For our friend Jane, we will do everything in our power to make sure Obama suffers at the ballot box for what he's doing to New York
If you are a regular reader here, you know that we hold perpetual loyalty not only to the people we support politically here on Earth, but the legion of angels we know in ethereal realms beyond all our collective comprehensions.
While raised Catholic, none of us here are religious by an stretch, truth be told because we’re all gay and after having so much hatred flung at us by “the religious” our entire lives (including to one of us whose church came damn near convincing him to kill himself, since that was preferable to having a crush on Jason Bateman…no joke), we just had enough. More power to you if you are religiious, and you can do as you please every Sunday morning. Us — well, we get up on Sundays too early to believe and volunteer to clean the bathrooms of people who have AIDS, that our friend Lionel used to clean as a volunteer before he died this summer from prostate cancer.
Lionel’s an angel now, with great big wings bigger than an eagle’s, and he’s off doing something else, while we finish what he started here below.
We don’t have to go to any church to know this (or listen to how terrible we are because our favorite in the Gyllenhaal family is decidedly not Maggie). We might not agree with all of you out there on your dogma, but man alive we sure believe in the power of transcendtal GOODNESS. That’s largely because we’ve known goodness in its purest form: people who have little or nothing but give all they have to near-strangers; people like Lionel who work grueling hours all week only to give up their weekends to GO CLEAN SICK PEOPLE’S APARTMENTS (for free!); people who give shelter to people who need it even if they don’t have extra room and are just scraping by themselves.
There is goodness all around us.
But, unfortunately, there indeed exists evil, too.
Alpha and Omega, zenith and nadir, yin and yang ad nausem.
For us, the people we’ve known and loved in this life pass on and reassemble in a Justice League on the cosmic other side. Strong, beautiful, sharp, dedicated, they’re rejuvinated in our memory as the best of the best in all that they were when we knew them. Lionel’s out there, somewhere, still taking care of the sick. Grandma Erma’s out there too, still traveling the world, doing little things to undermine repressive regimes and embolden their people to rise up against their oppressors. There are more family dogs running around as well, pushing kids out of the way of speeding cars and waking sleepy realtors up when they leave tea kettles burning on Viking ranges precariously close to burning condos down.
Our friend Jane, regrettably, is in that Justice League now, too, because of what Muslims did to her eight years ago, when she went to work one day in New York and never came home.
Jane was a foul-mouthed, hyper competitive, loud, boorish, spitfire of an Asian woman. She deliberately never learned to speak unaccented, grammatically correct English because, as she said, “Why should I? I minority. You give me stuff when I talk like this. I stay pushy ’cause you all so guilty for dumb s*** I get raises and promotions and I laught at you. Ha ha ha ha. You stupid, you liberals”. Jane was a piece of work, let us tell you. She’d get a new job and would call everyone she knew to laugh at them, because she was making so much money and they were struggling. But, quietly, if ever you were out and she knew you were looking for work and couldn’t really afford to chip in, she’d somehow manage to pay your share of the check, and would claim “that stupid waiter f****ed it up, so yours is free! Ha ha ha. They so stupid, so now you win!”.
Jane was a Hello, Kitty trapped inside an especially toothsome and potty-mouthed sabertooth.
It is a daily, unbearable tragedy she is not here on Earth today…because the stream of expletives she’d unleash upon the current administration in Washington over its decision to bring Khalid Sheik-Muhammad (KSM) to civilian trial in New York City would have honest to goodness peeled the paint off the White House. There would have been an immediate Secret Service alert issued for Dr. Utopia himself, with burly muscled black-suited men lifting him out of his chair (“Wheeeeee!”) and yanking him down the secret stairs to the protective bunker because Jane would have stormed from New York to Washington on her own steam, as fast as her tiny little legs could have carried her, like a robot sent from the future after one of the Connors.
We honestly, channeling Jane, are so furious at this moment that we can barely think straight.
