Well, I don’t get it.  I just don’t understand.

Doesn’t Kim Jong Il know that Barack Obama is President?  I know news travels slow in these communist thugocracies, but shouldn’t the message of “hope and change” have reached them by now?

I thought the North Koreans, and other tyrannical toilet-states, only engaged in this kind of behavior because they were antagonized by the U.S.?

I thought that it was our arrogance and insufferable lecturing of the rest of the world that was pushing these goons to engage in provocative behavior?

But Obama is in charge now…they didn’t have to set off another nuke!

If they wanted to make a point, couldn’t they have just called Obama or Stephanopoulos or someone and just asked for a meeting?

I’m sure Obama would have met with Kim Jong Il…without pre-conditions.

I’m sure he would have bowed respectfully to the delusional little dwarf.  Maybe even kissed his communist ass.

Don’t they know that we’re done lecturing and pontificating to the rest of the world, now we’re ready to listen?

We’re ready to “re-boot” our relationship with the crazy commies of the world, and we have so much in common now that it’s hard to believe that Kim Jong Il hasn’t recognized a little bit of himself in Obama.

After all, they both hate the capitalism, energy, freedom of speech, the Special Olympics, and the United States.  They both share an affinity for lavish parties and designer dog-breeds.  And they’re both adored by Hollywood leftists and American academic elites. 

So why would Kim Jong Il insist on embarrassing Obama?  First the missile test, now this…why?

Could it be that he’s just lashing out after the past eight years of the Bush Administration having the audacity to treat this little coke bottle-wearing beanie baby like the isolated creep that he is?

Or maybe our new celebutard-in-chief just hasn’t delivered the inevitable ‘ingenious argument that will convince him that he has been wrong all along’, delivered from a podium flanked by the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence…with that “echo effect” cranked way up on the microphone of course. 

We need a lot more Cheneys…and a lot fewer Powells. 

Upon reading that far into the article, I was understandably curious. I am, of course, gravely concerned with our prestige and image as a nation. If our standing in the international community concerns you as much as it does me, you are not going to like what I’m about to tell you.

According to this Red Cross report, it seems the “torture” experienced by these maggots amounts to little more than “sleep deprivation”… “loud noise”… “extreme temperatures”… and “beatings”.

Oh…and I guess they were waterboarded too.

Fellow Americans…this disgusts me. How much longer are we going to let this continue? I am sick and tired of story after story promising horrific, detailed accounts of prisoner torture only to have my hopes dashed by another lame, Disney-esque ballet recital of what amounts to better treatment than I received as a seventeen-year-old recruit at Parris Island!

Are we talking about torture or a Skull and Bones initiation?

As for the folks at the CIA, I’m very, very disappointed. Where the hell are these “secret prisons” anyway? At the edge of the gumdrop forest? In the land of bunny trees? Do these prisons have fences around them or just rows of candy canes patrolled by leprechauns armed with magic bugles that shoot wads of laffy-taffy?!!!

Sorry if this “torturing prisoners” stuff is something new for you folks at the CIA, but since you apparently have people down there at Gitmo, couldn’t you have at least made a local call to Castro’s people for a few pointers?

We’re expecting thumb screws, electrodes and battery acid and the best you can do is to turn down the thermostat and mess with their TV reception!

I think the folks at the CIA need to be reminded that they are representing the United States of America and our international credibility is at stake here. It would be nice to hear some accounts of torture that didn’t include foot massages and platters of peeled grapes drizzled in balsamic vinaigrette!

Better yet, maybe the CIA should implement a guest worker program for some of these Mexican drug cartel enforcers since, apparently, torturing terrorists now falls under the category of “jobs that Americans will no longer do”.

Lastly, I think it’s time to shred the Geneva Convention. It’s obvious that the United States is the only country that is held to that standard. So much so, in fact, that it now applies even to those not covered by the Geneva Convention.

