The American War

After years of reading increasingly polarized comments one thing is crystal clear: This is not a debate.

Conservative commenters often write extensively researched pieces detailing how this or that assumption/policy/statement is incorrect; and the response is always-always-always the same: the commenter is lashed at for being a racist/fascist/water-carrier/christian or whatever other "demon of the day" term pops up in their magic 8 ball.

One constant: Liberals NEVER address the issues but default instead to name calling, unfounded accusations and the ever-present Bush hatred. Theirs can be called an argument only in the basest meaning of the word: Fight. Their only response is to attempt to discredit or - even better - silence the speaker. "Agree or Die!" The next two steps, imprison or Kill, cannot be far behind.

The masses of Obama supporters know nothing of what they support, and care even less. Obama is not Bush. Democrats are not Republicans. Nothing else matters. Knowledge, Reason, Facts, Logic are unnecessary. Al Gore showed the way with his global warming/cooling/changing hoax. All Liberal positions "settled science". The time for discussion is arbitrarily declared over, and opposing viewpoints are things standing in their way, and the destruction of those holding them are the only course of action.

Unfortunately we are fast approaching the point at which the only resolution will be the total annihilation of one side or the other. Meaningful dialog cannot take place in this climate, and the Liberal leaders not only know this, but are already planning for it: Obama's "private military force": his "enemies list" currently limited to ex-military and those with bumper stickers, but soon to include anyone who didn't vote for him; his all out assault on everyone with money or the chance of making it; etc. These are the first steps in the Civil War that they know is coming. They expect to win it and are preparing for it.

This is not a dialog... not a struggle... this is a WAR which is already underway. And Conservatives, stuck in their belief that there are certain Truths in this world - that Americans share certain Values - are unprepared and hopelessly naive of the extent to which their opponents are willing to go.

This will not end well.

An Actor is now our president.

A half-dozen “entities”, most led by insane tyrants, are openly displaying their desire to attack or otherwise destroy the US and/or its allies.

Russia, anxious to reclaim super power status, encourages or directly supports most of these efforts.

China stands just off stage, hoping to fill the vacuum left by a diminished United States.
Most of the rest of the world roots, not so silently, for the Big Dog’s fall.

Our Allies (if they can be called that) hide in the bushes (no pun intended) – preparing their “I was with you all along” speeches to whoever wins.

Our own media would, apparently, like nothing better than to see America reduced to the level of, say… Canada; and regularly publishes every secret they can get their hands on (or invent) to hasten that end.

Not to mention the “perfect storm” which threatens to collapse the very foundation of our economy. The seeds of this collapse were planted by the Democrats and grew out of the very socialist agenda that Obama espouses, and they share at least equal guilt with Republicans for their eyes-closed supervision of the resultant economic catastrophe.

In the midst of all this, we elect the most radical, most socialist, most anti-war president this nation has ever had. A man who thinks he can talk his way out of anything. A man who, in two years as a senator, thinks he knows more about running a war that anyone. A man who wants to “spread around” our wealth, 33% of which has just vaporized. A man who shamelessly plays pre-emptive race cards. And a man who silences, or demeans, or dismisses as “distraction”, any and all opposing views or criticisms.

He (Capital He) has said that he will make everything better… and he has told us, in no uncertain terms, that he will solve our problems with the very same things that caused them in the first place. And we (very small we) have decided to trust him – even though his lies have repeatedly been exposed… even though his associates are undeniably anti-American… even though his penchant for secrecy and his thirst for power have been on obvious display for his entire public life.

But he talks so nice… he looks so good… he reads so well.

The Era of American Idol has come to fruition.

An Orator… an Actor without a screen credit to his name is now our president.

Slim hope for our future.

Well, it appears that a majority of voters, led by the Oberman's, the NYTimes, and the rest of mainstream media, are about to elect a smooth talking nobody as President of this once-great country of ours.

Obama's many distasteful ties to criminals, racists, socialists have been ignored as "distractions".

His own words confirming his socialist leanings: ignored.

His total lack of experience: ignored.

His claim of post-partisanship (completely disproven by his record) is ignored.

His blatant use of Racism throughout his campaign (and his life) is ignored.

All labeled as "distractions"... as we roll onward with vague dreams of hope and change, supplied to us by a man who is totally without substance or experience... his only qualification for the office being that he has been running for it his entire adult life.

I am tempted again to say that we deserve what we will get; but most of us don't... because most Obama voters - blinded by their insane hatred of George Bush - have been fooled by the media, or forced by the Thought Police into thinking that voting against Obama is a racist act. If, indeed, we are that weak as individuals... maybe we do deserve what we will get for the next 4 years with radicals Pelosi & Reid & Murtha & Durbin & Schumer & Rangel & Wexler, et al, in total and unimpeded command of our Government. Checks & Balances, a system which has kept this country from veering too far in either direction, will no longer exist... and that is what scares me most.

The only bright spot that I can find here is the sincere hope that this cadre of radicals will be so caught up in their endless investigations attempting to blame everything on Bush, that they will not get around to completely dismantling the America that has led the world for 200 years. My hope is that America willl survive these next four years, that the socialist wing of the Democrat Party will have failed in its final attempt to transform the U.S. into its exact opposite, and that Democrat Party itself will become a historical footnote.

A nice thought, but a very slim hope, indeed.

Destroying America

The ACLU crowd seems to think that the U.S. is already a fascist state, citing as evidence Guantanamo and wiretapping among others. I think that efforts to defend the U.S. against terrorists are being ham-strung by the fact that primary consideration must be given to "proper" treatment of those very terrorists as we pursue them and after they are apprehended.

So there you are. Two opinions that couldn't be more opposite, resulting in the exact same answer to the simplistic question about the country's "direction". Is the U.S. headed in the right direction? A rousing "NO" erupts from both ends of the spectrum and, I would assume, from most of the middle as well.

And yet, the media always - ALWAYS - presents this as a referendum against Administration policies.

Go figure!

This country will never again be "united". And maybe it wouldn't be such a bad thing to be a 50-50, left-right country. It is the fanatics, the closed-minded radicals, who turn what could be a healthy give-and-take government process into a hate-filled internal war in which only the total annihalation of the opposing viewpoint is acceptable. Both sides have their "fringes", but the fringe comprises about 75% of the Left, making compromise impossible. So we're doomed. In spite of the inherant goodness, creativity, generosity and productivity of it's people, America's Political Class is well on its way to destroying our country.