Of all the terrible, America-hating, foolish, destructive things the current POTUS has done, this really does take the cake.
KSM should be tried in a military tribunal. And then he should be executed. Just as this Muslim executed our friend Jane. ”Sock it to him, you f***ers,” we hear her saying, even now.
Do you remember what the OJ and Michael Jackson trials were like…what circuses they were…because of the black community’s involvement in them?
Despite the evidence at hand, which we firmly believe should have led to convictions for both men, OJ and MJ successfully revved up the black community to ensure maximum disruption for YEARS while those trials played out. Los Angeles was an absolute nightmare during OJ’s. The community where Jackson was tried was completely shut down during his time in court. And the two of them did everything possible to get as much attention and exposure from their time on those platforms as possible.
Bringing KSM to New York for trial, in a courthouse that will be mere blocks from where Jane died, will be exponentially worse on all scales. Not only that, but it invites Muslims to pilgrimage to New York City to make the black community’s antics during the OJ and MJ trials looked reserved and professional by comparison.
New York City is going to be a living Hell for as long as that trial goes on.
And we GUARANTEE you a lunatic is going to slip through the jury vetting process and will make sure it’s a hung verdict. OJ and MJ got off, but we hope the Justice League’s at full force on the day a verdict is reached for KSM so that he’s not so lucky. It would be like New York getting attacked again if this mass-murdering Muslim terrorist is allowed to walk free.
Subjecting New York to all of this is truly the most vile thing Dr. Utopia has done so far.
All jokes aside, from the bottom of our hearts, in all seriousness, we can actually hear Jane screaming, cursing, and calling out for action on this from the other side today. This cannot sit unanswered, people. The White House cannot do this to New York — after already terrifying New Yorkers with that Air Farce One joyride a few months ago (that New Yorkers thought was another hijacked jet being chased by Air Force fighters) — and not suffer a political penalty for it.
No decent American can beleive this is a good decision.
Elections have consequences.
All of you who sat their butts home in 2008 because you didn’t think McCain was Republican enough, or who hated the Clintons so much you wanted to see Hillary lose the nomination, need to own up to what you did in 2008…because look who is president now because of that.
Hillary Clinton and John McCain would not have allowed this to happen.
Elections have consequences.
We can’t stop what Dr. Utopia has set in motion for New York, which now must suffer through 5-10 years of anguish with KSM being tried there…increased invitations for terror attacks included.
But, starting in 2010, we can make sure Dr. Utopia and his allies in Congress and the governorships suffer MIGHTILY for what these out of control Liberal zealots and Muslim apologists are doing.
We lost a good, foul-mouthed, plain-speaking, ball of fire friend on 9/11.
If you thought we were motivated to bring Dr. Utopia down at the ballot box before…well, you ain’t seen nothing yet, f****ers…as Jane would most indignantly say.
Anticipating Sarah Palin Going Rogue
If going rogue looks anything like this, we want it 24/7 for the next three years...right up to November 2012 and Inauguration Day 2013, baby.
Every time we think about Sarah Palin, we smile, because there’s just so much to like about the woman.
On this site, we advocated for her to be John McCain’s running mate starting in early June of 2008, around the time Hillary Clinton suspended (but, note, never ended) her presidential campaign. We’d love to say we were the firsts to back Palin (we weren’t), but we were still called crazy for, that early, saying she’d end up on the ticket.
What we liked about her back in June 2008 is what we still like about her now: the woman gets it. She’s a hockey mom, and for any of you who’ve ever picked up a stick and hit the ice, you know there’s just about nothing better in the whole world. We’ve got three words for you hosers:
Hockey. Moms. RULE.
