Lessons I Learned From A Drunk Republican

I volunteered to help sign up citizens to vote last weekend behind a line of ironing boards acting as a portable table at the Union Street festival. As you could imagine, signing up Republicans in San Francisco would be met with resistance by the liberal elitists.

While there, I was accused of being a war monger, challenged by several liberals and even accused of wanting to "Lynch" little old ladies in the bay area. Needless to say, I had a blast. Call me crazy, but I rather enjoy the tension and confrontations.

With San Francisco being so one sided, it is nice to blast their single minded world view with a hefty dose of Conservatism. The poor close minded fools.

The day started to wind down with the festival and some people had already had a bit too much to drink. This included a middle aged Jewish Republican who decided to spend the next half hour talking about how disgraceful our showing (IE our shanty of a sign up desk made up of ironing boards) was.

He would slur, "Is thish the besht you republicans can get?! What are ya' even tryin' to do? Thish is pathetic!" The insults kept coming. And for some parts, I sympathized with him. The GOP after all has been shooting itself in the foot for over a decade now and the conservative base is weary of the GOP's waning from its core beliefs.

He asked what it was I hoped to accomplish behind the shabby table. I told him, "As much as I can." He laughed and told me it was pointless. A man scorned by his own party. It's not like I didn't relate. Here we have a lame excuse for a candidate who is almost as liberal as his opponents running under the Republican banner, continuing the dreadful course to liberalism, country club conservatism and rejection of conservative values.

I watched him whine and eventually he left. But it was his actions I learned from that day. Or rather his lack of action. Normally it would be a fight against the left and the Democrat party, but now and in the dark days ahead, it will be against the Democrats and the usurpers trying to destroy conservatism itself from within our own Republican Party.

Despite the grim task ahead, I am emboldened by great men like George Washington, Thomas Edison, Abraham Lincoln, George S Patton and Ronald Reagan, just to name a few, who went against even greater odds and emerged victorious.

I have made my decision to fight, ironing boards and all.

Hail Obama! Take your pick, Obamists or Obamites

Rarely can you find such fanaticism nowadays that isn't tied to religion or fascism. Obama is these poor souls savior. Blind followers who are devoted to, "change", even if they do not know exactly how. But far be it for us to even dare to ask how from the Mocha Messiah.

Often times in hardships, or at least perceived hardships, the most radical of people often find themselves in positions of power when they exploit the emotions of the troubled masses. Adolf Hitler, Chairman Mao, Joseph Stalin and Fidel Castro are only a few dictators who come into mind when the going gets rough.

Well, if Obama wins, it will partially be our fault. Bush has been a poor example of true conservative leadership and has damaged the image of the party. Over the last eight years, Bush has been on the lips of the ivory tower pinheads preaching down to the impressionable youth who seek higher education and instead receive political re-education. The media and entertainment industry was an excellent propaganda machine and still is as they praise Obama night and day.

Obama in some ways has my respect as a true example of propaganda at its worst. The unstoppable combination of secrecy, charm and danger. But much like the Ron Paul fanatics, anything bad about his past is instantly turned into a conspiracy theory cooked up by everyone from Oil companies to right wingers.

Heck, why not just let Obama avoid paying taxes. He's practically a religion. My friend is an rabid Obama supporter. He is constantly trying to get me to vote for Obama because of my disgust with McCain. Now, I may want to deport McCain to Mexico and revoke his citizenship, but it's not like I like Obama any better.

The difference between people like me and Obamists, is that I know that my candidates are human, they are corruptible and sometimes down right sleazy. In fact, that is why I am conservative. To keep government small so that when sleaze-bags do manage to get into office, the damage they can do is severely lessened. Unlike the liberals who see government as the end all, be all, solution to the problems of the world. So when I see the wonder in their pot reddened eyes, clasping their hearts for their savior, Barack Hussein Obama, it almost breaks my heart.

One thing I do take away from his popularity is that our country is in distress. Only through extreme fear, poverty or dissatisfaction can people like Obama thrive.
