Tea Party pork?

The Mississippi Tea Party will host a barbecue next week. The press release states Chris McDaniel and activist Mack Payne will speak:


Former Gunship Pilot, Mack Payne, Slated to Speak at Mississippi Tea Party Event

The Mississippi Tea Party will sponsor a Constitution Barbecue Event on Sept. 13 at Jamie Fowler Boyll Park, (next to Smith Wills Stadium) 1398 Lakeland Drive, Jackson, MS 39216. The purpose of the event is to celebrate the Constitution with fun, food and speakers including Senator Chris McDaniel.

Mack Payne from Lake Placid, Florida will be speaking at the event. He is a highly decorated veteran of two years in Vietnam who has held elected office in Collier County, Florida and was a business owner in South Florida. He is an award winning speaker and today is a writer, speaker and publisher.

Payne has spoken at patriotic meetings across the Southeast and uses episodes from his book to illustrate and promote concepts of freedom and liberty in a dynamic speaking style that keeps audiences on the edge of their seats.

Payne will talk about his new book “Vietnam Veteran Memoirs” and some of the hair raising events he encountered in that war. He will point out how things that occurred over forty years ago in Vietnam are relevant to current events in our country. He will go on to tell out how those earlier events provide insight in protecting the Constitution and meeting challenges facing our country today.

His book is available at Amazon.com and vietnamcopy.com.

You can learn how Mack Payne " got rich with Florida Lien Certificates" or how he views the Bible as a " success manual" and hear his memoirs on Vietnam or read his books. I don't know who is publisher is...couldn't find it. His resume is interesting but I can't find all these " awards" just that he himself says he is award winning. And his " elected" office was related to his county fire district. His resume says he served in artillery in the Army for 10 years and 2 tours in 'Nam and says he was a major with the Distinguished Flying Cross as the only medal listed. He then co- owned a marble company for about the same length of time and a bottled water company for the same length of time and claims to have made 10 million, I guess with each ( unclear). He has several websites. I don't see that he's a member of The Speaker's Bureau . I can't tell he's spoken anywhere other than TP gatherings and his first speech at Saratoga Toastmasters.
I'd love to see a photo of him in uniform with his rank and ribbons but didn't see that on Amazon or any of his websites. I hope he brings one with him.
He's certainly good at self-promotion!

A "Constitution BBQ". Is that similar to a book burning?

The bs meter was alerting then the following newspaper scan from 1970 turned up.

So if it is the same guy, then there might be something to back up the service related claims.

Still doesn't immunize one from getting punch drunk on the ersatz tea politics.

I don't doubt he served. He'd be a fool to suggest he has the Distinguished Flying Cross if he didn't.

I can't get to your site but there was a helicopter crash in ' Nam in 1970 I found and a couple of operations. There were many helicopter operations that were tough throughout the conflict.

There are many very highly decorated heroes of Vietnam right here in MS, officers and non-coms. More than a few are highly successful and employed more people that the Major claims he did.

They have been written about more extensively in both newspapers and books by others and in the official history of their Divisions.

They do not, however ,feel the need to use their service experience to teach others to sell widgets more effectively or claim it gives them better understanding of the Bible or to so shamelessly promote themselves.

Major Payne may be the first hero I've heard of who is a braggart, and who sees the lessons learned from combat as other than humbling. The combat heroes I've been privileged to know who tell their stories tend to be a witness, not the featured character!

The Tea Party knucklehead didn't even specify a time for the event. I guess it starts with Chris and Melanie make a grand entrance.

From the Miss. Tea Party website:
"We are sponsoring a CONSTITUTION BARBECUE EVENT on Sept. 13 and we need you to sell tickets ASAP and get the money for them. We cannot order the food unless we have the money from ticket sales. Please print any more copies that you need of tickets and call me with you total of ticket sales. You can bring the Ticket money with you when you come, however, we need the cash in hand and I need your total to order the food."

