Diplomacy-The Art of Being An International Idiot

 

“If I sit down with the leader of Iran, I will send him a strong message that Israel is our friend, that we will assist in their security and that we don’t find nuclear weapons acceptable…. That’s not going to be a propaganda coup for the president of Iran.”
Barack Obama-CNN/YouTube debate, July 23, 2007.

Well, Diplomacy always sounds so nice doesn’t it.  After all, unless you live in Texas like I do, going out and opening up a 6 pack of whup-butt on someone sounds so barbaric and juvenille.  It is the more educated and refined way of living when you sit down with your adversary and try and talk it out. 

What our President has been trying to tell us since the campaign is that we need other Countries to like the U.S.  Maybe that is right, but some countries simply will not like us.  No amount of sitting down to say “no, no” is going to work.  Am I suggesting we need to go into every country, guns a-blazin’?  Of course not, but part of being a refined educated man like our President is not being a super giant idiot.

Here is a news flash to the President and to the USS John McCain:

NORTH KOREA HATES US!

Here are some of their propaganda posters, in case you are still not convinced:

“Death to US Imperialists!  Our sworn enemy!

“When provoking a war of aggression, we will hit back, starting with the US!

“Though the dog barks, the procession moves on!”

(and you know what North Korea thinks of dogs.)

So, Mr. President, I know you are really busy trying to socialize every aspect of our lives and place it under governmental control.  But take a moment from your busy schedule of facist activity and learn a lesson on how to deal with bullies from a master:

-Man do I miss him!

Thanks Obama-Now The World Really Loves Us!

Remember last year?  I know it was a while ago, but think back—remember what we heard about Bush’s ability to handle foreign relations?

Remember the mantra of the left?  Bush has caused the world to hate us.  Europe doesn’t like us, the Arab world doesn’t like us and the Asian world doesn’t like us. 

Boo hoo!

Why earlier this month, our President was telling Egypt that America needs to repair its relationship with the Muslim world:  “I’ve come here to Cairo to seek a new beginning between the United States and Muslims around the world, one based on mutual interest and mutual respect, and one based upon the truth that America and Islam are not exclusive and need not be in competition.”   

So, it seems that after 6 months of wonderful speechs and numerous TV appearances and diplomatic promises and discussion, the promise of closing of prisons holding known terrorists, quoting from the Torah and the Koran has led to the following headlines:

North Korea Threatens to Harm US if Attacked

Al Qaeda Says It Will Use Pakistani Nuclear Weapons on US

Iran Revolutionary Guard Say They’ll Crush Protests

Iran Starts AirForce Manuevers in Gulf

Can you feel the love?

In trying to learn from our Commander in Chief–I have decided to agree to settle all lawsuits filed against my clients.  I know, there may be some that are overreaching, there may be some that are frivolous, but fighting for what is right is so early 2000’s.  It’s time to appease.   Imagine how better these scenarios would have turned out if we had simply tried to “talk about it” first.

1.  “Coward of the County” by Kenny Rogers  In this song the “coward” finally beats up the Gatlin boys when they attack the love of his life.  But that is no way to go.  He should have sat down with the Gatlin boys and tried to understand their rage–maybe they never got that pony they ask for from Santa, maybe their mother was a drunk–who knows–and that’s the point–we never will because when he was done “not a gatlin boy was standing.”

2.  WWII-Bombing of Japan-Again, obviously our aggressive action was in response to the Surprise Attack on Pearl Harbor–but why go about it like savages?  We could have sat down with the Japanese and simply asked them:  “Hey, why did you feel the need to hurt us so?”  Maybe General Tojo would have sat down and wept at the thought that we actually cared about his needs.

3. War of Northern Aggression-what a bloody mess that was.  Did the North ever think that maybe the South was better off without them and vice versa?  No.  I mean what did the war accomplish anyway–well okay the abolition of slavery–but who knows, maybe if the North had simply sat down with the Southern leaders and said, “Look, we understand you want your own Country with your cute little “X” flag but can we talk about this slavery thingy?”  No one ever tries anything anymore.

