Republican Party Impotent by Liberal Design

This monologue from Rush Limbaugh says exactly what I have been saying for the last 17 years about the manipulation of the Republican party by liberals. Read it and discover why I left the Republican Party a decade ago.

Barack Obama is Time Magazine's Person of the Year

Time Magazine selected Barack Obama as person of the year.

http://www.time.com/time/specials/2008/personoftheyear

Seriously?

This idiot is person of the year?

Obama did absolutely nothing and he is person of the year?

Even Time Magazine admits that he did nothing and they cite that nothing as the reason for picking him. They said they selected Obama, "For having the confidence to sketch an ambitious future in a gloomy hour, and for showing the competence that makes Americans hopeful he might pull it off."

Unbelievable. They admit he didn't actually do anything but he is person of the year because he has "confidence" enough to dupe millions of Americans into believing in a plan he never discussed. All Obama did in 2008 was spew meaningless campaign slogans. He never once even attempted to explain what "change" he would bring to America or why any "change" was ever needed. He certainly never did anything to "show the competence" required to be President of this country.

Barack Obama won the election only because John McCain gave it to him. McCain was such a poor excuse for a candidate that Obama could not have lost -- yet he almost did anyway. And don't forget Obama is sort of black. His race and how he played the race card were also directly related to his victory. As he framed it, you were racist if you voted for anyone else and you were paying reparations if you voted for Obama. If Obama was not black he would have lost.

Seriously. Obama is person of the year because he successfully manipulated slightly more than 50% of American voters. He literally did nothing else. What about George Bush. He ended a genocide and saved tens of millions of people from extinction. Isn't that the kind of "change" that deserves person of the year? Time Magazine should have at least waited until Obama did something before handing him person of the year on a silver platter.

My prediction: Obama will be person of the year in 2009 and 2010 -- regardless of what he does or does not do.

Prius Worse for the Environment than a Hummer

Over its expected lifetime a Toyota Prius causes more environmental damage than a Hummer. This is mostly due to its manufacturing process but its extremely short lifespan contributes as well.

See the actual "Dust to Dust" study here.
http://cnwmr.com/nss-folder/automotiveenergy/

Now, I hate Hummers and their drivers but only because those arrogant a-holes can't park in only one spot and drive the freeways at 90 MPH zipping in and out of cars and tailgating as if they are in a small sports car. I am also appalled at the sheer stupidity of buying something that one year later is worth only half as much. Hummer owners are idiots to say the least.

But, Prius owners are worse. Those pious, self-righteous a-holes deserve the same place in Hell as the Hummer owners. Their superior Earth-saving smugness makes them literally the stupidest people I have ever met. Does anyone really think that you can save the Earth by driving a car that is slightly more fuel-efficient than a regular car? Seriously? These are the same morons who buy carbon offsets. They simply want to feel like they are doing some good. Actually doing any good on the other hand is something they just simply can't be bothered with.

Really, does anyone actually still believe the Earth is even in any danger by humans? That is the ultimate arrogance. Even the bad guys in a James Bond movie with all their money and henchmen can't destroy the Earth. Colossal volcanoes, hurricanes, and earthquakes have only a miniscule impact on the Earth itself; does anyone really think that we can actually destroy the Earth by accident. Is anyone actually that ignorant?

If so, buy a Prius, but if you are even remotely intelligent you would never buy either a Hummer or a Prius. They are both over-priced ego boosters; replacements for a missing self worth. Anyone with even half a brain would avoid both and instead buy a car that is reliable, inexpensive, has low depreciation, and comfortable. Think Honda Civic or Accord for a proper car. Regardless of how you market the issue, no car will ever save or destroy the Earth.

Perspective on the Economy

Americans have no perspective. We seem to be unable to recognize our place in the world and how good it truly is.

We complain about 5% unemployment rates and a weaker economy as though it is complete doomsday. I don't see any zombies yet.

We act as though the slow housing markets will bring the world to an end. Are we serious? We would have to be stupid to expect only up and never any down?

Countries around he world bury thousands of their children every day due to starvation and we complain if the pizza delivery guy is five minutes late.

War levels entire cities and villages to the ground and we complain when our own homes' value drops a little. Lost value or not we still have shelter.

Inflation reaches the historically high levels in other countries essentially bankrupting entire nations and we whine like babies about high gas prices -- even after it drops back to $2.50 a gallon.

My wife and I once went to an authentic Ethiopian restaurant with a large group and the food they served us was absolutely horrible. Everyone else at the table complained about how bland, strange, and just awful the food was --except me and my wife who were more humbled by the experience than angry. Instead of complaining like the others, we politely ate as much as we could stomach and quietly discussed how the food we were barely able to swallow is considered a delicacy to most Ethiopians who never eat that well and live in such poverty that we cannot comprehend.

Most Americans have shelter, food, heat, clothing, medical care, and the other "necessities" in life like cell phones, flat screen televisions, portable game devices, Internet connections, Bluetooth headsets, and video game systems and it is still not enough. We still insist on buying new cars rather than used, spend three months salary on engagement rings, and spend money on daycare rather than parent our own children. Frankly, Americans are downright spoiled.