One of the most exciting moments of our lives here was being woken up at 4am or so on the early morning of August 29th, 2009 by repeated calls to our cells from someone we knew at the top of the McCain campaign here in Chicago. We had been running DeMcCrats for McCain efforts with gusto since Hillary’s suspension in June, and had been advocating for Palin the majority of that time, too. When we finally woke up and took the call, we were told that a flight originating in Alaska had stopped in Phoenix and had a flight plan to some small airport near Dayton, Ohio. We were right. The VP pick was going to be Sarah Palin, and she’d be announced later that morning.
We had all of our talking points on Palin ready, and knew a good amount about her campaign for Governor in Alaska, where she ran as what she actually is, a hockey mom. Tough as nails with a servant’s heart and coupon-clipper’s attention to detail and budget. Her campaigns had malice toward no one, with frankness and honesty so lacking in just about any other politician we’d ever seen. We admired her for standing up to the entrenched bullies and con artists in the Alaska GOP, and respected her for extending her hand in friendship to all those she defeated once she was sworn in — because Sarah Palin’s smart enough to know that no good comes for constituents from politicians who wage endless political war to settle old grievances (are you listening, current administration in Washington?).
That Friday morning, we did a few local TV spots here in Chicago, where the reporters, all drunk on Kool-Aid, kept trying to hammer us for being Democrats excited about the Palin nomination. ”What do you know about her?,” they’d ask, soon regretting it, as we listed her experience on the Oil & Gas Commission and what she did to stop the insane Ted Stevens Memorial Bridge to Nowhere and Monument to Himself (which you can look up for yourself on the Internets, that series of pipes and tubes and dump trucks, in Stevens-speak). Living in Chicago, where we have massive boondoggle projects like Block 37 and the 2016 Olympics bid as well as an imperial mayor who makes egomaniacs like Stevens and our current president look like modest school girls, there has always been something about Palin’s budget cutting, fiscal responsibility, and hockey mom accountability that makes us stand up and CHEER.
We. Love. This. Woman.
And we told all of Chicago that, in our bright blue Democrats for Palin tees that we had ready for the occasion (as we thought, leading up to the announcement, there was at least an 80% chance we were right about Palin being Mac’s VP). The reporters here insisted the McCain camp astroturfed us, but to be perfectly honest, the McCain camp never led with much of anything in that campaign. We had to do all heavy lifting on our own…we had to go out and pull stunts and get attention for McCain here in Chicago on our own…we had to buy tees and buttons and placards and palm cards to distribute up and down the street and to every friendly-seeming house on our own. We organized canvassing trips and busloads to rallies in battleground states on our own. All because we knew very much who Dr. Utopia, the Democrats’ chosen candidate, was and what he would do to this country.
And we knew the only two people standing in the way of Dr. Utopia and the White House from which he could enact the most lunatic and socialist policies imaginable for four years were John McCain and Sarah Palin.
In one of those morning spots the day Palin was announced, one reporter kept trying to ask us how gay Hillary Democrats could support Palin because she was anti-abortion. We’d employ a trick we learned by watching Hillary Clinton herself for a year of campaigning: we’d just not answer that question and instead talk about something else. Because abortion is one of two culture war traps the media uses to derail discussion and rile emotions senselessly. ”How do you think Democrats that are women feel about anti-abortion Palin being the VP pick?,” we were asked. ”We’ll tell you what Democrats who are women are feeling right now…they’re feeling exhilerated that John McCain has picked as his Vice President a qualified and capable chief executive who has never once let any personal feelings of her own stand in the way of what’s best for her constituents. Sarah Palin is an effective governor of our largest state, commander of national guard units forever on 24 hour alert due to Alaska’s proximity to Russia, and negotiator of an oil pipeline deal decades in the making that could be a giant step towards this nation’s energy independence. She’s also a loving mother, a devoted wife, a daughter, a sister, and a friend to a great many. She’s who we wanted McCain to pick as VP and are thrilled today that he’s done so”.