Between the Rich and the Poor.

Between the Educated Elite and the Working Class.

Between those who want Racism to continue and those who want it to end (although both "say" pretty much the same thing.

Between those who are heavily invested in Inequality and those who pretty much think it doesn't really exist.Between those who the individuals are responsible for their own lives and those who think their lives, prosperity and happiness are the Government's responsibility.

Between those who believe in the rules and those who want to change them.

Between those who are Proud of America and those who are Ashamed of her.

A thousand opposing groups, some natural and real, most created for political purposes; but all exploited by this party or (more likely) that party to pit us against each other.

Kruschev said "We will destroy you from within" and America has responded to that with a resounding FUCK YOU, RUSSKI! WE'LL DESTROY OURSELVES!

Lindsay Lohan Lashes Out at Sarah Palin - WHAT????

Are you KIDDING me????

When headlines like this (from some site called Showbizspy.com) are actually linked on Drudge, I'm afraid, the end of the world as we knew it cannot be far behind.

Lindsay Lohan makes Streisand seem intelligent. If there is one person on this earth who actually is influenced by what this insane teenybopper whorechild thinks about anything - much less about Sarah Palin or politics in general - I want to hear from you now. Please!

9/11 comments

9/11 -- The Democrats would like us to forget the events of Sep 11, 2001 as they have. They think that acknowledging a threat brings attention to National Security, and that is the last thing they want us to think about because it highlights their weakness on the subject and if that happens... then the worst thing of all might happen: They might lose an election.

And nothing - I repeat - NOTHING could be worse than that. Political Power is the only thing that most Democrats hold dear. Everything else is secondary. Everything else can, and indeed, should be used in whatever manner necessary to promote the only item on their agenda - Winning - no matter what the cost.

Media Bias -- This is the most self-evident topic of the last century and I shouldn't even waste your time or my own with these few words. I made an observation today - yes, just today... I'm a little slow - that, in the past three years or so, there hasn't been an article written on Iraq, or the Military, or George Bush, or Petraus, or the Surge, or the War on Terror, or any other related subjec, which didn't mention that either Bush or the War was (and I think this is the exact phrase that has been used in 90% of those articles) is "increasingly unpopular".

If anyone locates an article without this phrase in any main stream article, please link me to it.

NYT suddenly concerned with ETHICS!

Excerpt from NYT July 12, 2007

"McCain Call Raises an Ethics Question
By DAVID D. KIRKPATRICK and MICHAEL COOPER

About 3 p.m. Tuesday, Senator John McCain ducked off the Senate floor, entered the Republican cloakroom and took out his mobile phone. Just hours after accepting the resignation of his two top campaign aides, he was making a conference call to his top fund-raisers to urge them to keep up the fight.

The call, however, may only have exacerbated an already tough week for Mr. McCain. Senate ethics rules expressly forbid lawmakers to engage in campaign activities inside Senate facilities. If Mr. McCain solicited campaign contributions on a call from government property, that would be a violation of federal criminal law as well."

No campaign activities inside Senate facilities??? Are you kidding?????? What else has been going on in there for the past 25 years? And how many life sentences do you think Harry Reid will get? At least Mcain had the decency to go to the cloakroom.

And it seems that the MMMedia is only interested in ethics when a Republican is involved. (Bill Clinton, William Jefferson... Harry Reid, anyone?).

Is it even remotely possible that the Times doesn't see the irony and hypocrisy of this article?

"America's most respected news source." BULLSHIT. I can't take much more of this.

Bogus Immigration Arguments

Republicans (so the story goes) hate all Americans (except for Rich White Americans); Democrats love all Americans (except for Rich White Americans) but hate America herself [but don't call them unpatriotic, cuz they're not].

Racism/Bigotry – This ubiquitous accusation is the Left’s default charge against anyone who opposes any part of their agenda. Like most of the terms that Liberals use to demonize their opposition, it no longer has any meaning whether relevant or not.

In the case of Illegal Immigration the Race card is being played incessantly as the Democrats pursue more “poor” votes, whatever the cost to America.

A very large group of people have broken into our country, disrespecting our sovereignty and our laws, and have proceeded to disproportionately (and negatively) influenced our already over-loaded healthcare system, our welfare system, and our crime rate… adding significantly to our problems and very little to their solutions – [I know: “they do the jobs that we won’t do”… some do, yes, but many, many others join gangs, become criminals, milk our systems, and generally go about trashing our country. In any case, this “jobs we won’t do” thing is our problem and the marketplace would resolve it.]

That same group of people is demanding to be treated as American Citizens while waving Mexican flags and refusing to act like American Citizens – speaking English, for example.

Under these circumstances, I don’t care what color these people are; I don’t want them to be allowed to come here and behave this way. If that turns out to be racist, then I’m a racist.

“But what about the Irish? They were considered a bunch of trouble-makers and eventually made great contributions to America.”
True. But there are a few differences. In the era when the Irish (and others) were coming to the U.S. we had laws, and we were willing to enforce them… police were allowed to “police”… the Left had not yet invented political correctness (which will btw be the thing that finally destroys America) and the welfare state. These early immigrants came here to take advantage of the opportunities that America offered, and they demanded nothing – they worked for it, became Americans, melted into our pot and succeeded. They didn’t come here to take advantage of our systems, flaunt our laws, and pretend they still live in Ireland.

It’s a different America today, and in the next few decades it’s going to get a whole lot more different… and not in a good way.

Defining a CRISIS

The failure of Social Security, which is unanimously agreed to be inevitable (not “if” but “when) which really is a consensus – is not a “Crisis” and is ignored.

The flood of illegal immigrants into our country is not a “Crisis”; and the 80-plus percent of Americans of all persuasions who want secure borders before amnesty for illegal immigrants – are ignored.

The Global Jihad, whose stated purpose is the destruction of Western Civilization and America in particular, and which, if allowed to continue to exist (whether it succeeds or not). will end “life as we know it” long before the climate takes its toll – is not a “Crisis” and is ignored or, at best, considered a law enforcement issue.

The damage to America’s credibility if we abandon our commitment to the people of Iraq (ie: the complete destruction of America’s position of leadership in the world – is not a “Crisis” and is never even mentioned.

The total and continued failure of our public education system – is not a “Crisis” and is ignored.

These and other immediate threats could change our way of life long before the highly debatable effects of Climate Change will ever be felt.

