Liberalism Is Insanity

Marching off to Surrender?

By John W. Lillpop

With all due respect to President Obama, has there ever been a lamer, feebler, dumber, or weaker call to arms than his December 1 “surge” speech?

What must be going through the minds of those young American men and women who will soon be sent into harm’s at the behest of President Obama?

Commander-in-Chief Obama does not really appear committed to winning the war; rather, he seems preoccupied with exit strategies based on politics, including his own prospects for reelection.

Is that any way to run a war? Is that any way to manipulate the lives and limbs of young Americans in our military forces?

What must be going through the minds of Al-Quaeda operatives?

First, this president has all but granted citizenship to KSM and fellow terrorists by providing them with a world stage in New York City. Then the same president makes a token gesture to fulfill a campaign promise, a hollow effort which gives the enemy comfort in knowing the end date and game.

Nearly 70 Decembers ago, America’s naval fleet moored at Pearl Harbor was attacked by the Japanese.

What if President Roosevelt had damned the Japanese for their hostile act of war, but committed America only to fight back until 1943, the year before the next presidential election?

Clearly, this president does not understand the importance of defeating Al-Quaeda and winning the war on terror, which he refuses to even acknowledge.

Obama’s “surge” is all about domestic politics, and protecting the interests of the Democrat party.

It is nothing short of a scandal that 30,000 additional Americans will be sent into battle by a Commander-in-Chief who is more concerned with defeating Republicans than destroying the enemy!

Higher Taxes on the Rich: Immoral and Wrong!

By John W. Lillpop

Not only do liberals want to tax the so-called rich in order to fund health care for illegal aliens and other uninsured millions, now a prominent member of the U.S. Senate has proposed a tax on the well to do to pay for Obama’s quagmire in Afghanistan.

As reported at Bloomberg.com, in part:

“Higher-income Americans should be taxed to pay for more troops sent to Afghanistan and NATO should provide half of the new soldiers, said Carl Levin, chairman of the Senate Armed Services Committee.”

Levin’s un-American scheme may actually find support among leftists who hate the rich more than they hate war!

When will this madness be halted?

When will the Supreme Court step in and rule that taxing the wealthy for every hair-brained scam and failure committed by our inept -president is unconstitutional, un-American, and just plain immoral?

Think about it: Why in the hell should the rich pay for Obama’s war in Afghanistan? Wealthy people already pay the vast majority of the taxes paid to Uncle Sam—what could possibly justify slamming the successful with even more financial pain?

Clearly, liberals like Levin regard the tax code as a means for punishing those who succeed and who are also a vulnerable minority.

Have you launched a new company, hired scores of employees, and earned a handsome income in the process? According to fractured the mind of Carl Levin, you must be punished for outshining the great unwashed masses.

There is a racist element in all this. For the most part, America’s rich are Caucasian which means that they are “fair game” for liberal tax abusers like Obama and Levin.

Why is there no civil liberties group in place to defend the rich against higher taxes and discrimination based on racial profiling?

ObamaCare Drives Seniors to Mexico as Undocumented Boomers!

An Open Letter To Mexican President Felipe Calderon

Dear President Calderon:

As you are no doubt aware, America the Great is quickly becoming America the Gray. The so-called "boomer" generation, comprised of approximately 70 million Americans, will soon reach retirement age.

As they age, America's boomers yearn for a less frantic pace---and a lifestyle that allows one to pause and smell the roses now and again.

In other words, boomers are looking for the "Good Life" which is supposed to accrue to those who work 45 years, pay ungodly amounts in taxes, raise a family, put children through college, and baby-sit the grandchildren.

Unfortunately, the United States is no longer as hospitable as it once was to graying citizens, especially now that our economy has collapsed. Further, Marxists dim wits, otherwise known as Democrats, are trying to make life even more unbearable with health care reform that makes it a crime to be over 50!

As a result, boomers have decided to move to your beloved Mexico.

Knowing that the Mexican government is a strong supporter of open borders and liberal immigration policies, as least with respect to migrations from Mexico to America, boomers anticipate that their needs and wishes will be fully accommodated with minimal interference and bureaucratic hassle.

In plain English, boomers expect to be treated like upscale Mexican citizens, with all the perks and advantages attendant thereto.

Incidentally, we prefer to be called "undocumented boomers."

President Calderon, I am delighted to announce that 70 million undocumented American boomers are headed to Mexico!

Viva America!

Current plans call for about 1,500,000 boomers to cross the border into Mexico each month.

As with any complex transition, there are several "ground rules" that must be followed in order to make this change seamless.

Accordingly, your attention is directed to the following action items:

* Mexican sovereignty, borders, and immigration laws are essentially null and void with respect to undocumented boomers. No attempt should be made to enforce said restrictions on good hearted, formerly hard working Americans.

* Undocumented boomers shall receive unlimited education, food, housing, legal assistance, and geriatric care on demand, the cost of which shall be borne solely by Mexican taxpayers.

* Mexican hospitals, medical clinics, and emergency rooms shall be obligated to meet the medical needs of all undocumented boomers, without regard to ability to pay.

This obligation shall not be limited or restricted in any way because of any real or projected negative impact on Mexico's medical systems, including the loss of vital services to Mexican citizens.

* Although undocumented boomers shall not be obligated to pay for medical services received, they shall be entitled to send $30-50 billion a year back to the United States with impunity. The Mexican government shall actively facilitate the transfer of such funds to America.

* English is the only language used by undocumented boomers; boomers have no desire or obligation to learn Spanish.

* America's historic free speech, free love, and anti-war revolutions originated with activists in the boomer generation.

In keeping with the boomer tradition of aggressive activism, from time to time it may be necessary for millions of boomers to take over the streets of Mexico's large cities in order to protest proposed new laws when the "rights" of undocumented boomers are in jeopardy.

During such protests, boomers will wave Old Glory and scream "Yes, we can!" and "We are Mexico!" in English, as they protest the rule of law.

All such activities are valid free speech expressions in a thriving Democracy. As a consequence, the Mexican government shall take no action to limit or impede protests by undocumented boomers.

* We Americans celebrate the 4th of July to commemorate our independence from Great Britain. Undocumented boomers prefer to conduct business as normal on May 5 and September 16, and to reserve the 4th of July for fireworks, BBQs, and displaying Red, White, and Blue everywhere.

* Undocumented boomers shall be licensed to drive without regard to immigration status. All driver instruction and testing materials shall be in English.

