This is What They Think of You

A friend of mine sent this to me today upon finding out I had ‘converted’ and would be voting Republican in November.

If this isn’t the epitome of Liberal elitism, I don’t know what is. I particularly liked the caricature of the poor working class (who Liberals claim to support and represent) who apparently only vote Republican because they are just to dumb to know any better.

Not to mention the depiction of all rich people as greedy and selfish snobs, whose children are of course irresponsible coke head brats, and whose only rationale for opposing the estate tax is greed. Because God forbid you should be able pass on to your kids what you’ve worked your entire life to build without the government snagging some so they can waste it.

And of course there’s…well me. Apparently my opposition to taxes stems from my greed, which is odd considering I’m a college student who gets all of his taxes back every year. But clearly, since all political action is motivated by self interest, a hunger for money is the only thing that could possibly trump a desire to use the government to force people to accept me. Or maybe I just don’t believe the government should criminalize thoughts (and what do hate crimes laws do, if not criminalize what a person is thinking when they commit a crime?), or dictate to private employers who and how they can and cannot hire.

I really hope more like this comes out during the election, because even Obama can’t dodge the elitism bullet. At least now we know were Obama met those “bitter” voters “clinging to guns or religion.”

STOP!

If I hear another talking head on CNN spout off, “McCain wants to stay in Iraq for 100 years!” I think I might scream. While Obama and Clinton’s ridiculous comments tend to dissipate within a week or two of their utterance the media has been parroting this horrendous misrepresentation of what McCain actually said for months now.

Here’s the truth, when asked about a comment President Bush made that he would stay in Iraq for 50 years if necessary McCain responded, “make it 100.” Of course what you won’t hear on CNN is that he went on to explain that we still have soldiers based in almost every country we have ever won a war against, including Japan and South Korea. The reality is McCain was expressing two facts; first that he would not pull troops out of Iraq until the country is stable, and secondly that even after the majority of troops have been withdrawn some will remain in U.S. bases in the country.

The media’s blatant misrepresentation of this ten second clip is disgraceful, and it needs to stop.

A Glimpse of the Future

An Obama delegate in Illinois resigned recently after she received a ticket for violating a local ordinance banning conduct that disturbs or alarms people. She was given the ticket (a 75$ fine) after she responded to her neighbors refusal to tell their children to stop playing in a small tree on her property by telling them “the tree is not there for them to be climbing in there like monkeys.” She is fighting the ticket.

An Obama campaign spokesperson said, “Given the incident, Linda Ramirez-Sliwinski is stepping down as a delegate and will be replaced.” Way to defend free speech Obama.

Obama Fever

Obsessed With Obama

“I want a world that doesn’t exist. And can’t exist.”

Yup, that sums up Obama Fever.

This Is Why

Kyle Brennan died on February 17th 2007 while visiting with his Scientologist father. No one is quite sure what happened, what they do know is that when police searched his fathers house they could not find the anti-depressants he had been prescribed. We also know that when his father found him unconscious, rather than calling an ambulance he called a fellow Scientologist and waited 45 minutes for the man to arrive before calling an ambulance.

You can read a statement from Kyle’s mother here, and visit his web memorial here.
