OMG best przdent eva

Well, you did it, America. You gave us a rock star in the White House. Thanks, so much for your participation. Thanks for nothing. Sorry, do I sound bitter? No use crying over spilled milk, I guess. Now we all just have to deal with it and (assuming capitalism is still somewhat intact in 4 years) deal with the issue in the next election.

If I had written this blog in December or even January, I would probably say something here like, “Prove me wrong, Mr. Obama. Prove us all wrong.” But, sadly, here we are in September and he is just making me more right everyday. In 9 months this guy has brought admitted communists to the White House to advise him, attempted to completely socialize the best health care system in the world and he hasn’t even stopped campaigning! Van Jones finally resigned this weekend which is good for him because I would hate to see what the “angry mobs” of conservatives would do if he didn’t… probably make big signs and peacefully protest somewhere and get no news coverage… oh, wait, that is already happening. What are we supposed to do? Bomb buildings? No thanks. That’s more Bill Ayers style and he is just a nut job terrorist… right, Mr. Obama?

I have a bumper sticker on my (Iraqi oil guzzling) SUV that says “How’s that whole hopey-changey thing working out for you?”  The “change” he making is scary change. So scary it is comical. Well, it would be if it weren’t true… what IS comical is that a (dangerous far right wing extremist) conservative like myself wishes EVERY DAY that Hillary Clinton was the president. But, no. Thank you people who never voted before and college kids and people who never EVER paid any attention to the world around them. Thanks so much for rolling out of bed before 2 p.m. for the 1st time in your adult life. You may now go back to not caring about any real issues. I waited in that voting line for 2 hours in the rain with people who said things like, “See? This is why I don’t ever vote.” Yeah. I’m sure that’s why. As if it was ever like that before the 2nd coming of the Messiah.

I’m not saying that all the people who voted for Obama are a drain on society. That is absurd. I’m not even saying they are all people who don’t care, but a HUGE portion of those people are people who know nothing about the world they live in and simply wanted to be able to say they voted for Obama because it was so “in” to do so. Look, I’m in favor of making history and the history that was made by electing the first black president is not lost on me. I think that aspect of it all is great. But, people, he was the WRONG GUY for the job! Oh, but McCain was… old. Yeah, look at him, he’s… old.

Well, you got your change. We have a dude in the White House that Hollywood-types seem to think we need to “serve”.  What the hell? He is supposed to SERVE the people! Not the other way around. I, for one, will sleep with 1 eye open to see to it that capitalism is not ignored and we are not just ”led to it” like the genius Bill Maher would like. My GOD I wish we had Hillary. Honestly, it doesn’t even make me shudder when I say it anymore. Now THAT is creepy.

The McCain Pep Talk

Well, that settles it. Stick a fork in Mitt. He’s done. http://www.breitbart.com/article.php?id=D8ULL1R00&show_article=1 

I guess that leaves McCain as the last man standing. Hooray? Not so much.

Yeah, I voted for McCain (oh the shame) but, there is a part of me that was really hoping Romney would pull it off at the last second. That part would, of course, be my conscience.

I am not exactly jumping for joy that McCain is our man. My main reason for giving my vote to McCain is  exactly what a recent campaign ad of his pointed out: McCain is the only one who can beat Hillary or Obama. That is the most important thing to me and it should be to all conservatives. Nothing scares me more than socialized health care and troop withdrawal dates.

So, Limbaugh and Coulter want to say that they will support Hillary Clinton? GREAT! Go ahead, back Hillary in the name of publicity and ratings! I honestly think she may be easier to beat than Obama. I know plenty of democrats that can’t stand her, let alone republicans. I am not in love with McCain but, no one will be able to convince me that he is worse for America than either one of the democrats.

When it comes down to it, would you rather we have a left leaning republican or a far left democrat? Sometimes you just have to vote for the lesser of 2 evils.

