The Most Important Men In Politics Today

htNo, it ain't Obama or McCain or Dubya.

The MOST IMPORTANT man in politics today is:

Stephen Colbert.

(And, you had best get his name right. It is not Stephen Col-burt--like in Bert and Ernie. It's Stephen Col-bear as in Fozzie the Bear.)

But, this guy is no Sesame Street wanna be.

He's the real deal in politics.

He gets it.

He knows that politics is just a freaking joke.

And, he handles it better than anybody else.

He's the only man who wanted to be on both the democratic and the republican ticket. But, they refunded his money, and wouldn't let him do it.

He's probably happy about that, because he couldn't afford the pay cut.

But, being that he truly gets the truth about politics and politicians being the greatest joke of all time, probably made him the most qualified of all the candidates to be the President.

From his "shedding tears" at the announcement of Obama being declared President, to summing up and making fun of his guest's comments and pointing out how ridiculous they are, HE IS THE MASTER of ALL THINGS political.

The next most important man in politics is Michael Savage.

Now, he could have been at the top. But, he had this moment when he demanded that we all had to vote for Bush to stop John Kerry from ruining America, and now he does nothing but decry how stupid Bush is (which I strongly suspected in the last election, already.)

But, Michael talks about "language, borders, and culture." If you are in America, be American. If you want to be a liberal whacko ( because liberalism is a disease, according to him, and he's only half right. Ultra-conservatism is also a disease.) then he doesn't want you on his show, and will gun you down before you even unhook the clasp from your holster.

Michael understands the stupidity of what's going on in Washington. But, occasionally, he goes off the deep end. And, when he does, he's not as funny as Stephen Colbert.

The next most important man in politics is Ron Paul. Ron's got all the right ideas, but he just can't get people to listen to the truth. He will tell you there should be NO special funding for anything that government shouldn't provide. You shouldn't fund the radio, art, or even UNICEF, (although he might budge on UNICEF).

It isn't a question, in my mind, of whether or not we should let the government fund pornographic works. It's a question of whether we should let them fund any art. If you are not good enough as an artist to get your works sold, then do you really belong in the art business.

Ron gets that government shouldn't be the ones running the country. The country should be the ones running the government.

Unfortunately, too many people are focused on security, instead of freedom. (If you don't get that concept, the more security you have, the less freedom you have. If Bush had his way, this would be the safest nation in the world, but you wouldn't have any freedom whatsoever.)

Speaking of important men in politics, we can't forget Dubya. But, not for the reason you think.
He's the reason you have Obama in the White House. He refused to free two border patrol agents who caug a "finally convicted" drug runner, while determining the punishment of "Scooter Libby" was too harsh, and commuting Scooter's sentence. He also defended the prosecutor who used a law that was intended for hardened criminals in prosecuting these two border patrol agents, because he was "friends" with the prosecutor, and knows that the prosecutor was a "fair man."

Yeah, sure he was, Dubya. And, oh, that letter in your e-mail from the chief minister of Nigeria really is true and he wants you to help him extricate $50 million from his homeland, and he'll share it with you.

He befriended the Prez of Mexico, Mr. Fox, who wants all of the undesirables to leave Mexico and be allowed to come to America. Now, let's see. We get their scum, and they keep their wealthy people, and we get WHAT in return. NOTHING. Yeah, great bargaining there. Remind me to never take you with me when I'm looking at used cars.

He botched the timing in the War in Iraq. (Yes, Hussein needed to be taken out, but not until Osama Bin Laden had been taken out first.) His appointment of Tom "tape all your doors shut with duct tape so that the anthrax can't get in, and oh, by the way, if you do, you will probably suffocate to death" Ridge, as the minister of Homeland Defense, was a joke. He'd have been better of putting in Clint Eastwood. At least he would look tough.

He eliminated most of his cabinet at the beginning of his second term, just because they might not agree with him.

So, of course, people had enough of his crap and confused McCain (who ain't all that shiny, either)
with Bush.

Honorable Mentions:

Jon Stewart from the Daily Show, not only for his brand of wit, but because he introduced Stephen Colbert to the world.

Rush Limbaugh, because he was the first to buck the trend. But, he still ain't got it close enough yet. He softened up too much in the last few years.

Hannity and Colmes: Together, they at least try to focus on both sides.

Warren Beatty: For stating that anybody that took what he said about politics seriously is nuts.

Notice I didn't put myself in that group. Yet.

That won't come until I release my fictional trilogy which will be known as "The Amarchy Series" which is short the American Monarchy series, but looks an awful lot like "anarchy" doesn't it? (Yep, clever, ain't I?)