* Blood relatives of undocumented boomers shall be eligible for the same reduced tuition rates offered to Mexican students in the nation legally. Immersion for the purpose of teaching Spanish is a failed concept and shall not even be attempted.

* Undocumented boomers shall be eligible to vote in Mexican elections without any requirement to prove identity.

* Grandchildren of undocumented boomers born in Mexico shall be Mexican citizens by virtue of their birth, regardless of the immigration status of their parents and grand parents, and

* Undocumented boomers are very sensitive and are easily offended. Therefore, Mexicans shall refrain from using terms like "illegal alien," "Red Neck," "Cracker,"or "Gringo" when addressing or discussing boomers.

In closing, Mr. President, let me assure you that undocumented boomers will attempt to do for Mexico what 38 million Mexican illegal aliens are currently doing to America!

With best regards and wishes for a diverse and free Mexico!

Open Letter to Senator Barbara Boxer

noreply@blogger.com (John W Lillpop) — Mon, 12 Oct 2009 19:19:00 +0000

October 11, 2009

Senator Barbara Boxer
Washington, D.C.

Dear Senator:

I am in receipt of your correspondence concerning the gloomy unemployment picture in America, especially in California where the number of unemployed is over twelve percent.

While I agree that action is needed, I do not agree that we need to extend unemployment benefits at this time.

As you are aware, on February 17, 2009, newly installed President Barack Obama signed a so-called "stimulus" bill with a price tag of $787 billion dollars. That bill was rushed to the president for signature, although very few, if any, of those who voted for the measure actually read it.

I note that you voted for the bill, Senator Boxer. Did you read the bill before casting your vote?

President Obama surely did not, and it was he who said the bill had to be enacted immediately to stave off economic disaster and put America back to work.

As you are also aware, at the signing ceremony President Obama claimed that the bill would create or save about 3.5 million jobs, many of them in infrastructure and renewable energy projects. The president also said the measure marked "the beginning of the first steps to set our economy on a firmer foundation."

Eight months later, our economy continues to hemorrhage jobs with no relief in sight. Nationally, unemployment is close to 10 percent, the worst since 1983.

Clearly, the strategy of spend, spend, and spend even more is not the answer to our unemployment problem or the continuing recession.

In fact, the level of spending undertaken by this administration and Congress has caused the federal deficit to spiral out of control, and appears to be costing, rather than adding, jobs so desperately needed by Americans.

In addition, Congress is considering legislation for health care reform and the so-called "Cap and Trade" that you are personally affiliated with and so knowledgeable about.

Each of these programs would cost taxpayers nearly one trillion dollars, if enacted.

Senator, given the depressed state of our economy, is it not time for elected officials to abandon political ambitions and ideological passions in order to fulfill their fiduciary responsibility to the American people?

Rather than pursuing a second stimulus bill, or extending unemployment benefits, Congress and the administration should cut taxes across the board for both individual taxpayers (ten percent) and corporations (twenty five percent).

In addition, legislation for health care reform and Cap and Trade should be postponed until 2012.

Senator Boxer, if the Democrat party is serious about facilitating the return of prosperity to our nation, liberals must stop waging war on private enterprise!

Private enterprise--not government spending-- creates jobs and the opportunity for prosperity in our economy.

Granted, private enterprise is all about profit--but profit is the mother's milk that enables private concerns to hire employees and pay federal, state, and local taxes.

The desire to profit in exchange for providing services and goods is not evil. Rather, it is as the essence of the American Dream.

Finally, how long can our democracy survive when our elected officials find it acceptable to approve and sign bills which they have not read because of length and complexity, but which saddle taxpayers with trillions of dollars of debt?

America's elected officials should be required to read and understand all legislation presented for approval. Bills involving more than $100 billion dollars of taxpayer money should be posted for the public to review at least 14 days before any Congressional vote is scheduled.

Your thoughtful consideration of these points will be greatly appreciated.

Respectfully,

Chicago Eliminated: Another Teaching Moment for Obama?

noreply@blogger.com (John W Lillpop) — Fri, 02 Oct 2009 20:08:00 +0000

By John W. Lillpop

CHICAGO ELIMINATED! was the blaring headline on this first Friday of October. So what? was the bitter reaction of anyone who follows Chicago sports with any degree of sincerity.

After all, being eliminated is a tradition dating back to 1908 for the Windy City. Until now, ELIMINATED has been used to describe the obligatory sacking of the Chicago Cubs from baseball's pennant races or playoffs.

ELIMINATED, ALA Chicago Cubs, happens as early as mid September and as late as mid-October. Whether early or late, it happens every year and no amount of audacity can change that fact.

Now the Curse of Chicago has extended its ferocious tentacles and brought down the bid of the Windy City to be the Host City for the 2016 Olympics.

This despite the "sacrifice" of President Barack Obama, Michelle Obama, and Oprah Winfrey.

Or perhaps BECAUSE of the meddling interference of this elitist trio?

Still, being the good sport that he is, Barack Obama will probably use this public humiliation as a "Teaching Moment" for America and the world.

As Obama works to spin this defeat into a win, he will surely focus on the fact that racism is not limited to white Republicans in America. Denmark and all of the IOC are also afflicted.

Another tactic would be to allege that things would have worked out differently if the president had been able to devote more of his personal time to the bid.

However, ObamaCrats will point out that this president is the Commander-in-chief and was appropriately focused on the war in Afghanistan as a priority item, rather than the gory details of corrupt Chicago politics.

Which is why President Obama met with his top Afghanistan commander, Army General Stanley McChrystal for 25 minutes on Air Force One in Copenhagen.

That 25 minutes was a huge sacrifice made by the president on behalf of the 68,000 American troops in harm's way in Afghanistan.

If race and the Afghan war do not convince skeptics, Obama can always drag out the W. card:

America lost the opportunity to host the 2016 Olympics because of George W. Bush and his shoot-them-up blemishing of America's image hither and yonder.

In other words, Obama inherited the ELIMINATION mess from W.

Perhaps it is time for this president to have a long, quiet talk with his inner child in order to accept a brutal truth: America, and all of the world, is gagging on the over load of Obamamania being forced down our throats.

We are tired of your pretty face and throaty voice, sir!

ENOUGH IS ENOUGH, Mr. President!

Despite what Oprah and Rahm have been telling you, you are NOT the Messiah, a Star Wars Yedi, or the Dark Knight.