So, swallow your pride Republicans. Man up! Grow a pair and admit that McCain is the only choice that we have! We have to stop whining and sounding like a bunch of spoiled liberals (I’m looking at you, Glenn Beck). We have to back McCain and sell him to the hard right because when republicans don’t vote, America loses! We can’t afford to lose anything right now, especially not the war.

Let us try to forget the fact that McCain is not a “true” conservative. Let us instead, wake up and realize that he is the only one running with any conservative values. If that is my only choice, I’ll take it. Besides, McCain is more conservative than people give him credit for. I disagree with him on many things but, the fact is he is strong on terrorism, fiscal responsibility and (for all you bible thumpers) he is pro-life. He may not be the perfect conservative, but he is the only conservative we have. We will just have to keep our fingers crossed about the environment and immigration.

So, quit your grumbling and put that McCain bumper sticker on your car. I will if you will. Ready? Set? You go first.

 Where the heck is Jack Kemp when you need him? 

Romney, Huckabee and religion- Are you kidding me?

Aren’t we past this yet?

Mitt Romney recently gave a speech on his faith (all faiths, really) and their place in American Government. http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,315486,00.html He did a fantastic job. It was inspiring and well executed. Was it Kennedy’s speech of 47 years ago? No. Are we America of 47 years ago? No. Maybe that is why I find the whole thing so frustrating. I know that Romney needed to make that speech. I know that there are a lot of people out there who would rather nominate an Atheist than a Mormon. There are people (even within my own family) who will tell you that The Church Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints is a cult. I am not one of them. If you can call LDS a cult, then, really, what ISN’T a cult?

I was raised in a Pentecostal family. I am now a practicing Methodist. Admittedly, I have never been to a Mormon church. But, I know plenty of Mormons. I will tell you that I don’t know everything there is to know about being a Mormon. But, I have met lots of them and the ones I know are kind and giving people. The kind of people that the rest of our Christian faiths wish we had more of. The kind of people who walk the walk and talk the talk. I have never known a Mormon to judge me unfairly for being a Methodist. So, it drives me a little nuts when people judge Romney because he is a Mormon. If anything, I think it makes me like him and trust him a little more! I may not agree with or understand the doctrine of LDS, but at least the man has convictions! Doesn’t that mean something? It doesn’t matter what church he goes to. It matters how he lives his life and what kind of character he has.

I don’t know all there is to know about the Mormon religion. But, apparently I know more than Mike Huckabee does! Huck, who is a Southern Baptist minister, asked a New York Times reporter this week: “Don’t Mormons believe that Jesus and the devil are brothers?” Huckabee came out today and said that the question was taken out of context and that they were in the middle of a long conversation. http://www.politico.com/news/stories/1207/7357.html Does that excuse it? Are you kidding me? I don’t know if they beleive that Jesus and the devil are brothers. I don’t care if they do. HEY! I hear that the Catholics PRAY to MARY! That’s NUTS! Irony? Anyone?

Now, I’m not Glenn Beck (and I swear to Jesus and his brother that if Glenn doesn’t stop talking about the Mormon issue, blood is going to shoot out of MY eyes) but, I do believe in an American’s right to practice whatever religion they want. Not voting for Romney simply because he is a Mormon would make me an idiot the same way that voting for Romney simply because he is a Mormon would make me an idiot. Maybe this hits a little too close to home for me. As I said, I was raised in the Pentecostal faith and even though I made a choice not to practice that religion, I have to tell you, I am still pretty sensitive about people poking fun at the “snake handlers”.  Those fundamentalist crazies are my family!

I said that to say this, what religion, if you take a good, long, logical look at it, does NOT sound crazy?

We have no right to judge Mitt Romney on the basis of his religion. We do, however, have a right to judge Mike Huckabee on the basis of his stupid questions. Ok, so maybe he was just trying to get the answer to a rumor he heard about the Mormon religion. Or, maybe he said it to get people thinking about the dangers of the LDS church? Which is worse? Either way, that is a scary scenario.

We already have a President, bless his heart, who can’t speak intelligently and who many consider a religious nut… I for one, don’t want to go through this last 8 years again.
