Dear America,
Sometimes, I must admit, that I occasionally momentarily fall into the liberal trap of questioning the wisdom of our president. One such issue bugging me lately has been the retention of Karl Rove in the Whitehouse staff. Today I thought this when I read about Mr. Roves erratic behavior at a Republican fund raiser.
Frist, there is the location, Austin Texas. This is not only one of the biggest liberal snake dens in Texas, but the nation as well. In fact, it was in large part to Austin's liberalacity that "the Hammmer" Tom Delay saw fit to split it up seven ways to drive a righteous Republican stake through the parasitic liberal vampire of Texas that is Austin. Austin is actually number 3 on the list of American cities that Bill Orielly says is OK for terrorists to attack, after San Francisco and Berkley California. (Las Vegas would be number 3, but Bill likes the slots and whores too much, and who doesn't?). So the question remains: Why would Karl Rove go to Austin, to raise money for us? It's almost as kooky as going to the desert to fish.
Second, there is the way he conducted himself, as if he might be losing his mind. When crazy islamofaschist sympathizers try their hand at preemptive invasion and stormed into the event only to be arrested, Crazy Karl asked the GOP group's executive director, Pat Robbins "Pat, did you get her check before she left?" I'm not making this up. I only wished I was.
He then goes on to say "I don't question the patriotism of our critics." What??? Our assistant Commander in Chief recently announced that Lamont's primary win was a victory for "Al-Qaeda types", and Rove pulls the rug out from under him and says he doesn't question the Democrat's patriotism? Is this the same guy who once said "liberals saw the savagery of the 9-11 attacks and wanted to prepare indictments and offer therapy and understanding for our attackers" (no doubt through some socialized-medicine health plan)? If they are not with us, they are against us THEN, and if they are not with us, they are against us NOW.
Crazy Karl continued with a statement that shows that he may be softening on his social conservative hard line. "Many of [ THE islaMofaschist sympathizers] are hardworking public servants who are doing the best they can. Some of [ THE islaMofaschist sympathizers] are people looking for a free meal." It's almost like he wants to set up a soup kitchen for liberals or something, but actually what is more damaging was that he called a $250 dinner a "free meal." This just gives the class-warfare-invoking liberals ammunition. Sure, I, like Mr. Rove, think a $250 meal is "practically free," and the RNC might have even comped HIS dinner, but there are pods* out there whom we still allow to vote that don't make that in a week and you can't always count on THEM hating abortionists and terrorists (am I being redundant?) enough to ALWAYS pull the (R) lever like we want them to.
Finally, I don't know why Karl Rove does not show his support for Marriage and Family by getting married and having kids. The stinky sin of deliberate childless-ness hangs around his neck like a long dead, maggot infested, family-hating albatross. Mr. President, if you are reading this, as I am sure you or the NSA sometimes do, please for the sake of conservatism, consider giving crazy Karl Rove the Colin Powell treatment out the door. I also don't think he exercises like he should.
For smacking down a simple tool that has outlasted it's usefulness, Your Welcome America,

* Pods, of course, are the inhuman creatures who work for what the liberals call a non-"living wage," the same non-"living wage" that they try to force down our throats as an unfunded Federal Mandate in the form of the "Minimum Wage".

Liberal Limbo II
Dear America,
More on C-J's weak moment of fair and balancedness. Children please leave the room. Some sick vicious liberal is attacking a dead man like some brain eating zombie:

How low will they go indeed. If Reagan was so bad, why would we name the nation's flagship airport after him.

I read with interest the "Liberals' responsibility" letter regarding homelessness. Its bent is very distorted.
The Great Society did not result in homelessness in America. As usual, conservatives have their heads in the sand about their role in creating America's shame, homelessness.
Reaganomics and, more specifically, the Gramm-Rudman Act were the architects. The HUD budget was cut by 75 percent, gutting public housing and practically eliminating Section 8 ( we are still not back to the levels lost), and community services block grants and work programs suffered major cuts....

