/field rotation that rests and replentishes the land.


46 million Americans now rely on food stamps. Food stamps
will be worthless without soils, farms and farmers to produce
food.


6. Support clean coal technology. America has the largest
coal reserves of any nation- enough to continue our way of
life for centuries.

Coal produces most of the electric power that our way of
life depends upon.

Do not export coal to China. Conserve it and use it for our
own economic needs long term.

                                             ###

Recall that gas was less than two
dollars a gallon before Obama took
office?




  4. Education and Learning

More money is not the way to
better educational outcomes.

Get the federal government out
of education. End NCLB and
Race To The Top. Scale back
State Ed Dept. More local
control over curriculum and
special education.

In Albany, merge city schools
with city government with the
Mayor responsible and accountable
for school performance. Return to
a K-8 neighborhood school system.
One property tax roll to support
both schools and city government.

Oppose consolidation of city school
district with town school districts.

This recommendation may appear
Dec 1, after election, when Governor's
Education Task Force reports on plans
to completely revamp education in NY.


Attitude/behavior adjustments
on the part of learners/parents
required.

Search  Education/Schools posts
this site.

5.   TAXATION

Extend so called Bush Tax Rates
for all, before they expire Dec 31.
Provide real property tax relief
particularly school property tax
relief in the 2013 state legislative
session.

Read:
http://www.dailyfinance.com/2012/10/01/how-looming-tax-hikes-would-hit-typical-families/

6. UPHOLD the U S and NYS
    CONSTITUTIONS.

Every public official takes an
oath to do so, but many violate
or fail to honor that oath.

No circumventing Congress
and the State Legislature by
Executive Orders or judicial
activism!

Support the First, Second and
Tenth Amendments to the
Constitution.

Return to strict interpretation
of the Tenth Amendment where
the federal government is limited
to enumerated powers and all
else the domain of the States.

This is essential for true unfunded
mandate relief.

7.  ENGLISH is our official
language. Make it so in education
business and elections.

Glorification of diversity divides
rather than unites our Nation.

We are a Nation of legal immigrants!

Secure borders are essential for
the survival of our Nation.

8.  SAFEGUARD ELECTIONS

Require photo voter ID's be
presented when voting, and
that all  county boards of
elections  ascertain that all
existing voters are living,
are bonafide residents and
U S Citizens. Require similar
proofs of all new voters.

Verify that college students
registering to vote locally
are not registered to vote
in their home counties.

9. AFGHANISTAN

BRING HOME  ALL THE
TROOPS NOW!
DEPLOY THEM TO
SECURE MEXICAN BORDER

Victory in Afghanistan is not
possible as long as Pakistan
provides safehaven for al Qaida
and Taliban, and because of
cultural,  historical factors.

Afghanistan is a tribal region
not a nation.

We have trained  and armed
hundreds of thousands of Afghan
Army-Police who are killing our
troops a few at a time.  It is only
a matter of time until they turn
and annihilate our remaining
68,000 troops who are being left
behind after this month's draw
down. Winter is coming just as
it did in 1842.
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/09/30/john-allen-afghanistan-insider-attacks-60-minutes_n_1927727.html

De Ja Vu! This happened to
an entire British Army in
Afghanistan in the 19th Century.

Search Afghanistan/Commander
In Chief posts this site.

We have a would be Commander
in Chief, who is not looking out for
our troops or our country. Obama
is guilty of dereliction of duty. His
Afghanistan policy is a failure.
Obama is a failure and must be
relieved of command.

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/09/30/casualties-afghanistan-war_n_1927691.html

How? When? By you the American
voters! November 6th. Vote Obama
out!

Where have all those Bring Home
the Troops Now lawn signs disappeared
to?

Bring them home now, before they
get wiped out in a full blown green
on blue atrocity.

10. INFORMED VOTERS casting
informed votes are the key to the
survival of our Constitutional
Republic, to the Life, Liberty and
Pursuit of Happiness of all.

Do not be brainwashed by a media
that is determined to maintain the
established political regime at the
federal, state and local levels.

Observe. Read. Exchange information
with your peers. Learn. Evaluate. Analyze.
Communicate.

Hard work? Yes, but it is your duty
as an American citizen.

Your survival, depends on it. Do it!

Government can't save us. We must
save America, our government and
ourselves.

ROMNEY'S FAILURE
TO ADDRESS SECURITY

AND AFGHANISTAN IS
A MAJOR BLUNDER

Read:

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/09/06/mitt-romney-afghanistan_n_1862533.html

SECURITY is the priority issue in
the 2012 elections. Without it our
way of life and economy are done.