We’re always hearing about how we must reach out to other cultures…right? We should focus on what unites us rather than what divides us…right? Fine, what better way to reach out and identify with the wonderful, peaceful practitioners of Islam than to…maybe…adopt some of the “enlightened” approaches endorsed by Iran, the Taliban or the Saudi government? Instead of playing loud music and curtailing “nap time”, how about dropping a pile of rocks on one of these jihadist scumbags? We could accomplish our objectives while, at the same time, showing them that we embrace their culture.

I think chopping off the occasional hand would do much to boost our image on this “Muslim street” that we hear so much about. It would, at the very least, make it easier to spot the released detainees when they show up on the battlefield again. I guess it would also make it a little tough for them to pull a trigger too.

I’m going to say that again.

The liberals are encouraging we, conservatives, to abandon Rush…because they don’t like him? Here comes one of my favorite phrases:

You’ve gotta be [bleeping] kidding me! Man, there really is a right time for the F-bomb isn’t there?

I wouldn’t ditch a kidney stone to appease those liberal jackasses!

So liberals don’t like Rush Limbaugh? Well, that’s a pretty compelling argument against him isn’t it? Fine, I don’t like Hugo Chavez, so when can I expect a liberal to “distance themselves” from him?!

I suspect that’ll be right around the time they finally admit that Alger Hiss was a traitor.

You know, there’s a reason Reagan had a rule about back-stabbing another Republican. The Liberals love to take advantage of our virtue in order to play us against one another. We want to be “nice” and “fair” and seem “open-minded” so when they demonize one of ours, whether it be Limbaugh, Ann Coulter, Mark Levin or whoever, there are always some among us who are willing to “feed the alligator”

I ripped-off that last part from Winston Churchill. He had a great line about those who feed the alligator in the hope of not being eaten, can only assure that they will be eaten last.

We would do well to remember that. I’ve trashed my share of RINO’s, but always on my terms. I won’t be dictated to by the same crowd that had to be dragged kicking and screaming to a mild admonition of a domestic terrorist who believes his anti-American activities ‘didn’t go far enough’. And these A-O’s presume to lecture us about what sort of crowd we should hang out with? Bull[expletive]!

Which brings me to another point. When do the liberals ever throw one of theirs under the bus? When have you ever heard a liberal denounce one of their dumbass commentators like…oh…Al Franken, Paul Begala, James Carville, Chris Matthews or the nauseating Keith Olbermann. Never! In fact, in the case of Franken, not only won’t they “distance themselves” from any of the tripe that bleating, cockeyed half-wit has sputtered out over the years, but they’re trying to steal a Senate seat for him as we speak!

“But Rush is so arrogant”… “His ego is out of control”… “He’s too extreme”…

I say…good for him! Rush has single-handedly wrested control of an entire segment of the media from liberals hasn’t he? Wouldn’t you say that justifies…oh…just a little bit of an ego? I think so!

There’s another line that I’m getting sick and tired of hearing from “Republicans” and other assorted fools on the call-in shows:

“Well…Ruuush really doesn’t speaaak fer me…(hiccup).”

Well who does speak for you then?…you ass! Do you have a ventriloquist with his hand up your [censored] pretending to drink water while you drool out your make-believe enlightenment?

See, that’s one way to identify a “moderate” or “centrist”. They’re always waiting for someone to “speak for them”…because they’re fools and don’t know what they think about anything until someone tells them.

As an authentic conservative, I’m not looking for someone to “speak for me”. I speak for myself! And I do my own thinking too…by the way.

I plan to give the Left absolutely nothing! I don’t care how much pissing and moaning they do…they get nothing! I refuse to give them even one inch because once you feed that alligator, it won’t stay satisfied long. Once liberals smell blood in the water, the feeding frenzy moves on to the next target, no matter how much chum you toss in their way.

No predator ever stops eating as long as it keeps being fed. Death by starvation is the only solution so…once again…I give them NOTHING!