I wouldn't count on a BBQ sandwich if they can't even order food ahead of time.

It is always a great idea to schedule a function that conflicts with SEC football. I may go just so there will be ten people there.

I was Company Clerk in the National Guard to KEEP from going to Vietnam. Proud of it then and proud of it now.

Specialist, we know you had to " know people" ( or your parents did) to pull that off. Being a " Fortunate Son" shouldn't be a source of pride.

I know some who volunteered because it didn't sit well with them that their less fortunate high school and college buddies were drafted and they could get a pass. It seemed to them something a Nation based on our principles should not tolerate or condone...collectively or individually.

I figured a young man who was that principled and loyal to friends and country would be that principled and loyal to me as well. Turned out I was right 48 years ago. And, since too many of our high school and college friends didn't make it back, peaceful sleep is easier.

I do respect that admitted that you joined the Guard to avoid 'Nam. I really have disdain for those who bang the drums of war for others or pretend Guard service was same then as now. I know they just wouldn't put their asses on the line ! Those who objected to the war on principle made it known and went to Canada or burned their draft cards!

The list of those in elected office and political commentary who avoided service but who will, without pause, send someone else's son to combat is far too long.

And, I hope you don't, at social gatherings, tell any combat veteran how well versed you are in whatever war they served. Or why you were for or against the war they saw up close and personal. Don't opine about this battle or that and how the outcome could have been different or why the outcome was good as it could be they were actually there.99% of the time those types have the geography, topography, available weaponry and conditions wrong! Ask don't tell!

Hope the Major is speaking for free. If he expects this to raise enough money for even an honorarium, he's about to get a shock!

Fixin to head out to the Constitutional BBQ. Got my jackboots on, belt don't hardly go around no more. Where's that consarned courthouse agin?

Specialist 6 said...

Any principled high school or college recruit that didn't come back from Vietnam got killed for nothing. I went on to be a partner in a prominent professional firm. A lot better ending, in my opinion.

This is the same day Southern Miss plays Alabama. Another disaster in the making.

I agree with you that the war in Vietnam lost us many of our best and brightest. You should be glad you haven't had to compete against some of the ones who didn't make it.

Many of those who came back also lost several years of career advancement you enjoyed.

It is a great ending for you. There's no question YOU benefitted.

That doesn't make you smarter than those who served, just more self-focused.

It may surprise you that some highly decorated Vietnam veterans are not only " partners in a professional firm" but highly likely to be even more successful than you!

And, I did notice the point you avoided about loyalty to others like a spouse and children.

I just resent you rationalizing your decision by imagining yourself to be smarter when all you were is more selfish.

Contemporaries in my CPA firm and other firms all served in the National Guard at that time or were married with children and were not drafted. We used to talk "shop" about who had the cushiest job in their units. I usually did because I worked in the armory office, never went to the field at Fort Hood summer camp and was exempt from drill(with pay)if I had a professional deadline. Proud of it then and proud of it today.

Any report how the BBQ went? Like most, I watched the football game.

It didn't go. It is scheduled for the 13th of September.

Trollfest '09

Trollfest '07 was such a success that Jackson Jambalaya will once again host Trollfest '09. Catch this great event which will leave NE Jackson & Fondren in flames. Othor Cain and his band, The Black Power Structure headline the night while Sonjay Poontang returns for an encore performance. Former Frank Melton bodyguard Marcus Wright makes his premier appearance at Trollfest singing "I'm a Sweet Transvestite" from "The Rocky Horror Picture Show." Kamikaze will sing his new hit, “How I sold out to da Man.” Robbie Bell again performs: “Mamas, don't let your babies grow up to be Bells” and “Any friend of Ed Peters is a friend of mine”. After the show, Ms. Bell will autograph copies of her mug shot photos. In a salute to “Dancing with the Stars”, Ms. Bell and Hinds County District Attorney Robert Smith will dance the Wango Tango.