Global Warming is theory, which became an “issue”, and was quickly raised to “crisis level” by those on the Left, who see it as a opportunity bash Bush, promote socialism and big government, and above all, to make political gains. In this instance, a majority of legitimate climate science who acknowledge that the earth has warmed over the past century is extrapolated to mean that there is an undeniable “consensus” that global warming – sorry, climate change – is A) caused almost entirely by humans (ie: Americans) and B) will end life as we know it unless Government legislates behavioral changes.

These days, a "crisis" is a purely political term. A crisis is whatever gains votes for the Democrats, hurts Republicans, or or discredits America.

The greatest threat to the United States is the Democratic Party, which is now a wholly owned subsidiary of the Far Far Left aiding and abetting every Anti-American movement in the world.

Jimmy Carter - PATHETIC

Jimmy "peanuts" Carter makes Benedict Arnold seem patriotic.

He shamed the office of President (and America) when he held it.

He shames the position of Ex-President (and America) now.

IMMIGRATION: If the roof leaks, get floating furniture.

May 23, 2007

We all know why the Democrats want amnesty and open borders. Votes. Pure and Simple. No one doubts it, and few even bother to deny it. More poor and dependent “americans”, legal or not, means more government programs and a bigger welfare state; and that equals more Democrats elected.

Conservative opposition to both amnesty and open borders is framed (by the left as always) as racism, sometimes with paranoia added.

Is it possible though, that the opposition from the Right is just as simple as the support from the left. Maybe Conservatives don’t support amnesty because they believe in the Rule of Law upon which this country was founded. Maybe the Conservatives oppose open borders because they know that the result will be another “non-amnesty” arrangement 10-20 years down the road.

National ID - ACLU

May 8, 2007
What is the problem with a strict national ID program in this country? We are no longer able to travel outside the US without a passport, which while possible to obtain fraudulently, is far more difficult than getting a New Jersey driver’s license, for example. I didn’t hear a peep regarding the passport requirements for international travel. I must admit that I don’t know what they are but whatever arguments exist against the National ID, shouldn’t those same arguments apply to international travel requirements? Where’s the outrage. Or, in the case of the proposed National ID… where is the outrage coming from?
One rule of thumb that can be applied to any security related initiative: If the ACLU is against a program, that program is very likely good for America. The converse is also true.

Bias in the Headlines

May 7, 2007
Headline: Bush's Approval Rate Falls to 28 Percent
Link: http://newsmax.com/archives/ic/2007/5/6/151904.shtml?s=ic

Comment: To demonstrate how deeply the “bad news for Bush” bias has invaded the media, Newsmax, an admittedly conservative website, runs this misleading headline. I’m sure that all of the standard anti-Bush sites had run it days earlier. Citing a Newsweek poll on Bush’s “popularity” is one step above citing Rosie O’donnell’s opinion on the same subject.
There are no headlines citing the fact that Bush’s figures have not changed substantially in two years. No headlines citing a rise to 39% in Rasmussen’s poll, or 38% in Fox News’ poll. No mention of the equally dismal approval rates for Congress.
And you will never see such headlines, because news is no longer news. News is Agenda – the agenda being to destroy Bush the man and his presidency; and anything that does not conform to that agenda is simply suppressed.
Similarly, there has never been a single positive headline on Iraq since Saddaam’s capture; but every suicide bombing is trumpeted from the rooftops.
Bias. Agenda. Politics. That’s what passes for “news” today.

ABC and the DC Madam

Headline: Network refuses to name clients of 'DC madam'
Link: http://news.independent.co.uk/world/americas/article2516738.ece

Comment: ABC did not release the client list of the DC madam for one of two reasons. Either there were no prominent conservatives (Administration officials) on the list; or the list contained some prominent liberals. Don't fear. No publishing the list did not promote the Left's agenda.

Pissing in the Wind

Foolishly, I have chosen to return to infrequent posting here at the internet's most desolate place. In my opinion this country is in a nearly hopeless state, and will continue to deteriorate unless and until some strong - and I mean STRONG - leadership emerges. That leadership is not on the horizon.

Nonetheless, there are things about which I simply can't remain silent. So even though it is very likely that no one will ever read my words, I am back to piss in the wind.

Another Canadian "Gets It"

David Warren, writing in the Ottawa Citizen (of all places) gets it right on Iraq like no politically correct American writer or commentator has the balls to think, much less write or say.

http://www.realclearpolitics.com/articles/2006/12/what_to_do_in_iraq.html

The generation that destroyed America

In 2007 and for the foreseeable future – to be American means less. It means nothing good.

We are exactly what Osama bin Laden said we were: rich, fat, soft, lazy, selfish, unfocussed and unprincipled.

We have proven ourselves to be arrogant, self-flagellating cowards, bent on appeasing the rest of the world into loving us despite the fact that they never will, and despite the fact that in doing so, we will destroy the country, and ourselves, in the process.

Apparently embarrassed by our strength, we celebrate our weakness – seeking it out and happily exposing it to our enemies. We provide aid and comfort to our enemies while handcuffing our own forces.

We destroy our leaders who may be flawed but at least want America to continue to exist; and we elect new leaders who, for 50 years, have never failed to undermine America’s strength and progress – simply because we “are not happy” with the way things are going this week.

We break our promises without compunction or guilt. Many thousands will die when we surrender in Iraq – just as millions died when we abandoned Viet Nam… and we don’t care.

And, in breaking those promises, we betray our young men and women by asking them to fight and die in a cause that we have declared invalid.

We abandon our principles when we can’t get the courts to change them and we sentence our children and grandchildren to a world of hatred and violence. A world in which the United States of America, if it exists at all, will be a place – but no longer a dream.

I am ashamed to be a part of the generation that destroyed America.

U.S. - The funeral is over. The burial begins.

It adds to the shame of the American People and their government that the most sincere criticism of recent events, and the most urgent and valid warnings of future events, is coming from non-Americans.

Mark Steyn and David Warren (Canadians, no less) make more sense than all of America’s media and blogs put together. Christopher Hitchens (although recently becoming a U.S. citizen) should be added to this list.

Having won the 2006 elections by undermining our war effort since day one, the Democrats, perceiving that they have been given a mandate to do so, will proceed in short order to abandon Iraq to Terror. At the same time – as Steyn and Warren so clearly explain – they will be abdicating America’s place as leader of the free world. With no one to replace the U.S., freedom itself is now doomed. It is only a matter of time. These Canadian writers and this ex-Brit know this; America's entitlement society will know it some years after it is gone.