After the few spots we did, we all walked down Michigan Avenue in our Palin tee shirts, to a lot of stares from the Kool-Aid Gang of delusional Obots in Chicago. In case you aren’t aware, anyone not wearing those creepy, Orwellian “O” buttons all over them, anyone who didn’t have either “Hope” or “Change” or “Unicorns” tattooed to their foreheads (in the mark of the Beast, 2008-edition), opened himself to being called a RAAACIST! on the street for “not supporting a black man running for president”. Now, wearing ANYTHING in any way, shape, or form actively backing either Hillary Clinton in the primaries or McCain/Palin in the general election just CONFIRMED what a “damn dirty RAAACIST” a guy must be. ”Oh, I don’t even know who that Palin is, but Palin’s not Obama and therefore you must be a RAAACIST because you don’t want a black man with no experience and who’s never actually accomplished anything or done anything to be president. RAAACIST!”.
We walked down Michigan Avenue revving up all sorts of lunatics, hurrying to get to the big video screens at the NBC studios near the Tribune Building so we could watch John McCain introduce Sarah Palin live in Dayton, Ohio (home state to one of us here).
Great Merciful Zeus, we’ve never been so proud of someone, at that point, that we’d never even met.
When Palin took that podium, we heard her speak for the first time…and we have not ever stopped being blown away.
When she took a moment of her speech to sincerely thank Geraldine Ferraro and Hillary Clinton for their monumental efforts towards shattering the glass ceiling, we teared up, pumped our fists in the air, and cheered louder than we ever thought we could cheer…drawing stares from all the scurrying Liberal elites aghast McCain had picked a woman as his running mate (and, thus, by their instant estimation, seriously changed the course of the presidential race…much to McCain’s advantage).
Huddled near us, watching Palin’s speech, were a group of Jewish women straight out of central casting. One had her requisite “O” button on. They were oddly quiet for most of the speech, but towards the end, after watching how well the crowd reacted to Palin and how great she was in her delivery, one of them said, “Oh s***. We’re in trouble now. Whoever she is, she’s damn good. We’re going to have to work hard to destroy her.”
Nearly every single day someone asks us “How can you support both Hillary Clinton and Sarah Palin when they are so far apart on the issues?”. It is the most loathsome, tiresome, intellectually solipcistic question posed to us on a perpetual basis. So much so that we had to create a special answer to it in our FAQs section on this site.
The Cliff’s Notes for you, since we brought this up here, boils down to the following:
(1) Hillary Clinton and Sarah Palin both love this country with their full hearts and would gladly lay down their lives to protect our liberty, freedoms, and soveriegnty.
(2) Hillary Clinton and Sarah Palin are both tough as nails, and have proved their mettle in grueling battles with lunatics entrenched against them for many years.
(3) Hillary Clinton and Sarah Palin both work hard, wake up every day to do their best for this country, and have never offered an excuse or asked for a free pass for anything.
(4) Hillary Clinton and Sarah Palin have both had every vile, sexist, misogynistic, disgusting attack lobbed at them imaginable. Both are mercilessly excoriated on a regular basis by the MSM in what passes for entertainment to these people. Both are relentlessly hounded by so-called feminists like Camille Paglia, and other jealous frauds who hate seeing women succeed without kowtowing to these self-proclaimed poobahs.
(5) Hillary Clinton and Sarah Palin are both painted as “polarizing” figures and extremists, when neither of them is extreme in any way, and neither has ever done anything to warrant that polarizing label.
That last one above is interesting to us because it’s that coded language the Race Industry, and delusional whackjobs like Maureen Dowd, loves to read into anything to make it RAAACIST! when talking in any way about a black person. People can see when Al Sharpton, Henry Gates, or the current president bend over backwards to twist whatever’s said into an example of RAACISM. The MSM will allow Sharpton, in particular, to create firestorms over cartoons and all manner of imagined pejoratives and insults. ”The Al Sharpton Race-Baiting Variety Hour” has been a long-running programming mainstay of every major network for decades now…and whenever a new episode of this tripe airs, most people can see through it, even if they aren’t brave enough to call it out for what it is.