Moreover, I recommend using this as a litmus test to help smoke out a few of the RINO’s hiding out there. Believe me, if a Republican won’t stand up for Rush…what do you suppose the chances are they will stand up for you? Do you have an audience of twenty million? What makes you think you are not expendable too?

This just demonstrates how liberals, and even some Republicans, don’t understand conservatives and what we’re all about.

I wouldn’t even hand George W. Bush over to those jerks. What makes them think I would sell-out the loudest conservative voice in country on their say-so?

No, you won’t get Rush…Barack.

You won’t get Ann Coulter, Sean Hannity or Mark Levin either…so don’t bother asking! The more you liberals hate these people, the more I love them!

Michael Steele did the right think by back-pedaling on his unfortunate Rush-related misstatement. We can let that go…once.

But for the rest of the Beltway-Manhattan punditry and political class the message should be clear.

Get behind Rush. Get behind conservatives. While you’re at it, get a spine.

And get your cowardly asses back in line! Or get lost.

…And thank you, Rush Limbaugh, for the past two decades.

As His Excellency made his way to the podium, Katie apparently reached over, punched the primer a few times and yanked the cord…and Jeff Greenfield coughed, hissed and eventually sputtered out something about how Conservative politicians seem to be rather receptive these days to criticism from talk radio hosts like Rush Limbaugh and Sean Hannity who have taken to calling Obama a “Stalinist”.

Which, you see, is why they must be silenced by the state and sent to the salt mines if possible. Calling the President a “Stalinist”…honestly.

The President began with a shout-out to his wife, the First Lady, poor, disadvantaged Michelle Obama who, because of America’s meanness, could only go to Princeton and earned a meager $300,000 salary. It just goes to show that even though we’ve made some progress, we still have a long way to go.

On to the substance of the speech, if we can call it that. Actually, first I’d like to say a word about Nancy Pelosi, who was in the background during the entire speech so she was tough to turn away from…sort of like a train wreck.

Does this woman realize that she isn’t hot anymore? Seriously…what’s with all the plastic, tucks and lifts? Her face looks like a balloon stretched over a pinecone…with a wig on it. Have you ever seen anyone trying harder to find the “fountain of middle-age”?

OK, now it’s time for the “substance”. Barack started off with blaming the financial crisis on regulations having been “gutted” in recent years for a quick profit.

I wish!

Try financial institutions being overregulated in recent years to ensure no profit and you’ll be in the ballpark. If you don’t believe me, loan money to the Treasury Secretary sometime…for his delinquent tax bill…and see if he pays you back. Keep doing that for all the irresponsible tax cheats in the Administration (and Charlie Rangel) until every cent you have is gone and you’ll have an idea of what caused this mess.

Obama went on to recite his “save or create” line for the four, five, six, three or however many million jobs it is this week.

By the way, “save or create” means nothing…just so you know. If jobs are created, Obama can say “See, I created those jobs!” If no jobs are created, he can say “See, I saved a few million jobs!”. If jobs are lost, he can say “See, five million jobs have been lost but it would have been ten million if not for me, so I actually saved five million jobs!”

And, of course, the media will make sure the story gets told the right way…Katie.

In case you were doubting that the Administration knows what it is doing…Joe Biden will be overseeing the Stimulus!

What do you have to say about that atheists! No God huh? Joe Biden overseeing the Stimulus…explain that one!

And Barack has pronounced that there will be accountability for every dollar of Stimulus money that is spent. Which I guess means that Acorn will be commissioned to conduct the audits. They certainly have the budget for it now…don’t they.

Obama also went on to the subject of energy. He cited China, where they are crazy about pollution, as an example we should follow.

Obama will be building power lines to everywhere…and “power lines to nowhere”. These power lines will carry “energy” all over the [expletive]ing place! Where will the power come from? Who the hell knows! But there will be plenty of power lines!