Why are we worried about the plight of single mothers? Your "Great Society" liberal Democratic president, Lyndon B. Johnson, gave all the young girls a welfare check when they had a baby and increased it with every baby.
Looks like the crisis was created by the liberal Democrats, but, surely, they couldn't have been wrong.

Preach it Brother Robert. Preach it. However, it was not long before the fountain of Liberal vile spews forth and some anonymous liberal coward post in the Story Chat section:
I guess we are worried about the plight of single mothers because of the absence of 'stand up men' who won't take responsibility for what they helped create. [Some liberal insanity removed] Maybe we can all rally together and start locating some of those deadbeat non-custodial parents on the list published Sunday in the C-J (just do a search for 'child support on the C-J, you can get the list there). If we can get some of them to step up, we can eliminate those pesky welfare payments!!!! Do your part, Mr .... start searching those last known addresses and try to collect the money on behalf of those children... then you won't have to worry so much about where your tax money is going!!!!

My fellow conservatives, and faithful readers, I have a confession to make, one that I am not proud of. When I was younger, there was a dark time of youthful indescretion in my personal life where I was sequestered at one of the ivory tower, liberal elitist indoctrination centers that David Horowitz describes in one of his latest exposés. I am ok now and it is something I try not to think of but it does qualify me to interpret liberal~speak. This is the profanity-censored analysis of what this one is really saying:
Frist, of course, there are the run-on sentences and the mispellings but it goes downhill from there. Next, there is the excusing of the harlotry, then there is blaming the victims whose only crime was to have testicles and "partaking" in the "milk" said harlots were giving away for free, followed by the call to vigilantee-ism, and finally repeating the liberal mantra of "don't ask questions about what we do with YOUR money after we take it from you," which is an idea born from the abominable and unnatural marriage of Feminazi-ism and Anarchy, and THIS is it's bastard child.
I am sorry for these women only in that they were probably not exposed to a decent faith based Abstinence Only class when they were in school.
For allowing me the chance to redeem the languistic centers of my brain that cannot be safely labotomized of liberal~speak, tonight America, I Thank You.

Higher MPG = Party of Death Conspiracy
Dear America,
A lot of folks are out there pontificating about a Democrat in the Whitehouse in 2008. Sometimes, it doesn't fill me with as much fear and trepidation as it does at others. It is at these times when I am looking back with nostalgia to the 90's when at certain times cooler conservative heads prevailed. One of these times was with the push for higher CAFE standards that would raise the mile per gallon requirements for the cars and trucks made here in the US.
Back then we conservatives saw this for the intrusive burden of Federal regulation that it is. We also saw it as an outgrowth of the Culture of Death that pervades the Democratic Party. Back then we conservatives knew that higher gas mileage came at the cost of less steal, less steal came at the cost less safety, less safety came at the cost of more death. The only way to make cars have higher MPG is to make them less safe! No wonder the Democrats were suggesting we raise CAFE standards. Therefore it followed, we conservatives should oppose it so as not to be a part of this blood sacrifice the Democrats wanted to make to whatever sick god they worship.
But it seems some folks have forgotten about that. Now certain fair weather conservatives are changing their minds. Now that gas is actually expensive, they think it's a good idea. They line up like sheep to sign on to this Faustian bargain.
It was a bad idea when Bill Clinton thought about it and it's a bad idea now. It almost saddens me to see that some inside the Whitehouse may have bought into this liberal poison. Before you know it, they might start trying to stop 'global warming'.

