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!

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?

So, the new way to "honor" the troops is by avoiding them? We are supposed to buy the lie that the "Messiah" has so much respect for the troops that, instead of visiting the wounded in hospitals, he exercised his freedom to exercise?

Is there really a world where that twisted, convoluted, opaque thinking makes sense? No, they just tell bigger ones all the time cause they know the "disciples" of Bary will swallow anything he throws their way.

Kind of reminds me of some of the friends of Bill Clinton. They would swallow any lie and some would even...oops!

I am well past sick of hearing the Democrats talk about Hilary's "experience"! Exactly what "experience" are they talking about? They just keep saying experience" like it's some sort of magic word that will give them what they want. No one will exactly say what that "experience" is. Silly people.

They think the fact that she has spent the last thirty years or so servicing Bill Clinton qualifies her for the presidency? If that's the case, there are probably fifty women who qualify to be president. It seems the Democrats idea of "experience"
differs from that of the Republicans.

What do Hillary Clinton and Robby the Robot have in common? Both are monotones.

Remember in "Lost in Space" how Robot's excitedness was expressed by his simply getting louder? The only difference between "Good morning, Will Robinson" and "Danger, Will Robinson" was the volume.

Listen to Hillary in her speeches. She will drone on and on repeatedly hitting the same pitch making vain attempts at emphases by simply adding more decibels.
She persists with that effected, vapid, condescending tone of hers. She should just go ahead and scrape her nails on a chalkboard and get it over with. It would be about the same.

Granted, Ronald Reagan and Bill Clinton were/are both excellent speakers. They're style was/is natural and they both came across, like them or not, as relaxed and affable.

You'd think bill could help her with a few speaking lessons. I suppose even he can't make a silk purse out of a sow's ear.