My advice is, buy one of those energy experiment hobby kits from Radio Shack. As long as you never figure out the instructions or produce any energy, you will probably be eligible for millions in “renewable energy grants” under some program in the Stimulus.

See, with government subsidies…anything is profitable!

Obama also had tough words for the Auto Makers. He chastised them soundly for “bad decision-making” in the past…which I foolishly thought was a reference to ridiculous Union contracts, but he actually meant the outdated practice of trying to build cars that people want to buy in order to generate a profit. Well, there will be no more of that…especially that part about “profit”.

Obama assured us that ‘gone are the days’ when CEO’s would line their pockets at the taxpayers’ expense. And the throngs of multi-millionaire Democrats in the audience cheered wildly!

Which brings us to Healthcare. In short, Obama is going to cure cancer.

OK, now it’s time for Education. Obama will make sure everyone graduates from college and is prepared to Unionize, nationalize and re-prioritize until the standards for graduation are driven so low that any drooling imbecile who can piss his name in the snow will be awarded a degree for it.

That ought to boost our international prestige!

Don’t worry though, “The One” will also make sure we won’t pass on to our children, the ones who are lucky enough to be born, a debt they can’t repay…’cuz…he said so. And he means it too…really.

I noticed that John Kerry was quick to stop applauding and sit down after that line. I guess he’s just a few rich widows away from being able to pay off the national debt himself so it really doesn’t matter to him.

And, of course, no Obama “shovel-ready” speech would be complete without the obligatory references to “hope” and stuff. The soaring references to a “crossroads of history” which I’ve come to believe means ‘anytime Obama is in front of a camera’. A promise to uphold the values our troops are defending except free speech. And, finally, an assurance that Obama will not allow terrorists to plot against us from halfway around the world, especially after his party has worked so hard to make it damn comfortable for them to do it right here in the United States.

So former President-Elect Barack Obama, appalled at Republicans who are acting like Republicans, has taken his show on the road to Indiana. To the community of Elkhart where so many people working in the RV industry are now suffering. The RV industry which, by the way, has been devastated by liberal environmental policies and oppressive liberal corporate taxes. The Celebutard-in-Chief fired up the teleprompter and lobbed large chunks of rhetorical road apples at the masses;

“The situation we face could not be more serious. We have inherited an economic crisis as deep and as dire as any since the Great Depression. Economists from across the spectrum have warned that if we don’t act immediately, millions more jobs will be lost, and national unemployment rates will approach double digits. More people will lose their homes and their healthcare. And our nation will sink into a crisis that, at some point, we may be unable to reverse.”

Some of that is almost true if you don’t count the “deeper” and “more dire” crisis left in the wake of Jimmy Carter whom the Democrats would like you to forget was also a liberal President once.

By “Economists” of course, Barack is not referring to the two hundred economists, including three Nobel laureates, who took out a full page ad in the Washington Post and New York Times opposing the stimulus.

But the Socialist doesn’t let a little thing like “the truth” get in the way when there’s an opportunity to capitalize on fear and uncertainty. Wasn’t it Rahm Emanuel who said, “Never let a serious crisis go to waste”? Well, he certainly wasn’t the first leftist to exploit a crisis. Hitler, Stalin, Mao, Castro, Etc…take your pick. They were all masters of this favorite play in the tyrants’ playbook.

So what does our “dear leader” have to say about Democracy and debate in a free society?

“We can no longer afford to wait and see and hope for the best. We can no longer posture and bicker and resort to the same failed ideas that got us into this mess in the first place.”

No…don’t think. Just follow me and I will show you the way. Dance puppets…dance.

By the way, what “failed policies that got us into this mess” would Barack be referring to? Would that be the Community Reinvestment Act? No, of course not. He means capitalism. He means the free market. To the leftist, these are the flawed economic theories which have led us to where we are today. And you had better believe that he intends to maximize this crisis in order to correct the mistakes caused by our foolish trifling in…liberty.