4. S.W.A.T.-look at this horrific scene.  Policemen with  their heavy armor and heavy artillery.  Yikes!  How about this approach to a group of bad guys or even one bad guy holding hostages–get some Cheetos–everyone loves them.  Open the bag and show it the ALLEGED bad guy and see if he will sit down and munch on a few.  Then you can open a dialogue with him and find out what is really troubling him.  Isn’t that better than this Rambo-like approach?

So, in honor of our President’s success in this arena, I’m going to send a bag of Cheetos to all those who don’t like me, who are angered by me, who have cases against my clients–so then, maybe then we can all finally get along.

AHHHHHH….Baseball!

Time for a diversion from the giant slide toward socialism…

Instead today I’d like to reflect on baseball for a moment.  First of all, let me be clear, I was not a good baseball player as a kid.  I love it now and love that my son enjoys it so much (he is 7) but I was, well…I stunk!

However, I think baseball is an amazing glue in our society.  It bonds so many people together, it creates bonds between parents and kids, and it is something that nearly everyone can understand.

So…hats off to the Texas Longhorns!

What a come from behind win against Arizona State.  Congrats boys!

I have to say that my love for baseball began really as a child–but not playing it.  I used to go to the Astrodome and watch the Houston Astros play and I can still remember that big board that lit up whenever (which was rare) they hit a homer in that airless dome.

Notice that it is the second inning and already the Astros have committed an error–you gotta love ‘em.

Then in college I really became more and more of a sports enthusiast while living with a roommate who was and to some degree still is “all sports, all the time.”  But my real passion for the game came in 1990.  It was that year (my senior year at the University of Texas) that I assisted in coaching the Austin, Westlake Hills Little League Minor League Red Sox.

I am top left next to Benjamin Schenkkan–you might know him as Ben McKenzie

But I digress…

(seriously though–watch SouthLAnd–he is awesome)

That experience-coaching those 9-11 year olds was so rewarding.  I had the best time coaching those guys.  I learned what it meant to be a role model to young boys–it was obvious from the first practice that these guys looked up to us and were watching us and were soaking in what it was like to be a 21 year old.  It would not have been appropriate for these young boys to see us acting irresponsibly, immorally or in any way that would taint their view of the world.  It was an awesome responsibility.  And…they were fun to be around. 

Mason Ayer (2nd row-first kid on left) had never played baseball before–but you could tell with each practice that he was loving it.  He became one of our pitchers before mid-season and his father said he was really loving the sport.  These boys were learning their first lessons in teamwork, pulling together as a unit, supporting their friends and teammates, individual responsibility and effort.  What a great time.

I was touched recently when talking to one of the kids’ dads who told me that he remembers that team and recalls how cool it was when one of his sons was pitching and the other catching.  The pitching son got flustered and walked a couple of batters.  The dad recalled how his brother (the catcher) called time on his own, went out to the mound, put his arm around his brother and calmed him down.  What a great moment.

I got my first taste of fatherhood and understood what it really meant to care about other people.  If you need a lesson in caring for others, take care of some kids for a while by coaching, teaching, babysitting, whatever…and you realize how important it is that kids be exposed to positive role models who will not lead them astray.  What a great lesson.

So now, 19 years later, the Westlake Red Sox are lawyers, bankers, construction managers, teachers, broadway stars and tv stars and this year and last I had the opportunity to coach again.  This year, it was the Spring Branch Memorial Sports Association Junior Baseball Angels.

(no picture–they are still kids)

And I must say coaching my own son brings back all of those amazing moments and lessons I saw 19 years ago.  Baseball is an opportunity for men to show boys how to treat people, how to play hard and to give it your all.  It teaches living up to your commitments and understanding the importance of building a team.  It focuses on individual achievement but also shows these boys how one person can make a difference to a group–in either direction. 

At the end of my coaching year in 1990, the parents got together an bought the coaches a framed picture that said the following:

“Small boys learn to be large men in the presence of large men who care about small boys.”

