Just who do you think we are anyway?

Our politics having recently been called into question ..... twice. (we were accused of being Republicans)

And complaints regarding an overall lack of output, aside from the usual (some have said annoying ... you know who you are) glib commentary that frequently accompanies our compiling, having also been registered ..... now three times.

We will get up off of our dead ass, offer our thoughts, and ask you,

"Just who do you think we are anyway?"

In no particular order, we think:

Both of these wars are stupid.  They were poorly conceived and have been poorly executed from the very beginning.  When it is all said and done, all that will have been accomplished is a colossal waste of our nations wealth, which includes the lives and limbs of the best young people this country has to offer.  If we are unwilling to do what is necessary to win a war, we should simply get the hell out.

The idea of nation building is stupid.  The nation we need to be building is this one.  If we do a proper job of that, people will emulate us.

Spending good money defending Europe, Japan and South Korea is stupid.  They are perfectly capable of defending themselves if they so choose.  American troops in Brussels, Berlin, Okinawa, Seoul, or for that matter anywhere other than home, do not make us safer in any way.

Spending good money defending Arab despots is stupid.  We don't need their oil, we have coal and natural gas to go for a long, long, long ..... long time.  We like Israel a lot, and as much as it pains us, have to agree with Dick Morris.  We think there's a tidy profit to be had selling Isreal weaponry sufficient to fry damn near every Muslim on this earth.  We also think that the demise of The House of Saud, and Hosni Mubarek even if it resulted in militant Sunni theocracies would go a long way toward getting Muslim minds off of us and Israel as Sunnis would soon start eyeballing Shiites and vice versa.  Let them exercise their bloodlust on each other.

By the way, our energy policy is stupid.  Four out of every ten rows of planted corn goes toward the production of ethanol. People are going hungry all around the world while we waste food on the production of a way highly subsidized fuel we don't need.  Hitler ran damn near his entire economy while at war using gasified coal.  American employment would explode as a result of our converting our energy use away from crude oil to natural gas and gasified coal.  Cash flow to Arab and Persian dictatorships would decline dramatically ... hey hey.  Cash flow to fascist Russia would decline some as well ... hee hee.

With regards to "Global Warming" now called "Climate Change' as has been stated here many times ...

We have no manufacturing policy at all and desperately need one.

We don't give a rat's ass what you do in the privacy of your own home, and with regards to gay people in the military, as has also been stated here many times ...

We believe in a woman's right to keep her knees together.  There are at least a half a dozen ways to have sex where pregnancy is a physical impossibility.  We know what you're thinking here as we too were both stunned and delighted at this revelation, but it's true.  We also know that it ain't fair to women, but we're men and quite frankly don't care that much, besides there's not a damn thing we can do about it anyway, and ..... as has already been so elegantly stated, that decision was made "well above our pay grade".  Life begins at conception.

And since we're on the subject, our system of taxation is an abortion.  We tax work and saving while subsidizing consumption, and then wonder why the hell we're broke.

And finally we think that the best government is that which resides nearest your house.  The worst is that which lives the furthest away.  This is why the Federal Government is failing us so profoundly, and why international government is a chronic disaster.

So ............... just who do you think we are anyway?

And just so you know, nuts, morons, idiots and assholes have already been taken.