You have been prominently portrayed as the Joker but that is another story.

It is true that you do excel at some things. Like giving lofty speeches loaded with fluffy words and unrealistic promises.

However, despite what Joe Biden has told you, being "Clean and articulate" is NOT good enough for the presidency!

Unemployment is bumping up against 10 percent, the deficit is more bloated than Oprah, and everything else you touch is turning to gold--fool's gold.

You, Mr. President, are mortal, albeit, an above average mortal, with frailties and weaknesses just like the other six billion humans on this planet.

Take a deep breath, sir, and face reality in simple terms that even a Chicago community organizer should be able to grasp:

With all due respect, You suck! Sir!

Right-Wing Extremist Apologizes for Slavery

noreply@blogger.com (John W Lillpop) — Mon, 22 Jun 2009 13:29:00 +0000

By John W. Lillpop

Inspired by the terrific example set by members of the US House and Senate last week, I am ready to add my voice to those honorable politicians who publicly apologized for slavery.

However, rather than apologizing for the Caucasian race in general for sins going back 400 years, my preference is to take responsibility for my specific fair share of the carnage.

It's called "taking personal responsibility" and is all the rage on Facebook, Twitter, and other digital age venues.

Therefore, this apology:

"To people of all races, nationalities, ethnic origins, genders, sexual orientations, political affiliations, and moral values who were forced into servitude, at anytime, by John W. Lillpop of San Jose, California, and whom are still alive:

"My deepest, heart felt apologies and prayer for forgiveness.

"I ought not to have done it.

"Although I will be damned if I can recall ever specifically enslaving, or even abusing, anyone over the past 400 years, I must be guilty.

"After all, I am a Caucasian Christian male and member of the NRA who believes in secure borders, the rule of law, small government, low taxes, loving not killing babies, and a strong national defense."

"Please understand that I am not entirely at fault. I was, you see, raised in a home that put me at great risk.

"I was raised by a stay at home mom and a father who served in the US Navy and then worked very hard to feed and house us.

"Our family went to church on most Sundays, paid our bills and taxes on time, and respected all people.

"Except for that mysterious period when we strayed and dabbled in slavery. Perhaps it is best to have no recollection whatsoever of those awful times?"

"In closing, we should all take a moment to thank God for those brave Americans who had the courage to force an end to slavery.

By the way, do remember, they were white Republicans!

In full and deep sorrow,

Stimulating Californians: Federal Government Giveth, State Taketh Away

noreply@blogger.com (John W Lillpop) — Sat, 14 Feb 2009 14:33:00 +0000

By John W. Lillpop

Middle class California workers planning to party with those extra dollars from Barack Obama's much heralded tax cut would be well advised to avoid spending too lavishly until the dust has settled in Sacramento.

As reported in the Washington Times, in part:

Taxpayers from coast to coast are less than impressed with the plan's (Obama's stimulus package) $400-a-year refundable tax credit, which would show up in most paychecks this spring as an added $13 per week when federal withholding rates are adjusted. It drops to about $7.70 a week at the start of 2010.

'It's an extra bag of popcorn and a Pepsi, if you know what I mean," said Glen Falke, 64, an arborist from upstate New York. 'It's not a big deal for me.'

But residents of cash-strapped California are especially underwhelmed because a slew of proposed state tax increases - on everything from the gas tax to sales tax - threaten to wipe out the modest payday bonus from Mr. Obama.

'That $13 isn't going to do much when the state is raising everything," said Linda Fernandez, 65, a special-education teacher in San Dimas, Calif. '

'The middle class never really benefits," she said. "The problem is all politicians promise us the world and very few can deliver much.'
--------------------------------------------

Well said, Linda!

Fact is, Californians are falling victim to a vicious Ponzi scheme, orchestrated by liberals, whereby the federal government sends money to taxpayers, only to have said money turned over to tax-hungry leeches at the state level.

Barack Obama: You're No Abe Lincoln!

noreply@blogger.com (John W Lillpop) — Fri, 13 Feb 2009 14:34:00 +0000

Satire by John W. Lillpop

President Barack Obama took advantage of Abraham Lincoln's 200th birthday to point out how he has lived his own life in accordance with the examples set by America's 16th president.

As Obama deftly pointed out, both men served in the Illinois House of Representatives, and both were educated as lawyers.

Other similarities and differences exist; some of which Obama did NOT highlight.

For example:

Lincoln was born in a one-room log cabin in Kentucky to uneducated farmers. He was the first American president born outside of the original thirteen colonies.

Obama was hatched in a mud hut somewhere in Kenya where birth certificates are apparently illegal. He was the first American president born outside the United States.

Because of the slavery issue, Lincoln was not even on the ballot in nine southern states for the 1860 presidential election.

Thanks to ACORN activists, Obama's name appeared on ballots provided to illegal aliens, felons, and others not eligible to vote in all 50 states, Mexico, and lord knows where else.

Lincoln redefined Republicanism by shifting emphasis to the Declaration of Independence as the foundation of American political values — freedom and equality for all, rather than the Constitution's tolerance of slavers.

Thanks to a $750 million war chest, ACORN voter fraud, and a biased liberal media, Obama redefined the Democrat party as home to a gaggle of undisciplined Marxists, baby killers, pacifist wusses, corrupt labor unions, and elitists addicted to wasting taxpayer money on mindless liberal causes.

During the Civil War, Lincoln assumed powers no previous President had tried. He used his war powers to proclaim a blockade, suspended the writ of habeas corpus, spent money before Congress appropriated it, and imprisoned 18,000 suspected Confederate sympathizers without trial. (1)

One of Obama's first acts as commander-in-chief during the war on terror was to order the closure of Guantanamo Bay, outlaw torture, and otherwise make the world a kinder, gentler place for Islamofascists dedicated to murdering Americans, Jews, and infidels throughout the world.

Lincoln was very well respected as a man of integrity and was called "Honest Abe."

Obama cavorts with tax cheats, ACORN volunteers involved in voter fraud, and other unsavory characters, mostly unwashed Democrats from Illinois.

And, most dramatically,

Lincoln signed two Emancipation Proclamations to free (ultimately) four million slaves.

Obama is set to sign a "stimulus" bill that will pile crushing debt on the backs of several future generations of Americans, thereby enslaving people of all races, ethnic backgrounds, religions, nationalities, and socioeconomic classes just to implement a host of failed liberal programs that America neither needs or wants.