So true that is.  I pray that the truth of that statement penetrates the minds of every man and woman who influences young children.   It is too important to take for granted.

Welcome to the United States of Fascism or Communism–Comfascunism!

What is Fascism?  Dictionary.com defines it as:

1.  A governmental system led by a dictator having complete power, forcibly suppressing opposition and criticism, regimenting all industry, commerce, etc…, and emphasizing an aggressive nationalism and often racism.

The site also has this to say about it:

A system of government that flourished in Europe from the 1920s to the end of World War II. Germany under Adolf Hitler, Italy under Mussolini, and Spain under Franco were all fascist states. As a rule, fascist governments are dominated by a dictator, who usually possesses a magnetic personality, wears a showy uniform, and rallies his followers by mass parades; appeals to strident nationalism; and promotes suspicion or hatred of both foreigners and “impure” people within his own nation, such as the Jews in Germany. Although both communism and fascism are forms of totalitarianism, fascism does not demand state ownership of the means of production, nor is fascism committed to the achievement of economic equality. In theory, communism opposes the identification of government with a single charismatic leader (the “cult of personality”), which is the cornerstone of fascism.

Interesting…

And communism?

What is Communism?  Dictionary.com states:

1.  A theory or system of social organization based on the holding of all property in common, actual ownership being ascribed to the community as a whole or to the state.  2.  A system of social organization in which all economic and social activity is controlled by a totalitarian state dominated by a single and self-perpetuating political party.

I know, I’d have to be a right-wing crazy nut job to suggest that our President was acting in any way that might seem to indicate a slight hint of fascism or communism.  I mean, he hasn’t taken over industries or banks.  He doesn’t have a “cult of personality” like following.  He is not attempting to control our economic and even our social activity.  Seriously, I’m being so silly.  I mean, it’s not like he has taken over the media…

 

But wait–apparently there is a new news network.  It’s called “All Barack Communications” or “ABC” for short.  Here is the new logo:

Maybe you haven’t heard.  According to the Drudgereport today:  “On the night of June 24, the media and government become one, when ABC turns its programming over to President Obama and White House officials to push government run health care — a move that has ignited an ethical firestorm!  Highlights on the agenda:  ABCNEWS anchor Charlie Gibson will deliver WORLD NEWS from the Blue Room of the White House. The network plans a primetime special — ‘Prescription for America’ — originating from the East Room, exclude opposing voices on the debate.”

Now, ABC knows that American Broadcasting Company is its long-standing name, but it just seems that “All Barack Communications” is more fitting since they are going to “sell us” on his socialistic health care plan from the actual Blue Room itself.  (Blue is a very calming color after all).  Here were the ideas for the new name that the marketing team chunked:

“All ‘Bout Change”

“A Blossoming Communism”

“Alleviating Bush’s Crap”

“A Big Connundrum”

“About to Be Conned”

“Americans Better Cannonize”  (for my a&m fans–it’s another word for worship)

“Americans Bought Change”

“Another Barack Conversion”

and so on….

All of this talk of Socialism, Communism and Fascism is so darn nutty.  What is really going on here is a move toward Comfascunism.  It takes the best of Communism and Fascism and molds them together in one big steaming governmental heap.  So no worries, just sit back, relax, think about the beach or the lake and like a slow moving flu virus, eventually we will all be infected.

In fact talks are already underway to rename NBC and CBS to the following:

“National Barack Communications”  and “Countrywide Barack System”

The Many Faces of Evil

As you all know by now, except for the cave-dwelling fans of this site, James W. von Brunn has been charged in the murder of a security guard at the Holocaust Museum in Washington, D.C.  Suddenly every know-it-all psychologist and psycho-analyst and political commentator is struggling to answer the age-old question…

“Why?”

For some reason, every time there is a senseless crime of violence that makes the headlines, everyone wants to dig deeper into the cause–no, no, the ROOT cause of the problem.  It is not enough that Mr. Brunn is crazy.  It is not enough that he is disturbed–the world believes that “evil” just doesn’t exist and if it does, it is too easy an explanation for crimes like this.  It’s a cop-out.  So liberals especially, but all of us to some degree, struggle to understand what would cause a human to do an unthinkable thing.

