Normally, I start these things out by saying ‘My Fellow Americans.’ Not doing it this time. If the polls are any indication, I don’t know who more than half of you are anymore. I do know something terrible has happened, and that you’re really not fellow Americans any longer.

I’ll cut right to the chase here: I quit. Now before anyone gets all in lather about me quitting to avoid impeachment, or to avoid prosecution or something, let me assure you: There’s been no breaking of laws or impeachable offenses in this office.

The reason I’m quitting is simple. I’m fed up with you people. I’m fed up because you have no understanding of what’s really going on in the world. Or of what’s going on in this once-great nation of ours. And the majority of you are too damned lazy to do your homework and figure it out.

Let’s start local. You’ve been sold a bill of goods by politicians and the news media.

Meanwhile, all you can do is whine about gas prices, and most of you are too damn stupid to realize that gas prices are high because there’s increased demand in other parts of the world, and because a small handful of noisy idiots are more worried about polar bears and beachfront property than your economic security.

We face real threats in the world. Don’t give me this ‘blood for oil’ thing. If I were trading blood for oil I would’ve already seized Iraq’s oil fields and let the rest of the country go to hell. And don’t give me this ‘Bush Lied…People Died’ crap either. If I were the liar you morons take me for, I could’ve easily had chemical weapons planted in Iraq so they could be ‘discovered.’ Instead, I owned up to the fact that the intelligence was faulty.

Let me remind you that the rest of the world thought Saddam had the goods, same as me. Let me also remind you that regime change in Iraq was official US policy before I came into office. Some guy named
‘Clinton’ established that policy. Bet you didn’t know that, did you?

Now some of you morons want to be led by a junior senator with no understanding of foreign policy or economics, and this nitwit says we should attack Pakistan, a nuclear ally. And then he wants to go to Iran and make peace with a terrorist who says he’s going to destroy us. While he’s doing that, he wants to give Iraq to al Qaeda, Afghanistan to the Taliban, Israel to the Palestinians, and your money to the IRS so the government can give welfare to illegal aliens, who he will make into citizens, so they can vote to re-elect him. He also thinks it’s okay for Iran to have nuclear weapons, and we should stop our foreign aid to Israel. Did you sleep through high school?

You idiots need to understand that we face a unique enemy. Back during the cold war, there were two major competing political and economic models squaring off. We won that war, but we did so because fundamentally, the Communists wanted to survive, just as we do. We were simply able to out spend and out-tech them.

That’s not the case this time. The soldiers of our new enemy don’t care if they survive. In fact, they want to die. That’d be fine, as long as they weren’t also committed to taking as many of you with them as they can. But they are. They want to kill you, and the bastards are all over the globe.

You should be grateful that they haven’t gotten any more of us here in the United States since September 11. But you’re not. That’s because you’ve got no idea how hard a small number of intelligence, military, law enforcement, and homeland security people have worked to make sure of that. When this whole mess started, I warned you that this would be a long and difficult fight. I’m disappointed how many of you people think a long and difficult fight amounts to a single season of ‘Survivor.’

Instead, you’ve grown impatient. You’re incapable of seeing things through the long lens of history, the way our enemies do. You think that wars should last a few months, a few years, tops.

Making matters worse, you actively support those who help the enemy. Every time you buy the New York Times, every time you send a donation to a cut-and-run Democrat’s political campaign, well, dang it, you might just as well FedEx a grenade launcher to a Jihadist. It amounts to the same thing.

In this day and age, it’s easy enough to find the truth. It’s all over the Internet. It just isn’t on the pages of the New York Times, USA Today, or on NBC News. But even if it were, I doubt you’d be any smarter. Most of you would rather watch American Idol or Dancing with Stars.

I could say more about your expectations that the government will always be there to bail you out, even if you’re too stupid to leave a city that’s below sea level and has a hurricane approaching.

I could say more about your insane belief that government, not your own wallet, is where the money comes from. But I’ve come to the conclusion that were I to do so, it would sail right over your heads.

So I quit. I’m going back to Crawford . I’ve got an energy-efficient house down there (Al Gore could only dream) and the capability to be fully self-sufficient for years. No one ever heard of Crawford before I got elected, and as soon as I’m done here pretty much no one will ever hear of it again. Maybe I’ll be lucky enough to die of old age before the last pillars of America fall.

Oh, and by the way, Cheney’s quitting too. That means Pelosi is your new President. You asked for it. Watch what she does carefully, because I still have a glimmer of hope that there are just enough of you remaining who are smart enough to turn this thing around in 2012.

So that’s it. God bless what’s left of America.

Some of you know what I mean. The rest of you, kiss off.

God Save America from Itself !!

(WASHINGTON) — President-elect Barack Obama today politely declined a request from the Republican National Committee to “redistribute the votes” from yesterday’s Congressional contests in order to “spread the power around.”