Pelosi, Murtha, Kennedy, Biden and their crew started it. Chickenshit RINO’s piled on. The media pounded the message without interruption for two solid years or more. Bush allowed all this to happen without presenting a coherent defense. And the voting public (some 42% of eligible voters) has sealed the deal, abandoning the Iraqi people and betraying our brave soldiers one final time.

Americans, once the envy of the world, have become the pathetic, self-indulgent, weak-willed cowards that bin Laden claimed we were.

The funeral is over. The burial begins.

It's Hard Not To Be Optimistic

Pelosi
Reid
Durban
Biden
Rangel
Conyers
Murtha
Kennedy
Clinton
Frank

These and other Leftists, Liars, Traitors and Race-baiters are the “leaders” who will take us into the future. These are the “leaders” who will “protect” us from Terrorism and an ever-growing number of Nuclear Bullies.

Every life that has been lost in the War on Terror is rendered irrelevant as is the war itself. Our servicemen could not be blamed for refusing duty and indeed should do just that. We - not they - are the deserters.

At this most critical point in modern history, the November 7 election has put into power a party whose only platform is to promote hatred (of George Bush) and class/race/gender/religious conflict. The Democrats have no suggestions, much less solutions, for the real issues of the day - issues that will destroy western civilization. The American People have spoken; and they have revealed themselves to be cowards and gullible fools.

It’s hard not to be optimistic. (If you are an Islamic Terrorist.)

Thank God for Stupid Voters

Let me be the first to say (the day Before the election) how happy I am that Dick Morris – inventor of Government by Polling and Personal Destruction, self-professed political genius and Carl Rove wannabe – was wrong, wrong, wrong in his predictions of a Republican “Massacre” on Nov 7.

Mr. Morris sees politics as a game, where PR determines the outcome and, in many ways, he is correct. The Democrats (Clintons) began this approach under Morris’ guidance and have since nearly perfected the art to become a party which relies almost entirely on Illusion.

It is my deepest hope that the American People, when faced with a choice between relative safety (Republican leadership) and clear danger (Democrat leadership), will see past the Left’s slight of hand and will vote to remain America.

The Republicans will lose a few seats tomorrow as the incumbent party nearly always does in second term off year elections. Only the illusionists like Morris will be able to interpret this minor and expected defeat as a massacre.
The Dems and their media partners have been touting a landslide for months now, and anything less will be failure. But they will never admit that. Morris & Co. will see any such “loss” as a rift in the universe and will find excuses (outside their ideology of course) for the failure of the American People to realize the Left’s destiny.

On Nov 8 the Democrats will not be in control of either house of Congress.

Thank God for stupid voters.

Mark Steyn clears it all up here

Quote of the Century (so far):

History is on the march and the anti-Bush crowd is holding the telescope the wrong way round. - - - - - Mark Steyn

Cancel all the disgusting political ads and speeches, cancel the commentary. Mark Steyn (A Canadian) has said it all in 17 words.

His article here is a complete and devastating case against Anti-War crowd.

Dems literally have no viable positions

The anti-Bush/War/Etc crowd always presents the same tired set of false arguments issued by the DNC - designed to further hatred and fear of the opposition:
Repbulicans are Nazi's (3 yrs old)
Republicans steal elections (6 yrs old)
Republicans have pals in this or that big business (50 yrs old)
Rove-Cheney-Rumsfeld axis of evil (3 yrs old)
Republicans issue phony terrorist alerts (3 yrs old)
600,000 dead Iraqi's (1 month old)
Republicans are racists (40 yrs old)
Republicans are rich and therefore against the common man (50+ yrs old)
Republicans are religious zealots (10 yrs old)

In campaigning, just as in governing, the Democratic party has nothing but negativity to offer. They believe that politics is a game where positioning and trickery, not actions, determine the outcome. The Dems cannot comprehend, much less discuss, principles because they have none (other than gaining or preserving power). Go ahead, search any website you like and survey the articles and comments... other than their false promises to take everything away from "rich" America and give it to "poor" America (shameless vote buying), the Dems have not one positive reason as to why they should be given the reins of Congress. Not one.

Commentors supporting the right use actual arguments:
Republcans are stronger on security
Republcans are stronger on terrorism
Republcans are stronger on (and Dems are against) the Patriot Act
Republcans are stronger on (and Dems are against) the NSA program
Republcans are stronger on (and Dems are against) winning the War in Iraq
Republcans are stronger on (and Dems are against) reducing the tax burden
Republcans are stronger on (and Dems are against) fignting illegal immigration

While not perfect by a long shot, the Republicans overwhelmingly reflect the attitude of the vast majority of America on every one of these issues - issues that the Democrats refuse to debate. No wonder though - the Dems literally have no viable position on any of these subjects.

Peggy Noonan should be ashamed of herself

Peggy Noonan has joined the conservative throng, thrusting her knife into the President’s back while mimicking any random leftist with accusations of incompetence, stubbornness and political motivation.

Peggy Noonan knows George W. Bush.

Peggy Noonan is a traitor.

Peggy Noonan is playing politics as much as John Kerry or Howard Dean.

She knows that none of these things she is saying about Bush are true and yet she writes her little assassination piece today, not because she believes it, but because she wants to ingratiate herself to the “true” conservatives that she expects to abandon the vote next week, purposely allowing the Left to take control of Congress.

Peggy Noonan should be ashamed of herself.

But instead, when the Republicans hold both the house and the senate on Nov 7, she will rework her "theory" to align herself with the winning side; and she will expect to be forgiven for her betrayal.

Viet Nam Redux - The Paper Tiger Strikes Again

Viet Nam redux. We’re doing it again.

We are “fighting” a “war” using insufficient force and with our hands tied behind our back. In trying to fight a “pretty” and politically correct war we have set ourselves an unachievable goal; we have done a disservice to those who have fought and died valiantly; we have weakened America’s stance on the world stage; and we have shamed ourselves.

There is no such thing as a clean war. War is ugly. Innocent people die. War is meant to be fought to win. If you don’t fight to win you shouldn’t fight at all. If you don't fight to win, your enemies will cease to fear you. The end actually does sometimes justify the means.

We could end this war in a month; but we won’t. Instead we will continue to go through the motions, sacrificing a few dozen brave American boys and girls every month until the Democrats and RINO’s forfeit the game.