When I write that series, you will see all the ideas from this blog come into what one man who read the first draft called "a heckuva read."

It will have the following in it:

the Mafia
Rednecks
Bikers
Native American Seers
a militant mercenary and his band of followers
politicians
a slut wife of a politician
scientists
ministers

and a few more surprises.

You will read a tale that will tell my vision of what could and probably should happen to all the politicians in Washington today and how the country will go through a true revolution.

I wonder if I can get Stephen Colbert to do a cameo.

Better yet, I wonder if I can get him to take one of the lead roles.

Won't know until then.

America, Be Prepared To Bend Over--

Tonight, America, you made the most massive blunder in ages.

You voted for more government by the government.

Not government by, of, and for the people.

Apparently Americans, especially those who are too young to not have fully developed brains, decided to try and take security over freedom.

And, you ended up costing all Americans everything.

The man you elected has deep connections to terrorists. But, McCain, being the pansy that he is, was afraid to harp on the truth, because he didn't want to be called racist.

Here's the facts.

Timothy McVeigh, who blew up the Murrah building in Oklahoma City was a terrorist.

He was trying to avenge the death of David Koresh.

Both of them were white.

So, now if I had hung out with them, which I wouldn't, because I think both of them were brain-dead whackjobs, would it be okay for me to call you a racist, because I'm white and I hung out with them.

Of course not.

Race had nothing to do with it.

The fact is this. If you hang with terrorists, if your church gives awards to a man who openly calls folks of white color "cracker", and your preacher of twenty years starts belittling America, and you weren't paying attention, then when Russia tells you they're going to send an A-Bomb your way, are you going to be too stupid to NOT have heard them.

The man you elected doesn't understand the lesson from "Atlas Shrugged." Tax the rich, and the rich will pass it on, and all you create is inflation.

The man you elected doesn't understand terrorists (or he's so sympathetic to them, he doesn't want to do anything about them), so when we pull out of Iraq, every single Muslim terrorist in the world will bring their terrorism to OUR doorstep. (Remember, the radical Muslims believe it is their duty to kill every single American male, because of our "corrupt" ways.)

Now, I don't know if the photo was doctored, but I saw a photo of this man with the senator from New Mexico and Hillary Clinton while they held their hands over their hearts, and he just stood there with his arms at his side.

If you're going to be the President of a country, shouldn't you at least follow its traditions?

The man you elected believes that gay marriage is okay. All right, most people ain't figured out that marriage is in the sight of God, and they just do it for the tax breaks, but to allow more people to abuse the tax system, based on what this country has continually fought against---

Yeah, I didn't like McCain or Palin either. And, I still think that in four years, it is time for REAL change. And, not by someone who just spouts it and manipulates by using Neuro-Linguistic programming tricks.

Let me give you another idea of REAL change.

How about, instead of this stupid political system where two people, neither of whom is qualified, and who use massive amounts of money to try and convince you they are right, let's do this:

Let's put everybody's name in a barrel that's qualified to be President.

In other words, they are at least 35.

They are not a convicted felon.

And, let's even include Naturalized Citizens. (And, not because the governator is one, but because overall, Naturalized Citizens know more about this country than YOU probably do.)

Now, stick everybody's name in that barrel, and spin it a thousand times.

Reach in, pull a name out.

Bingo.

You're the President for the next four years.

And, only for four years.

And, let's pick all our other elected officials that way.

Now, let's tell them this:

You either make this country or break this country. But, you do it based on logic and reason.

Can't do any worse than what the American public did last night?

Time For The Wealthy To Go On Strike?

If Obama gets in, (and I still ain't crazy about McCain or Palin), then it's time for the scenario played out in Atlas Shrugged to become a reality.

If you ain't read the 1000 plus page book of tiny print, then you are missing out. Yes, I know the moronic Satanists base their principles on Randian philosophy spouted by Ayn Rand, but just because the Catholics go into their church through the front door doesn't mean the Baptists have to crawl through the windows.

I'm going to spoil part of the plot for you, but you should still read it.

In the book, all the wealthy, movers, and shakers go on strike and disappear from the world.

The railroads turn into disarray, and people start falling apart.

And, all because of the belief, for the needs of the one, to him it is given.

And, that's what Obama is stating. He's going to redistribute wealth.

So, what happens.

Let me tell you.

When you start doing windfall profit taxes on oil companies, what do they do?

They shut down production, so they don't have any profits.

What does that do to the price of oil?

Shoots it through the roof.

You thought it was bad at $4 plus per gallon, if Obama gets in, see how you like $8 per gallon.

