The F*** You Files: The Latest BS from the Right

(Enormous Sigh)

Once again, the reactionary ignorant folks on the right have gotten their underpants in a wad about the President giving a televised speech to American students. Apparently he is going to give a horribly slanted speech about those damned Socialist ideas of "working hard" and "staying in school". Like that horrible Marxist President George H.W. Bush before him, he plans on triggering the ACLA/GLBT/ACORN/Al Qaeda/Communofacist hypnotic suggestion chip hidden deep in all of our children's brains.

To this I have to say:

ARE YOU OUT OF YOUR MINDS?

Do you honestly believe that Obama is going to get up there and suddenly start spouting passages from Das Kapital, or reading lines from the speeches of Stalin and Lenin? Do you think he will outlay his secret plan for using FEMA re-education camps to turn all of their parents into atheist vegetarian homosexual abortionists? Do you seriously believe he is going to get up there and say anything other than stuff I thought we all agreed on, like encouraging kids to do well in school and try hard?

Obviously our Educational system is in bad shape, because it spawned the likes of you. There is nothing wrong with the President making a speech that is addressed to the children of our nation. He is their president too, after all. Like the best time to reach adults is during primetime, it seems obvious the best time to reach students would be...wait for it....DURING SCHOOL. You know, when your kids are supposed to be there learning.

Why is it so hard for you to understand that Obama won, and won convincingly last November. Why is it also so damn hard for you people to understand that Obama is not some Manchurian Candidate, some secret Pinko plant meant to score a victory for the Soviet Union decades after it fell apart? Do you think we would have been up in arms about George W. giving a speech to children, despite the fact that us on the left were not fans of his? Of course not. Only the most clueless on the left would have babbled on about Bush trying to indoctrinate kids into a fundamentalist christian authoritarian police state. If I had kids, I would have no quibble with them listening to our President, whether I agreed or disagreed with him.

We are not your enemy, we wish no ill-will. Believe it or not, the vast majority of us on the left are not Communists either. Most of us find value in true conservative ideals of honoring tradition and pinching pennys. Although some of us can be as rigid and dogmatic as the most unswervable Dittohead, most of us see a value in other perspectives, in a belief that our way isn't the only way. Once you accept this fact, we will be glad to welcome you to the grownups table.

Now if you excuse me, I have a message to send to my progressive brethren.

More on that Republican Nuttiness about ACORN

My fellow readers, here is some more defense against the dark arts of Karl Rove and his Fox minions. Please use this, as well the link in my earlier post to defend against any Fox News bs that friends, co-workers, or relatives might blather.

They come at you with ACORN? Use the facts.
They come at you with Ayers? Use the facts (including mentioning G. Gordon Liddy).
They come at you with racist or OBUMMA IS A MUSLIN !!!1! crap? Do your best to keep from insulting them, and use the facts.

It is one thing if McCain was right on the issues. But he is not, and he knows it. The only way he can take this election is by spreading falsities about Senator Obama, by trying to rile up the low information Republicans and tamp down the enthusiasm of the Democratic supporters.

Don't let him and those who support him get away with this.

Republicans: Just Frigging Nuts

This picture is of a Republican in a stupid squirrel suit attacking Harry Smith. Apparently it is part of the Republican strategy to take down Obama. Not by offering solutions or fielding reasonable candidates, but by bitching about ACORN. What is ACORN, you ask?


Yes folks, apparently the Republicans, the party who pretty much stole the election in 2000, and likely stole some votes in Ohio in 2004, are complaining about Mickey Mouse being registered to vote. I'm sure that a few errant registrations, many of which were marked as fraudulent by ACORN, explains why Obama has a sizable lead on John McCain.

Why, On a day where the Dow dropped another 700+ points, do the Republicans just want to talk about ACORN and Ayers? Because they have no other strategies to play. The Democrats consistently beat them on issues, so its up to Silly Season to take the opponent down. They figure if they stomp their feet hard enough about NOBAMA the TERRURIST, maybe they can reach the magic number of 270.

Hopefully people aren't buying it, are finally getting wise to the stupidity of the GOP's game. Hopefully people realize that the Republicans have lost touch with reality, and that it is time for real change.

My idealistic side hopes that this is correct. But my side that sat through 2004 and watched Karl Rove and his minions tear down John Kerry still makes me worried. Fortunately, Barack Obama is a much better candidate than Senator Kerry.
