Politik Americano

Between the troop escalation in Afghanistan and the fudging of some documents and destruction of others in order galvanize support for Global Warming; we have now proven the theory of “circular relativity”. It states that if you go far enough to the Left, eventually you will hit the Right side of any issue. Liberals and conservatives at times mirror an old married couple, they disagree on everything, but after a certain amount of time they start to look alike.

I understand the idea of being fiscally conservative, low taxes and responsible spending, but since we haven’t had a President from either party that could effectively reduce spending in quite some time. Perhaps we should stop screaming for lowering taxes. The Left’s modus operandi is “tax and spend”, the Right’s should be “don’t tax and spend anyway”.

Why does the Tea Party crowd keep saying that they want their country back? It didn’t go anywhere. You lost the election, this is what happens when someone you disagree with gets elected President (voted in by a majority, not stolen, not taken away, not even decided by Floridians who can’t fill out ballot sheets), things begin to happen that you disagree with. You never heard President Bush say, “Since all of you Al Gore supporters don’t agree with my plans for the country, I’m going to respect that and in turn I will refalect (Bush speak for reflect) Al Gore’s ideas in everything I do.”

Someone told me the other day that these large gathering of Tea Party protesters is an indication that the President is destined for only one term. I was watching some Tea Party coverage on Saturday and I’m just guessing, but I’m willing to bet large sums of money that a super large majority of those people didn’t vote for Obama the first time around.

President Obama is a true inspiration to me. He is a Kenyan-Muslim-Communist-Nazi, which proves that America truly is a melting pot. This helps me to believe that even I, a Religious-Liberal-Chink-With Impulse Control Issues, can do anything.

Sarah Palin is no threat in 2012. She lacks media savvy, and a true in depth (we need to hear more than talking points) understanding of the most pressing issues of our time. She is very exciting and she energizes the right. Can anyone say Pat Buchanan?

When President Bush would give a speech on the challenges we were facing as a country, Conservatives would hail his optimism and his inspirational spirit. When President Obama states that unemployment rates moving from 10.2% to 10% “is a step in the right direction” they say he is out of touch with the reality of the situation. Perhaps, next time when speaking to the American people the President should say, “The economic situation in our country is bleak. We face a hopeless and impossible challenge. Soon we will all DIE!” I only fear that if he spoke in these terms pundits from the right would then say he wasn’t showing leadership.

I used to like Glenn Beck. When he was on headline news I didn’t always agree with him but he had a good understanding of politics and a pragmatic approach to the issues. Today he has become a true caricature of himself, a cartoon character to inspire ratings. Last week he spoke for almost 15 minutes about the White House party crashers and somehow managed to link it to a conspiracy between the Obama Administration and Bravo Television, all while stating more than 6 times that he didn’t believe the conspiracy was true.

Lenny Bruce. Shame on us, shame on our government, shame on the police, and shame on our justice system, what we did to that man is no different than what we did to the Japanese during World War II, suspected communists in the 50’s, homosexuals now, or blacks for centuries. Again and again we destroy what it means to be American, in order to protect America. Who’s next? Can anyone say Islam?