America has become the Paper Tiger that its enemies have always asserted.

The Media is Unbiased... Right.

George Allen, Republican, VA Senator running for re-election, refers one time to an admitted video stalker who has been dogging Allen for months, as macaca. It turns out that macaca is a kind of monkey and in some European sub-cultures the word is used as a racial slur against some race or another. Not a single person in the United States knew that this word had racial application until the media informed us. Allen claims to be ignorant of the word’s meaning like the rest of us and apologizes every day for a month.

The Allen story “broke” in August and is to this day referred to every time Senator Allen’s name is mentioned.

The house minority whip, Steny Hoyer, a Democrat, repeatedly uses racial keywords against Republican candidate Michael Steele, Maryland’s current Lt-Gov. and a black man. Hoyer apologizes for this word, claims that word was taken out of context. The words involved were “slavish” and “token” – racially charged words that everyone knows the meaning of.

The story pops very small for one news cycle and it’s gone.

The media is unbiased.

Tom Delay is accused of misusing political funds and indicted by a fanatical prosecutor in Texas who is a known Democrat operative. Delay resigns immediately – his career is ended. Delay’s activities (still unproven a year later) are held up by the Democrats and their media mouthpieces as clear evidence of Republican corruption.

This story dominates all news outlets for a month, continuing even after Delay’s resignation.

Harry Reid accepts contributions from Abramoff (another “Republican corruption” icon). Reid also misuses political funds to tip his servants at the Ritz-Carlton in Washington. He also fails to report over a million dollars in income that he received from very shady real estate deals in his home district. Reid indignantly claims he did nothing wrong. He refuses to return the Abramoff money, but proceeds (without apology) to reimburse his campaign for the misused money, and amends his financial reports for the past 5 years.

This story is not even carried in mainstream media.

Boils down to this: A Republican Senator is accused of shoplifting – ACCUSED – and his career is over; while a Democrat who is actually caught robbing a bank simply returns the money and wipes the slate clean.

The media is unbiased.

Can we be this stupid?

As I mentioned a few days ago, it is virtually unanimous that “the sky is falling” for Republicans on Nov 7.

This was to be expected from the eternally optimistic Democrats, whose “plan” has been to undermine the War Effort, the Administration and Republicans by any means necessary and then win by default, without presenting a position on a single issue.

The Leftist press has, of course, supported this “plan” by exposing national secrets whenever possible (NSA, secret prisons); by keeping any negative story (Cheney’s hunting accident, gay Foley) on the front page as long as possible; and by ignoring any story that might be considered positive for the U.S. or the Administration (economy, unemployment, safety) or negative for the Democrats (no ideas, Jefferson’s $90K freezer, Harry Reid’s shady dealings).

Pollsters, as always, skew their polls to come up with whatever “results” they want to.

Unfortunately now, most conservative pundits have fallen for this con, and are predicting a well-deserved and unavoidable landslide defeat for Republicans in Congress this Fall… to be followed immediately by predictions of a Democrat landslide in 2008. (The most recent - and most surprising - ship-jumper being Fred Barnes today.)

Politics has always been ugly, but this year is the worst I’ve seen. Positive ads or speeches or even positive statements are few and far between. Ask a Democrat why he/she should be elected and the answer will be “because my opponent is bad”.

I’ve seen back to back ads like this:

Candidate A’s ad: “Congressman B voted against increasing the minimum wage.”
Congressman B’s ad: “I voted to increase the minimum wage.”

Someone is lying and it should be pretty easy to prove who it is. But the Democrats have little interest in Truth, and the Republicans are incompetent at presenting it. The press, upon whom we used to rely to sort these things out, has abandoned Truth altogether.

According to the polls, the pundits and the Democrats, Americans are believing what they hear most often (ie: relentlessly) : that Bush and the Republicans have screwed things up, and therefore they have to go… period. Game Over. Democrats are the only choice.

This election is – according to most – going to have been decided by a combination of lies, over-exaggerations, and non-stories, while major – civilization threatening events are being completely ignored.

Once again I have to ask: Can we be this stupid? Or is it just Washington?

We’ll find out Nov 7.

Jack Straw is right - Take off the Veils

Jack Straw is taking shit for stating the obvious about the veils worn by Muslim women. I’m not going to the effort to look up the “correct” word – because this is not about being “correct” and it is not about what the thing is called; and it is not about Religion, by which I of course mean ISLAM – the only religion that matters these days.

These full body veils are essentially disguises which prevent not only communication with but the simple identification of their wearers. They do not bear comparison to the Jewish skullcap, the cross, the collar, or any other religious item worn by followers of any other religion. Religion or not, we – the rest of the world – have every right to refuse to deal with people wearing these disguises.

A mall, an airline, a theme park, a bank, a doctor or any other business would not only be entitled, but would be smart, to refuse to deal with people who hide their face, identity, sex, weapons and whatever, behind a full body covering, whether it is in the name of religion or not. Muslim women: wear whatever you like but if you want to ride the bus, get a loan, shop for new underwear, go to school, or drive a car - take off the veils.

A year or so ago, a driver’s license agent in Virginia or somewhere refused to allow one of these Muslim fools to have her license picture taken wearing her veil. A court upheld that decision. Now Jack Straw joins the very small group who have had the sense – and the balls – to stand up to this politically correct bullshit while the rest of the world grovels before the threat of Islamic violence.

I guarantee no Democratic sweep.

On this date – October 8, 2006 - I guarantee that the Democrats will not (repeat: WILL NOT) take control of either the House or the Senate on November 7. Democratic gains will be minimal (1 Senate seat, 4 House seats) at best.

I don’t say this based on any extensive polling or analysis.

I say this based on what I like to call Logic.

Yes, the War in Iraq has not been the “slam dunk” that the naïve and gullible American Public have come to “expect” by virtue of the last ONE war America was involved in.

And Yes, the Republican led Congress has accomplished virtually nothing of any value in the past two years (due to a large extent to that same undermining, obstruction and obfuscation by the “opposition” party and the overwhelmingly liberal media).

And Yes, there is a problem of corruption in our government which, although presented by the media as a nearly exclusive Republican problem, is correctly perceived by that same American Public as systemic and not tied to one party or the other.

But a citizenry can only be relied on to be so naïve and gullible, as the Left is about to find out. At some point, reason and logic will surface. Although I would have said (and did say) this same thing in 1996, 2000 and 2004, in this – the most important decade in modern American History - any Logical analysis of the current world situation, could not possibly allow this country to be led by the Democratic party.

