Its Friday!! Today I am going to post a few times since I have the whole day off with nothing to do. The first thing I want to mention is the whole "blood for oil" mantra that the war activists love to chant. Since Iraq has been liberated and Iraqi oil put under Iraqi control, does anyone know what has happened to gas prices? If you said, "they have gone up" you would be 100% correct. Iraq's slow crawl towards democracy has made its totalitarian neighbors a little nervous about their future as oil producing dictators who keep the profits for themselves while starving their citizenry. If their own people rise up and demand democracy, how will they pay for gold toilets? In response to the American led effort in Iraq, OPEC has cut production and sent gas prices rocketing upward in an effort to somehow strike back at America.
The point I am valiantly trying to make here is that since this has become evident, I dont hear the blood for oil screams anymore. In fashionable lefty circles, the complaints and placards have changed to a dizzying combination of different complaints and slogans. So it would seem to me that these protesters had no real deep seeded concern over American servicemen and women spilling blood to get oil. They really just wanted something to bitch about and to try and embarrass W.
I am not surprised at this turn of events, but rather saddened by the lengths people will go to protest something they have no clue about. Its a poorly kept secret that many activist organizations pay students and others to come to their protests, even distributing pre-made signs and placards. These people, in my opinion, really just like to complain about stuff. There may be a core group of people who feel strongly about an issue, but I bet the great percentage of people who attend rallies dont care one way or another about what is going on. They are likely there for pot or to meet chicks. It is their right to protest and everything, it just kind of sticks in my craw is all. I saw an episode of the Simpsons once that had people in front of the White House holding signs saying, "Everything is fine!". That really cracked me up and I think if I ever get the chance to go to Washington, I am going to do that.
I apologize for the rambling, this whole deal seems to be going nowhere. However, I think I will press on regardless, just to see what happens.
I still think its funny that the Democrats have "given up blood" for oil in favor of "lower our gas prices". Dont most of these granola eaters want higher gas prices so they can make everyone ride bikes and drive electric cars? I think this is as clear an indication as any that they just out and out hate George W. on a personal rather than a politcal level. Everything he does is criticized, even if it meets that they have to contradict earlier statements. How can you hate someone so much that you are willing to make yourself look like a flip flopping ass to do so? Its really beyond me. To top it all off, the alternative, John Kerry has said very little in the way of what he would do or would have done differently. Most of the things he says are right in step with the Republican administrations plans. The only two differences I can see on the surface is him repealing tax cuts for the wealthy and getting more chummy with the Europeans. Strange things are afoot in America these days.
I think this next week I am going to try and have a day where I go through some of the reasons why Dems and lefties hate W. I am pretty sure that its a case of penis envy, as in W has a big set of marbles and it scares the hell out of these purse toting pansies. (Note to you lovely ladies who may or may not read this, I think purses are an excellent accessory that really make your eyes look pretty. They are just not appropriate attire when dealing with terrorists ya know. Way too fem). More on this later.
Anyways, just a quick joke to end with.
A man and woman are out on their first date when the woman leans over and says, "You know, I am bi-sexual" The man is shocked but intrigued, and says in reply. "Tell me more" to which the woman replies, "You know, bi-sexual. You buy me things, and I get sexual!!"
I'm out.