Rabbi Abraham Cooper, an associate dean of the Simon Wiesenthal Center and Museum of Tolerance and Harold Brackman, a historian and consultant to the Simon Wiesenthal Center wrote an article for the Washington Times that does not discuss evil, but discusses hate.  In their article they state the following:

“The bloodbath at the U.S. Holocaust Museum is a national wakeup call. Energized by the Internet and inspired by age-old prejudices like hatred of Jews and blacks, a new breed of haters is among us. Whether by organized conspiracy or spontaneous contagion, this breed of haters is sure to spread. We must forge new strategies to meet this deadly challenge. Simon Wiesenthal once said: “I do not judge societies by the number of Nazis but by how many anti-Nazis are prepared to act.”  Now is our time.”

A “new breed of haters?”  They are suggesting we need to “forge new strategies.”  This is a “deadly challenge?”  If that is true, when did the “breed of haters” they are referring to become “new?”  They mention the following:

The Bronx Four” involved prison converts to extremist Islam who were arrested while believing they were planting C4 plastic explosives at a New York City synagogue. Their leader – James Cromitie, aka Abdul Rahman – pointed to people walking on the street near a Jewish community center and reportedly said, if he had a gun, he “would shoot each one in the head.”  Scott Roeder, accused in Kansas of killing late-term abortion provider Dr. George Tiller, boasts in jail that more such assassinations may be in the works.  Abdulhakim Muhammad (formerly, Carlos Bledsoe), accused of murdering one soldier and maiming another at an Arkansas Army recruitment center after returning from a murky pilgrimage to Yemen where he may have become the time bomb reimported into the United States.

The article then goes on to identify the real problem–the author makes the point that these are predominantly “home-grown haters.”  See it is our fault.  In fact it could be argued that it is conservatism that is really to blame.  See this quote from the article:  “One common denominator of today’s violent bigots is the viral medium of the Internet, which supercharged and validated Mr. von Brunn’s hateful vision and also that of white far-right extremist Mr. Roeder.”

Oh, now I get it, the Internet is to blame and of course far-right extremism.  The left LOVES to find crazy guys that think that it is okay to kill abortion doctors and then label them as “right-wing” or “far-right.”  The salivate at the chance.

Yesterday on a local news program I heard an “expert” say that the reason Mr. von Brunn shot these people is in part because we have the first African American President and there is much more tolerance of gay marriage and rights in this Country and because the war in Iraq has feuled the fire of hatred among those who are pre-disposed to such thinking.

(Pause)

(wrapping duct tape around my head to keep it from exploding)  (one more piece….there)

(taking 10 deep breaths and thinking about puppies and flowers)

The reason Mr. von Brunn shot the security guard is becuase he IS EVIL and likely CRAZY!  It is evil at work here.  Wake up leftists, progressives and Statists–EVIL EXISTS.   Human beings can and at times will be evil human beings and crazy human beings.  There is not a “new breed” of haters in the world–there have always been people that hate.  For example, I hate beets, eggplant, “Celebration” by Kool and the Gang, socialism, progressivism, killing of unborn children, temperature over 90 degrees, snakes and a certain Dallas-based airline.   It is okay to hate things.  Hating people is wrong–but so is stealing from them and so is driving drunk and so is attempting to convince us that the government needs to crack down on thought.

I don’t agree with hating people for any reason–especailly race, national origin, color, gender, lifestyle or even being a die-hard Democrat.  But how can we as a society be tricked into believing that hate can be legislated away?  It is madness.

This man is evil–he didn’t kill anyone because Obama is the President (if he did then he is less a hater than he is a nut job).  He didn’t kill the security guard because he hates Jews.  He killed him because he is evil, crazy or both.  And Liberals–Don’t you dare call him a right-wing extremist.  I dare say that lumping him in a catch-all label that includes conservatives is by its very nature “hateful.”