Oh, and do it all while paying for the sluff-offs, lazy, and worthless.

Billy Joel may have said, "You can pay Uncle Sam with the overtime; is that all you get for your money."

But, the new tune will be, "You can pay for other's welfare with your hard earned bucks; is that all you get from your gov'ment."

It's time for people to realize this one statement. (Say it with me)

I'm responsible for my actions, which determine how life turns out for me.

This crap of people being stupid and hoping that any candidate will "save this country," just ain't gonna happen.

The sooner you realize that, the sooner you can start to heal from the disappointment.

By the way, trust me on this one.

The rich DO NOT lose.

They find the loopholes, or they shut down production.

And, if you tax the rich, the rich will just pass it on in the form of higher costs to (you ain't figured this out, yet) YOU!

So, quit hoping on taxing the rich.

If you do that, you might get the mindset to become rich yourself.

Then, are you going to vote for some "say nothing, but confuse the people with manipulation" candidate like Obama.

I'll attack McCain later if by some miracle he gets into office.

And, if he does, he might have a heart attack, and then you can deal with "I've got to look good on Saturday Night Live" Palin.

The Truth About the Presidency (And You Can't Handle The Truth)

First of all, you need to understand that the President does not solve the problems.

You might believe that we need change, and that's why I'm writing you at this moment.

Oooh, stop! Take a look at that sentence above.

Does it sound familiar?

It ought to.

Because that's what Obama does when he talks. He uses phrases that are obviously true, and then adds a "because" and NOW, you have to believe him.

It's called conversational hypnotism, and it's what Obama engages in. He is trying to hypnotize you into believing that because he can spot the problems, he's therefore the person that can fix the problems.

Well, then, you'd best believe that I'm more qualified than him to spot problems, because you've already seen that I see them better than they do. 

So, should I be President?

Not going to happen.

My ex-wife would come out of the woodwork and lay down all the stupid stuff I did when I was first married, (yes, she did stupid things, too, but I'm man enough to let the past be the past. I don't know that she is). And, so because I made some stupid mistakes in the past, all the pundits would have you believe that I'm unqualified to run for office.

Which brings me back to my main point.

What exactly does the President do? How can the President create CHANGE?

All the President can do is spout his agenda, talk to congress, and try to influence them to change the laws.

Yes, the President is recognized as "the leader" of the free world. But, that doesn't mean that he is. (And, if you doubt that, then take a look at our current leader who changes the rules of the game, keeps border patrol guards locked in prison for trying to bust a marijuana trafficker, and threw out most of his first cabinet because they didn't agree with him.)

I've said it before; I'll say it again. 

We don't have any qualified leaders in this election, and Sarah Palin is the best of a bad bunch.

It's like I've told others, "If God had meant for us to vote, he'd give us qualified candidates."

But, that ain't gonna happen folks.

And, even if it does, it won't matter.

We don't need change.

We need to get back to the original constitution and the original Bill of Rights.

Yeah, I realize it's a good thing that women get the vote, now. 

(By the way, if you guessed that women were the last to get the right to vote, you'd be wrong. It was the Native American Indians who were the last group to get the right to vote.)

But, I often wonder if we should give the rights to people to vote who aren't paying taxes. Those who live off the government "entitlements," maybe they shouldn't get a say.

And, maybe Congress shouldn't be allowed to vote themselves a pay raise, either.

But, I digress.

The President, thanks to the Gulf Of Tonkin incident during the Vietnam "police action", the President was given more power to start war.

(By the way, war is usually over one of two things: either land or religion. We weren't trying to get either in Vietnam, which showed how stupid the politicians were when they decided that all the world would fall to Communism, if we didn't stop it there. Ho Chi Minh chose communism over democracy because he thought it was the better way to bring Vietnam around and unite his people. ALL of THEM were WRONG.)

The President does act as an ambassador to other foreign governments (I just hope they don't try to dance and beat the bongos like our current one, when they do that.)

But, the President has the power to sign into law things that are determined by the congress, which consists of the representatives and the senators.

The point is this: when Presidential candidates who don't state their position, other than that they recognize a problem as a problem, and use conversational hypnosis to try and gain office, you got to wonder just what kind of crap they'll pull when they're in office.

Hey, Carter, buck up. After this four year term, regardless of who wins, you will no longer be recognized as the worst President ever. (But, the current one is definitely giving it a run for the money.)

Let's Just Give You A Taste Of How To Solve Problems

Look, a lot of you are going to think that I'm some crazy, whacked out, druggo for stating this one.

But, I ain't touched marijuana in so long that I can't even by legally charged for it twice over.

