Getting the Wrong People To Do The Right Things

Here's what Rove, and the other establishment asshole don't realize. There is now a huge contingent of naturally conservative people that don't give two hoots, and a holler if the Republicans "Take" the Senate (or the house, or the outhouse.)

They no longer think of the Republicans as "their" party. They watched Dubya, and the Bobsie Twins try to ram Amnesty down their throats. They listened to John McIdiot prattle on about "Global Warming, and watched Newt Gingrich sit on the couch with Nancy Pig, and do the same.

They woke up one morning and found that the Republicans, and Democrats had utterly destroyed the economy of their country in an imbicilic attempt to buy every vote available from every broke, drug-addicted, con artist that could lie on a housing application.

They watched the biggest crooks in the history of the country walk scot free from the biggest scam in three millenia of recorded history.

These people are sad that Olympia Snowe, and Susan Collins aren't running so they could vote them out along with Castle, Bennet, Murkowski, and any other high profile RINO asshole they can get their sights on.

Half of them are praying that John McCain gets beat. Many that live in Arizona will stay home.

I'm tellin ya, Bubba, these folks are Pissed!

Karl Rove is heartbroke cause his "team" won't get "Control" of the Senate. Those conservatives out there don't give a flyin flip if Rove's "team" gets control of the Senate. They kinda hope not.

They is Pissed, Bubba; and they want to "Break Something."

Socialism vs. Capitalism

Obama has returned to moralizing on greed. Of course the greed that offends Obama is private greed. Government greed is something not mentioned. Obama is offended that the private sector is greedy by taking up too many resources for health care. He wants to redistribute the resources from the greedy to the needy.

Obama and his supporters cite that too much of the economy is spent on health care. They never explain what is the right amount. If it is 16%, so what? Why not 30%? Is it better to buy goods we don't need from China than spending for something that keeps you healthier and helps you to live longer? Who is better to make that choice, the individual collective decisions of the private sector or the government and social engineers?

Always, the justification to take and redistribute wealth is that it was accumulated by greed.

This is nothing new for Obama. In his book, "Dreams for My Father," Page 293, Obama refers to The Rev. William Wright's "The Audacity of Hope" sermon.

Obama quotes:

"It is this world, a world where cruise ships throw away more food in a day than most residents of Port-au-Prince see in a year, where white folks’ greed runs a world in need, apartheid in one hemisphere, apathy in another hemisphere…That’s the world! On which hope sits!"

We will hear more and more about Obama's distaste for greed as justification for his policy of redistribution of wealth in his desperate attempt to force America to do what the majority does not want to do.
