Like a bunch of really bad bow-tied salesmen, our jerkwater Congress and White House continue to try and sell us smoke and mirrors. They might's well try to sell ice to Eskimos. Twist and turn and rephrase it any way they like, we ain't buyin'.
If nothing else, we can take some satisfaction from the tremendous resistance we are throwing at Washington DC on every one of their bad ideas. Good for us. If there is any shred of democracy remaining in our system, our obstructionist leaders will eventually be forced to wake up from their dream of Oz and face this simple reality: we will ring their pencil necks if they don't listen.
I almost had to laugh when I heard Harry Reid speechify that he thought it was "racist" to make English the official language of the U.S. - of course by implication he means it would be racist to deny Mexican illegals things like citizenship and Social Security benefits as well. The news videos showed a wretched close-up of ol' Harry making his impassioned speech. In the right light, Harry looks an awful lot like a lizard. His speech made me realize ol' stupid Harry believes the "minority" in his title, Senate Minority Leader, refers not to the Democrats but to illegals, pedophiles and the rest of the Left's detritus. The lizardman just doesn't get it. He is lost in a sea of misplaced sympathies. Sympathy for the Devil is not really sympathy at all. In his case, as with Pelosi, Kennedy and the whole bleeding heart gang, it is obstinate condescension.
Then John Turncoat Murtha gives a speech in which he says our military is "so stressed" by the Iraq situation that it "over-reacted" and slaughtered "innocent women and children in cold-blood." Is there anyone with half a brain who really believes this traitor really gives a damn about the poor innocent women and children who were allegedly slaughtered? Of course not. For him it's not a tragedy, it's an "issue" he can club Bush with. Look at the logic of this unreasoning fool's claim: if you are "stressed out" and "over-react," by definition you must have acted emotionally. In which case it can't be "cold-blooded." To be cold-blooded would require one to have calmly pre-meditated the offense, then calmly and coldly committed it. This is not really the issue of course, but it does suggest that Murtha's claim is a flat-out contradiction in terms. No one will call him on this. Perhaps the real tragedy is that rather than allow the military to investigate the event, Murtha uses his podium for his personal agenda, and to convict our military much as did his cohort John Kerry during the Viet Nam era. And the world Press eats it up.
Not that the Right is any better. There is a small handful of Conservatives on the Right who have earned their stripes... Tancredo, Sessions and a few others... but certainly the White House is filled with condescension these days. Bush thinks he knows better than any of us what is "right" for America. If we ever suspected that was true, those days are ancient history. His vision of America is that of an M.B.A. not a patriot. He's the C.E.O. of the military, not the Commander-in-Chief. If going to Iraq ever was a good idea, he failed to press the post-invasion period as hard as any of us would have. As a consequence he fell right into Ted Kennedy's and John Murtha's bramble bush, doing his best to prove Kennedy right. Bush has led us toward an uncertain outcome which he could have avoided by allowing our Air Force and Navy heavy weapons to wear down the enemy instead of allowing our Press to wear down America, just as this same cabal did in the Viet Nam "Conflict." Instead of waging a war, Bush thinks he is managing a "corporate project." Micro-managing a war such as this would require twice his IQ.
No, he sees it all as a business deal. Who gets the Iraq contracts for munitions, supplies and the like: and if there HAS to be a fence on the Mexican Border, who gets the fence-building and supply contracts. Don't be surprised if he gives some of these contracts to his business partner Fox in Mexico. Of course he doesn't really want a fence at all. Our two countries, along with Canada will soon be merged into one North American Bush Corporation. This merger was not even put to a vote of we, the stockholders.
Now, I try to use my wildest imaginings to find some noble reason why Congress and the President would be on the wrong side of the border issue. I mean besides the obvious corrupt reasons such as gaining questionably legal votes or providing slave labor to greedy Big Businesses and becoming the first Board of Directors of the North American Bush Corporation. I came up with one.
Maybe they are trying to act "noble" in the sense that 500 years from now when the History of Our Time is set in concrete, they don't want to be seen as being on the "wrong side." I mean, how does it look now for all those Congressmen of the past who consistantly voted against advancement for African-Americans? Today they look bad.
But what have those "noblemen" wrought, who pressed this "fairness" on America? Thanks to white America's sense of fairness, we have a good portion of the African-American community making great strides socially, but for too many they traded Step 'N Fetchit for Fi'tty Cent. The "noble" congressmen of yore also created a permanent underclass with its own cultural hell of young unwed mothers, children without fathers, a high percentage of the prison population, heavy drug use, a glorification of gang life, guns and the debasement of their young women. And, yes, masses who expect the Government to keep them afloat come what may. Let's not forget an obstinate rejection of anything "white" (except handouts of course).
Our noble fools in Congress are about to do it again with the illegals. Handing out citizenship to those not entitled, to those who don't really want the responsibility of citizenship but rather just the benefits, to those qualified neither by trustworthiness nor temperament, to those looking to exploit the easy targets in American Society, is neither noble nor generous. It is a formula for disaster.
Low-IQ-high-greed politicians have no nobility, nor do they share any patriotic feelings with the rest of us. They are rats who have no idea what it means to support the home team, win or lose. The kind of people who go to a ball game and rather than cheer the home team, position themselves near whichever team they think will win, for a photo-op. Their way, win or lose, they think they win. But in the end, they are losers. For History can't possibly look favorably upon the Reids, Murthas, Pelosis and Clintons. If they are writ at all by the Fickle Finger of Fate, History will judge them as examples of, to borrow Michael Savage's book title, "The Enemy Within."
Let us hope that a newer generation of emerging leaders, those too young to have experienced the debacle of 1960's America, will bring with them a return to a value system uniquely American. Judging by those we've recently seen, the hope looks slim. But hope does spring eternal.
