The Conservative Son

Let me be, perhaps, the first to predict that in a year when President Obama kicks off his reelection campaign, the experience that he said didn't matter two years ago, will be his main argument for reelection. The experience that didn’t matter for John McCain will be the salient reason for reelection of our president.




Funny how a thing like that works. You don’t have to have any experience to set on the president’s cabinet, to be a Supreme Court Justice or even to be President of the most powerful nation on the planet.



You don’t have to have ever had a real job. You don’t have to have ever have hired or fired anyone. You don’t have to have ever had to have met a payroll. You don’t have to have ever have had any accomplishments whatsoever! You don’t have to have ever done anything more than get yourself elected to a couple of political offices. Still, none of that matters if you talk glibly about “hope and change.” Sheesh!



It reminds me of the ‘92 campaign, when military service and/or draft dodging didn’t matter because Bill Clinton was a Democrat. Yet, in 2000, when questions were raised about George Bush’s honorable service, suddenly it did matter since he is a Republican. Well, when the campaign commercials begin next year that talk about the “steady, experienced, proven leadership of Barack Obama,” that explosion you hear is not the balloon going up…it’s my head!

Yeah, I used to have some respect for Juan, but when I saw him acidly attack Sarah Palin on Hannity, again, as not being as smart as Obama, it was obvious there was one reason only. Funny, but he never mentions anything Obama ever did to prove himself to be so smart.

All Juan did was make fun of how pretty Palin is. That's what a sexist does, he writes off a woman because she is either too ugly or too pretty. I suppose that makes him a sexist too. Sheesh!

So, our vice-president got caught with his dirty foot in his mouth again. What else is new?

Alright, I admit Vice-President Cheney used the word in anger against a Congressman. I didn't approve then and I don't approve now. I won't attempt to make either appear more acceptable, but I can't help but wonder one thing.

Is this the way our vice-president talks normally. Does he use language like this habitually? Does he use it casually? Is this just a normal part of his vernacular? It appears to be.

For "Say It Ain't So" Joe to be so easily caught whispering such filthy language in the ear of our president, is just totally unnerving. He even said it with a smile.

Of course, this discussion begs another question. Is this the kind of language our president uses. Was this just a simple matter of course for him? Would he have not noticed it if it not been on national television and in front of an open microphone?

I guess it's true what I always say, if there are no words you won't use, then there's nothing you won't say. Wash your mouth out with soap, Joe!

I wonder why is it that any style or genre of music, (except, perhaps, Country & Western,) as long as it's performed by a "black artist," qualifies for the Soul Train or B.E.T. awards. Yet, if Clarence Thomas and Alan Keyes don't tow the line of the liberal agenda as laid out by the left, they say, "They aren't really black."

I wonder why is it that our president, who has as much white heritage as black, is automatically considered "African-American" simply because he has some measure of African blood. (Or, is it simply the way he looks?) Yet, Bill Clinton was called by many the "first black president" because he came from a broken home and always was just one step ahead of the law.

America has fought a civil war, endured decades of segregation, even apartheid, passed several Constitutional amendments and suffered more lynchings than I can stomach to contemplate. Was it all so simple-minded bigots can make asinine pronouncements like "He's black" or "He's white" in a disgusting attempt to frighten and manipulate the uninformed mob? Was it merely so the narrow-minded can foist upon the willingly ignorant masses their myopic schemes of control through fear, intimidation and political correctness? Has our country learned no more than that? Have we, as Americans, learned no more than that? So much for judging a man by the "content of his character."

When I see my president, I don't see a black man who has overcome generations of struggle against hate in our great,but imperfect, nation. No, I just see another white liberal trying to take my freedom away from me and my family.

So, I ask myself a question: Who is the real bigot here? The bigots are the ones who want to cram everyone into nice, neat little boxes that fit whatever particular political or social agenda they possess at any given moment. As I write this blog, I can't help but wonder, what they will do with Darius Rucker?

Well, I suppose I've got to get my two cents in on this topic. Everybody else has.

Does anyone believe that Barack Hussein Obama, huh, huh, huh, didn't get a big ego kick out of the children being taught to sing his praises? Does anyone really think that it's o.k. to change the words to traditional Gospel songs like, "Jesus Loves the Little Children," and "The Battle Hymn of the Republic" to sing praises to any politician?

Does anyone believe that if similar songs to George Bush were sung during his presidency, that the "main stream media" wouldn't have had a cow? Does anyone believe that if similar songs to Ronald Reagan were sung during his presidency, that the "main stream media" wouldn't have gone apoplectic?

I've seen the old thirties film of children singing praises to Hitler in Nazi Germany. Does anyone believe that there really is a difference?

I saw a car today with an "Obama-Biden 2008" sticker on the back. Just above and to the right of it was one of those Christian fish symbols.