Bottom Line: Barack Obama, you are no Abraham Lincoln!

Mega Dittos, President Obama!

noreply@blogger.com (John W Lillpop) — Sat, 24 Jan 2009 16:38:00 +0000

Satire by John W. Lillpop

In yet another bold move in a week of unprecedented executive action by an inexperienced community organizer in the White House, President Barack Obama abandoned several "old school" concerns harbored by the Bush administration in order to properly address more urgent threats.

Specifically, President Obama announced that his administration has managed to isolate Osama bin Laden to a few "hot spots" where terrorists are known to congregate, thereby taking the bin Laden crisis off the president's Urgent Action calendar.

When pressed for details, the president referred the press to CIA Director Leon Pinetta who explained that the "hot spots" include Baghdad's "green zone," Iran, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Egypt, Somalia, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, and other Muslim states known to be sympathetic to the CEO of global Islamofascism.

Pinetta also indicated that sleeper cell neighborhoods in Detroit and South Chicago might be "of interest" in locating OBL, although further action would be dependent on convincing BHO to supersede his first Executive Order which dismantled W.'s unconstitutional, illegal, immoral, and secretive domestic wiretapping apparatus.

On a more cheery note, Pinetta declared that reports which allege that Osama bin Laden works as a fund raiser for CAIR in downtown Washington, D.C., at 1700 Pennsylvania Avenue, are "completely false and not worthy of further action or comment by the CIA or other federal law enforcement agency."

With Osama-mania effectively muted, President Obama rolled up his sleeves and tackled some of the more critical issues on the day.

Namely, BHO took on Rush Limbaugh, Republicans who listen to El Rushbo, and unborn fetuses, those incorrigible rascals waiting to pop out and destroy the environment, the global economy, and the world's food and water supplies.

As a result, Limbaugh, Republican listeners, and the unborn got a taste of presidential wrath of the type normally seen when a nasty boil shows up on the president's bum, or when a lingering hang over, brought on by not having enough balls to say no to at least some of the balls spinning out of control in the wee morning hours, continues to haunt America's main man several days later.

As reported by the New York Post and repeated below, in part:

"President Obama warned Republicans on Capitol Hill today that they need to quit listening to radio king Rush Limbaugh if they want to get along with Democrats and the new administration.

"You can't just listen to Rush Limbaugh and get things done," he told top GOP leaders, whom he had invited to the White House to discuss his nearly $1 trillion stimulus package."

With all due respect to the new president, getting "things done" is not in the best interests of America when the "things" are harmful to homeland security, national defense, the economy, and traditional family values.

Perhaps President Obama should stop listening to out of touch people like Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid, and other clue less liberals?

Instead, Mr. president, why not try to catch Rush's show which is on from 12-3 PM every day? Who knows, you might benefit from diversity of opinion and, with a little effort, might become the most famous "ditto head" in all of America!

President Obama also flashed a bit of competitive arrogance which indicates that he is probably better suited to arranging midnight basketball tournaments than serving as America's commander-in-chief.

From the New York Post, this additional information, in part:

"In an exchange with Rep. Eric Cantor (R-Va.) about the (stimulus) proposal, the president shot back: "I won," according to aides briefed on the meeting. "I will trump you on that."

"We are experiencing an unprecedented economic crisis that has to be dealt with and dealt with rapidly," Obama said during the meeting."

So, according to President Obama, in the event of an "unprecedented crisis" as defined by a Democrat president, the system of checks and balances built into our form of government is null and void?

Powers granted to the legislative and judicial branches of government under the Constitution are unilaterally trumped by the president when he has decided that he "won"?

Clearly, President Obama needs a crash course in Civics 101. Like three hours a day, from 12-3 PM, Eastern Time, for example.

All one needs, Mr. President, is an open mind and a reliable radio on which to listen to the man "with talent of loan from God, on a mission to educate and irritate liberals!"

Mega dittos, Mr. President!

Was Media Coverage of the Inauguration Fair?

noreply@blogger.com (John W Lillpop) — Wed, 21 Jan 2009 18:09:00 +0000

Satire by John W. Lillpop

Although I was (thankfully) able to avoid most of the Obamania celebrations broadcast by the liberal media on January 20, there were circumstances beyond my control that left me vulnerable a few times throughout the dreary day.

For instance, when nature called, I rushed to the rest room only to discover that jumbo-sized plasma television screens were mounted everywhere. Tragically, all were tuned to CNN, CBS, or NBC.

Dreary and depressing stuff, that.

Because of too much coffee and a weak bladder, nature called early and often, exposing me to a form of torture that no conservative should have to endure.

Given the choice between being water boarded or forced to watch Katie Couric, Brian Williams, and the gang at CNN deify Barack Obama, my only question would be: My water or yours?

In the interest of providing children with a fair and balanced view of America's bold new era, the following pop quiz has been gleaned from liberal talking points seen on January 20, 2009:

1. President Obama is:

( ) More important than Jesus Christ and God
( ) The embodiment of the cumulative spirituality, intelligence, integrity, kindness, wisdom, honesty, goodness, and love found in the Twelve disciples and all of the Roman Catholic Popes
( ) Infallible and Holy
( ) All of the above

2. Joe Biden:

( ) Is Vice President AND Secretary of State
( ) Works as comedian AND court jester for the White House
( ) Wrote the 1929 Fireside Chat in which President Roosevelt calmed America's fears about the depression
( ) Operated the TV camera during that 1929 Chat which was beamed throughout America in digital HDTV and surround sound

3. Obama's election proves that:

( ) Any inexperienced and unqualified black kid with $750 million dollars, ACORN voter fraud connections, and a gaggle of worshipping liberal "journalists" on his side can grow up to be president
( ) Black racism combined with liberal guilt can overcome America's obsession with Democracy and vote integrity
( ) The ability to deliver "thrills running up and down" the legs of dim wit liberals is more important than logic and common sense
( ) The premature death of communism has been greatly exaggerated

4. President Obama's Inaugural Address:

( ) Is more sacred than the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution, and Bill of Rights combined
( ) Deserves to be added to the Holy Bible as "The Gospel According to Obama"
( ) Is the most important 18 minutes of breaking news from Washington, D.C. since Richard Nixon's secretary "accidentally" erased Tricky Dick's Watergate confession in 1972
( ) Should be re-broadcast before each NBA basketball game, replacing that tired, old school National Anthem
( ) Should be the subject of an Oliver Stone flick titled, "The Audacity of Hype!"

