Nov. 30, 2005 There are so many things that really disgust me. “Celebrities,” the IRS, reality TV, crying babies, and politicians are a few. So much so, that against my better instincts, I’ll occasionally spout off about it. But never do I fool myself that my complaints will matter. Nor that others who appreciate those things will change their opinion once I’ve enlightened them. Heck, my own wife and daughters are obsessed with anyone remotely associated with ‘celebrity’ and they believe reality TV is real. I’m ordered to leave the room if I mutter anything less than glowing approval of their drooling, laconic stare at the TV. Yet, almost all of the time, I am able to ignore these irritants. How? Because I know they will soon pass. Hollywood discards celebrities as quickly as they’re manufactured and reality TV is already sucking its last gasps. Crying babies will absolutely grow up and exchange their high-pitched screams for some other, hopefully quieter, mode of complaint - and honestly, they don’t really know better any way. The IRS? Well, they’re not going away anytime soon, but my anger at them passes like a satisfying bowel movement – on regular daily basis. So, what is it about half of America that they can’t quit complaining about President Bush? The man is a lame duck! His party is fractured and there is no chance the conservative agenda predicted after the ’04 election will ever get railroaded through Congress. Dang, it almost seems like he’s even quit trying to have an agenda. Other than keeping his promise to the Iraqis, the guy is pretty much minding his own business. I think this is just another example of the mad-dog liberals being ignorantly distracted instead of exercising astute political strategy. Don’t get me wrong, the strategy has succeeded in lowering the President’s approval rating significantly, but if they were astute, they would’ve done this back in ’03. Now, instead of focusing their attacks against the potential Republican nominees for the ’06 and ’08 elections, they’re wasting a lot of good energy accomplishing nothing. Dang, the Republicans are just good at politics. It really is a tremendously unfair competition. By the time ’06 comes around, the American public (the U-K public came to this conclusion months ago) will be sooooo tired of their pitiful whining that the Republicans, under new leadership, will look great again. But have no doubt, it is the American Public that will suffer. The Republicans have solid ideas for our country that may not sound nice, but they would work – save for their own corruption and the mass media’s bias. On the other hand, the Democrats have loony ideas that sound wonderful, Wizard of Oz wonderful, but they’ll never work because of the human race’s corruption – too many people are simply too weak, jealous, lazy, corrupt, evil, and stupid. I’m sorry, that’s just the truth. Poor people are not going to become self sufficient if you shower them in tax dollars - most are too stupid and lazy, and that money will be swindled from them like candy from a baby by the corrupt and evil among us. I’m always amazed that liberals and secularists will loudly support the concept of evolution being the only valid discussion in our schools – yet they fight its application in our society. Instead, they want to kill the strong, resourceful, and ambitious among us, and use their assets to promote welfare moms with ten kids and build a huge Education system that has produced declining results since it first outgrew the one-room schoolhouse. Can you imagine how far society could progress if our assets were not wasted on the lazy and stupid in society? Those who waste their breath bashing a lame duck, do-nothing President when their real enemy is quietly conserving its strength for the important battles, would be the first to go. ------------ About the author Tom Pain: Just an American boy with so much common sense, it hurts.
