We continually tax cigarettes. We're going to tax soda. We're going to tax fast food. We'll probably tax junk food. Why? Because making sure you're healthy is important to the good of society, whether you want to live a certain lifestyle or not.
You'll soon have mandatory healthcare coverage through the government. For those of you in South Chicago, mandatory means whether you want it or not.
Ask any liberal and they'll tell you how important it is to implement these policies.
What we cannot do, however, is restrict abortion. Because the government has no right to make decisions regarding womens' bodies.

The Great Appeaser
I was gone for the weekend and wasn't anywhere near a computer while gone. Apparently, I missed quite a bit of $#*%.
It's almost not worth playing the,"If Bush had done that," game with the left because that's who they are and that's what they do: they can't exist without double standards. But if Bush had taken a presidential motorcade to get ice cream with his girls while Iran was erupting and young girls were being shot in the streets, lefties would have raised unholy hell.
But remember, kids, we don't want to impose our ideals on any country. Especially not when a country has so many of its citizens crying out for freedom and democracy. Not when that country poses a grave threat to the security of its neighbors and the security of our own country, and seeing a change in regimes could only be beneficial to the ideas of security and peace. No, no, no, you can't impose your ideals on them, especially not when the matter at hand is whether to get sprinkles or hot fudge on your dessert.
If I ever have to listen to someone spout off about W. and "The Pet Goat" after this, they're going to be eating their soup through a straw.
Also, our wise, benevolent Supreme Leader apparently also addressed fathers this weekend on the kinds of fathers they should be. Pretty smug advice coming from someone who views children as choices or "mistakes". I thought this was a good response to Barry's heartfelt admonishment.
So in our honor of our all-knowing, all-feeling Ruler, I came up with this little ditty. All due apologies to the Platters and the real version of this tune, which is one of the all-time greats.
Oh yes, I’m the great appeaser
Making sure I say the right things
Carefully chosen words
Apologies will be heard
Til my praises are all that they sing
Oh yes, I’m the great appeaser
Making sure not to upset the cart
Won’t take a stand against Iran
I’ve made waffling into an art
Too real are my delusions of self grandeur
Too real that I want to be crowned king of the world
Oh yes, I’m the great appeaser
Looking at others with my nose in the air
I’ll do what I can to offend allies
And with enemies I’ll kiss their derriere
Making sure America’s fair
Too real are my delusions of self grandeur
Too real that I want to be crowned king of the world
Oh yes, I’m the great appeaser
Looking at others with my nose in the air
I’ll do what I can to offend allies
And with enemies I’ll kiss their derriere
Making sure America’s fair

A Rant on the Letterman Incident
Now that the Letterman/Palin Incident has finally, maybe been resolved (There are still people lining up protests to have Letterman fired, even though Palin accepted his apology), there are a couple of points I would like to make.
1) I think conservatives need to be careful about how they express outrage when somebody says something stupid. Letterman needed to have his feet held to the fire, or whatever the expression is, when the joke was made about Willow. Which it was, because of its setup, even if that wasn't the intention. But when the excuses were made that Letterman meant Bristol, "Oh, and that makes it better?" was a poor argument. Like it or not, she's the child of a public figure who is legally an adult. That makes her a legitimate target.
I'm not saying it's right to go after her, and I'm not excusing crude comments to be made about her, but it's the reality of the situation.
Further, I don't think it's such a hot idea to try to dictate what jokes people can and can't make about adults. Then you get into being politically correct, and conservatives are supposed to hate that. It's like this: we get cheesed when we're not allowed to criticize Democrats. So we try to keep liberals from attacking Republicans. Instead, the better angle would probably be to criticize liberals and tell them to stick it when they tell us we can't say certain things. Which brings me to my next point.
2) People tried to silence Letterman and missed a golden opportunity to teach moderates and undecideds a valuable lesson: liberalism doesn't exist without double standards.
People made the argument, "Well, if a comedian said those things about the Obama girls, there'd be hell to pay!" It's true, but why talk hypotheticals when there's plenty of evidence to point to that shows the left's hypocrisy?
For example, I have a liberal friend who posted this to her Facebook. Some of her comrades joined in her outrage.
But did she make a peep about Letterman? No. Did she say anything when Playboy published the rape article about conservative women recently? Nope. Did she offer anything on what's happened to Carrie Prejean? Only silence. But make a joke about Queen Obama, and the alarms sound!
Step one is to point out supposedly liberal causes, such as tolerance and equality, and then use these exhibits to demonstrate liberals only care about them when it comes to other liberals. Step two is to say Rusty DePass was only making a joke. It's humor, you can't hold him accountable to it. When someone calls b.s., then you point out Letterman's first excuse, Jamie Foxx's excuse, anything Bill Maher would say if he had anything remotely resembling a conscience, etc.
Sure it's a b.s. excuse. Look who's always spouting it!
Conservatives need to quit lowering themselves to liberal "standards" by trying to play their games. You don't promote freedom by telling people what they can't say. You can't fight the left's fire with fire without burning yourself. Liberals are wily that way. Instead, it's better to point out their hypocrisy, win people to your side, and then hit them where it hurts the most: the ballot box.
As far as Letterman, like I said: if you're making jokes about minors or advocating rape, then you deserve to have your butt handed to you on it. But when he calls someone a slut, don't try to shut him up. If he thinks that, he should have the freedom to say so. I should also exercise my freedom to call him an idiot, point out how tacky he is, and watch something else. If enough people do the latter, he'll either change or we won't have to put up with him anymore.