“We’ll also put people to work rebuilding our schools so all our kids can have the world-class classrooms, labs and libraries they need to compete in today’s global economy.”

Now why do I think this means more unionized, government teachers and not so much anything to do with actual education? I happen to think our kids would do just fine in a run down classroom if they were actually learning about something besides Kwanzaa and condoms.

I wonder if there will be any competition, diversity and community standards applied to these schools Obama plans to build? Like they kind they’re about to shove down our throats when they start pushing for the “Fairness Doctrine”…which they’re certain to do here shortly. Do you think they will propose a “local content rule” for education or will it be the same old central planning-style Department of Education federal mandates which have kept our kids dumber than those in other countries who dodge arrows on their way to and from their rundown, dilapidated one-room schools?

“I can tell you with complete confidence that endless delay or paralysis in Washington in the face of this crisis will bring only deepening disaster.”

I have a feeling we’re going to have a lot of impending disasters in the next four years. Every time our little Obama doesn’t seem to be getting his way…I’m sure.

What I, and other bitter-clingers, would like to see out of this Stimulus package are some “benchmarks”. I would like to see a set of quantifiable goals that must be met or we should be able to “de-fund” this whole operation.

While we’re at it, let’s have a “global test”. Since the damn U.N. is so important, why not have the president get eleven or twelve resolutions from the U.N. on the issue of the U.S. economic crisis before we go forward with spending trillions of dollars? I’m sure the French and Germans would like to weigh in on the “buy American” provisions for these “shovel-ready” projects (man…am I getting sick of these slogans).

After all, Barack is a global citizen right? Shouldn’t our European friends have some input when our protectionist policies will close markets to their products? Hell with sovereignty, it’s time to restore our standing in the international community!

Last, but not least, I think we need an “exit strategy”. This “go-it-alone” mentality is so…2003. No Stimulus package should be passed unless we have a clear timetable for victory in this economic crisis! This must be the standard, and we must insist upon it, no matter how big and dumb-looking Obama’s ears are.

That one was for you Jessica Simpson.

I’m sure you’ve seen that one. It was a picture comparing various expressions of President Bush to various expressions of a monkey that made the rounds on the internet?

Liberals circulated a lot of funny little pictures of Bush on the internet… didn’t they.

Well, I thought it would be a good time to return the favor. I plan on returning a lot of favors in the years to come…oodles of them, one might say.

I thought about responding in kind, but I’m not about to make it that easy for the libs. I do, however, plan on showing Barack the same level of respect that liberals showed Bush for eight years.

What’s the point? Well…it is time to teach liberals a lesson. When they win, they expect us to be genial and classy. Whey they lose, they become the most childish, petty, nasty, mean-spirited jackasses around. It is time to show them that they can’t count on our indulgence just because they seem to be getting their way at the moment.

The liberals would like to create a mythology that will last well beyond the Obama presidency. They would like to craft an image that Obama is some great “man of the people” who is universally loved and admired by America…

I plan on showing them that not only is there a large percentage of us who are completely unimpressed with Barack’s personality, but we can be just as creative with email forwarding as they can.

Under normal circumstances I wouldn’t kick someone while they’re down, but these aren’t normal circumstances are they? I’m talking about you Tom Daschle! I don’t care how sad Harry Reid and Andrea Mitchell are over your downfall…it’s still not good enough! We’re not talking about a few bucks in tips you forgot to declare from your second job working in a diner. We’re talking about $140,000 that you supposedly “forgot” to pay? I call bull[censored] on that one! You didn’t forget to pay it, you just thought you would get away with it and now you’re sorry because you got caught. That’s more money than most people make…Tom. That money could feed a lot of starving children couldn’t it? How many elderly people could have had their prescription drugs paid for with the money you “forgot” to pay in taxes?

What is it with you liberals that you always talk about how much you care so much, but you sure as hell don’t put your tax money where your mouth is! I think you should be investigated by the IRS…Tom…because it’s the only fair thing to do, right? After all, wasn’t it you who pontificated not too long ago about how tax cheats are cheating us all?