5. As a result of Obama's message, millions will:

( ) Replace "Ask What You Can Do For Your Country" with, "What can big government can do for me?" gibberish
( ) Join the US of A communist party
( ) Cancel private health insurance plans in anticipation of Universal Socialized Medicine
( ) Stop making mortgage payments to greedy, corrupt lenders
( ) Join ACORN's "Reelect Obama 2012" campaign

6. John Roberts' flub during the Oath of Office was:

( ) Blatant racism intended to confuse a person of color
( ) A sinister plot by Republicans to invalidate the Obama presidency since the Birth Certificate fiasco flopped
( ) A feeble, last ditch effort to make eight years of language abuse by George Bush seem more presidential
( ) A high-tech lynching of a black dude

7. January 20, 2009 will be remembered as:

( ) Obamamas--a new inclusive holiday to replace December 25, a non-inclusive pagan holiday celebrated by confused Christians to commemorate the birth of a Jew
( ) The day that that stagnant, old Bush on the White House grounds was pruned back and shipped to Texas
( ) The day on which being a citizen of the world became more important than being a citizen of the United States
( ) The date on which being helpless and reliant on others replaced self-reliance and success as American virtues.

In keeping with liberal dogma, there is no "failing", or other self-esteem-bashing element to this quiz. You finished the quiz, which is good enough for Barack Obama, Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid, and Karl Marx.

Best of all, there is no longer a need to be hard working, competent, resourceful, goal oriented, driven, prudent, austere, patriotic, cautious, or diligent.

From now on, all of your needs will be taken care of by the federal government and Democrat politicians, like it or not!

Welcome to the Obama Nation!

President Obama's First Lie: "My Fellow Citizens"

noreply@blogger.com (John W Lillpop) — Tue, 20 Jan 2009 18:45:00 +0000

By John W. Lillpop

Football legend Vince Lomabradi once remarked, "Winning isn't everything, it's the only thing!"

Barack Obama knows exactly what the late Lombardi meant. He also has a greater appreciation for the "thrill of victory" after being sworn in as America's 44th president on this foreboding winter day in Washington, D.C.

President Obama also apparently enjoys a good gloat at the expense of those he has vanquished in the cutthroat wars known as American politics.

Which is why his first words as president were all, at once, a poke in the eye to his tormentors and an outright lie.

President Obama began his inaugural address with the salutation, "My fellow citizens."

Anyone who has followed the three-ring circus involving the president's birth certificate knows that Obama calling anyone a "fellow citizen" is a damnable lie, unless one hails from a mud hut in Kenya.

He dang near admitted as much when he described himself and the dog of his dreams as a "Mutt."

Unfortunately for America, the civilized world, and all of humanity, the so-called "objective press" was too overwhelmed with "thrills running up and down their legs" to concern themselves with puny issues like Constitutional eligibility.

Then again perhaps the Constitution and the whole idea of Democracy are outdated and overrated?

Will Sean Penn's Cuddling with Latin Dictators Cost Him Oscar?

Pity poor Sean Penn!

How was the demented lefty supposed to know that pink and red simply do not mix in Latin culture?

How was the lead actor in "Milk" supposed to know that attempting to make an icon out of homosexual Harvey Milk would fail to amuse millions of Spanish-speakers all across the globe?

As reported, in part, in reference (1), by the New York Post:

"SEAN Penn is getting worried that his cozying up to Marxist dictators might cost him an Academy Award. We reported last month how Penn was smacked by the gay Advocate magazine over his visits to Fidel and Raul Castro, whose regime murdered and imprisoned gays. Last week, Penn called José Miguel Vivanco, head of Human Rights Watch's Latin America division, and asked for a meeting. Vivanco flew to San Francisco to dine with the star Thursday and brief him on the situation in Cuba and Venezuela. Vivanco was thrown out of the latter country by Penn pal President Hugo Chavez.

"Tom Cruise let Scientology make him a household name for weirdness. Sean is entering into similar territory as a p.r. stooge for left-wing dictatorships," said a Hollywood insider. "It's never too late to do the right thing," says Thor Halvorssen of the Human Rights Foundation. "Political prisoners in Venezuela and Cuba could use the help of someone like Sean Penn.

Well said, Thor!

Sean Penn should do the right thing by dumping Hugo Chavez and the Castro brothers.

Moreover, if Penn just happens to win an Oscar in the process, well, worse things have happened to enemies of Chavez and Castro--especially gay ones!

Does CAIR Really Care About American Children in Gaza?

noreply@blogger.com (John W Lillpop) — Mon, 12 Jan 2009 18:15:00 +0000

By John W. Lillpop

In the story titled, Israeli Bullets Hit Home of American Children (1), it is reported in part, that:

"The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) reported today that Israeli bullets hit the house of two American children trapped under bombardment by in the Gaza Strip.

"CAIR has been seeking State Department assistance in evacuating the two children, ages six and three, along with all the other Americans in Gaza of the family contacted CAIR seeking help."

How magnanimous of CAIR to keep a watchful eye out for Americans caught in the cross fire of Israeli aggression! And to go out of their way to assure that the U.S. government is fully informed--that is most generous!

Now if only CAIR would pressure Hamas into ending it's barrage of rockets into Israel, perhaps the Gaza strip could become less of a war zone.

Go ahead, CAIR, do it for the American children that you are so concerned about!

Should Israel Allow International Journalists into Gaza?

noreply@blogger.com (John W Lillpop) — Sun, 11 Jan 2009 19:31:00 +0000

By John W. Lillpop

Despite a deafening crescendo of outrage from the international community as well as a recent ruling issued by Israel's Supreme Court, the Israeli military continues to enforce a rigid ban on foreign journalists entering Gaza.

A ban on the press?

To patriotic Americans, freedom of the press is inalienable, unless the subject happens to be the Constitutional eligibility of a non-citizen (alleged) African-American to serve as President of the United States, in which case any inquiry is seen as blatantly racist and the media obediently avoids even the hint of journalistic objectivity and responsibility.

From Press TV, comes this report (1) concerning Israel's ongoing battle with the press in Gaza:

"Israel has maintained its ban on international journalists entering the Gaza Strip in defiance of a recent Supreme Court ruling.