If I am right, it will be business as usual; with the Democrats continuing to try to prevent any positive action of any kind; but there will still be hope for America because a majority of its people will have shown that they still can manage to think for themselves.

If I am wrong, then I hold out no hope for America’s future. A Democratic win in 2006 and worse, a Democratic President in 2008, will be the beginning of the end and the United States, as we know it, will cease to exist sometime in the next 12 years.

Liberals, be careful what you wish for. You are much more effective and – even more importantly, much less accountable – as the minority.

Happy Anniversary to Me

It has been one year since I began my sporadic blog and, in that year, I have received not a single comment and , I assume, have been read by no one.

This, even though, having re-reading many (not all) of my sometimes overly opinionated and under-reasearched posts, I have found them to be well in advance of and usually more honest than similar observations by much-read writers in both MSM and the blogosphere.

I do not take this to be a "commentary" on my opinions or a judgement on my skills as a writer-observer. I assume it is for the most part a function of glut. Nonetheless, I would have (and did) expect that some wayward reader would have by now stumbled into my little space here, and left some sign of his agreement or disagreement.

This has not been the case and I can't in good faith expect that it will change during my lifetime. However I will continue my sporadic postings as I find it a small antidote to the endless politicizing of important issues with which we are inundated. Someday someone will read my rants; and, in my tiny way, I will have documented for posterity that - as the United States laid on its deathbed - there was still at least one sane American who realized that he was attending a funeral and behaved accordingly.

Ounceoflogic.

Q & A

Question:

Can the actions of a single individual or an infinitesimally small group of individuals be extended to reflect the policy of the group to which they are associated?

Answer:

Yes. If the small group or individual is a member of a) the American Military [ Abu Graib, the 7 Generals, etc.], or b) the Republican Party, [Duke Cunningham, Mark Foley]; and if the actions in question can be used to undermine the a) Bush Administration, b) war effort, or c) the safety or integrity of the United States.

No. If the group (regardless of its size) or individual is a member of a) the American Left [Sheehan, Baldwin, Wilson + 100], b) Mainstream Media [NYTimes, Dan Rather, CNN, AP, Reuters, +1000], or c) the Democratic Party [Murtha, Durbin, Pelosi, Kennedy, + 1000]; and if the actions in question might jeopardize the chances of the Democrats returning to power.

Philip Shenon: Schizo

Philip Shenon: Fair and unBalanced.

This guy Philip Shenon, apparently a writer for NYimes, has invented a whole new journalism. As you see below, he writes a byline on October 1, 2006 stating that the 9/11 Commission wasn’t told about this Tenet-Rice Meeting in 2001.

The very next day, he writes an article that completely and utterly disproves everything he said the day before while completely ignoring his totally wrong and inflammatory article of the previous day.

He writes a bogus story one day and gets his big scoop on all the left wing sites… then he shreds his own story the next day without ever mentioning the first byline. Check this schizo's snips below.

By the way... if Shenon's second story is true (and he does cite Richard Ben-Veniste, note exactly a Bush shill)... the Bob Woodward is a liar. Hmm?

9/11 Panel Members Weren’t Told of Meeting
By PHILIP SHENON

WASHINGTON, Oct. 2 — Members of the Sept. 11 commission said today that they were alarmed that they were told nothing about a White House meeting in July 2001 at which George J. Tenet, then the director of central intelligence, is reported to have warned Condoleezza Rice, then the national security adviser, about an imminent Al Qaeda attack and failed to persuade her to take action.

Records Show Tenet Briefed Rice on Al Qaeda Threat
By PHILIP SHENON and MARK MAZZETTI

Mr. McCormack also said records show that the Sept. 11 commission was informed about the meeting, a fact that former intelligence officials and members of the commission confirmed on Monday.

But both current and former officials took issue with Mr. Woodward’s account that Mr. Tenet and his aides left the meeting in frustration, feeling as if Ms. Rice had ignored them.

Mr. Tenet told members of the Sept. 11 commission about the July 10 meeting when they interviewed him in early 2004, but committee members said the former C.I.A. director never indicated he had left the White House with the impression that he had been ignored.

“Tenet never told us that he was brushed off,” said Richard Ben-Veniste, a Democratic member of the commission. “We certainly would have followed that up.”

Mr. McCormack said the records showed that, far from ignoring Mr. Tenet’s warnings, Ms. Rice acted on the intelligence and requested that Mr. Tenet make the same presentation to Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld and Attorney General John Ashcroft.

But Mr. Ashcroft said by telephone on Monday evening that he never received a briefing that summer from Mr. Tenet.

FLASH: War Results In Violence

Some Washington committee today announced – no doubt after months and millions spent on investigating – that… (better sit down now)… there is more Terrorism today than there was five years ago.

Let me clarify this blockbuster revelation:

After the tremendous “success” of the WTC bombings, the many appeasements from the Spanish, French, Danish, German and even our own governments, and the tremendous support that they are getting in the Worldwide Media, the Terrorists (amazingly enough) have become emboldened to increase their activities.

One more time – and remember Millions of YOUR Dollars were spent to make this incredible observation:

There is more war during the war than there was before the war began.

Whooda thought?

This, of course, is proof positive to the Left that the War on Terror essentially created Terror; and therefore, logically, George Bush is the cause of all of today’s problems. If only he hadn’t "started" this war there would be no problems.

Make sense?

Fight with Dollars

A thought:

We stop - not curtail - STOP buying oil from Iran, Venezuela, and any other country actively promoting conflict with us.

Result 1: $4 gas. $5 gas.
Result 2: The bottom falls out from under the insane tyrants who run these countries as if they were launching pads for their personal careers on the international stage.
Result 3: The people of these countries get fed up with it and overthrow these maniacs, replacing them with more reasonable leaders who are able to maintain a relationship with the rest of the world.

I, for one, am willing to make this contribution to the "war effort". But it won't happen for two reasons.

Our government doesn't have the balls to do anything that might impose a "hardship" on the populace. While politics and power are the obvious driving forces behind the cowardice of our govenment, the bottom line is that our "leaders" suspect that we, the American People, will no longer accept any incovenience... any interruption or intrusion into our everyday lives... and than anyone who imposes such a thing will be immediately voted out of office.