I thought, "What an incongruity!" Then I thought, "I wonder how the driver would feel if Obama aborted her fish."

So, my president wants me to believe that the biggest power grab by the federal government in our nation's history is only temporary. Who does he think he's fooling?

I can hear it all now: "Mr. Caesar, you've suspended the Roman Senate and have taken upon yourself absolute dictatorial powers. Are we to believe it's all just temporary?"

"Oh, yes. Just until the crisis passes," replies Mr. Caesar. Alas, the crisis never seems to pass.

I can hear it all now: "Mr. Hitler, you've suspended the German Parliament and have taken upon yourself absolute dictatorial powers. Are we to believe it's all just temporary?"

"Oh, yes. Just until the crisis passes," replies Mr. Hitler. Alas, the crisis never seems to pass.

I can hear it all now: "Mr. Mao, you've overthrown the Chinese republic and have taken upon yourself absolute dictatorial powers. Are we to believe it's all just temporary?"

"Oh, yes. Just until the crisis passes," replies Mr. Mao. Alas, the crisis never seems to pass.

What despot has ever admitted that he wants all the power all the time? Almost without exception, they say, "It's only temporary." Well, we all know the story about the camel getting his nose into the tent.

Now, I am nowhere near calling our president, Caesar, Hitler or Mao. While Mr. Obama is sorely mistaken about many of his views, he will, I'm sure...I pray, never desire nor be able to rise to the diabolical level that those monsters have. Some of his beliefs and ideas, though, do border on and even surpass evil. (Such as his defense of partial birth abortion and allowing children who survive abortions to be left to die without medical care.)

The fact is, this is the normal progression of the loss of freedom. We usually just would rather not deal with life's complicated issues. The first tyrant who comes along and promises to make all the hard decisions for us, simplify our lives and care for us cradle to grave, sweeps us into slavery before we know what hits us. Yes, and he even does so by our own leave.

Now, I don't want to hear anyone say, "Not here!" Look around you. We wouldn't be the first nor the last nation to make that arrogant statement.

By the way, where are all those civil liberty banshees now? Where is all the fear and concern about the feds taking our rights from us? Don't they care about property rights? Don't they care about the right to spend our hard-earned cash as we see fit?

Those people are funny. As long as they can retain the "right" to kill their children in the womb, marry men to men and keep the name of God out of the public forum, they don't seem to care about much else. Yes, "funny" in a bizarre, twisted sort of self-centered way.

I finally came up with a nearly perfect metaphor for why so many in this prosaic nation are apparently fascinated with our new president. They see him as this beautiful and brilliant, articulate genius who will save the world, (or, at least, their version of the world,) but he is, in reality, no more than the tacky lamp stand in the holiday neo-classic "A Christmas Story."

If you've seen the movie, you'll recall, Darren McGavin, the "Old Man," is mesmerized by the "major award" he wins in a crazy trivia contest which is actually nothing more than some sort of throw away, unsaleable, good-for-nothing, gaudy, cheap, plastic piece of junk. He is fascinated simply because it somehow makes him feel special, although there's really nothing special about the lamp at all. Eerily, his children are also captivated by the "soft glow of electric sex gleaming in the window" of their home.

His witless neighbors stand stupidly in the street, dumbfounded by the dull light from the lifeless leg in the window. None seem to comprehend that it's not really art, nor that, in reality, it's just kind of sad.

His wife alone realizes that it's crap, but the "Old Man," because it makes him feel special in a bogus sort of way, cannot see the true nature of the lamp. To him it "glows" in the night and gives pseudo-illumination to his otherwise gloomy existence.

When the lamp finally comes crashing down, he sorrowfully and biterly hugs its pieces to his broken heart. He glares at his wife, blaming its destruction on only one who recognized its genuine lack of value, defiantly declaring, in pathetically mumbled clarity, "Not a finger!" He never understood the true worthlessness of his beloved lamp.

When the cheap lamp we call Obama finally comes crashing down, those who believe in him, who believe in his truly false "hope" and "change," won't, I believe, budge an inch. They'll blame everyone but him and themselves. They'll do this because to condemn the lamp is to condemn themselves; to condemn the lamp is to condemn their judgement; to condemn the lamp is to condemn their dreams of what they feel this country should be. If they ever admit the truth, they'll be admitting that they were fools all along and that their foundation is made up of so much cheap plastic.

Yet, I can't help but wonder, when that cheesy lamp slams to the ground and shatters into a thousand little pieces, who will be standing over its broken remains? Will that one have been responsible for pushing it over? Will it be another, perhaps worse, megalomaniac who will self-centeredly taking that prime opportunity to wreck the world for his own aggrandizement? Who will it be? Hopefully, it will simply fall over under its own weight.