There are many faces of evil–but not every face.  Hatred doesn’t have a face because it is not a state of being, it is a way of thinking–and that, even when repulsive, should not be regulated.  We need to punish evil in our society and accept the fact that when someone does something evil, society, George Bush, Iraq, Big Oil, and Conservatives are not to blame.  The blame for what happened to that security guard rests in the soul of one man–Mr. von Brunn!

In case you don’t get the point, here are some more faces of evil:

Okay so maybe I’m being a little too dramatic, I mean–eggplant isn’t actually evil.

GM Bankrupt, New York Freezing, Obama Blowing our Money-Welcome to Summer!

In a not-so-surprising move today, GM filed bankruptcy.  In an even more not-so-surprising event, the Dow is surging ahead and having a great day.  At the time of this post (2:00 p.m. CST) the dow is up 235 points.  But no worries, as you have probably heard the US Government is going to own 60% of the company when it emerges from bankruptcy, after giving it another 500000000 gazillion dollars to assist it in its restructuring.

Once again, the government saves the day.  But wait, if the Dow going up after one of our biggest industries files bankruptcy isn’t weird enough, there’s more…

Much to the shagrin of Al Gore and his ilk, there is a freeze warning for New York today–yes TODAY!  But wait, don’t say no to this post yet, there’s even more…

Our fiscally conservative President, only weeks after telling us all we need to “have skin in the game” and we need to “tighten our belts” and we all need to participate in giving more, decides to take Michelle out on a date.  Not just any date though, a $24,000+ date.  Yes, instead of catching a show in the Presidental box at the world-famous Kennedy center, he decides to get 3 planes, 2 helicopters, staff, press, limos and all and hike it to New York city for dinner and a Broadway show.  One of the patrons in the restaurant allegedly overheard our President say something like “Let Them Eat Cake!  HA HA HA HA HA.”    Hmmmmm…. 

So let me be the first to welcome you to what will assuredly be a fantastic summer of fun, excitement and hypocrisy.  I mean just look at Michelle…

She got so exicted for her rich night out that she forgot she was a fashion icon and grabbed a purse that matches Air Force One, but not her dress.  Tsk, tsk, tsk.

Congrats GM, Dow, NY and of course, BHO for making the first day of our summer months weirder than the last 5 months.

Your Constitutional Right To Not Be Offended

of⋅fend–verb (used with object)

1.	to irritate, annoy, or anger; cause resentful displeasure in: Even the hint of prejudice offends me.

2.	to affect (the sense, taste, etc.) disagreeably.

3.	to violate or transgress (a criminal, religious, or moral law).

4.	to hurt or cause pain to.

5.	(in Biblical use) to cause to fall into sinful ways.

(source-Dictionary.com).  The United States Constitution has this pesky little area called The Bill of Rights.  Interestingly, during the Constitutional convention, many argued against drafting any of the first 10 amendments.  The thought was that if we actually delineate our rights, then we will limit ourselves to those rights and those alone.  They argued that we should have rights unlimited except by penal codes based on moral authority based on the 10 Commandments.  Ultimately, the argument won that we should have a list of rights so that those rights will be most definitely protected.

I have searched the Constitution and attempted to find this new right that has prevailed in our society for at least the last decade if not longer–The Right To Not Be Offended.  I just cannot find that dad gum right.

Nevertheless–it prevails.

Yesterday, Dallas local news ran a story about Debbie McLucas (one of my new heroes).  Ms. McLucas brought an American Flag to work at the Kindred Hospital in Mansfield in celebration of Memorial Day.  Ms. McLucas’ husband and two sons have served in our Armed Forces and her daughter is currently in Iraq.

To her shock and awe, her boss told her he was offended by the Flag and that she had to take it down!  Now, her boss is from Africa and was not born here.  So you can understand his feeling like his rights are being trampled on when he lives in America and has to stare at that hideous flag.  You can’t?

Well this makes sense doesn’t it?  I mean after all, the Supreme Court ruled in United States v. Eichman that burning the American Flag -is considered “symbolic speech” and is protected by the First Amendment.  So doesn’t it follow that simply hanging the Flag up in your office area at work would be offensive?  It doesn’t?