But, the word “polarizing” when used against a woman — and it is ALWAYS employed exclusively against women — is never identified as a code-word. Essentially, calling a woman “polarizing” is really just saying “she’s a f***ing bitch we hate”. And hate for really no good reason. The media just hates her, and takes every opportunity it has to convince other people to hate her too.
We tell you repeatedly that we live in Boystown here in Chicago and are active in the LGBTQ community, which has probably the most low information voters of any in the Democrat fold (behind only black voters in terms of unthinkingly pulling the D-lever every election, no questions asked). If Anderson Cooper says Hillary Clinton or Sarah Palin are polarizing, then every low-information fop in Boystown will parrot that for the rest of his life over Cosmos at MiniBar or Sidetracks for sure.
“Oh, she’s so polarizing.”
“I know, right.”
“Yah.”
“Anderson Cooper said that, and he’s smart.”
“Hot, too.”
“I’d do him.”
“Yah.”
“What’s polarizing mean?”
“Dunno. Don’t care. But if the Silver Fox says it’s bad, it’s bad girl.”
“I know, right.”
“Do you think Blake’s stripping at Lucky Horseshoe tonight?”
“It’s hot jock Friday over there.”
“Now, that’s what I call pole-a-rising.”
“Heh, heh, heh.”
For the record, the above is an actual conversation, jotted down word-for-word, overheard one night at Sidetracks in Boystown, where the VJs are fond of playing Tina Fey bits to mock Palin and Amy Poehler’s sendups to attack Hillary.
They have never once, not even ONCE, shown a single clip that mocks Dr. Utopia.
The montage of Bush hitting his head on things, dropping something, ducking the shoe thrown at him, and trying to open a locked door in Asia is in heavy rotation, however.
But not a single criticism of Dr. Utopia is allowed in the LGBTQ community, despite all of his many broken promises on HIV-AIDS funding, DADT, DOMA, and the most glaring slap of all, his refusal, for the duration of his political career, to ever march in a Gay Pride Parade.
Hillary Clinton’s marched in Pride…and promised to be the first sitting US President to do so. She would have kept that promise, too, in 2009.
Do we expect Sarah Palin to ever march in Pride?
No.
Why should she, when the low information fops would only boo her, and turn what’s already a circus into an absolute disaster for everyone. The LGBTQ community certainly can’t have it both ways on this one. They cannot try their determined, level best to paint Sarah Palin as the new Anita Bryant and go to great lengths to spew as much hatred and venom at her as possible and then ever complain about her not marching in a parade, when she clearly has never been treated fairly or shown the slightest bit of respect. You wear a Palin tee shirt in Boystown and you get a punch to the face. We know. We got one last November.
The LGBTQ community needs to ask itself why Dr. Utopia didn’t come to Boystown on June 29th, 2008 to march in the Pride Parade here…instead of getting his hair cut on the city’s Southside and playing basketball at the East Bank Club afterwards. If he is the person they hold up as “The One”, “The Lightbringer”, “The Savior”, then where are all the miracles he’s supposed to be working for the LGBTQ cause? The man’s got a Democrat controlled Congress and essentially a Democrat controlled SCOTUS as well. Where is the Hope, Change, and Rainbow Snarfing Unicorns?
In the Vice Presidential debate last October, Joe Biden had to admit that Obama/Biden had the same stance on LGBTQ rights that McCain/Palin did. Biden sure didn’t want to make the admission, but Palin forced him to. Either Obama/Biden was the absolute worst ticket Democrats ever ran for LGBTQ rights, or McCain/Palin was the absolute best Republicans have ever run. Dick Cheney — and we will shout this from the mountain tops for the rest of our lives — was the single greatest champion of LGBTQ rights to EVER BE ANYWHERE NEAR THE PRESIDENCY. If this is even possible, he was a better supporter and ally for the LGBTQ community than President Bill Clinton or Hillary Clinton have been. And that right there, is like saying someone’s a better player than Gretzky or can eat more in one sitting than Oprah.