Limbo: Just How Low Can the Liberals Go
Dear America,
My local paper, the Murray Ledger, has a message board on its online site. Murray is a very conservative community and there are always a lot of patriots on there. One such patriot is Joe. Joe likes to post a lot and really sticks it to the liberals. One of his recent post is this:
The biggest reason this country is in bad shape is not the republicans, it's the terrorist around the world. I know there is no way to change a liberal's mind but that's the fact. I agree we are in trouble but how would a democrat handled it any differently. You probably say we shouldn't have went to Iraq, well a lot of young folks don't feel that way. If they did , they wouldn't be joining the military every day knowing that's where they are going. I think they are very patriotic. What would you call them, idiots for joining. The liberals think that way, just let the terrorist come and do anything to us that they want, we will just stand there and say go ahead, fly airplanes into our buildings and bridges, we won't do anything. Well the republicans responded and I back them at all cost for trying to protect the people.
Tag:NATINMIS*
For simply stating the obvious he is attacked by some vulturous liberal:
Joe, just exactly who are these liberals who want to "just let the terrorist come and do anything to us that they want." I don't even think Ted Kennedy, John Kerry, Howard Dean, Micheal Moore, Jesse Jackson, Jane Fonda or George Soros want THAT. They might want to "promote the gay agenda" and "take our guns" but they don't want THAT.
So who are you talking about? People who hold onto the hope that there is always a better solution than the slaughter of our fellow man, whether it be "justified" or not? People who really do think and pray about the issue and are led to question our reasons for going to war with Iraq? People who think that the blood of the patriots defending this nation should not be spent "liberally"? Those who think the responsible duty of a good citizen is to actually question and reasonably debate the merits of the decisions our democratically elected leaders make? Notice that I did not say anything about Afganistan, where the actual mastermind of the 9-11 attacks was actually hiding out, and whom we still have not found and brought to justice.
Has patriotism and loving our country really been reduced to what seems to be "chearleading for the home team", right or wrong? Perhaps your idea of civic responsibility does not match mine. But I sure don't think you hate America and love terrorists because you don't agree with me. I really wish you'd do the same.

America, this is the type of ignorance and arrogance we are up against. We present the facts and liberals distort some abstract concept of freedom as some weak emotional rebuttal to logic.

Is Al Gore Actually a Closet Conservative?
Dear America,
I was reading Hoover Institute fellow Peter Schweizer's article in the USA Today today and I came to a startling conclusion. Al Gore is possibly a closet conservative. I know what your thinking: "Now that's just kooky talk," but hear me out. Mr. Schweizer is the author of such scholarly tomes as Do As I Say (Not As I Do): Profiles in Liberal Hypocrisy. Anytime I see 'Liberal Hypocrisy' in the title, I know that I am in for a good read.
In the article, Schweizer outlines several things which he seems to think indicate examples of the aforementioned Liberal Hypocracy. But in the same actions that Schweizer list, I am starting suspect the actions of a cold blooded, conservative capitalist when you look at the things he points out. Take for example:
I am starting to suspect Al Gore is merely promoting this apocalyptic fantasy of a movie as a way of driving up the value of his petroleum stock. But best of all he puts himself out there as a patsy for conservative pundits to hang the hat of hypocrisy on. He can play the martyr, while still profiting from things like subsidy money the government is giving oil companies. What a brilliant, Machievellian move, Mr. Gore.
Now that I have exposed you as the "capitalist dog" you are Mr. Gore, let me be the first to welcome you to the conservative cause. You might have only payed lip service to shrinking government when you were in office, but now you can safely come out of the "conservative closet." It now even makes sense why Ann Coulter called you "a total fag," because like most homophobes, she felt an unnatural attraction to you that she could not explain. It was because even she could sense, even if she could not articulate, that deep down you are one of us, if only in the sense of that way that cyborgs can ever really "belong".
Al, from this day forward, please strive to thine own self be true. Make sure that Zinc mine can continue to send you royalties in a business environment not saddled with the horrible yoke of government regulation. Help make sure your children can inherit your enourmous fortune. Help ensure that the oil company stock that you own can appreciate at a rate greater than inflation by leveling the playing field that they compete on against the environazis and regulationistas that thwart their every turn. Help ensure that you should only be beholden to the government of this nation a proportion of your income that is equal to all, be they fry cook or CEO or social worker or lawyer or teacher or banker.
Just come out as the conservative you know you are. Look deep into your heart and you will see a conservative staring back at you. You might as well. You are exposed Al Gore. Now reject the indoctrination of the ivory tower liberal elites and become the product of privelage and wealth that you are and admit it.
Your Welcome America.