Well, I’m offended that you don’t get it so you should simply be removed from Internet access all together–your mere presence here is offensive to me.

Well, as long as we in society are going to allow rules at work and home and in public to be dictate by what offends each of us, I have a list of things that offend me and I would like them immediately removed from society.  If not, then I will be REALLY offended and may even have to file a lawsuit in Federal Court in some liberal place like Minnesota or Maine.

Here is my list:

1.   Physically Fit Men

I don’t look like this–and their mere presence in society is offensive–I want them fully clothed and off the beach-NOW!

2.  Democrat Congressmen..er… Congresspeople

They are elitist, they are voting in the most Socialistic agenda in our Nation’s history and I’m offended–deeply offended so they should all immediately resign.

3.  “Celebration”

If I go to one more wedding and hear this song I may actually go postal and wipe out the entire reception.  After hearing this song for 29 years, I have come to loathe it like beets.  And now, when I hear it, I’m simply offended–so I want every copy of it erased starting with this hideous video.

4.  Beets

Offensive, simply and plainly offensive–offensive color, shape, smell and especially taste.  I would like to see the complete eradication of all beets from our planet.

5.  Pro-Choice Rallies

and if that is not bad enough…

I think that speaks for itself.

6.  The View

Everyone pictured here is offensive.  Especially Joy-whose name is irony defined.  I’m mostly offended that four women can get paid gobs of money to sit around and talk about their personal views and gossip.  That is a job?  I’m offended–and I want it gone.

There’s more, but I really need to get to work–hey, you know what, having to work for money is offensive too.  I shouldn’t have to do that.  I think the Government ought to help me out–maybe it could take your tax dollars and give them to me–now that wouldn’t be offensive at all.

Way To Go California! Yes-I Just Said That!

Normally I think that the bumper sticker above is simply redundant.  I mean this is the State of Nancy Pelosi and San Francisco and OJ Simpson and I expect it to be a haven for liberal ideas.  Then the voters cast a “No” ballot for same-sex marriage and I thought maybe there was a break in the liberalism.  But I wasn’t convinced.  Well today I am.

Today this version of California was (at least for now) put to rest:

Today I read that California voters came out in and voted against five different tax hike proposals.  In fact, in all but one ballot vote the “No” votes were 65% or greater!  Now the California Legislature will have to figure out how to cut $23billion from the budget to avoid a deficit.  This is a clear message that the “tax and spend” ideas of the left are running out of support and steam.  California, a heavily taxed State already, has had enough.

Imagine–if California has had enough, how do you think people are feeling in Texas, Oklahoma, Alabama, Louisiana and other predominately Red States? 

So this post is a salute to the great State of California for finally pushing its voters hard enough that the conservatives have come out of their deep sleep and voted.  I can only hope that the rest of the Country will follow suit shortly.

So all of this “no taxes” stuff really has me excited.  I mean, maybe I could actually live in California–let’s see what it has to offer:

Okay, well…I guess I’ll just hang out here in Texas for a while–but way to go on that voting thing–which I have now already forgotten.

National Debt’s Accomplice–You and Me!

Of course we have known for a long time that Obama is in fact “Superman.”  It was revealed during his campaign when he posed next to one of his own statues:

And, of course the cartoon makers are racists since they have always depicted his cartoon and movie persona as a dashing dark haired white guy.  But that is a different post.

One of the things we here at MKCB have been trying to discover is what his actual superpower is.  I mean the cartoon version has super strength and x-ray vision and can leap tall buildings etc… but the “real” superman has to have a super-power.  What could it be?

For a while I thought it was super fast capitalism destruction or super socialism but today it was revealed in all its glory.  Before I reveal it to you let me show you how we got there.

Today in Rio Rancho, New Mexico, President Obama attended a town-hall style meeting.  In that speech he stated that “We can’t keep on just borrowing from China. “We have to pay interest on that debt, and that means we are mortgaging our children’s future with more and more debt.”