Dick. Cheney.
Champion of LGBTQ rights. Don’t believe us? Look at his record. Prepare to be stunned.
What’s Joe Biden done of use for anyone? Half the time he’s off stealing somebody’s ice cream, as if he was a cartoon rabbit after cereal. The rest of the time he’s got his foot in his mouth. Dick Cheney might have shot a friend of his in the face, but even that guy didn’t seem to mind all that much because, apparently, Cheney’s such a good man to have around that shooting you in the face doesn’t even make you want to badmouth him.
But, the LGBTQ community always will, because “smart people on TV” like Anderson Cooper say Cheney is evil or Bush is a chimp. Don’t you dare use that last word within five paragraphs of mentioning Dr. Utopia, “The Lightbringer”, lest you be branded a damn dirty RAAACIST and invoke the ire and opportunistic indignation of the Sharpton/Gates/Jackson/Holder/Utopia rapid response brigade.
The “smart people on TV” are all agenda driven Liberal propaganda tools. The American media is a defacto arm of the DNC. 2008 proved, more specifically, it’s a mouthpiece of the Liberal wing of the Democrat Party…and that it will blast its own moderate, centrist members, like the Clintons, if the choice ever comes between sane and rational moderates and crazed, Kool-Aid soaked Liberal socialists like Dr. Utopia.
Much of the “smart people on TV” chatter about Sarah Palin is that she could never run for, win the nomination, or be elected President because too many people are making fun of her, too many people are attacking her, too many people actively want her to fail. ”I can see Alaska from my house” is something the unfunny, bitter actress (and media darling) Tina Fey said, not Sarah Palin. But walk into any bar in Boystown and, of course, “someone smart” told them Palin said that and so that’s what they believe.
For 20 years now, the Right has been making up all sorts of nonsense about Hillary Clinton too. There are entire sections in libraries dedicated to the crazy things people have written about this woman.
As Sarah Palin’s book, Going Rogue, hits shelves next week, we see clearly the publishing industry’s zeal to start filling a section up on her, too. 95% of it will be the same sort of shrill, crazy, demented ravings that have been printed about Clinton. This will become a new cottage industry…and “smart people on TV” like Anderson Cooper will parcel out catchy little sounbytes about how polarizing Palin is, or twist something she says so they can ridicule her for it.
But does that mean she shouldn’t run for President?
Because if that’s so, then no woman can ever run for President because the MSM intends to use this same Hillary and Sarah playbook on anyone simultaneously possessing a vagina and the audacity to want to occupy the Oval Office.
We hope Palin hits it out of the park in her book.
We hope she rips Katie Couric, Charlie Gibson, Anderson Cooper, Chris Matthews, Keith Olbermann, Rachel Maddow, and the rest of the MSM to shreds.
We hope she continues to be a force on the political scene the next few years and makes these people positively apoplectic when she officially kicks of her (what we believe is actually running now) presidential campaign.
And when she wins, we hope everyone mentioned two sentences above has a Tim Russert moment of their own, right in their own studios, and they all collapse on the floor from shock and never take to the air again.
We have no idea what Palin says in her book, but on Tuesday when we buy it we’ve already cleared the whole evening with hopes of live-blogging as we read it, hopefully devouring it in one night.
And we look forward to telling Palin in person someday what we thought of it…hopefully while wearing another Palin tee shirt…this time hopefully with some kind of a moose logo on it and a big PALIN 2012 on the back.
Democrats will regret alienating the Clinton Coalition in 2010 and 2012
Here’s a very detailed, big-thinking article over at RealClearPolitics that is well worth a read when you have time to sit down, take a few notes, and really contemplate it: Can the Clinton Coalition Survive the Age of Obama?
