Post-election madness

Let's see, the election. Anyone here win money on how disappointed I am in the American electorate and the California electorate? Let's start at the top, shall we?
Barack Obama…. Give me a break, really. The electorate, by a margin of 6 million sheeple, voted for a man who has never accomplished a single thing, good or bad, in federal government aside from being the only black senator. Since when was this a full qualification to be president? The only qualification that Obama met to be president was that he is, supposedly, an American Citizen. I say supposedly because there is currently a lawsuit in Baltimore by a private investigator who, working with a retired Israeli intelligence officer, uncovered evidence that Mr. Obama's birth certificate that he presented as proof of his citizenship was actually the photo-shopped copy of his sister. Go figure that our "Messiah" is starting off with the lies before he even ran for office.

Really, what has his majesty accomplished in his tenor as Senator, or member of the Illinois legislature? Nothing of any significant merit, that's what, and yet, he was chosen over a man who has more integrity than an army of Data's. He has no military experience, yet he's going to be our Commander-in-Chief during a war. He has to history of being involved in the creation of any major legislation in either of his legislative positions aside from voting "present" about 90 percent of the time, and he's going to be our nation's chief legislator. He has no experience in a courtroom, and yet he is going to have control over the inevitable Supreme Court nominations in the next four years. He has absolutely no international experience, never traveled outside our borders as a representative of the US, and yet he is going to be our nations chief ambassador. He has no experience in domestic affairs, and yet he is going to be our nations chief policeman. Shall I go on? No? Okay then.

I am not surprised, though. He is one of the most eloquent, influential speakers I have ever heard. Yet his manner and method of speaking is eerily familiar to me. Where have I heard his mannerisms before, the slow start, the building up of emotion and getting the crowd to sit on the edge of their seats, with baited breath, waiting for the next word? Oh, yes, Nuremberg, 1936. That's where, and a little known dictator named Hitler. Very little substance and a lot of emotion, that's what Obama spouts. Want some examples of what you people are in for in the next few years due to the election? Here ya go!

  1. Creation of a national energy commission. This commission will have the full presidential authority to oversee America's energy policy, on both a national level and a more local, individual level. It will have the authority to levy fines, force changes to local ordinances, and require new technologies to protect the environment. This means, if the commission feels you, as an individual, are using too much power at home, or too much gas driving, they will have the authority to fine you, forcibly change your lifestyle, or imprison you until you meet their environmentalist concepts. Sound hunky dory? Well, that is just one step of eroding the personal liberty you hold so dear. This means the implementation of the fuel monitoring concept tossed around here in California where cars were going to be required to have computers built into them which monitored how much you drove, and taxed you accordingly at the end of each month. Worst case scenario? Restricted travel, travel documentation, gas rationing, energy rationing, etc, etc, etc, all to help the little green plant friends of Al Gore, the likely commissioner in chief. This sounds like the old Soviet Union to me. But you go ahead and tell yourself that you are saving the environment.
  2. The American Gestapo. That's right, a secret police. Obama revealed himself to be a little too Marxist at Colorado Springs in June. He said he wants a civilian "national security organization" that is responsible only to the president, has absolute authority over domestic security, and is as powerful, well trained and as funded as the military. Now the US military has an annual budget of around $500 billion dollars, and has approximately 2 million persons in uniform. This means a police force, responsible only to the president, with a $500 billion dollar budget, is 2 million people strong, and exists for the simple purpose of enforcing the president's policies. What policies are these? Well, he doesn't answer those questions. Could he mean fight terrorism, both international and domestic? Could he mean rolling the intelligence agencies and federal law enforcement agencies together? Does he mean a force that would fight domestic dissent? We don't know. Just like Hitler never really told the German people what the purpose of the SD and SS were, Obama won't explain his remarks, simply saying that he is quoted out of context here. Seems pretty clear to me. A private military force, with no congressional oversight, enforcing the policy of the Oval Office? Great. We've never had a secret police in America, even when we were British subjects. Even at its worst, the FBI under Hoover simply monitored dissenters, but never had the authority to do anything to them. But Obama wants to change all that. Even Lincoln simply arrested people and threw them in jail after suspending habeas corpus, but he never had a Gestapo to do his dirty work.
  3. Surrender in Iraq. Call it what you want, but Obama has promised to remove American military forces from Iraq within 16 months after he gets elected. Call it a withdrawal, a restructuring, transfer of power, it is one thing, and one thing alone, a surrender to enemy forces before full victory is achieved. This is something we can't really afford. We've already proven that if you make a conflict with the US too bloody, like Vietnam, the American people just can't stomach it. And no war in history has been as closely followed as Iraq. We could practically watch the actual battles going on in real time while eating popcorn and drinking coke, second guessing each squad leader like it was one giant game of Call of Duty and had no real meaning, we just change the channel when it gets ugly. But ask the poor grunt on the ground in the "sandbox" and see what they say. "Leave us here, let us finish our job, and don't make this conflict we've fought for be for nothing." Yet that is exactly what will happen under Obama's watch. Oh well, just don't come bitching to those of us who supported our efforts there when we have to go back in and clean the rats out, or when your kids have to go back in there and bleed for land we already took. In fact, just shut the hell up when that happens, and it will. We screwed the pooch there in 1992, and we had to go back in 2003, maybe in 13 years we'll be back again to kick Iran out, and they'll have nukes by then. Which leads me to…
  4. A nuclear Iran. With our scrotum-less international policies which Mr. Obama wants to follow, Iran will develop nuclear arms just like North Korea did a few years ago. But unlike North Korea, there are plenty of targets that Iran would love to fling a nuke at, and they don't mind, i.e. the leadership, getting blasted in return. The Iranian government is responsible for some of the worst war crimes in the last fifty years, yet we don't call them to task on it, they have supported Hamas and Hezbollah, the Chechens, and terror attacks in China, they've funded attacks on American embassies, military complexes in Saudi Arabia, suicide bombings in Israel, and across Europe. Their leadership denies the Holocaust happened, and have made it their government policy to "wipe Israel from the map, and exterminate the Zionists." Sounds like a great bunch of guys. These are the brainiacs who called the Soviet Union the Lesser Satan, and reserved the title Great Satan for you and me. They don't care about toppling our government or instituting Islamic law here, they just want to KILL and kill lots of people, to bring about their apocalypse, which in turn will bring the Mahdi to save and unify all Muslims and conquer all non-Muslims, which can only happen when Islam faces extinction, or so says the Koran. Mr. Obama wants to meet with these guys with no pre-conditions, no stipulations, and no expectations. So to him, the idea of permanently preventing them from getting nukes is simply one of many options. Yet Israel has already said they will nuke Iran until they can be seen glowing from the moon on a clear night if they think Iran is about to develop nukes, but Mr. Obama doesn't want to offend the madmen in Tehran. Geez.
  5. An increasingly hostile Russia. That's right; the bad old days of the Cold War are almost back among us. Personally, I'm rather glad about this one. It was an extremely powerful Soviet Union, and an equally powerful United States, which polarized the world between the two, forcing even nutjobs like Iran and North Korea to line up and obey their freakin orders lest WWIII happen. And we've screwed Russia sore in the last decade. First, we promise billions in financial aid to rebuild after the collapse of the Soviet Union, and don't deliver a dime. Then we sign an agreement limiting NATO to it's original, pre-1991 size, and swear we won't ever admit any former Warsaw Pact members in, and we broke that one, letting in the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Poland, and we're negotiating with the Ukraine and Georgia right now. If Ukraine joins, that would put NATO forces within 500 miles of Moscow, less than a third the distance Hitler had to travel in 1941. And Russia is invaded by foreign powers roughly every thirty to seventy years, for the last two millennia, so you can understand why they are a little scared to have a military organization founded to defeat them that close to their capital, and in the heart of traditionally Russian lands. They've already moved nuclear capable bombers to Venezuela, and have said they plan on moving their Black Sea fleet to there as well, and have reactivated three of their ICBM regiments, all armed with nuclear missiles capable of hitting any target in the world. They've also announced their intention to attack and neutralize our missile systems in Poland, and are moving advanced missiles into Kaliningrad, on the Polish border to do just that. So Obama is going to have to deal with all that, and the likely change to the Russian constitution allowing Putin to return to the Presidents office in 2011, a man who could run rings around Obama politically, militarily and intellectually any day of the week, six sheets to the wind, and with half his brain surgically removed by a myopic rhesus monkey. How great is that?