Afghanistan is a tribal wasteland
that can not be secured as long as
Pakistan offers safehaven to the
Taliban and Al Qaida, and as long
as our troops are being killed by
those Afghans we are attempting
to train so that they might secure
their own land.

This training effort has cost us 22
billion dollars and the lives of our
valiant troops. For what?

President Obama has announced
the date for our military to withdraw.

Our troops, bound by pc rules of
engagement, are sitting ducks, being
picked off by a cowardly foe.

While they are putting their lives
on  the line, most won't have their
right to vote in the 2012 election
which, in part, is a referendum on
Commander In Chief as well as
Congress and the State Legislature.

That individual has failed to secure
our borders, and by fiat, circumvented
the Congress and U S Constitution to
allow untold numbers of illegal aliens
to vote in the 2012 elections to benefit
his reelection, and the reelection of
those that support him, like our own
Representative in Congress, Paul Tonko
our U S Senators and candidates for
state office here in New York.

The Commander and Chief and his
minions have all violated their oaths of
office.

Our troops and all legal American
voters need to know where you stand
on these and related matters of national
security...Mr Romney because the most
important job of the President is being
Commander In Chief is defending America
and all Americans (including the rabid
leftist partisans on display this week on
television for all the nation and world
to see).

You are not running for CEO!

The 2012 elections are the defining elections
of our lifetimes.

The survival of America, our
Constitutional Republic, Life, Liberty
Pursuit of Happiness, our way of life
and, and of all Americans are on the
line.

What should you be saying? For
starters - bring our troops home
from Afghanistan - now! Deploy them
to secure the Mexican border.

Rebuild our Navy and declare
that the Monroe Doctrine will be
strictly enforced.

Declare that you will uphold
the U S Constitution and will require
that candidates for public office
and appointments, including
the U S Supreme Court, do the same.

President Obama is NOT a nice
guy!

In the forthcoming debate will
you will have the opportunity
to address these and other issues
vital to our survival. What you
say, or do not say, will determine
your fate, that of America, and
all Americans.

Hint, put your political hack
advisors out to pasture.

Do a little study of General
George Patton.

No more pussy footing and
political tap dancing!

God help you, America and
all Americans.

CONSERVATIVE PARTY PRIMARY

NYS ASSEMBLY, District 109
Thurdsay, September 13 Noon- 9 pm

SULLIVAN v GOP Rubber Stamp

Joseph P Sullivan, an enrolled Conservative, a real Conservative
and Member of the Albany County Conservative Committee
representing the City of Albany W14 ED3 is the designated and
endorsed candidate of the Albany County Conservative Party.

Sullivan is being challenged by a GOP rubber stamp - Ted Danz
the GOP candidate for this Assembly seat. Danz, aided by an
assortment of local and state GOP operatives and plants in the
Schenectady and Albany County Conservative Committees, is
attempting to pirate the Conservative ballot line for the November
6 General Election, and ultimately gain control of the Albany
County Conservative Committee for the 2012 local elections.

This motley crew is taking advantage of relaxed absentee ballot
application rules, going around to GOP "sleepers" enrolled as
Conservatives, as well as genuine, unsuspecting Conservatives
who are asleep and not paying attention to what is going on.

Rubber stamps bearing the name of Danz are being used to
"write in" his name on the absentee ballot, where only Sullivan's
name appears because Sullivan is a real Conservative and the
designated, endorsed candidate of the Albany County Conservative
Committee.

The Albany TU editorial of August 3rd called for third parties to
run their own candidates in elections, concluding that one ballot
line per candidate was sufficient.

Sullivan wrote a letter supporting that editorial which was printed
in TU letters, August 24.

http://www.timesunion.com/opinion/article/Letter-3811374.php


Sullivan has a website that contains 7 years of posting on issues
vital to the survival of America and all Americans. This website is
read locally, statewide, nationally and worldwide"

http://lonerangeralbany.blogspot.com/

Danz is also attempting to gain the Independence line in the
September 13 primary, where his name does appear on the
 ballot, because the local  Independence party so authorized it.

One ballot line is enough!

The 109th AD Conservative primary is the only contest in town, so all the GOP operatives can pile on in this effort to
elect a rubber stamp.

Enrolled Conservatives in the 109th AD (City of Albany,
Towns ofBethlehem, Guilderland and New Scotland) have
a clear choice in the September 13 Conservative Party -

Sullivan, a real Conservative with a Message that
all voters in the 109Th should have the opportunity
to vote on November 6

               V

A GOP rubber stamp

The election  district vote talleys of those that vote in t
the September 13 Conservative Party Primary, 109th AD
will decide this question, as well as reveal who the GOP
sleepers in the Albany County Conservative Party are.