I don't know, but I can hardly wait to hear the crash! I only pray that those of us who recognize the difference between art and junk and right and wrong don't come crashing down with it.

Stevie Wonder is one of the biggest bigots in the wold!

He was on American Idol the other night doing a medley of his hits, which are numerous, when he started singing some song about love, peace, hope or other such malarkey. I didn't recognize it as one of his "hits." In the middle of the song, he suddenly blurted out, "I love you, Barack Obama!"

Now, why would he do such a thing? (Did someone tell him the President was in the audience? How would he have known any different?) I've never seen him on t.v. lots of times and he's never acted this way before?

I imagine he voted for him and is excited about him and by him. Still, why is he so excited and why did he vote for him?

Apparently, he, like so many Americans, is thrilled to have a black president. The problem is, how does Stevie know that Bary is black? Sheesh! How does Stevie even know that he is black? Someone must have told him.

For all Stevie knows, both he and Barry are white, Asian, Greek or whatever else. Stevie has been blind since birth and doesn't even know what black is.

In my never to be humble opinion, this is simple prejudice. Here's a man to whom color of skin should be totally meaningless. Yet, he voted for and is excited by a guy that someone told him is black. How could Stevie even know that he's not being lied to?

Other than just the fact that the entire affair was completely silly, it was a testimony to the trifling nature of the Hollywood elite and all other such liberal ignoramuses. They see themselves as so hip and current and just too cool for school and their prejudice and bigotry is painfully evident to everyone in the real world, but, not surprisingly, not to themselves.

I can't imagine a singer shouting out right in the middle of a musical number, "I love you, George Bush!" No doubt, he would've been the butt of a hundred jokes and skits on late night television. Nope, no hypocrisy there.

The president's administration and their relationship with the voter seems to be very similar to the Vols new head football coach and his relationship with the fans.

Obama condemned the previous administration and promised us the moon and the stars. Now, he is asking for patience and saying things will only get worse before they get better. He says things are worse than he knew.

The Tennessee athletic program ran off the best active coach in college football and hired some unknown, no record, what's-his-name. Now, they tell us to be patient and give him a chance.

So, the new president wants now to lower our expectations and so does Tennessee's new coach. I say, the heck with that! It's time to put up or shut up.

Yes, the witless, self-absorbed, ingrate, "I could do a better job" fans said, "Off with his head!" They wanted Fulmer out of there!

So many, though not as many as the drive-by media claimed, said, "Impeach Bush! He's a terrible president."

As for me, I will settle for nothing less from our new coach than a National Championship this year! They got rid of a great coach for some reason and it must be for a championship.

As for me, I will settle for nothing less from our new president than full employment, zero inflation and world peace. They hired this new president with the promise of immediate and complete fulfilment and I'll settle for nothing less.

I don't know if anyone has asked yet, so I will. Does anyone suppose there'll be any "bimbo eruptions" during the Obama presidency?

Now, I'm not making any accusations and I haven't heard any rumors. Still, it seems to be a common thing with these hot-shot, hot blooded, egotistical Democrats to continue sowing their wild oats all the way into the White House.

After all, he said in his book that the Constitution is a "living document" subject to interpretation in the context of modern times. I wonder, does he feel the same way about his marriage certificate?

Anyway, I certainly hope not. This guy will have enough problems as it is.

You have got to be kidding me! What is the deal with our president-elect running around with his shirt off in front of the cameras?

Does anyone believe that this wasn't staged? If you do, well, I've got some very nice ocean front property in Arizona for sale. How about the Golden Gate Bridge?

Is it possible to be more arrogant? I suppose so, but you'd have to really, really try. This guy makes Narcissus seem downright humble.

Besides, does this guy shave his chest or does he just naturally not have any hair on it? Sheesh!

Yeah, the talking-heads all seem to want to brag on what good shape he's in. I suppose he should be considering he'd rather play basketball than visit our wounded troops.

Why does Barack Obama not want to let America see his birth certificate? Why doesn't he shut up all the nay-sayers by simply letting the rest of us have a peak at the document in question?

Easy...

He's a bastard. Perhaps, even the man he claims as his father, is not. Who knows?

I certainly don't mean this as an insult. It's just a theory of mine that I am more and more convinced carries some weight.

Whatever the case, it's not his fault. There's no such thing as an illegitimate child...just illegitimate parents.

Many children today are from unwed couples. Illegitimacy doesn't bear the stain that it once did.

Most of us wouldn't have to search very far in our ancestry to find a bastard or two. We should just be thankful that we are here, however we got here.

So, Mr. Obama, just come clean and admit the truth. You'll feel better and your life will be much simpler.

Besides, think of the many children and adults out there who would be destigmatized by such a revelation. Honesty is truly, the best policy.
