Poor Lincoln’s Ghost
January 19th, 2009 at 10:31 am by Preston Taylor HolmesMy guess is that even Honest Abe’s ghost has thrown up in its mouth a little from this inaugural buttlicking that the media has been laying on the Obamessiah. All this fake unity reminds me of one of the stupider conversations I had recently with one of the big dogs at my company.
Out of the blue, this person said “Well, I didn’t vote for the guy, but I guess we all need to get behind him.” To which I said, “we’ll have to agree to disagree on that one.”
There is no moral or societal requirement for me to “get behind” this egomaniacal socialist. As long as he is attempting to enact the agenda which littered his pretty speeches like so much garbage, I will oppose him.
His economic agenda is going to enslave my kids and my grandkids with even more mountains of debt and insane tax rates – not to mention the potential (and intentional) destruction of the free market system that has provided real opportunity for generations of Americans who were willing to work.
His foreign policy agenda is going to result in more capitulation to third-world countries and the weakening of our military. At a time in history when the survival of the civilized world is threatened by islamic barbarians, this douchebag wants to turn our future and security over to the bureaucrats and rapists at the U.N. and do his best to appear neutral. This is unacceptable.
His social agenda is going to result in continued and expanded infanticide (sanitized neatly as “choice”), the further erosion of our freedoms – the First and Second Amendments will be the first to go, and the advancement of even more leftist social experimentation through the Federal courts. The fact is, this guy is a petty Chicago thug with serious Marxist leanings who is going to try and push the Obama/Ayers/Wright agenda through the system and he’s got the Old Media on his staff working to help him do it.
It’s no wonder he keeps trying to pay homage to Lincoln. Lincoln was almost as big on massive Federal dictatorship as the Obamessiah appears to be. Will of the people? States’ rights? No time for that when there progressive ideals to push down the throats of the proletariat.
So unless the Obamessiah does a complete turn-around and becomes a pro-American, pro-capitalist believer in small government who values the sanctity of human life and individual liberty, you won’t find any unity happy talk here. Well, maybe from Cranky, but not from me. (I keed, I keed, Cranky)

I thought this site was supposed to be funny, or at least, you know, be grounded with a little humor.
I fear you’ve lost perspective. Reading this is a bit like listening to Pete Seeger sing. You think, this guy’s supposed to be interesting, but you know, actually he’s not. Rants and diatribes are as boring as they are irrelevent.

There’s some truth to what you say, some guy. I am totally guilty of losing perspective. But, what the hell.
I haven’t had a since of humor until sometime in 2007, but maybe it will come back sometime in 2009. There’s always HOPE.

You haven’t lost perspective, you’ve just lost your sense of humor. Things are serious, and sometimes that’s not very entertaining. Honest heartfelt assessments of our lunatic political environment are often called “rants” and “diatribes” because the writer simply has strong and justifiable feelings. Sometimes one can’t laugh and brush it off.
Or I could just give you the advice I got last time I got serious and went on a “rant”: “Shut up and show us your tits.”
That’s basically what some guy was saying.