"Foreign journalists and reporters were refused entry into Gaza on Friday when Israel opened the crossing to allow some 300 Palestinians with foreign passports to leave the coastal strip.

"The Israeli rejection comes after a recent court ruling that allows groups of up to 12 foreign journalists to cross the border whenever the Erez crossing between Israel and Gaza is open for humanitarian cases.

"We call on the Israeli government to immediately honor the will of the court and allow foreign journalists access to Gaza," the Foreign Press Association said in a statement.

"The authorities' position that there was not enough time to coordinate and allow the journalists to enter does not seem reasonable," it added.

"Israel imposed the media ban to limit coverage of the happenings in Gaza, a move that has largely been successful. Some journalists argue that the media blackout on Gaza is mainly aimed at downplaying the Israeli blockade on the strip.

"The ban on foreign journalists prevents news networks from assessing the extent of damage from the saturation bombings, the number of civilian casualties or the seriousness of humanitarian problems such as shortages of food and medicine."

Question: Why no mention of the fact that the ban also frustrates journalists eager to seek out and chronicle the tragic wounds and death visited upon Israeli soldiers during the incursion?

One prominent argument made by those oppose Israel's media blackout is that, because of the ban, the only news coming from Gaza is from Al- Jazeera and other enemies of the Jewish state.

A counter argument might be that anti-Israel bias among foreign journalists is not that much less onerous than that of Al- Jazeera.

At least Al- Jazeera is a known quantity, openly recognized as THE network for terrorist-favorable stories and commentary.

Should Israel remove the ban and allow foreign press into Gaza? Or should they continue to prosecute the war in order to end the onslaught of rockets fired into their homeland by Hamas?

Self-defense or suicide?

Ann Coulter: Hot Babe, Brilliant Mind!

noreply@blogger.com (John W Lillpop) — Sat, 10 Jan 2009 18:43:00 +0000

Ann Coulter is that rare woman who has been blessed with sky-high intelligence, scathing wit, and striking beauty, all in one hot package.

Best of all, Ann`s brilliant mind has not been reduced to mush by the liberal brain washing gestapo known as higher education.

Coulter is a top-notch media superstar whose brilliance shines through from the conservative side of the universe, where truth and humor co-exist at the expense of leftist dunces.

Among her credentials is that fact that Ann can can incur the unanimous wrath of leftist thugs like Matt Lauer and other goons at NBC without breaking a sweat or swearing. Such an intelligence deserves to be the object of wide national acclaim.

Perhaps an "Ann Coulter Holiday" is in order? Liberals who blanch at the idea can work for free that day.

Oh, if only our alleged Republican president and GOP weasels in Congress had one third of Ann`s commitment to conservative values, one-eighth her intelligence, and 10% of her fighting spirit, there might still be hope for the union.

Although, I confess, there are times when I wish Coulter would go even further.

For example, after 9/11 she wrote that America should invade Muslim nations, take over their governments, and convert them to Christianity.

That was truly brilliant! But why stop there?

Let`s add the DNC, mainstream media, and all blue states to the to-be-converted list. Baptise them in Jesus Love and watch the world suddenly change, for the better.

In my view, Coulter`s most valuable public service occurs when she seduces lefties into public battle. There is no liberal alive who can match wits with the Blond Babe of the the Right.

America needs Ann Coulter, full strength, not decaff, nor Ann Lite.

After all, if We the People wanted wishy-washy, mindless pap we would simply read and listen to speeches given by RINOS like W.

Save us from all that, Ann: Please change nothing and just be yourself!

Barack Obama: America's First Non-Citizen President?

noreply@blogger.com (John W Lillpop) — Sat, 10 Jan 2009 14:50:00 +0000

By John W. Lillpop

Several television networks, including CNBC, MSNBC, Headline News, CNN and Fox have decided in favor of censorship and against fairness, at least when it comes to reportage of Barack Obama's citizenship status.

From World Net Daily (1), this, in part:

"Barack Obama's campaign officials and transition office repeatedly have rejected reporters' requests for comment on questions raised over his lack of documentation regarding his birth and the resulting concerns over his eligibility to be president. Now a number of media organizations apparently don't want questions raised either.

"WND columnist Janet Porter told WND she found that out when her organization, Faith2Action.org, tried to purchase airtime to publicize information about the eligibility concerns."

"With the date for congressional approval (of the Electoral College today), we wanted them to have access to the facts," she told WND. "Congress is sworn to uphold the Constitution."

The ad to be broadcast already is available on YouTube, and also is embedded here:

Why the Fuss About "Disproportional" Force? Nothing Else Makes Sense!

noreply@blogger.com (John W Lillpop) — Tue, 30 Dec 2008 17:36:00 +0000

By John W. Lillpop

With the expiration of the cease fire truce between Hamas and Israel, rocket attacks against southern Israel have intensified and threatened to engulf the region in all out war.

On December 26, Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert appealed to Gazans to stop the attacks or face a violent response.

On December 27, Israel began a major campaign to counter ongoing rocket fire out of Gaza. Since then, Israel has not stinted its efforts and has doubled its troops along the Gaza border. 6,500 reservists have been called to arms.

Naturally, fuzzy thinkers throughout the world, including those hiding in the United Nations, have condemned Israel for using "Disproportional" force.

Why is it that, when it comes to Israel, any use of force, regardless of provocation, is automatically disproportional in the eyes of those who hate Jews and the United States?

Much of the world would, if possible, eradicate Israel into non-existence as a Jewish state. Drive the Jews into the sea, they say, and the world will be blessed with peace and universal love.

Much of the world would have Israel wait until disproportional force is used against her, before reciprocating in equal measure.

However, from the Israeli perspective, disproportional force is the only strategy that makes a lick of sense. After all, the objective is to survive and that means stopping rocket attacks launched by a terrorist group, right?

Given the fact that Israel's only hope for ending the violence against her own people is by using disproportional force, why delay? Go after the terrorists, and root them out with all you have!

To do otherwise would be foolish and would only result in even more loss of life.

Although President-elect Barack Obama is still weeks away from taking office, one must wonder how much his looming presidency is escalating the drive toward war in Gaza?

Last spring, for example, Hamas political adviser Ahmed Yousef said that the terrorist group supports Obama's foreign policy vision.

"Actually, we like Mr. Obama. We hope he will [win] the election and I do believe he is like John Kennedy, great man with great principle," he said last April. (1)

For his part, candidate Obama declared that Hamas has "legitimate" claims and that the U.S. needs a foreign policy that needs to determine the root causes of problems and dangers. (2)

Are Hamas and Israel "acting out" in order to set the tone for the new president?