Wrestling returns, except this time it will be a Battle Royal with Othor Cain, Ben Allen, Kim Wade, Haley Fisackerly, Alan Lange, and “Big Cat” Donna Ladd all in the ring at the same time. The Battle Royal will be in a steel cage, no time limit, no referee, and the losers must leave town. Marshand Crisler will be the honorary referee (as it gives him a title without actually having to do anything).


Meet KIM Waaaaaade at the Entergy Tent. For five pesos, Kim will sell you a chance to win a deed to a crack house on Ridgeway Street stuffed in the Howard Industries pinata. Don't worry if the pinata is beaten to shreds, as Mr. Wade has Jose, Emmanuel, and Carlos, all illegal immigrants, available as replacements for the it. Upon leaving the Entergy tent, fig leaves will be available in case Entergy literally takes everything you have as part of its Trollfest ticket price adjustment charge.

Donna Ladd of The Jackson Free Press will give several classes on learning how to write. Smearing, writing without factchecking, and reporting only one side of a story will be covered. A donation to pay their taxes will be accepted and she will be signing copies of their former federal tax liens. Ms. Ladd will give a dramatic reading of her two award-winning essays (They received The Jackson Free Press "Best Of" awards.) "Why everything is always about me" and "Why I cover murders better than anyone else in Jackson".

In the spirit of helping those who are less fortunate, Trollfest '09 adopts a cause for which a portion of the proceeds and donations will be donated: Keeping Frank Melton in his home. The “Keep Frank Melton From Being Homeless” booth will sell chances for five dollars to pin the tail on the jackass. John Reeves has graciously volunteered to be the jackass for this honorable excursion into saving Frank's ass. What's an ass between two friends after all? If Mr. Reeves is unable to um, perform, Speaker Billy McCoy has also volunteered as when the word “jackass” was mentioned he immediately ran as fast as he could to sign up.


In order to help clean up the legal profession, Adam Kilgore of the Mississippi Bar will be giving away free, round-trip plane tickets to the North Pole where they keep their bar complaint forms (which are NOT available online). If you don't want to go to the North Pole, you can enjoy Brant Brantley's (of the Mississippi Commission on Judicial Performance) free guided tours of the quicksand field over by High Street where all complaints against judges disappear. If for some reason you are unable to control yourself, never fear; Judge Houston Patton will operate his jail where no lawyers are needed or allowed as you just sit there for minutes... hours.... months...years until he decides he is tired of you sitting in his jail. Do not think Judge Patton is a bad judge however as he plans to serve free Mad Dog 20/20 to all inmates.

Trollfest '09 is a pet-friendly event as well. Feel free to bring your dog with you and do not worry if your pet gets hungry, as employees of the Jackson Zoo will be on hand to provide some of their animals as food when it gets to be feeding time for your little loved one.

Relax at the Fox News Tent. Since there are only three blonde reporters in Jackson (being blonde is a requirement for working at Fox News), Megan and Kathryn from WAPT and Wendy from WLBT will be on loan to Fox. To gain admittance to the VIP section, bring either your Republican Party ID card or a Rebel Flag. Bringing both and a torn-up Obama yard sign will entitle you to free drinks served by Megan, Wendy, and Kathryn. Get your tickets now. Since this is an event for trolls, no ID is required. Just bring the hate. Bring the family, Trollfest '09 is for EVERYONE!!!

This is definitely a Beaver production.

Dr. Heddy Matthias and Lori Gregory will face off in the undercard dueling with dangling participles and other um, devices. Robbie Bell will perform Her two latest songs: My Best Friends are in the Media and Mama's, Don't Let Your Babies Grow up to be George Bell. Sid Salter of The Clarion-Ledger will host "Pin the Tail on the Trial Lawyer", sponsored by State Farm.

There will be a hugging booth where in exchange for your young son, Frank Melton will give you a loooong hug. Trollfest will have a dunking booth where Muhammed the terrorist will curse you to Allah as you try to hit a target that will drop him into a vat of pig grease.