How the blog got its name
If you needed an example of bat sh** crazy, here you go:
I took a look at a video that was highlighted on a site I frequent. The video is here
The comments, of course, were full of rage. One person said, and I quote, "And, using innocent kids to promote that kind of small-minded bigotry, you pathetic, stupid, ridiculous idiots. You should be ashamed of yourself."
Note that it's idiots, plural, but yourself, singular. But I digress.
So I responded with, and I quote: "Typical. Anyone with a different opinion than yours is a bigoted, pathetic, stupid, ridiculous idiot. Thanks for reminding us about tolerance."
Pointed, yes. Rude? Not particularly.
I got the following response: "You're a bigoted, pathetic, stupid, ridiculous idiot ______. Kill yourself."
While I'll give them credit for brevity, I think they proved my point.

Catching Up
I haven't posted in awhile, so let me get straight to some things that deserve commentary:
We had tornadoes in Oklahoma yesterday. One tornado in southern Oklahoma left casualties. The governor's declared a state of emergency (legitimately this time, as opposed to when he declared an emergency following Katrina, since evacuees were coming into Oklahoma). Of course, there's been extensive property damage. I've yet to hear of the President declaring an emergency or planning a visit to the state. As far as I know, FEMA's not here. We can only assume the President hates white people.
By the way, I thought the news story earlier in the week about Obama having no plans to visit to Kentucky was telling. Again, multiple casualties by that storm. Some of those people still may not have electricity for all I know. I'm sure they'll have to pay for their own home repairs or let their own insurance take care of it. So where's the government?! Is the President too busy keeping his office "warm enough to grow flowers," and telling D.C. residents to quit whining about the snow because he's from Chicago and has seen real snow?
See, I told you he hated white people.
-------------
Hope! As in, "You better HOPE no one in your family gets sick!"
-------------
The Messiah looks for a doorknob on a White House window in the first few days of his presidency.
The One forgets to duck as he enters into a helicopter.

My Pledge
If you haven't heard, MySpace is asking people to join with a bunch of celebutards in making pledges about what they'll do during Obama's presidency to help him make the world a better place. You have pledges ranging from "I'll drink less bottled water," to "I'll quit giving people the middle finger." And I'm not even making jokes yet, those are actual pledges. I'd link to the stupid thing, but outside of my own ramblings I can't waste your time in good conscience. If you want to see it, you're on your own. Don't say I didn't warn you.
But in the spirit of bipartisanship and because the media and celebutards are telling us we all have to unite behind this president even though they'd all be threatening to move to Canada if an actual Republican would have won (you know, if the RNC had nominated a Republican), I'm doing my part and making my pledge.

- I pledge to accept my position as a victim and blame all of my problems on somebody else.
- I pledge to illustrate my self-righteousness by pointing out that anyone who disagrees with me is, in fact, an intolerant bigot.
- I pledge to enjoy life more by working less, both in time and effort, because it’s not fair that some people have more money than me. The president will get even with them.
- I pledge that I’ll be understanding and apologetic if someone shoots me or tries to blow me up, because maybe if we’re just nice to them and try to reason with them they’ll change.
- I pledge to wear bright colors every day to reflect the fact that everything’s going to be sunshine and rainbows from now on.
- I pledge to flush after every time I pee, because sometimes urine stinks and that’s just gross.
- I pledge to be patriotic and love my country now that it's cool.
- I pledge to be more generous by inviting loud-mouthed liberals to keep their change.
- I pledge to get behind our new president, because if we can’t come together and unite behind him how he can never lead us?
