Notice the high levels of hostility and anger here.
We conservatives are so vile in their minds, it is easy to see how leftish pwogwessives often wind up trying to eliminate their opponents.
We are practical people who have seen the horrors of big government. We see the dangers, and all they see is their illusions. It doesn't matter that increasing government's power over us inevitably results in our loosing more and more freedom until most of us are slaves. It does not matter that their panaceas have only resulted in shortages, depressions and death camps. This time, these arrogant twits believe that, this time, all of this rubbish will suddenly work because, this time, it is a new generation of self deluded idiots engaging in the same old wishful thinking.
As far as the spiritual part of all this hogwash, leftist idiots are the most materialistic people in the world.
They would like to catch you and other doubters in their bwave new world, they would like to catch you up in the seemingly moderate details of Barry Zero's great new 5 year plan. Remember Stalin's?
Never mind he is not who he now says he is: the great moderate healer and bringer together. He is a slick huckster with a big ego and a cold disregard for everything which has made this country great. Just look at his permanently pissed off wife. He is the sum total of his leftist professors at Columbia and Harvard, the sum total of his close association with a race-bating, foaming at the mouth hater at his church for TWENTY years. And he is also a product of his pal, that Ayers fellow and that Dohrn chick.
If you really want the hair to stand up on your back and if you really want your toes to curl, just read what these anti-American radicals have written and said.
Do you Obamabots realize that your guy's victory would be as crushing to conservatives as the last 8 years have been crushing to you?
Maybe things are getting balanced out. Maybe God is laughing and we'll just have to again see how horrible this thing called socialism can be.
Your worst dreams of back alley abortions and gays sent to concentration camps did not occur under Bush, and most of you actually got richer: Most of you got flat screen TV's and went on nice vacations and cruises and fixed up your homes and regularly went to nice restaurants during the past 8 years.
What might Barry 0 do if your dreams come true?
Will the value of your homes and other assets continue to drop?
Will you still be able to afford the things you want?
Will government become even more unaccountable and bloated with corruption and waste?
Will the Islamo's hit our homeland again as the ACLU attitudes return?
Will Russia take back Eastern Europe as Obama dithers in his fine baritone?
If we still have our freedoms 4 years hence, he will be a sorry memory after the next election, and, then, we might, after all, more thoroughly realize and recognize what our Founding Fathers had in mind.
You are so busy reorganizing society along lines which make perfect sense to you, but which throw out every commonsense reality of human nature.
Your plans for redistribution are so fantastic, real people are fleeing the markets in droves so they can hide their money away from your greedy plans.
It is called smart trickle up poverty. Remove incentives for merit and wealth accumulation. Make almost everyone equally impoverished.
Soup lines anyone?
You see, collectivism and redistribution has never worked down here on Earth.
The conditions for socialism are just not right here.
Earth-niks are generally too selfish.
They just do not get the logic of giving their own stuff and money away.
MARX ON MARS 2009!
This is the answer. The conditions on Earth are not correct for this kind of society. Folks are way too self centered down here for that, so, Obama and his wife, ('where is MY trustfund?' Michelle Obama), will set up a great new Martian society of displaced, righteous progressive Earthniks on the red planet.
Join now to get the best locations - to look down on us non progressives who insist on trying to keep whatever we've earned.
Who'se gonna stand up for us guys now, Berks????
I was so upset when the Chicago Trib busted you.....
....for being politically incorrect. I even had a friend in Sonoma send me your cartoons from the SF Chronicle.
You sent me a cartoon I still treasure and promise not to sell on ebay.
Interesting you've got all these here Obamabots trying to blame your choice on their devils, Bush and Sarah Palin,
Vewy vewy intewesting.
Are you running out of stuff to write about?
What about a new girlfriend for Bill the Cat, "michelle" where is my trustfund? Michelle the Cat!
She could make him drive her around the wealthy neighborhoods of Marin and Westchester, demanding, "Why can't we have houses like that?"
Don't hold your breath, Mister or Misses quiet type.
So, he's getting all this money from teachers unions and, stoopid me, I can not see how he is suddenly going to piss them off, (because he really would not want a second term, and, he's so wonnerful, as Li'l Abner would say, he would gladly give up power if he could only help the next generation of ghetto youth escape from the slavery of illiteracy).
Am I correctly following your brilliant thought process, Quiet Type?
Right!
Cheers,
Zolt