If America is truly the greatest country on Earth then we ought to act like it. We should be humble and grateful for what we have no matter how much or how little it may be. We should be if not sympathetic then at least empathetic toward others who are truly suffering whether from war, famine, disease, or some other actual affliction. True the economy is worse than it was a few years ago but with a little perspective we should all recognize that the world is not coming to an end and that we are still infinitely better off than most of the rest of the world. For now anyway.

Radical Homosexuals' War on the LDS Church will Backfire

The news has been reporting a rash of attacks on the LDS church in the last week following the elections. Mostly these attacks are childish vandals throwing rocks through windows and burning the Book of Mormon on the church doorstep. The last attack was white powder mailed to two LDS temples. Although it is still not released I am sure the white powder will not be Anthrax but will end up being something harmless. The temples shut down for a time while the police investigated these events just as the temple shut down during the homosexual riots in San Diego. Police have not yet said that these cowardly acts are connected to the recent vote on Proposition 8 in California where Californians voted that marriage was solely between a man and woman.

Despite the reluctance of police to state the obvious these attacks are clearly related to the Proposition 8 vote. Radical homosexuals are mad and have declared war on the LDS church. This is a war they will not win. The LDS church is no stranger to persecution, mob violence, and even attempted genocide. What these radical homosexuals can do pales in comparison with what the church has already endured. The church will simply fix the broken windows and will continue on normally regardless of the childish and cowardly terrorist acts by these radical homosexual groups. Yes, I realize broken windows are not terrorist acts but white powder is an act of terror. I also read that radical homosexual groups have actually disrupted church meetings in other religious denominations. Try that in my church.

These terrorist attacks will backfire on the radical homosexuals. I for one gave nothing to support Proposition 8. Frankly, I had heard very little about it until a day or two before the election. Now, thanks to these attacks I will stay aware and if the issue ever arises again -- which it certainly will -- I will send money and I will actively fight for the protection of marriage. Many others agree with me and will fight this war with their votes, time, and money. The next time such a vote arises, the monetary donations from LDS members will be triple what it was this time. Mark my words on that one. Much to the chagrin of the radical homosexuals, their cowardly attacks have caused them far more damage than they have caused the LDS church.

What the radical homosexuals need to do is take a lesson from the LDS church; love one another. These people need good role models that can teach them to love rather than hate. To help rather than hurt others. Really, would Will and Grace burn a Book of Mormon on the steps of a church? I think not.

One final point. The homosexual community does not want equality; they want special privileges. Marriage is equal now. No man can marry another man and no woman can marry another woman. Sexual preference has nothing to do with it. If the real goal was equality the game is over; they already have it.

Suicide Permits

Gun control is stupid.

Criminals will use a gun when they rape or rob you and because they are RAPING AND ROBBING YOU they will not care whether or not the gun they use is illegal. Duh.

Obama and the gun control morons want gun owners to register their guns and get government issued licenses to own those guns. Their rationale is that such a ludicrous scheme will somehow lower violent crime rates even though criminals will never subject themselves to registrations or licensing. Duh.

If the gun control rationale was even remotely valid then the government should start requiring government issued suicide permits for anyone wanting to commit suicide. Surely no one would ever kill themselves without first obtaining the permit. And waiting a few weeks and paying a few hundred dollars for the permit also seems like a reasonable restriction. Imagine all the lives we could save by controlling people so closely.

No, suicidal people will not wait for government permission nor will they pay a fee for the right to kill themselves just like criminals will never register themselves or their guns. Duh.

Career Criminal Thanks America

Open Letter to America from a Career Criminal :

Thank you America for electing President Obama. President Obama promised to save the world. I don't know much about that but I know he will save me --the career criminal.

Forget taxes, health care, and energy. Obama will sign new laws into place that will increase my income ten-fold -- TAX FREE.

Obama will enact laws that ban almost all firearms legally owned today. He will also require gun owners obtain a license to continue owning any guns not banned. At the same time, gun owners will be required to register each firearm they own. Obama will also increase taxes on firearms by at least 500%.

By enacting these laws Obama will provide me --a career criminal-- with a very large pool of victims. First, many Americans will actually allow the government to ban and confiscate their firearms. For those guns that are still legal, the tax increase will make them far too expensive for any poor people to afford. These defenseless people will be my primary victims. Since they will be unarmed they will be unable to defend themselves against me --the career criminal-- who will certainly not give any of my guns away.

For other victims I will send out fake firearm registration forms which people will fill out and return to me thinking they are official forms. I may go door to door also. My second baby's mama works with the Sheriffs department and she can get actual lists of registered owners and firearms for me if needed. Breaking into those homes will provide me a great source of guns to sell on the black market. And, thanks to the 500% tax increase the black market price of my stolen guns just skyrocketed.

The best part is that once Obama successfully bans guns I can steal them without any possible criminal penalties. A person keeping a banned gun illegally can't call the police about the theft or he will be criminally prosecuted too. And he can't shoot me for the same reason. I can walk into any home with banned guns (I have a list remember) and can do anything I want without any fear at all. Rape, murder, and robbery are mostly what I do. And black market prices will go even higher with a ban than with the tax increase.

All this free rape, murder, and robbery is not just easy thanks to Obama; it as all tax free to me --the career criminal!!! These new policies will make me even more money than my welfare and disability payments combined.

Thank you President Obama. Thank you.