"Statewide 2010 census data shows nearly

them whose primary language wasn't

SULLIVAN OPPOSES
SILVER BILL TO GIVE
ILLEGALS FINANCIAL AID

The Times Union reported that
Assembly Speaker Sheldon Silver
has introduced a bill to give
government financial aid to
illegal aliens to attend college
in New York:

Here are the Assembly
release and full
text of the Silver bill:

Joseph P Sullivan, Conservative Party
candidate for NYS Assembly, District 109
which includes the City of Albany and
Towns of Bethlehem, Guilderland and
New Scotland, said he will vote against
the Silver bill, if he wins the Conservative
Primary on Thursday, September 13
and is  elected to the State Assembly in
the November 6 General Election.

Sullivan has challenged the
Albany Common Council to repeal
Sanctuary status in the City of Albany
for illegal aliens, which the Council
passed by a 14-0 vote in 2009.

The Albany County Legislature
should pass a resolution declaring
that Albany County is not a sanctuary
for illegal aliens,  and review social
service rolls and county jail rosters to
determine how many illegal aliens are
included, Sullivan added.

The Albany City School District and
colleges and universities in Albany
County should be required, by the
County Legislature to disclose how
many illegal aliens are among the
student bodies of these institutions.


Sullivan said he would sponsor a bill
along the lines of Arizona Governor
Jan Brewer's executive order denying
driver's licenses and other public
benefits to illegal aliens who are
authorized to work under the
Obama executive order which went
into effect, last week.

Sullivan said he would also sponsor
legislation requiring photo voter ID's
and that all county boards of elections
take steps to ensure that only  U S
citizens, who are legal residents of
NY State, are listed on voter rolls
and that proof of citizenship and
legal residence be required for all
new voter registrations.

Silver was quoted as saying: "we
don't have enough engineers and
scientists in this country"

We are not going to find them
among the tens of millions of
illegals who have unlawfully
invaded our land, said Sullivan.


Most illegals are uneducated
unskilled. Those that work off
the books, don't pay taxes.
Many are driving without
valid driver's licenses and
insurance. Many are engaged
in gangs, the drug trade and
other criminal activities.


The rule of law must prevail
in America, and violations
of the law must not be rewarded
if America is to remain a Nation.

Illegal immigration is a real
threat to survival of nations.

Consider Greece:

COMMANDER IN CHIEF:
THE MOST IMPORTANT
FUNCTION OF THE PRESIDENT

Currently, we have a Campaigner in Chief
who is AWOL, allowing  our troops to be
picked off every day, by a cowardly foe, now
posing as our ally.

http://www.boston.com/news/world/asia/2012/08/16/nato-says-all-international-troops-killed-afghanistan-helicopter-crash-are-americans/aAbj60Kc1MFvecUQSpzgYI/story.html

Biden is not fit to assume this role. He
is somewhere back in the 19th and 20th
Centuries....on the plantation, maybe?

Hillary has left the Mid East on fire in
Egypt, Libya, and now Syria. A failure
as Secretary of State. It would mean
certain defeat for Obama to dump Biden
and tap Hillary for VP.

Where have all the "Bring Home the
Troops- Now" lawn signs gone?


Romney is running for CEO. Ryan as
assistant CEO.

While the economy is on the verge of
collapse,  Israel struggles to survive
surrounded by millions of Jihadists
and Iran developing nuclear capability.

When  full scale war breaks out in the
Mid East, we will suffer severe losses
among troops on the ground and our
naval carrier task forces, which are
sitting ducks in an inland sea.

At the same time, the U S and Canada
will be helpless to repel the human
waves surging over the Yukon, The
Columbia-Snake, Yellowstone and
Missouri Rivers, in their conquest of
the timber, shale oil and coal resources
of the West, the agricultural resources
of the Great Plains and Corn Belt.


To ignore Afghanistan and foreign policy
issues  is a tragic blunder for this duo.

Take some time off, boys,  go to Afghanistan
before the upcoming  GOP convention, or
perhaps, while the Democrats hold their
convention in early September.

Fast foreward to the 21st Century
Bubba.   It's Security, Stupid! Without it
there won't be an economy!

This is no time for politics as usual. To
fail to take strong positions on security
defense, military and foreign policy issues
as well as failure to secure our borders
and root out the terrorists who dwell
among us, puts America, and all Americans
in grave peril.

NY OPENS DOOR TO
MASSIVE VOTER FRAUD

What safe guards, if any, to ensure

the 13 September primaries and Nov
6 General Election?