The larger question: Just what is it about being a community organizer from Chicago that qualifies anyone, regardless of how clean and articulate, to deal with international issues like the war between Israel and the Palestinians?

All I Want for Christmas Is--

noreply@blogger.com (John W Lillpop) — Wed, 24 Dec 2008 22:02:00 +0000

By John W. Lillpop

My two front teeth are doing quite well, thank you.

What I really want for Christmas over the next 12 months:

* Another year without a terrorist attack on American soil.

* Conclusion of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, with America as the victor.

* Minimization of the domestic terror wrought in Washington, D.C., at the hands of Barack Obama, Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid and other far out liberals.

* An end to and reversal, via deportations, of illegal immigration.

* Final rites for amnesty, the SPP, the NAU, the "Dream" act, the Alternative Minimum Tax, the "fairness doctrine," and No Child Left Behind.

* Lower taxes at all levels of government.

* Preservation of "Under God" in our pledge and currency.

* Less sympathy for those who are in homes they are not qualified to own, and more sympathy for middle class Americans who will end up paying the bill.

* Resolution of California's economic crises by spending cuts.

And finally, a year loaded with filibusters in the U.S. Senate to keep the Obama Administration from destroying America !

Merry Christmas from Mahmoud Ahmadinejad!

noreply@blogger.com (John W Lillpop) — Wed, 24 Dec 2008 16:27:00 +0000

By John W. Lillpop

One of the great-unreported stories is that Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad is an expert in the life and times of Jesus Christ.

In fact, the Islamofascist's expertise is so extensive that he will deliver an "alternative Christmas message" in Britain, four hours after the Queen's traditional Christmas Day message is broadcast on the main channels. (1)

From the link below, these excerpts from the madman's speech:

"If Christ was on Earth today undoubtedly he would stand with the people in opposition to bullying, ill-tempered and expansionist powers,” Mr. Ahmadinejad will say in a speech to be shown in Farsi with English subtitle

“If Christ was on Earth today undoubtedly he would hoist the banner of justice and love for humanity to oppose warmongers, occupiers, terrorists and bullies the world over. If Christ was on Earth today undoubtedly he would fight against the tyrannical policies of prevailing global economic and political systems, as He did in His lifetime"

Of course, all of those "spiritual" comments are meant as "zingers" against the United States and its allies in the war against terror.

Which prompts one to ask 1) Does Ahmadinejad even know that Jesus was a Jew? and 2) Has he pondered how would Jesus feel about a Muslim terrorist who openly calls for Israel to be wiped off the face of the earth?

Merry Christmas, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.

Merry Christmas from Mexico

noreply@blogger.com (John W Lillpop) — Wed, 24 Dec 2008 14:38:00 +0000

By John W. Lillpop

For years, President Bush has refused to enforce U.S. borders and laws against invasions from third-world Mexico based on his foolish belief that Mexicans share American family values and should be welcomed regardless of the rule of law, American sovereignty, and the well being of American citizes.

This delusional thinking ignores the fact that Mexico is a dangerous and corrupt sewer-nation that exports its raw garbage to America in the form of invading illegal aliens whom come here to live off the backs of American taxpayers.

Two current stories in the news tell the story about Mexico:

Headless in Guerrero

From Fox News (1), this report of brutal savagery and murder by Mexican heathen:

"Authorities found the decapitated bodies of nine men in the southern state of Guerrero on Sunday, and some of the victims have been identified as soldiers.

"State Public Safety Secretary Juan Salinas Altes said the bodies were found on a major boulevard in the state capital, Chilpancingo, just a few hundred yards from where the state governor was scheduled to participate in a traditional religious procession later in the day.

"Salinas Altes said experts are still trying to identify the bodies, but he said a still-undetermined number of them are soldiers. An army base is located nearby.

"Mexico has been hit by a rising wave of drug-fueled violence, and officials estimate that more than 5,300 people have died in organized-crime-related slayings so far in 2008.

"Mexican drug cartels have increasingly taken to chopping the heads off their victims, who include rival traffickers or lawmen. "On Aug. 28, a dozen decapitated bodies were found outside Merida, the capital of Yucatan state.

"Two other severed heads were found on the same boulevard in Chilpancingo on Dec. 7 alongside a sign reading: "Soldiers who are supposedly fighting crime, and they turn out to be kidnappers. This is going to happen to you."

Beauty Queen Arrested for Traveling With Alleged Mobsters

From Chron.com (2), this story of a 23-year old beauty queen that should be a real hit in Mexican prisons:

"Will her beauty fade in an orange prison jumpsuit?

"The question now hangs over Laura Zuniga, 23, who emerged this summer as the reigning beauty queen of Sinaloa, the Mexican Pacific Coast state known for its stunning women and vicious gangsters.

"She won Miss Hispanic America 2008 in a November pageant in Bolivia, placed third in the Miss Mexico contest and was heading to a global competition in Asia next year.

"But Zuniga is ending the year in police custody after being arrested late Monday traveling with seven alleged mobsters, including a boyfriend identified by federal police as a top member of the so-called Juarez Cartel.

"Soldiers acting on a tip detained Zuniga and the seven men at a checkpoint as they cruised a Guadalajara suburb in two weapons-packed trucks.

"Her father told reporters in Culiacan, the Sinaloa state capital, that Zuniga told him she was going to a Christmas party.

"The jailed beauty queen told police the group was heading for Colombia and Bolivia on "a shopping trip."

"Most cocaine smuggled through Mexico to U.S. consumers comes from Bolivia or Colombia.

"Arrested along with Zuniga was Orlando Garcia Urquiza, whom Mexican federal police identified Tuesday as a top operator for the Carrillo Fuentes smuggling organization based in Ciudad Juarez, which borders El Paso."

---------------------------------------------------------

These two stories make it clear that Mexico has all but descended into civil war and that drug cartels and beauty queens are poised to take over this miserable nation.

Yet folks like George W. Bush would have us believe that Mexicans share American values and should be welcomed here, even if illegal, by the millions. Why?

Myopic Vision, Greed Doom Auto Workers

noreply@blogger.com (John W Lillpop) — Sat, 20 Dec 2008 20:47:00 +0000

By John W. Lillpop

When labor unions were originally established in America, they provided blue collar workers with the much needed ability to level the playing field with corporate moguls who worshipped the bottom line, but who had little or no regard for those whose sweat made corporate profits possible.