It’s FASCINATING…but very detailed, and we honestly had to re-read it a few times to fully appreciate the thousand or so important things that it said.
Essentially, the authors look at the Coalition Bill Clinton assembled in 1996 for his second term, bringing “Jacksonian Democrats” back to the fold. These are, essentially, the “Reagan Democrats” who ditched the party in DROVES after Jimmy Carter…the same people who, in 2008, Dr. Utopia, our illustrious current president, called “bitter, gun-and-religion-clinging, people who don’t like anyone different from themselves”. Or, in words his Liberal friends and fellow race-baiters would say, RAAACISTS!
Dr. Utopia was shellacked by Jacksonians in Ohio, Pennsylvania, West Virginia, Kentucky, and everywhere else in the 2008 primaries where Jacksonians recognized the Clinton moderate brand and wanted absolutely no part of Liberal socialist insanity by way of Dr. Utopia and his condescending “bitter clingers” remarks inside the Getty Mansion in San Francisco.
In the article above, the authors note that in 1996, Bill Clinton appealed to not just these Jacksonian Democrats, but also to Independents in the suburbs who wanted law and order, good schools, safe streets, low taxes, and responsible government spending. These suburbanites are culturally and fiscally conservative, thinking family and entrepreneurialism first, with absolutely no interest in a sweeping Liberal agenda anymore than they wanted to jump into any Right wing religious zealotry.
If you notice, these people the writers talk about in 1996 as part of the Clinton Coalition are the very same people who stood with Hillary Clinton herself to the end in 2008. They also include many conservatives on the Republican side who, to this day, say they would rather have had a third Clinton term with Hillary in the White House than to have Dr. Utopia in office today.
We have not seen anyone else, ANYWHERE, make this realization yet.
Instead, for more than the last year, we’ve constantly been berated by the MSM that 2008 was such a historic election, that the “youth vote and the black vote” were phenomenally large and that Liberals have secured a permanent majority and hold on this country in a monumental landslide of an election. All of that is sheer and utter nonsense.
The “Clinton Coalition” article notes that 2008 was actually primed for a Democrat of the Clinton mold to win 60% of the national vote…while Dr. Utopia only won 53%. They claim Bush’s second term, in particular, had been perceived as an upper-middle-class independent voters’s personal nightmare: out of control social policies, massive spending, two wars spinning out of control, financial collapse of businesses and banks, etc. The authors note “the right Democrat candidate could have put together a massive Presidential majority” by building a new coalition of not just the urban elites, blacks, dyed-in-the-wool loyal Dems, but also the suburbanites and Jacksonians as well.
Dr. Utopia did not do that.
It’s apocryphal to call his victory a landslide, beacause it wasn’t. Landslides happened in 1920/1932/1952 and 1980, as the authors note. Hillary Clinton would have had a landslide victory in 2008, if you read what the authors are saying and factor in what we’ve told you about the primaries: she won all of the people the authors say did not vote for Dr. Utopia as they should have.
Another thing the authors don’t note but we have repeatedly told you: the only reason Dr. Utopia won at all in 2008 is because Republicans sat their butts home. If the GOP had managed turnout at George Bush’s 2004 re-election levels, President John McCain would be in the Oval Office today.
One of the things that makes us the most furious around here is whenever we read anything derogatory and dismissive of PUMAS on Republican sites. While Republican after Republican we knew sat on their fat lazy backsides in 2008, eating their fudgecicles and drinking their bourbons, claiming “Oh, McCain is not conservative enough for us, so we’re just going to not vote this year because that will teach the GOP a lesson…and Obama will be a new Carter and then we’ll get a new Reagan in four years, heh heh heh”, moderate Democrats like us went traipsing through most of the Midwest riling up as many Jacksonians as we could to vote Republican — most for the first time in their whole damn lives. We had dogs sicked on us, rocks thrown through our windoews, nonstop hate mail sent to us (to this day, as a matter of fact), because we were lifelong Democrats who knew what Dr. Utopia was, who clearly saw what he planned to do to this country, and who understood his term in office would be four long years of nonstop reckless spending on socialist/communist/radical entitities like ACORN (just as George Soros directed).