In the 50 years since WWII, when nearly every American truly and willingly made sacrifices for the war effort, we have become entirely self-centered and selfish to the point where we will most likely, in the next few years, transfer power to a faction (the Democrats) which we are fairly certain, will (excluding taxes, which we will be made to think affect only "the rich") never ask us to make any direct contribution to this country's survival.

Blaming government for our problems is just another example of this sea change in America. Placing the responsibility where it truly is - on us, the voters - would make us liable. Our government in general reflects, not necessarily the thoughts, but the personality of the citizenry. We are the selfish cowards, and we will get what we deserve.

The Torture "Debate"... is a joke.

The “debate” surrounding our interrogation of detainees is, in historical context, pretty much a very unfunny joke.

The two sides base there arguments on completely contradictory positions. The Administration side claims that we are at war with terrorists who swear no allegiance other than religion, and who are fighting an “anything goes” war against Western Civilization in general and America in particular.

The opposing viewpoint seems to be that the “threat” is far less serious than the Administration would have us believe; that these “insurgents” are merely lawbreakers, similar to the gangs of L.A., who were driven (by the actions and attitudes of the U.S.) to do the only thing they could to preserve their “way of life” in the face of our arrogant imperialism; and as such, they should be treated as victims, not as aggressors. They (the Left) want us to try to “understand” why these people want to murder all of us.

But each of these arguments, and all arguments in between, have one thing in common. No mention of this issue is complete without the insertion of the phrase “short of torture” or something very similar.

I am reminded of the classic Seinfeld show dealing with the gay issue, where every mention of homosexuality was immediately followed with “not that it’s a bad thing”.

Let me present a view that is outside the current universe of debate:

I do not believe that our military or our “spy” networks want to torture people. When they think that rough methods will produce results that will save American lives (or even European lives), I trust them to make that decision without having to get John McCain’s approval.

I’m not interested in understanding why these murderers chop off heads or blow up innocent people, or even why they think that none of us are innocent. I’m not interested in understanding how someone could be so ignorant as to think that their god would provide them with 72 virgins as a reward for chopping off the heads and blowing up innocent people. I am interested only in stopping them from doing it by whatever means necessary. I want our guys to be able to do whatever they need to do to eradicate this menace from the Earth. If and when they go overboard (by some reasonable standard – not John Kerry’s) we’ll deal with the offenders.

The opposing views boil down to this: trust vs distrust.

Don’t believe everything you read

The consensus among press and pundits seems to be that the “American voter” supports the Democratic Party on all domestic issues. I disagree completely.

It is true that a large portion of the voting population still holds the opinion that the Government can and should solve all of the nation’s domestic problems. Some hold that opinion to in an effort to assuage some residual and imagined “guilt” or to prove their humanitarian nature without actually having to do any humanitarian acts; others hold this opinion because they have been dependent on the Government for generations and do not want to accept responsibility for their own success or failure.

There is a third, increasingly vocal, and generally disregarded group of voters, who realize that personal responsibility is the key to the past and the future of this country, and who are tired of Government inefficiently throwing money at “social problems”; a practice which has been unsuccessful for the past 50 years or so and grossly unappreciated by its beneficiaries.

Conservatives realize that Social Security must change or die. The Left (if pressed) would do some “tweaking” of this clearly doomed system.

Conservatives understand that cutting taxes stimulates the economy – a proven truth. The Left sees taxation of the “rich” as a bottomless source of revenue with which they can penalize their favorite whipping dog (the "Rich") and fund their social agenda to promote class animosity, thereby retaining their control of the “dependent” wing of the American populace.

Conservatives understand that personal responsibility and personal and institutional accountability are essential parts of a successful society. The Left believes that Government and its “agents” are either its downfall (the “private sector”, churches, upper class) or its salvation (Entitlements, taxation, judicial branch).

Conservatives see the deficit as evidence of Congressional overspending. The Left sees the deficit as proof that taxes are too low that the defense budget is too high.

Conservatives know that the key to America’s success on all levels is Commerce. The Left sees “Business” as the enemy – the tool by which the “rich” abuse the “poor”.

By making people responsible and institutions accountable, Conservative policies (if followed) would grow the economy, add jobs, increase tax revenues, decrease the deficit, lower the rate of poverty (dependence), improve all aspects of government (education, welfare, justice, etc.).

The Left is, has always been, and will apparently always be the more vocal point of view in America; and currently receives about 90% of this country's media coverage. That does not make it the more popular view. The Left has been taken over by anti-American radicals and crazies - ranging from clearly insane fringies like Michael Moore, Sheehan, and Alec Baldwin, to establishment radicals like Kennedy, Pelosi and Reid. The extremist and negative nature of the "new" Liberal position has become increasingly distasteful to the true majority of Americans.

The Conservative movement in this country is not entirely based on issues of National Security and is far more pervasive than you have been led to believe.

Don’t believe everything you read.

There is no threat.

The Left wants us to think that the War on Terror (if it exists at all) is a war against Usama bin Laden which was basically made up by George W. Bush. Eliminate bin Laden and you will eliminate Al Queda and Bush's trumped up "War" will be over. The Left knows better of course; but they over-simplify for one reason and it is the same reason that motivates everything single thing that they do: Hatred of George W. Bush specifically, and Conservatives in general.

UBL remains at large, al Queda remains viable, and therefore the Republican President has failed to protect us. (It should be noted here that this same Left – comprised of the Democratic Party, mainstream media, and the “French” school of appeasement which includes elitists worldwide – have done everything in their considerable power to obstruct and/or undermine all efforts of the current Administration to do so.)

The truth is that a large number of insane Muslim radicals have no interest in sharing this planet with “infidels” and want nothing more than to eradicate the non-Muslim population of the earth. Period. These jihadists are silently supported by the billion or so Muslims throughout the world who have yet to publicly denounce the barbarism of the past 5 years.

This war actually is personal, but not in the way the Left wants us to think. These jihadists want us all dead; me, my son, the TV newscasters who promote their cause, the journalists who expose our secrets, the Europeans who bow to their every demand, the Congressmen who obstruct the President… Everyone.

In their attempt to personalize and thereby minimize the threat that exists, the Left chooses (as they always do) politics over all else, and does great disservice to the American people and the world in general.

Calling all Muslims

Homicide bombers attack mosques, trains, buildings, busses, restaurants, wedding parties, and on and on. Innocent civilians of every age, race and religion are indiscriminately killed in the name of Allah every day, now numbering in the tens of thousands. And barely a peep from the “Arab world”, from the Muslim community.

