Wrong

There was a comic in our local paper yesterday. One frame. Pictured were a witch, an anti-gay demonstrator, Hitler, and a Tea Partier with a dunce cap on his head. “I’m not a witch,” proclaimed the witch. “I’m not a homophobe,” insisted the demonstrator. “I’m not a Nazi,” declared Hitler. “I’m not an idiot,” pronounced the Tea Partier.

How eloquent and original to call a Tea Partier an idiot. That’s certainly never been done before, and the word idiot has fallen out of use. It’s good to see it making a comeback.

This is the left’s sorry attempt at... well, whatever they’re trying to do now. The sad thing is, any competent observer can tell the difference between Hitler and the witch and the Tea Partier and the demonstrator. First of all, Hitler would never say he wasn’t a Nazi. That’s what he was. And a witch is a witch. Granted, she could have just been dressed up for Halloween. So the only one they know for sure is Hitler. But the button on the demonstrator’s jacket said, “Gays are immoral,” not “I’m afraid of gays.” Bill Clinton was immoral (yet is still celebrated by society). Are we afraid of him? That could go either way, but most people are not. Think of all the adjectives liberals use to describe conservatives. Following liberal “logic,” they’re afraid of all of us! Score! And finally the Tea Partier. You can’t prove to me that a Tea Partier is an idiot. Of course, it was a somewhat clever comic(for a liberal), but I’m obliged to rip it to shreds.

Not that I’m all that pleased with Republicans either. You know the feeling of, “Come on, guys, you had this handed to you, take it”? (Ironically, this handout [the increase in popularity among voters] came from Democrats [the lords of the handout].) Why can’t they do it right now that they have the chance? Why couldn’t they be doing it right even when they didn’t have the chance, so that when the chance came along, they’d be ready? Why did they have to screw themselves over so that the party is divided now? The Tea Party should actually be called the GOP, because they’re everything Republicans should be.

Should be. That’s the operative word here, isn’t it?

America should be income tax-free. America should be governed by, for, and of the people. America should be one of the most revered nations on the planet, not an object of disdain from foreign countries and even our own elected officials and citizens. There should be a sense of “should be.” There should be ethical standards. It’s WRONG to murder babies. It’s WRONG for same-sex couples to marry (or act... married...). It’s WRONG for us to be afraid of our government. It’s WRONG for us to worry that terrorists and violent criminals will be let loose in our own backyards. It’s WRONG. I’m not going to sugar-coat it. It’s not just immoral, unethical, unconventional, or whatever adjective you want to apply to it. It’s not disputable.

It’s WRONG.

We as a society cannot accept the idea of “wrong.” What Bill Clinton did wasn’t “wrong.” What al Quaeda did wasn’t “wrong.” What the Fort Hood shooter did wasn’t “wrong.” Some people might think so, but some people don’t, and we must respect everyone’s opinions.

Good luck with that. Hijackers are heading a plane for the White House and you want us to respect their opinions? Not to stop them because that would be religious discrimination? Give me a break, liberals. In theory their ideas are... well, cute. And ideal. But they logically cannot work. It can only end in chaos.

Gee... Has that happened before?

We’re laying the foundations for the World Trade Center memorial. Are we going to be stupid enough to let that fall, too? (Read between the lines: Are we going to be stupid enough to let liberals get in power again?) I realize that it happened while Bush was President, but he had just taken office less than a year before, and quickly took the measures needed to ensure that it would not happen again. Which is more than I can say for B. Hussein, who’s only concerned with continuing and accelerating Bush’s spending policies. Not his tax breaks, not his pro-life and anti-terrorism stances, just the spending. If Obama “had this dumped on him,” he should have started cleaning it up, instead of setting records for most debt accumulated per year by a President.... IN HIS FIRST YEAR.

Blame all you want, just don’t expect any favors... like votes...