Well, I agree…you filthy tax cheat!

In case you haven’t, I’ll summarize it for you. The usual gaggle of celebutards (Diddy, the no-name chick from “Lost”, the Chinese girl from Charlie’s Angels, that Mexican-stereotype comedian guy…and the great, learned scholar Anthony Kiedes) made a video pledging to be nicer, recycle, get to know their neighbors, cure diseases, smile and bombard the rest of the human race with their smugness like never before in the name of…Barack Obama, who appears depicted in a Che Guevara-style picture right before I puke and the video ends.

Towards the end though, is an impassioned plea for all of us peons to make our own pledge. “What’s your pledge?” “You have a pledge don’t you?” “What is it…c’mon?”

So after all of the time that you Hollywood jerks have spent trashing unsophisticated, uncultured, right-wing Christian rubes from the south…like me…we’re supposed to hop on board and follow you just because you A-O’s have found your very own Jesus!?

Well since you asked, It seems that I do have a pledge…now. You really want to know what it is? Alright, here it goes;

I pledge to buy another gun this year.

I pledge to throw cheeseburger wrappers out the window of my car whenever I think I can get away with it…to “offset” all of the “green” BS you phonies claim to be doing.

I’m also going to turn lights on, burn gas, put regular garbage in the recycling bin and flush my toilet for no reason…just because I can.

I pledge to treat all people equally, without regard for their race…which means I’m going to point out what a zero Obama is every chance I get no matter how “historic” his presidency is.

I pledge to blame the next hurricane on Democrats…and especially Obama.

I pledge to make fun of Obama every time he makes an error in his pronunciation or articulation…just to see how much you jerks like it.

I pledge to come up with my own ideas for bumper stickers in order to “offset” all of the crap I have to read whenever I drive past a Starbucks parking lot.

Most of all, I pledge to point out every time one of you smug, sanctimonious, self-righteous, celebrity “pledgelings” fails to live up to your little ‘pledge’… starting with you Ashton Kutcher! I guess your pledge to be nicer to your neighbors didn’t extend to your actual neighbor…who you just called a [censored] on the video that everyone should get on Youtube and watch! What were you so upset about again? That’s right, your neighbor was doing construction on his house at seven o’clock in the morning and the noise was bothering you. Maybe he wasn’t aware that you had to put in extra hours at the factory the night before. Maybe he wasn’t aware of how demanding it is to be the husband of Bruce Willis’ ex-wife.

See, that’s what those of us who don’t videotape pranks for a living do…Asshton! Most of us get up and work while you’re loafing around your house waiting for your publicist to call. So you sir…are a phony!

One last thing…Asshton. If you’re so concerned about saving the planet, recycle your wife! There’s enough plastic there to clog-up two landfills.

We have a Marxist President. We have a Supreme Court that has established itself as a secular tribunal. And our Congress makes the dudes hanging out at Starbucks look like Senior Fellows at The Heritage Foundation!

You’ve got to be [censored] kidding me!

How ironic is it…by the way…that as we speak we are watching one of Alinsky’s rules being applied before our eyes? You know about that one don’t you? It’s “Rule 12”;

“Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, and polarize it.”

The target for ‘Alinsky disciple’ Obama is Rush Limbaugh. There’s a reason Rush has been singled out. They’re “personalizing” an industry they don’t like…Talk Radio. An attack on Rush is not only an attack on Talk Radio, but its audience and by extension the entire Conservative movement. That’s you and me.

Think of the most radical Marxist fruitcake professor you ever had in school. Well, he is the President now. And Barack didn’t come through the Washington beltway deal-making system. He is for real, and he has a cult following.

See, there was only so much Clinton could do. He was the product of good-ol-boy Arkansas politics and he was too obsessed with his own legacy to lead a real movement. It was the same with Gore, Kerry, and the rest of those jokers. They are plenty dangerous and I take them seriously, but Barack is different.