The excuses fly: “Islam has no distinct leadership to speak for it… Muslims are afraid to speak out.” Blah-blah… the point remains… BARELY A PEEP… when civilians are murdered, when hostages are beheaded, when direct threats are made to wipe Christians, Jews, and all of Western Civilization from the face of the earth.

And yet… someone draws a cartoon of Muhammed, or strings the words “Islamist” and “fascist” together, or makes a direct quote from a seven hundred year old speech… and all hell breaks loose.

Suddenly, Islam finds its voice. Suddenly the Muslim world stands and speaks as one and shouts its outrage, quite often followed by real and threatened violence which does nothing but reinforce the “offending” statement.

Let me speak directly to Islam now that the Pope's speech (or more accurately, the Media's misrepresentation of it) has got you paying attention for a day or two:

The fact that you are not offended enough to speak out against homicide bombings, beheadings, etc. committed on your behalf disqualifies you from being offended by a cartoon, or a speech, or by a little extra screening at the airport.

With your silence you support the horrible barbaric acts committed in the name of your religion, thereby forfeiting your right to voice greivances in the civilized world.

Stand up… or shut up.

Why the Dems will never win again

In November, the Republicans will hold on to their majorities in Congress, and then they will continue to squander that majority by cowering to the politically correct crowd. The Democrats, although still in the minority, will retain control of Washington.

Until recently, I was of the opinion that the Democrats were fools to take positions so contrary to mainstream America. It was clear to me that they would never regain their power - even though there is an alarmingly high percentage of us who seem to be able to swallow the swill that the Left spews.

But lately it has dawned on me that the Democrats are crazy like foxes. The Left invented the current culture of blame - where there is no personal responsibility and someone else is always to blame, and which, incidentally, is responsible for poverty in this the richest nation in the world, as well as the tension between races and classes that continues to tear this country apart long after the "oppression" has ended.

The buck stops THERE!

Let someone else make the mistakes.

Having finally made the connection, I can only wonder why it took me so long to realize it... and why no one else yet has:

Why would the Dems want the responsibility and accountability of "leadership" when they can control everything from below with their obstructionism and without ever revealing their true position on anything? The Democrats are the wizard behind the curtain and everyone knows it, and no one cares.

Having done nothing but obstruct they have virtually brought government to a standstill for the past two years or so... they have weakened our nation... and our will. They have painted such a bleak picture and tarred the Republicans unmercifully, to the point where they may have actually overplayed there hand in Bush's second term. They underestimated how stupid 50% of us are and are in danger of actually winning sometime soon.

Winning however, is the last thing the Democrats want; it would spoil the game. America loves the underdog - even when the underdog runs the show.

I try - I really try - to read opposing viewpoints to my own.

Now I'm not well enough read to know the entire list of publications, websites or writers whose opinions have no legitimacy due to their extreme bias. So I'll naively read an article like "The Myth of the Ticking Time Bomb" by McCoy at the Progressive. Now I don't mean to pick on McCoy specifically - his is just one of hundreds of daily examples... millions of daily words printed for the sole purpose of reinforcing anti-Bush talking points that are now years old.

It seems that the Bush Administration really wants to torture people; and uses this so-called "War on Terror" as an excuse to justify their hobby. Torture, as you know by now, is anything that makes someone uncomfortable.

Apparently, this same excuse is used to promote another deep desire of George Bush and his cronies: spying on average Americans. This whole premise of trying to avert crises before they happen is just a ruse to put together the mechanism whereby the Government (meaning of course, the Republicans) can eavesdrop on me when I'm calling for a tee time. I have never been told exactly why the Republicans want so badly to know what I'm saying or what they inted to do with all of the personal information they crave so much.

Innumerable other articles reiterate the same tired points. No WMD (Lied us into war). Iraq is not part of the WOT. Culture of corruption. Undermining the war effort is not patriotic. The Rich (blah blah blah). And of course, the biggest and most reliable talking point of all: Racism, which has been the bread and butter of the Democrats for decades.

I read them... and they are all the same.

Now I do know some to skip... MoveOn.org, DailyKos, NYT, BBC, AP, any of the Big 3: all worthless Anti-American rags. Pelosi, Reid, Schumer, Murtha, Kennedy, Durbin: all politics, all the time. Dixie Chick (or any musician), Sean Penn (or any actor), Madonna (or any Englishman), Neil Young (or any Canadian) and, on an even less relevent level, Jimmy Carter have absolutely nothing to say that I am interested in hearing. But sometimes I don't recognize the name and I read the article, full of the same old bashing rhetoric, only to find at the end, that the "author" is some professor from some ultra-liberal university and that I have wasted yet another 5 minutes of my life.

The Left's sudden concern with "Truth and Accuracy"

“Everyone” is circling the wagons, protesting ABC’s 9/11 film, scheduled to air September 10 and 11.

Sandy Berger, (Proven Liar),, the guy who stuffed national security documents pertaining to the Clinton Administration down his pants; the guy who is not in jail (or worse) only because the Bush Administration chose not to prosecute him for his treasonous behavior. He’s against it.

The DNC, the group which spearheads the Left Wing’s uninterrupted politicization of everything from terrorism to immigration to weather, and still finds time to accuse Bush of politicizing every time he mentions the word Iraq. They’re against it.

Bill Clinton, (Proven Liar), to whom “legacy is everything”, and who is remembered only for his blow jobs and his lies. He’s against it.

Madeline Albright who, since her reign as the worst Sec of State this country has ever had, has spent her time bashing the Bush Administration. She’s against it.

Arthur Schlezinger, who has been against everything Republican since Day 1, is leading a small group of elite college professors in protesting the movie.

Al Gore, (Proven Liar), the insane inventor of the internet and global warming fanatic. He’s “deeply concerned.”

Where were all of these people when Michael Moore was rewriting history during the last presidential campaign? Oh, that’s right, they were at the premiere!

Has any one of these deeply offended "preservers of history" spoken out against the group of professors charging the Bush Administration of orchestrating the WTC attacks?

And what happened their tremendous “concern” for free speech?

The hypocrisy of the power-hungry Left is so bold and blatant that it is literally impossible for me to believe that a single American voter with a sixth-grade education could even consider voting Democrat. And yet, the Democratic Party is still a viable political force in this country, driving us closer and closer to oblivion.

Elections are coming again, and we as a nation will get what we deserve.