“It’s not that we want to punish your success,” wrote RNC chairman Mike Duncan. “We just want to make sure that everybody who is behind you has a chance for success too. Our attitude is that if the election’s good for folks from the bottom up, it’s gonna be good for everybody … when you spread the power around, it’s good for everybody.”

In a brief written reply to the GOP, Mr. Obama said, “Our Democrat candidates worked hard for those votes, and it would be a gross injustice to take what they earned by the sweat of their brows and to give it to others who, for whatever reason, did not succeed.”

“The electoral process,” wrote Mr. Obama, “allows a person from any background to work hard, to build a strong organization, to raise investment capital and to take the personal risk that is the necessary precursor to any successful venture. When they do that well, and they win, the benefits ripple outward to many others.”

The 44th president of the United States added, “If you redistribute their hard-earned votes to those less capable, to those who played it safe or who turned in a half-hearted performance, then you remove incentive from the system. In the end, when you aim for equality of outcomes in a particular arena, you inevitably wind up with mediocrity, because men of excellence and ambition will go elsewhere to satisfy their longing for dignity, self-sacrifice and honor.” — as reported by satirist Scott Ott / ScrappleFace

Feel free to cast your “votes” on which 3 cartoons best reflects your thoughts and feelings this week in our poll (sorry) at the bottom of this post…

(FLORIDA) — John McCain today withdrew his demand that the Los Angeles Times release video footage taken in 2003 of then-state Sen. Barack Obama praising controversial Palestinian activist Rashid Khalidi, and he instead thanked the paper for its courage.

“I changed my mind, and I want to thank you,” said Sen. McCain in a letter to editors at the Times. “You folks go ahead, stick with your bold decision to keep that video secret. After all, what’s a free press for, if not to withhold news that people don’t really need, or that might cause discomfort just a few days before an election?”

“My friends, if you journalists want to keep folks guessing about what you’re hiding and why,” he wrote, “that’s your right. If you want people to wonder if your decision is driven by your commitment to protect your anonymous source (whoever that may be) or by your recent endorsement of Sen. Obama for president, you have that freedom.”

During a political rally today, the Republican presidential candidate encouraged undecided voters, “not to make too much of this top-secret video, in which Sen. Obama allegedly toasts his ‘friend and frequent dinner companion’ Rashid Khalidi, the former director of the Palestinian press agency during the Yassir Arafat era.’”

“After all,” Sen. McCain added, “it’s been 30 years since the Coastal Road massacre when Palestinian soldiers hijacked a bus, slaughtering 37 Israeli civilians and wounding 71. Rashid Khalidi was merely director of the Palestinian press agency at that time, kind of like a journalist. He didn’t actually fire any of those weapons that day.”

Sen. McCain also came to the defense of his opponent, noting that Sen. Obama was only 17 years old when the massacre took place, and that Rashid Khalidi is “just a guy in Sen. Obama’s neighborhood, like Bill Ayers, who is now a respected scholar.” — as reported by satirist Scott Ott / ScrappleFace

Most of the Obamanista lemmings have been so brainwashed by his campaign and his silver tongued rhetoric that he could be in league with Bin Laden himself and they would still vote for him before voting for a Republican. That’s how deeply they have drunk from and emptied the Obama “Kool-aid” punch bowl.

Thomas Sowell: “.. In addition to the voter frauds that ACORN has been involved in over the years, it is an organization with a history of thuggery..”

“Jeremiah Wright and Michael Pfleger are not just people with left-wing opinions. They are reckless demagogues preaching hatred of the lowest sort — and both are recipients of money from Obama.”

“Bill Ayers is not just ‘an education professor’ who has some left-wing views. He is a confessed and unrepentant terrorist, who more recently has put his message of resentment into the schools — an effort using money from a foundation that Obama headed.”
..
“A CANDIDATE WHO SPENDS TWO DECADES PROMOTING THE POLARIZATION AND THEN RUNS AS A HEALER AND UNITER, RATHER THAN A DIVIDER, FORFEITS ALL TRUST BY THAT FACT ALONE.”
…
“If Barack Obama had run as what he has always been, rather than as what he has never been, then we could simply cast our votes based on whether or not we agree with what he has always stood for.”

“Some people take solace from the fact that Senator Obama has verbally shifted position on some issues, like drilling for oil or gun control, since this is supposed to show that he is ‘pragmatic’ rather than ideological.”

“BUT POLITICAL ZIG-ZAGS SHOW NO SUCH MODERATION AS SOME SEEM TO ASSUME. LENIN ZIG-ZAGGED AND SO DID HITLER. ZIG-ZAGS MAY SHOW NO MORE THAN THAT SOMEONE IS PLAYING THE PUBLIC FOR FOOLS.”