Never did cocaine, heroin, meth, pcp, or any of that other "hard core" stuff. And, on top of that, I don't intend to ever start.

So, why then would I recommend that one of the laws we need to change is to legalize drugs.

Don't go anywhere until you read this whole column, and it will make sense to you.

Legalize all the street drugs--BUT, you have to have a few rules first.

#1: If you deal to a minor, you are executed. And I ain't talking any of that namby-pamby "wait for the governor to pardon you" crap. I'm talking about doing it like they do it in China. If you deal to a minor, you are taken out right there on the courthouse steps, dropped to your knees, bullet to the C-5 (right at the base of your skull), and executed. (And, I don't care if you charge the family for the cost of the bullet.)

#2: You don't get to use the "but I was on drugs" defense for any other crime that you commit. Now, that drugs ain't a crime, if you commit a crime, YOU DO THE TIME! No, ifs, ands, or buts about it. No, "but my daddy slept with me when I was a little girl" excuses. No "but my priest molested me" excuses. (Which, if they did, they Need To Do Their Time, too. In addition to the special hell that should be lined up for them when they die.)

#3: This is one of those RARE times that I recommend that "the government" be the distributing solution. Since the supply is now readily available to all those who are stupid enough to partake (See, I told you I wasn't defending them. They're still stupid if they want to do drugs, because they're too weak to create their own inner high.) the cost can come down. And, if the cost can come down, then it should be taxed at a 100% rate.

Let me give you an example. Let's say that marijuana was now roughly the price of a cigarette pack. Then a pack of marijuana cigarettes would be around five or six bucks. Well, then, you would charge an additional five or six bucks for tax. The cost of twenty marijuana cigarettes would be about $12.

Here's the LOGIC behind all this.

#1: We keep the drugs out of our kid's hands. Very few morons are going to want to die to deal to minors.

#2: Since the government can now sell it cheaper than the peddlers, there's no "turf wars" over drugs.

#3: We now don't have to waste time and expenses on fighting a "drug war" that can't seem to be won.

#4: We get back to holding people responsible for their actions.

#5: We get to have the government make money, which can help pay down the National Debt (which we'll tackle at another topic some day down the road.) instead of not making any money off a product that obviously sells.

#6: Those who need medical marijuana won't have to fight silly federal laws to get the help they need.

And, even if they never enacted this law, they still ought to look at people who need medical marijuana, like those who have glaucoma or multiple sclerosis or other medical needs, so they can get it.

But, do you think the morons in Washington, D.C. get that?

Nope.

Which reminds me:
God was missing for six days. Eventually, Michael, the Archangel, found him, resting on the seventh day.

He inquired of God, "Where have you been?"
God sighed a deep sigh of satisfaction, and proudly pointed downward through the clouds.

"Look, Michael. Look what I've made."

Archangel Michael looked puzzled, and said, "What is it?
"It's a planet," replied God, "and I've put Life on it. I'm going to call it Earth and it's going to be a great place of balance."

"Balance?" inquired Michael, still confused.

God explained, pointing to different parts of earth. "For example, Western Europe will be a place of great opportunity and wealth, while Eastern Europe is going to be poor.

Over there I've placed a continent of white people, and over there is a continent of black people.

"Balance in all things," God continued pointing to different countries.
"This one will be extremely hot, while this one will be very cold and covered in ice."

The Archangel, impressed by God's work, then pointed to a land area and said,

"What's that one?"

"Ah," said God, "That's Washington State, the most glorious place on earth.
"There are beautiful mountains, rivers and streams, lakes, forests, hills, plains, and coulees. The people from Washington State are going to be handsome, modest, intelligent, and humorous, and they are going to be found traveling the world.

They will be extremely sociable, hardworking, high achieving, and will be known throughout the world as diplomats and carriers of peace."

Michael gasped in wonder and admiration, but then proclaimed,
"What about balance, God? You said there would be balance."

God smiled, "Well, on the other side of the United States, there's this other Washington--"

So, How Did It All Get So Screwed Up?

Hi,

Last time, we briefly touched on the fact that most of the signers at the Declaration of Independence were merchants and veterans.

I think Shakespeare had the right idea when he said, "First, let's kill all the lawyers."

I'm not saying there ain't some good lawyers out there. If I ever messed up, I know I want Gerry Spence pouring out his "good ol' boy" soliloquy for me. 

But, the lawyers that get into politics, by and large, (remember not all lawyers are bad), are in it for POWER.

If you have to have POWER from a political office, then let me clue you in right freaking now!

(You don't have any power. It's kind of like if you have to ask somebody to respect you, then you ain't earned it.)