{thought bubble–”that’s odd, Barack never says stuff like that when he is in Washington”}

He went on to say that in reference to credit card debts, “We have been complicit in these problems,” he said. “We have to change how we operate. These practices have only grown worse in the midst of this recession.”

{thought bubble—hmmmm, how exactly does credit card debt relate to the National Debt?}

And there it is—the source of his real power.

Are you ready?

Barack Obama’s superpower is….Blame Shifting. 

I know, I know, you are stunned at this revelation–but it is true.  And it has been right in front of our eyes all along.  During the campaign he was a master at shifting blame for every ill in society to Republicans, the Bush administration and Big Oil.  Since taking over he has eloquently discussed how the problems he is facing were inherited and how he is here to solve them.

And now–with the velvet touch only he can provide, our President, in the same speech has somehow shifted the blame, at least in part, for our National Debt–which by the way is a product of Government spending–to us by telling You and Me that we have too much credit card debt.  Wow!–It is truly super.

Get ready–the next shift will be when sugary foods and our consumption of them will be the real culprit behind our health care “crisis” and therefore, high health care costs will be our fault as well.  He is a master.

So I have attempted to design a new costume that better fits his superpower.  I’ve seen this version:

But a big “Zero” on your chest doesn’t really inspire me too much.  The “S” is already taken so after much consideration I’ve come up with this:

You know, for “blame shifting.”    Hmmm…I think it fits him perfectly.

Health Care Reform, Taxes on Chips, Bankers Salaries, Oh My!

ALERT!–ALL SATIRE HAS BEEN PUSHED ASIDE FOR THIS POST.

-That’s right, I have decided that I simply cannot make light of the ongoing barrage of socialistic filth that is coming down from Mount Olympus, er… Washington D.C.  Today I heard a report on how Congress is considering taxing soft drinks, sugary foods and chips.  Which by the way, discriminates against fat people–didn’t I do a post about this at one time…

(See http://mklasing.wordpress.com/2007/12/17/instead-of-taxing-babies-how-about-taxing-caprisun/)

Then I heard a report about how Congress wants to regulate how bankers get paid–even with banks that did not take any bailout money.  Then I hear about how Nancy Pelosi has guaranteed a health care reform bill by August.

After my head exploded and I picked up the pieces of my severed skull and taped it back together I realized something that I have been denying for the past 7 months.  I am really really mad.  Not just a little mad–but REALLY mad.

Since the election I have tried to be understanding and humble about the outcome.  I know that although 58 million people did not vote for Barack Obama, 60 million did and those 60 million are entitled to their reasons and feelings and this is a free country and blah, blah, blah, blah.

However, numerous people have told me recently that they voted for Mr. Obama because they “were afraid that McCain was just another Bush,” or “I had no idea he would take us this far to the left,” or “we just needed a change,” or “I gave the Republicans 8 years and they didn’t take care of things.”  And now I’m just mad.

I’m mad at the voters–I’m mad at you if you voted for Barack Obama.  I know it seems like sour grapes and all that–but here is a newsflash for you liberals–it is not about ME winning or ME getting my way in the election.  It is about what is best for our Country.  It’s about not allowing all of our freedoms and liberties to be sucked into the socialistic vaccum cleaner of the Democratic Party.

So I’m Mad at each person who voted for Mr. Obama.  And as the Country slides further into socialism YOU are to blame.  When my daughter is 80 and cannot get a hip replacement without a 6 month wait-YOU are to blame.  When unemployment hits 20% under the thumb of over taxation and regulation, YOU are to blame.  When our military can no longer defend our Nation because of the dismantling of our post 9/11 defenses put in place by the Bush administration-YOU are to blame.  When we slip from lone Superpower to being dependent on the good graces of Europe, China and Russia-YOU are to blame.

So today I’m mad–I’ll get over it I suppose.  I don’t mean any offense to any liberals out there (and I know how easy you take offense–at least I didn’t post a giant picture of a nativity scene) or any friends who voted for Obama.  After all, I’m confident you will rectify this situation in 2012–I just hope it won’t be too late.