In that environment, labor unions provided a positive and vital service on behalf of working people.

Unfortunately, union leaders fell victim to the same myopic vision and greed that had dominated the management class. Affiliations with organized crime added to the corruption of the labor movement.

No longer a positive force working for labor, most unions have become enemies of working people as a result of wage and benefits demands that drive employers to outsourcing and moving businesses to foreign nations for meeting labor needs.

The collapse of the domestic auto industry is an excellent example. Labor unions, in conjunction with mindless Democrats, who impose needless environmental regulations on business, have driven the Big Three to the brink of extinction with demands that render GM, Chrysler, and Ford non-competitive.

Blue-collar workers need to realize that labor unions are responsible for destroying the industries that provide jobs and income.

The solution is to make union membership a voluntary choice and make elections open and transparent.

If working class Americans are to have any hope for better times, they must work to remove the yoke of labor unions that has become just as detrimental to their well being as was the unchecked tyranny of management from years ago.

Arnold Terminates Democrat Scheme to Raise Taxes

noreply@blogger.com (John W Lillpop) — Fri, 19 Dec 2008 04:12:00 +0000

By John W. Lillpop

For a couple of hours Thursday afternoon, gooey-eyed Democrats thought they had devised a clever scheme to side step California's Constitution, which requires that tax increases must be approved by two-thirds of the state legislature.

What exactly was the brilliant Democrat Plan? Instead of calling taxes what they are, the lefties called them "fees," which supposedly does not require two-thirds approval.

With that sort of chicanery in their hearts, these politicians from the left passed a bill that would cut some costs but also increase taxes at a time when the economy is recession.

Democrats passed their "government by parsing" bill without any support from Republicans, and then it rushed over to the governor's mansion.

Deluded Democrats who thought that Schwarzenegger would actually sign their fiscal folly into law were not kept in suspense for long.

Within just a couple of hours, the governor announced that the bill was "dead on arrival," and that he would veto it.

As reported at Capitol Notes the governor said the following, (1):

"I was very disappointed," Schwarzenegger said. He then went on to say that the plan never met his definition of a solid economic stimulus, and rattled off a list that Capitol watchers have been hearing about since last night, like not enough public-private partnerships, and not enough public works projects exempted from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA).

"It is one thing when you say economic recovery package," he said. "But when you read through it, it actually doesn't do anything."

Bravo to the governor for his swift and firm rejection of this smug attempt to replace fiscal prudence with clever word smithing.

When it comes to higher taxes, state Democrats would do well to emulate President-elect Obama who concedes that raising taxes hinders economy recovery during bad economic times.

Republicans have a plan titled, "Republican Special Session Budget Plan," which includes $6.5 billion in revenue measures and $16.5 billion n spending reductions.

Together, these Republican-proposed actions would reduce the budget deficit by $22 billion-- without tax hikes.

In addition, the Republican plan proposes positive structural reform to ensure that California will never again face a devastating budget shortfall.

California's best hope for solving the current budget crisis and avoiding similar pain in the future is found in the Republican Special Session Budget Plan.

Cailfornia Democrats Need to Face Reality on Tax Increases

California Democrats believe they have found a way to side step the two-thirds requirement for raising taxes: Instead of calling taxes what they are, call them "fees."

However, in these difficult times, California needs real solutions, based on prudent fiscal policy, rather than "word parsing."

Revisionist History, 101

noreply@blogger.com (John W Lillpop) — Tue, 16 Dec 2008 14:33:00 +0000

By John W. Lillpop

In a December 14 editorial titled, Revisionist history about the Iraq war, editors at the San Francisco Chronicle supported the notion that "Bush lied, people died."

However, those same "objective journalists" failed to hold Democrats in Congress accountable, which is significant because a total of 111 Democrats voted to authorize the use of force against Iraq.

The following luminaries were among the 29 Democrat senators who voted to authorize the Iraq war:

Biden (D-DE)
Clinton (D-NY)
Daschle (D-SD)
Dodd (D-CT)
Dorgan (D-ND)
Edwards (D-NC)
Feinstein (D-CA)
Kerry (D-MA)
Lieberman (D-CT)
Reid (D-NV)
Rockefeller (D-WV)
Schumer (D-NY)

With the exception of the disgraced John Edwards, all of the senators listed are still active in politics

Senator Biden, of course, is the newly-elected Vice President, while Clinton and Daschle have been nominated for cabinet positions in the Obama Administration.

Harry Reid is Senate majority leader and Dianne Feinstein will be chairwoman of the Senate Intelligence Committee when the new Congress convenes in January.

In the U.S. House, among the 82 Democrats who voted for the Joint Resolution are prominent names like Gephardt, Waxman, Wexler, Murtha, and Tauscher, many of whom still wield power in Washington, D.C.

Did President Bush "lie" about the Iraq war?

Perhaps, but if so, he was aided and abetted by 111 Democrats who had access to the same intelligence as the president.

America Must Not Trust ANY Politician from Illinois!

noreply@blogger.com (John W Lillpop) — Tue, 09 Dec 2008 16:53:00 +0000

By John W. Lillpop

The arrest of Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich on corruption charges, including allegations that he solicited bribes to fill the vacated Senate seat of President-elect Barack Obama, confirms what thinking Americans have always known.

Illinois is, and has always been, a congregation of corrupt politicians, vipers who buy and sell political offices and favors to the highest bidder, with little or no regard for the integrity of our democratic process.

Illinois is the state that countenanced the thievery of votes by Chicago Mayor Richard Daley in 1960, which cost Richard M. Nixon the White House and, ultimately, cost John F. Kennedy his life.

Illinois is the state that gave America Dan Rostenkowski, a Democrat who is the most prominent lawmaker ever to go to prison for official corruption.

Of course, Illinois is also the state that gave America Barack Obama, an illegal alien Marxist who specializes in voter fraud through ACORN.

A note to those who will vote when the Electoral College convenes on December 15:

The arrest of Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich is a clear smoke signal and red flag to America and our way of life. Do not trust any politician from Illinois. Instead, install Governor Sarah Palin as the 44th president and, to keep the matter fair and balanced, let Joe Biden serve as her vice president.

America can simply not afford to allow a politician from Illinois to occupy the White House!