Unlike most Washington-types, Obama doesn’t have the patience for gridlock or the slow, parliamentary cold-molasses-going-up-hill legislative pace. You know, all that antiquated B.S. the Founders set up for us. He wants everything that he and his fellow “intellectuals” have been crowing about at cocktail parties for years. And he doesn’t want to wait for it either. He operates by Alinsky rules, and no others.

I think it’s time for the stigma to be removed from words like Communist, Marxist, Socialist and Collectivist. I think McCarthy was the last person on the Senate floor to use these words openly, and God bless him for it, but the sting of what happened to him has been exploited very effectively by the media. McCarthy was the last to talk that way, and there aren’t too many on our side in a hurry to be the next.

We’re going to have to drag Conservative politicians out of their comfort zones. We are going to have to start calling this what it is… by its name. By that I mean that we are going to have to vigorously defend our elected representatives when one of them steps up and finally crosses that line. When one of them actually says… “communist”.

The media has done a great job of burying that one haven’t they? They haven’t missed a detail either. You didn’t really think it was an accident that the media tagged Republican states as “Red” states on those electoral map graphics did you?

I’m going to upset some people, but it’s important to make a point here;

1. There was no UFO crash in New Mexico… it was a balloon.
2. There was no organized plot to kill Kennedy… it was Lee Harvey Oswald… alone.
3. There was no “Monika Lewinsky”… it was Keith Olbermann in a wig.

I don’t subscribe to “conspiracy theories”. I’m not part of the tinfoil hat wearing crowd, although I did like a certain late night talk radio show back when I used to work nights. The point is, it’s time to separate the communist agenda from the rest of the junk.

Communism is real. There really is a strategy and they didn’t just go away because the Soviet system collapsed. There really are people who believe in that stuff, and our government is teeming with them right now. So we have to point it out and defend our ideological spokespeople when they do the same.

Talk Radio is just the opening round in what is certain to be a long fight. Targets to follow will be the 2nd Amendment, private property rights, due process and, eventually, national sovereignty. I know the left has been chipping away at these institutions for years. This is not something I’ve just suddenly become aware of and now want to impress people with my great insight. Many on the right have been saying this for years, but it bears repeating.

Obama and his crowd are tired of incrementalism. They’re tired of waiting and they see this as their big chance to get everything without having to wait. We can’t afford to ‘pick our fights’. Everything has to be a fight. When Conservatives show the fortitude that our Congressional Republicans showed this week by unanimously voting against the “Stimulus” bill, they have to hear from us. It’s not enough to complain when they let us down, they have to know that we’re behind them when they stand up and lead!

Most importantly, we have to be prepared to support nothing less than pure Conservatives in the upcoming primaries. We can’t afford moderates and centrists and “reach across the aisle” types anymore. It doesn’t matter what their names are or how long they’ve been around, they have to go.

If you haven’t read “Rules for Radicals” yet, it’s time to go find a bookstore near some college campus and get a copy. You can return it when you’re done and I’m sure they’ll be glad to have it back. But we owe it to ourselves to become educated about the enemy’s strategy so we will recognize… for some reason I’m thinking of that scene from Patton… what they’re up to, explain it to others, and make sure that they do not succeed.

He addressed the crowd from behind a podium bearing the Texas state seal and spoke in the same folksy manner we have seen from him since day one. As he finished his speech and went on to wave, shake hands and swagger through the crowd of well-wishers, there was one thought, more of a question really, that I couldn’t get out of my head.

Why the hell have we abandoned this guy?

If anyone had said on September 12, 2001 that we would not suffer another terrorist attack for the balance of the Bush Presidency, I wouldn’t have believed them. If It had been said that the Democrats would gain power by trashing a military that had liberated two countries while the President’s approval numbers would drop to historically low numbers, I wouldn’t have believed that either. And I especially would not have believed that this same President would branded a “war criminal” by the media for housing terrorists…Terrorists!… in a “club-Fed” style country club that is far better than they deserve.