True Power does not come from the barrel of a gun, despite what old Commie Mao used to spout.

True Power comes from being an authority on the subject matter at hand. Or, it comes from having built relationships with others who accept that you will do what's right. 

But, even if you have THAT kind of power, then you are in the WRONG to use it against other people.

The only person you should use your POWER on is YOU.

Politicians ain't learned this yet. They think it's all about bringing home the PORK for their constituents so you can stay in POWER until they die.

Don't worry, I've got a way to end all that and level the playing field for everyone, and I'll let you know all about it in  a future RANT.

You have to remember that POWER corrupts, and absolute POWER corrupts absolutely. (Take our current Prez for instance when he wiped out all of his dissenters in the beginning of his second term. Take a look at the fact that he keeps two border patrol agents, who busted a drug dealer in jail, and then states that the prosecutor, who's his buddy, did the right thing. And, yet Scooter Libby, his Vice Prez's buddy gets pardoned immediately. And, you want to tell me that absolute power don't corrupt absolutely.)

So, the problem is that somewhere, POWER came into the equation. (It's kind of like the author of the famous song, "Hello, Muddah! Hello Faddah!" Allan Sherman wrote when he wrote the Rape of the American Puritan Ethic. (A.P.E.) He stated that people enjoyed intercourse, until they started thinking about it. Then when they started thinking about it, they screwed it up.)

So, we have to remember that Politicans are not necessarily about doing what's right. They're about doing what keeps them in office, and keeps them in POWER.

In a little over four years, you'll get a chance to rectify that. 

But, it won't happen if you keep being stupid and keep hoping that the politicians will save you.

Back To The Beginning!

Let's go back. Way Back. Way, Way Back.

When John Smith, et al., met Pocohantas, the colonists were struggling.

They wanted to get away from a government that wouldn't let them worship like they wanted.

So, they came here.

(And, the very first crop they raised that made them money and built this country, oddly enough was TOBACCO. But, just to show you how well these politicians remember their freaking roots, what are they doing, taxing the crap out of it, raising the price out of it, making laws against it, and trying to get everybody to quit it. In the meantime, let the booze freaking flow, because "it's good for your heart," despite the fact that nobody ever smoked themselves to death in one night, had one too many freaking cigarettes and blew through a red light, killing a family of four, or had one too many cigarettes and beat the crap out of his wife. Booze gets the benefits, but cigarettes is the "main problem." That's just to give you an idea how stupid this whole system is.)

In 1776, mostly merchants and soldiers got together and decided that Britain was taxing the crap out of them, and they decided to free themselves from King George the IV's rule. (Which oddly enough on July 4, 1776, George wrote in his journal that "nothing much of interest happened today.") So, they wrote the Declaration of Independence.

The main thing they were ticked off about, (which led to the Boston Tea Party, where all the taxed tea got tossed in the drink), was that they were being taxed in the colonies without proper representation.

Well, the same bloody thing is happening today right here in the U.S.A. Except, change the word "proper" to "competent." That whole stinking group doesn't have a clue about taxing us.

And, it's about to get even worse if Obama becomes Prez. He thinks that by taxing us more, and re-distributing the wealth, that'll solve the problems of this country.

But, here's the facts:

1) You can't treat everybody equally fair in any type of taxation government.

If you set up a "new colony," well somebody has to be paid to "protect the people." Others have to be paid to set up services. (Granted, these things are NEEDED, but as you'll see, it quickly gets out of control.) Then, people have to be paid to administer all this. 

Where does all that money come from.

YOU!

Now, what if you don't NEED protection?

Tough, you have to pay for it anyhow.

What if you don't NEED services?

Tough, you have to pay for it anyhow.

Well, that ain't fair.

It's like the freaking joke about the biker arguing the hotel bill. The manager kept telling him the towels, the soap, the phone, and all those things were there "in case he needed it." The biker said, "but I didn't use it." The manager wouldn't budge. So, the biker grabbed a piece of paper and wrote down a bill for $100 and presented it to the manager. The manager said, "What's that for?" The biker said, "For banging my ol' lady." The manager said, "But I never had sex with your woman." And, the biker said, "So, she was there if you needed to."

Even if the government refunds the money that they "took," they still couldn't give it all back, because the people they hired to handle the other matters put in their time, and would be entitled to keep it.

So, the best that any government that uses taxation can do is be "equally unfair" to everybody.

These politicians have lost sight of what was originally set up in the constitution, which we'll probably take a look at next, but you never know which way I'll go, because like Barry Sanders when he was open field running said, "Shoot, I don't even know where my feet are going to go next."