New York State is sanctuary to untold
numbers of illegal aliens. The same is
true for Albany  City and County.

Proof of citizenship, residency and

honest elections this year.

Why wasn't this provision  included

WHEN THE LIGHTS GO OUT
WHAT WILL YOU DO?

Our electric power grid is essential
to our way of life.

State Homeland Security is on the
ball to attempt to address the issue
of power grid vulnerability:

http://blog.timesunion.com/capitol/archives/144628/this-is-a-test/


Earthquakes may pose a risk to the
power grid, but there are other real
and ,perhaps, more immediate concerns
relating to terrorism.

The Jihadists have brought their war
of terror to our land. The home front
is now the front line. They have sworn
to destroy us.

Our borders are wide open and they
are already among us - plotting and
waiting to strike.

The power grid can be shut down
indefinitely by a cyber attack or
by a high altitude nuclear explosion
delivered by a missle, or concealed
aboard a commercial airplane.

In the latter scenario, most vehicles
would be useless as well because
their computers would be down.

Imagine this occurring during a
bitter Northeast winter.

Government can't save us. We
must be prepared to save ourselves
and the government.

Individuals and households would
be wise to consider what can go
wrong in our way of life and what
we must do to prepare to survive
such events.

HILLARY ON SAFARI

The headline of this story is prophetic,
despite not having any plausible link
with what follows in the body of the
story.

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/08/07/syria-conflict-hillary-clinton_n_1751546.html

For regime, substitute Obama for Assad.
Substitute Chicago for Pretoria.

The Obama regime has destabilized the
entire Mid East: Egypt, Libya and now
Syria. Hillary is the face and folly of the
Obama regime's failed foreign policies.

Mistake number one: Hillary as
Secretary of State. No one with the
least bit of understanding of the
mindset of the Arab world would
send a female to do a man's work
in a male dominated culture, and
expect to have any success.

This is akin to having women
serve in combat or aboard men o war
at sea.

On the home front, the Obama regime's
failed domestic policies have brought
the U S to the brink of destruction.

So, here we have a main stream media
story about Hillary on Safari, and
a story headline that bears no apparent
relationship to the story.

Why?  What is the discerning reader
to conclude?

Could the desperate Obama regime
sensing that it will not survive the
November elections, be turning to
Hillary for VP as a last ditch move?

It will not work!  Hillary and Obama
have been a disaster on the world
stage, as well as on the home front.

The mainstream media, acting as
public relation flacks for this duo
have duped the American public.

Ordinary Democrats hold the
key to saving America , their
party , themselves and us.

Will they wise up? Will they
put America before blind party
allegiance?

(The current local Democratic
candidates for state senate and
assembly included)

If not, America will not
survive.

Begin by rejecting Obama, Hillary
and the party leadership/policies
that systematically destroyed the
America we have known and loved.

Nothing less than full, legal
citizen voter participation in the
13 September primaries and
November 6 General Election
will suffice.

NATIONAL NIGHT OUT
LIGHT A CANDLE?

Tonight,  local neighborhoods will be
holding  National Night Out events to
raise public awareness of the need for
the public to be involved in combating
growing crime in neighborhoods.

While admirable, the focus of National
is Night Out is too narrow.

Raise your sights to consider other
crimes that have a potentially greater
impact on our Constitutional rights
to pursuit of life, liberty and happiness.

Q1 Why are our borders, in particular
the border with Mexico, not secured?

Q2 Why has the President circumvented
Congress and violated his Oath of Office
by means of multiple Executive Orders
such as the one granting blanket amnesty
to millions of illegal aliens? Dreamers?

Q3 Why is no action being taken by local
politicians, and officials, to safeguard our
electoral process, from being compromised
by illegals voting,  by students voting
twice:  locally,and again , in their home
communities, and why are so many other
fraudulent violations of the voting process
permitted to continue?

Q4  Why has the Albany Common Council
not rescinded Sanctuary City status for the
City of Albany, which they voted for 14-0
in 2009?

Q5  How many illegal aliens are working
locally and not paying taxes? How many
are attending schools supported by local
citizen taxpayers? How many are receiving
social services, health and other benefits?
How many are driving illegally, with no
licenses, no insurance? How many commit
crimes or are incarcerated?
    Why is the Albany County Legislature
not addressing these questions?

Q6 What about emergency/disaster
preparedness? Are political jurisdictions
ready? Are neighborhoods and households
ready.

Consider this commentary by the President
of Sage College:
http://www.timesunion.com/opinion/article/Too-vulnerable-to-a-disaster-3767179.php

Government can't save us. We must save
ourselves and the government.

We live in perilous times. In 2012 elections
our very survival as a Nation, and as citizens
are on the line.