- He owns multiple homes, one in excess of 10000 square feet.
- Instead of actually doing something about energy concerns at home, he has a spokesman say they are "looking into it".
- He chooses to put the bottom line before the environment.
- He owns a buttload of oil company stocks. (I wish I did too, I sincerly regret not buying oil and Haliburton stock the moment our Commander in Chief took the Oath of Office.)
- He gets money from a Zinc mine. Zinc. Talk about primo commodities.
- He is the child of an entrenched political entity.

John McCain: A Liability to the Conservative Movement?
Dear America,
Fellow conservative blogger KY Progress posted this blurb about John McCain appearing at Reception to benefit Kentucky Republican Senate Trust:
"Senator John McCain (R-AZ) will speak at a fundraiser for the KY Senate Republican Trust on Monday September 25, 2006."
This got me thinking about John McCain in general.
I fear how John McCain could possibly hurt the conservative movement. The problem is that he, and soon his own son, has served in the military. Liberals hate everyone who served in the military and have been known to form vicious PACs to defame the military records of those that have served and stand in their way. They say "He's the reason they invented fragging" and other such hateful things. I fear it is only a matter of time before they come after him, maybe even with Jane Fonda herself.
Of course there are so many other conservative war heros representing us in Washington, hopefully the liberals will take a while before they get to him.

Setting Fellow Conservatives Straight on Gambling
Dear America,
My conservative conpatriot at KY Progress has bought into liberal delusions about the evils of the Casino Industry. Tonight I attempt to set him straight.
The issue at hand starts with a story about a slot machine on some sordid riverboat casino. Apparently it was stuck in payout mode and several miscreants recieved an illigitimate payout, which cost Caesar's almost a half a million dollars.
Apparently Mr. KY Progress believes depriving shareholders their rightful dividends is OK. He says:
"Best letter to the editor of the day from Conrad Reynolds of Louisville. Followed by some BBB drone suggesting that those stealing from casinos should obey the 8th commandment.
I thought that was funny."
Some chicken-&#!@ anonymous liberal spews forth:

You liberals won't be happy until you become everyone's nanny! Here on the western end of the Kentucky, the Socialist Blagojevich taxes our casinos at a rate higher than any in the nation. When the casinos needed permits to provide those that wanted to work with good construction jobs building hotels, the Socialist Blagojevich stalled the process with beauracratic red tape, taking months to fill key positions on the gaming board. Which like a good Democrat, he filled with partisans, but THEIR attorney general is fine with that!
Casinos provide a product, just like Kentucky's tobacco farmers, that may be dangerous if used in excess, but should be available to all that love liberty. If I choose to bet my hard earned money on the outcome of some random process which I know is less than 50% how is that any different than investing on some new businesses that statistically will fail at a rate of 80%? I have not seen you rail against the evils of investing in new businesses. Remember, when gambling is outlawed only the outlaws will have gambling.
Most important of all, casinos don't hire drug addicts, even the executives pee into cups, they don't hire ex-criminals, they don't hire illegal immigrants, and they don't hire pods*. They never ask for government bailouts like the pension-burdened airline or auto industry. They suffer from a yoke of government regulation far greater than what Ronald Reagan deemed necessary for the Savings and Loan industry, which was in charge of people's savings for goodness sake. Casinos are merely collectors of what Dave Ramsey call's the "stupid tax" except the stupid tax that casinos collect actually goes into the public coffers where it can be doled out to our profitable corporate citizens that are in need of subsidies. Everybody wins.