“Some people who see the fraud in what Obama is saying are amazed that others do not. BUT OBAMA KNOWS WHAT CON MEN HAVE LONG KNOWN, THAT THEIR JOB IS NOT TO CONVINCE SKEPTICS BUT TO ENABLE THE GULLIBLE TO CONTINUE TO BELIEVE WHAT THEY WANT TO BELIEVE. He does that very well.” — Thomas Sowell.

Don’t expect to see Thomas Sowell interviewed on any main stream media news outlet other than perhaps Fox.

Oops that’s two posts in a row from a person of color critcizing Barack Obama’s policies! I guess that makes us racist along with the authors for having such audacity…

Straight up talk to his Brothers and Sisters…

Bravo Macho! You deserve kudos for guts, courage and honesty. You will of course more than likely be dismissed as an uncle tom by many ignorant, leftist, racist liberals of all skin colors mesmerized by the silver tongued self appointed savior of American society.

Why He’s a Republican…

Right on my friend… Too bad Colin Powell didn’t have the courage you have but I still respect what he has done for his country. Lord knows what would have been said of General Powell had he endorsed John McCain !!

For your critical review — Our Top 5 Picks of the Week:  Political cartoons focused on the topic of grass roots community organizing aka “Acorn Voter Fraud” :

We have become a fine example of democracy at work for “3rd world nations” around the world to emulate.  The voting process in Iraq was probably more honest using blue ink on voter’s thumbs to prevent voter fraud.  We never thought it would come to this in the United States but then again,  Obama is all about CHANGE..!! Get used to it. Your in the USSA now… United Socialist States of America.

Every economist agrees that the current financial crisis is a direct result of the melt down related to the bursting of the “housing bubble”. A bubble fueled by Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac by making highly risky “government backed loans” to people with low paying and even no jobs at all with virtually no chance of paying them back.  Mortgage money was flowing free like water thanks to the combination of low interest rates and government give away institutions like Fannie and Freddie.

Here you can listen to Democrats in their own words dismissing the alarms raised by the regulators of the now FAILED Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. These hearing took place in 2004 (remember this when you watch the video) and CLEARLY Republicans were warning that MORE CONTROLS were needed and that the corruption and free for all housing give away to so called “low income” housing was headed for a crisis. Listen and see the words straight from the horses mouth.

This CSPAN2 video is a bit long but after about 50% of it you will clearly get the picture of the facts that the Democrats DON’T want you to hear !!!

Mr. Franklin Raines, mentioned in the video, by the way is alleged to be one of Obama’s economic advisers.  He is the now ex-CEO of Fannie Mae who was making in excess of $90M / year and was also the subject of scrutiny of regulatory investigator being questioned in Congress. Now of course there is admission of a “lack of oversight” and Dems want to blame Republicans!  (Fannie and Freddie were created under the Carter Administration) — even Clinton said at the end of the video that HE should have done more to regulate them. But the fact remains, they were protected by the most socialist Dems and that fact points the finger in the opposite direction my friends.

Not only do Democrats now want a quick fix to get this behind them but they also want to dump more good money after bad into these same agencies and other “social welfare” programs like ACORN and La Razza.  They want the taxpayers to pay for it.  In my book that’s Socialism in its purest form!!

The cat is out of this bag and taxpayers should not be footing the bill and end up indirectly turning America into a socialist state. Democrats WILL INCREASE ALL OUR TAXES (not just the “wealthy”) TO FUND THIS BAIL OUT and we will never see a dime of so called “potential profit” from all these bad mortgage loans. YOu can take THAT to the bank!

Stop Democrat (quickly becoming the Socialist Party) in Congress from”CHANGING” America into a socialist state. Stop the formation of the (USSA) United Socialist States of America without us even realizing it.

Call Congress NOW! Congressional Switchboard (you will be connected to your representative’s and senator’s office) and say no to set aside for ACORN and LaRaza. No pork barrel. No earmarks. No bailout moneys to ACORN and LaRaza and other Democrat social programs that have created this mess.

FOOT NOTES and REFERENCES to still un-confirmed allegations of Obama and Raines ties:

On September 18, 2008, John McCain’s Campaign, published a campaign ad that quoted the Washington Post’s claim that Franklin Raines advises Barack Obama on economic matters. The ad also notes that “Raines made millions and then left Fannie Mae while it was under investigation for accounting irregularities”. Both Raines and the Obama Campaign claim that Raines is not an Obama advisor and has never advised Senator Obama.  When the claim that Raines was an Obama advisor appeared multiple times in the Washington Post (first July 16th) months before the McCain ad, the Obama campaign didn’t seek a correction. However, they did seek a correction from the Post after the ad appeared. ^{– References}