So why haven’t we defended our President? Well, he was soft on illegal immigration. He spent too much. He expanded Medicare. And, of course, he didn’t really defend himself did he?

In the face of the most un-American, visceral and defamatory liberal attacks, President Bush would famously wink and say, “Don’t worry buddy, History will get it right.”

That obviously depends on who tells the story doesn’t it? I am reminded of my favorite line from the movie Braveheart, “History is written by men who’ve hung heroes.”

The fact is, Republicans have never done a good job of defending our own. We allowed Trent Lott to be run out of town over some harmless comments at a ceremony honoring Strom Thurmond on his one thousandth birthday. We stood by while the media savaged George Allen over the word “Macaca”…a word most had never heard before, much less took offense to. We even had members of the McCain campaign throwing Gov. Palin under the bus over a wardrobe that she never even wanted.

But notice that Democrats never treat their own this way. As a matter of fact, Democrats routinely close ranks around the worst of their scoundrels and demagogue anyone who dares to point out their… “scoundrelity” (there you go Wikipedia, a new word)

Democrats made fools of themselves defending Bill Clinton when he tried to use his office to “fix” a lawsuit against him…not to mention countless other legal and ethical transgressions. They demand tribute in the form of confiscatory taxes on every aspect of human existence, but can’t wait to appoint a tax cheat to oversee the IRS, to go with another tax cheat (Charlie Rangel) who chairs the House Ways and Means Committee, or the tax cheat…wait…I’ll come back to that one.

But, it isn’t good enough for liberal degenerates to merely defend other liberal degenerates with shameless persistence. Those who blow the whistle on them must also be targeted for personal obliteration. (see Ken Starr, Linda Tripp, The Whitehouse Travel Office, Limbaugh, Levin, etc.…aaaaall the waaaay back to Sen. Joe McCarthy himself!)

Instead of opposing them, we either sit on our hands or, in far too many instances, try to show liberals what good people we are by cannibalizing our own to satisfy the lynch mob.

It is time to let the liberals do their own dirty work. It’s time for them to be put on their heels when they trash one of ours. It is time for history to get it right!

President Bush is a great man and he was a great President. Let’s discuss the real record for a minute shall we? He did cut taxes. He did lift the ban on off-shore drilling. He did let other Republicans ride his coattails to the House and Senate in ’02 and ’04. And, above all else, he did put the Islamic terrorism on its ass… and kept it there… for seven years! He did all of this with few in his corner. Whenever the water got a little choppy, Republicans jumped ship. And those same Republicans are indignant that President Bush took few principled stands to defend conservatism. Maybe he got tired of not being able to depend on ingrates in his own party! These jokers won’t even get behind a liberal Republican, Arlen Specter, who is the only one trying to stop the appointment of Attorney General nominee, and “A-list” fraud, Eric Holder…who approved the pardon for Marc Rich…the biggest tax cheat in American history! (starting to see a pattern here with liberals and taxes?) How much support can a Conservative really expect?

Meanwhile, the “loyal opposition” has politicized national security, obstructed the President and our military in a time of war and even fantasized about his assassination. The liberals have made a virtue out of treason by leaking battle plans and convicting our troops on the floor of the Senate and House of Representatives. Yeah, I’m talking about you John Murtha! Dick Durbin! You too John Kerry and the rest of you disgraceful traitors who are stinking-up the party that my family, except for myself, are members of. That’s right…I’m calling you traitors!

For my part, as long as I have air in my lungs I’ll defend President Bush for being the one man in Washington who was willing, when our country most needed it, to do the right thing in the face of the most malicious personal attacks, the likes of which would have lesser men leaving town with their tails tucked.

President Bush left office with his shoulders back and his chin up, and God bless him for it.