Where there is no security, and the
Constitution is not upheld, there will be
no economy. Our way of life is on the line.

So, as you consume your ice cream tonight
pause to raise your sights on becoming
an informed voter in the 2012 elections.

This is no time for politics as usual with
complacency, apathy, indifference and
pure ignorance.

RED PADDY LOOKING
TO MAKE A MATCH

The Old Man, my brother Mick and meself
were sitting around the radio listening to
Proud to Be Irish on the Siena radio station
88.3 FM as we usually do every Sunday
afternoon.

The Old Man uncorks a bottle of Hennessey
brandy. I knew that something was up. He
offered some to us, but we just looked away.
It isn't our favorite drink. We would prefer
water or buttermilk.

From listening to stories about the Old
Country, Mick and me immediately knew
that this session was about matchmaking.

The men of the family made the matches.
Love had nothing to do with it, and the
females had nothing to say in the matter.

But, Mick and me are a bit more docile
because the Aussie before us was a one
man dog that kept the woman of the house
in line.

She was determined that never again
would she be terrorized by the likes of
us.

She took to dog training as pups. I got
a star place on my forehead at graduation.
But, Mick was jealous and ate it off.

The woman of the house went wild
when the Old Man brought the two
of us into the house as pups.

But, it all worked well and we have
had many good times together.

We have especially enjoyed running
free in the Helderbergs or on the
land in Delaware County and on
the Albany Muni Golf course in
winter when the ticks are few.

Summers, we have to be content
with walks around the hood.

We went to the beach on Long
Island once. I was very wary of
the vastness of the ocean as
compared to the pond we swim
in on the land. Mick was his
usual bold self, running into the
water and tasting it.

We had a nice run on the beach
but soon found ourselves being
pursed by law enforcement on
dune buggies.

It seems dogs are banned from
beaches there.

We escaped. But, have never
gone back to such an unfriendly
environment.

So, at the Old Man's proding I  seek  a
young, Australian female farm dog ,of fine
stock, for the purposes of making a match.
We have to meet the parents to determine
that they are of good temperment, health
and possess excellent genes.

Mick and me passed our annual vet exams
with flying colors, in July. And why  not?
Good genes. Good food, lamb and rice,
spuds, flax, extra virgin olive oil, buttermilk
and fresh eggs.

I am likely the largest Austrialian you will
ever see. A fine specimen. A block of a dog
with a barrel chest, green eyes and of very
good temperment. I weigh in at about 78
pounds. My coat is a thick auburn red.
I have a white bib and collar and Irish socks.

I have never been matched before. The Old
Man never neuters his dogs. So, I am ready.

Forget about love. This is strictly a business
venture, I do the job and the Old Man gets
the pick of the litter.

Mick complained bitterly. What about me.
Well, Mick is a fine dog too. He takes after
his father Merlin and is a spotted red merle.
Mick is extremely clever and intelligent. He
knows how to lower the rear window when
we go for a ride. I think he is endowed with
ESP and is skilled at mind reading. But, he
talks a lot and is a bit of a rake.

Mick is always ready for a match. But, not
very selective. Any four legged creature will
do.

I take after my mother Cheyenne who was
a large red and white of very good temperment.

Mick and me were born to a litter of 9 in
Washington  County, a decade ago. It was
our mother's third litter.

Mick inherits his travelling people
demeanor from his father. Both, are
great kissers. In the ear.

The farmer was named McCarthy, he
had come to Washington County from
Texas, bringing our parents with him.
They are of  fine Aussie stock, used for herding
cattle and horses on the Texas High Plains.

Coincidentally, the McCarthy's and
O'Sullivan's joined up to defeat the
Norman advance into what is now  West
Cork and Kerry, a thousand years ago.

So,  how do you find me?  Go to Jim
Coyne's house on New Scotland Ave
at Buckingham and Lenox (the one with
4 Coyne lawn signs out ...2 on Buckingham
and 2 on New Scotland, at the point
where New Scotland and Buckingham
meet. They will tell you where I live.

We are in a witness protection program
because of the letter we wrote to the
Ayatollah.

Jim Coyne has a couple of Shelties.
He is in the September 13 Democratic
primary.

The Old Man is waiting in the wings
to take on the winner of the Democratic
primary, but, first the Old Man must
win the Conservative primary, Thursday
September 13, Noon to 9 pm.

The Old Man is only doing what is
in his genes.

Something about liberty and saving
our Constitutional Republic.

PS  You can get a look at Mick
       and me - our photo is to the
       upper right of the screen.

      We are not illegals. And in
       Albany, we vote.