Well, that's just a taste of the things to come from the Oval Office and the world. Next, my wrath turns on the California voters. I must give credit where credit is due; the people did show some wisdom in passing the parental notification law. It is absolutely ridiculous that a teenager who cannot even receive an Advil at school without the nurse calling mom and dad can leave school grounds, even be driven by the same nurse, to a Planned Parenthood office and have an abortion without the parents being notified. This is not a moral question people, this is a legal one, and that kid isn't of majority, so they can't legally make those kinds of decisions yet. The parents have to be in on it on every other matter, this is no different.

But the voters made a HUGE mistake with Prop 8. First off, it was unconstitutional, and violated the 14th amendment, but you can read my last blog for that argument. Now, the US Supreme Court has said it will hear the case, and they can really only decide two ways. Either Same Sex Civil Unions are a matter of States Rights, and thus Same Sex Civil Unions must be illegal in Massachusetts and Connecticut because the voters banned them there until the courts legalized it, and the ban will stay in place in the majority of states, or Same Sex Civil Unions are a guaranteed federal right recognized under the 14th amendment, and they become the law of the entire country, instantly. Great job, Focus on the Family and you Mormons, you just gave the Same Sex crowd exactly what they wanted, their day in court, which they've won every challenge so far, and will make Same Sex Civil Unions the law of the entire country, even the areas that supposedly banned it. Awesome planning there! Because the Supreme Court will have to rule in favor of Civil Unions, because the precedent exists in every other instance of the right going to court and the 14th amendment is as clear as the vacuum of space. Wonderful job. *sarcastic clapping* Not to mention, your little homophobic, near-sighted crusade will cost the taxpayers millions we can't afford. AND you just helped solidify the idea of the supremacy of the Federal government and the impotence of the States. Nice job. I have a suggestion. Next time you try and legislate morality, take these simple steps. One, nod serenely and with awe as you pastor talks about how evil homosexuality is. Two, go home. Three, shut up and don't try to enforce that belief on people who don't believe in it. You can have as many anti-gay pride parades as you want. You can produce as many claymation shows on TBN as you can get funding for showing all homosexuals to be deviant child molesting freaks as you want. You can preach the evils of man on man, or woman on woman sex as you want at any church, street corner, public place as you can get listeners at. But when it comes to using the coercive power of a secular government to enforce your moral beliefs on a non-believing demographic, you have stepped outside your rights, and have no authority. Just as man cannot pass a law forcing other men to be free, man cannot pass a law that takes away the freedoms of others for activities which cannot and should not be criminal.

Well, this blog has gone on long enough. Hope you enjoyed this months rant!