Minimum Wage Smackdown
Dear America,
I was first inspired to start this blog upon having to explain to some poor liberal why raising the minimum wage would give comfort to the terrorists. This all transpired upon the comments of the fellow conservative blog KY Progress (Link) where a cowardly anonymous blogger asks:
Where has it be shown that inflation has gone significantly after a raise in the minimum wage?
To which I freely gave this sage lesson in economics:
If the pods, who's only ambition is to work for $5.15, recieve more money, when they go and spend it on cheap booze, it causes an increase in the demand for cheap booze. This causes the price of cheap booze to go up. Same thing with food. Or the pods will spend it on drugs and the subsequent crime causes higher costs to society in general, through policing, incarceration, and insurance costs.
As KY Progress says a min-wage increase will benefit noone, not even the pods who get these ridiculous raises.
In the end, we all end up paying more because some liberal politicians want to threw their unambitious constituents a bone. Little do they realize that pods don't even have the ambition to vote.
Our politicians seem to have forgotten who they work for. They need to remember just exactly who it is that's buying the $500 plates at the fundraising luncheons they like to have. They need to remember who is sending them those campain contributions. It sure as heck ain't anybody on minimum wage.
Now, On a completely, absolutely, positively unrelated subject, we need to do something about all those illegal immigrants.
Of course, there was the dysfunctional liberal troll who just doesn't get it:
Who are the "pods"?
Talk about clueless. So I explained:
Since the liberals say that $5.15 is not a living wage, those working for it must not be human. I therefore refer to them as "pods" and hold them in nothing but contempt for their lack of ambition and their drain on society.
If they deserved more money they would get it if they asked for it, or find another employer who would pay what they deserve. But instead they run to their liberal legislators and pay their liberal minimum wage lobbyists to draft this feel-good PC legislation to force employers to pay them more.
While I normally am against tax increases, I say if this passes we should hit its recipients hard with a $2 an hour tax hike to pay for those social services that they use at a much higher rate than the rest of the taxpayers. Alternatively, we could use this hike to fund subsidies for corporations who have proved themselves to be profitable, such as the subsidies that Exxon and other oil companies recieved last year.
Unfortunately, since the pods pay so little in taxes in the first place it will hardly make a dent.
Another cowardly poster states the obvious:
So America's poor are "pods"?
At which time the site's curator noblely comes to my defense:
"Most of the nation's poor make $8-$15/hour. They are neither "pods" nor minimum wage earners. The point about many who would make more money if they only worked harder is valid, if not very politically correct.
A lot of the teenagers who make minimum wage are overpaid at that."
At this point, another cowardly anonymous liberal chimes in with his intellectual chum:
So, in an ideal society Kentucky Progress believes no right thinking adult should work at Wal-Mart. Therefore, making those jobs available to teenagers with spending cash, immigrants and retirees with time on their hands.
At which time I deliver the intellectual coupe de gras (PLEASE forgive my french):
Wrong again liberal. The CEO of Wal-Mart actually want's the minimum wage increased. They generally pay better than minimum wage so that they can suck the better skilled and more ambitious pods off of their competition.
By getting the minimum wage up to what they are generally paying already, they are not hurt one bit. Their pod employing competitors however are then at a disadvantage and will suffer while Walmart continues to prosper in what is basically the same business environment for them.
Just like bootleggers lining up with preachers whenever a wet/dry vote comes around, some big businesses actually get behind the min-wage increase.
Smart businessman like those running Wal-Mart know this is going to happen every 10 or 20 years and take steps to make it an advantage. Bad businessman, instead of working it into their profit margins like fire or flood insurance, just scream about how many pods they will have to fire or won't be able to hire.
At which time the liberal din was squashed.
Your welcome America.

So do you equate running a gambling establishment with being a thief? Is that why you thought it was funny?

Yeah, close enough. Casinos are fine entertainment for people with money to burn, I guess. But the main function of a casino is to prey on people who think they might win when the odds are actually stacked hopelessly against them. For people who operate like that to be surprised when they are taken advantage of themselves is surprising. I find that funny.