Read the “Clinton Coalition” article. The reason Dr. Utopia won by 53% and not 60%, as he should of, is because of PUMAS. The article calls us “Jacksonian Democrats”, and maybe that’s what we all were before 2008, but we’re PUMAS now and forever baby. The majority of us will never call ourselves Democrats again. Those of us here at HillBuzz are still weighing that decision, because being a Dem has been part of our cultural identity our wholel lives. None of us step into a church except for funerals and weddings, but we all still call ourselves Catholics. However, increasingly, the Democrat Party has done so many terrible things in the last two years that we now call ourselves “Clinton Moderates” more than anything else. That’s “PUMA” for short.
None of us can imagine voting Democrat in 2012 unless Hillary Clinton is the nominee. There are a lot of new readers here over the last few days who found us because of an article we wrote detailing our reappraisal of former President George W. Bush. We here at HillBuzz fully intend to campaign for the Republican nominee in 2012 so that Dr. Utopia gets only one term and there can still be time to save this country from the socialist cancer this terrible man has stitched into the fabric of our nation. If Sarah Palin runs for President, we will quit our jobs and move to Ioawa to ensure we do everything we can to stop Dr. Utopia from gaming the Caucus like he did to Hillary. We will relive the nightmare of the last two years’ of our lives, learning from everything Dr. Utopia and the DNC did last time and make sure they do not win again. Those crazy Leftists must be defeated so that, someday, the Clinton Coaltion of 1996 and the Hillary Dems of 2008 can take back the Democrat Party and boot the deranged Carrter/Utopia elements out.
The “Clinton Coalition”, while not touching on PUMAS, and not even mentioning the Republicans who sat their sorry asses home in 2008 because “McCain wasn’t good enough”, notes that Dr. Utopia won in part because he created such intensity in the liberal, urban, and racist black base of the party. That’s another thing Democrats and the MSM don’t like to talk about, but the biggest racists we have ever met in this world are black people. They came out in droves to vote for someone they knew absolutely nothing about, just because his skin was the same color as theirs. These same low-information racist voters are the ones who keep expecting the current president to send them free checks in the mail, or give them reparations and other prizes. Increasingly, we hear them grumble that their guy isn’t doing anything for them. Blacks are the most notoriously unreliable voters in the Democrats’ coalition. While they will ALWAYS turn out in big numbers for a black candidate, and will always abandon people who have been good to them, like the Clintons, if a black they don’t even know appears on the ballot too, they just might not be so eager to turn out in 2012 because Dr. Utopia is already president. There will be no impetus for them to “make history” as the MSM kept putting it. ”The first black president elected to two terms” is not a great motivator for these people. It won’t motivate the urban liberals too, or the LGBTQ community either. All of that magical mojo was used up in 2008, never to be repeated again.
We are telling you — and we hope to Heaven some of you listen — that Republicans will never, ever win the racist black vote, the delusional liberal urban elite vote, or the low information LGBTQ vote. It is a waste of time to even try, because none of these groups vote rationally and will always pull the lever for the Democrat — with the exception of blacks, who will vote for anyone else who is black, regardless of party, ability, or any other qualification.
2012 entirely hinges on three things:
(1) the GOP running a candidate who turns out their base, so that few idiots sit at home “to teach the GOP a lesson” because they believe the candidate is not conservative enough
(2) that candidate needs to talk only about creating jobs, lowering taxes, reining in spending, providing law and order, stabilizing the economy, securing energy independence for this country, protecting our citizens, and providing a solid education and path to a good future for our children. NO talk about social issues…no attacks on gays…no crusade on abortion…no fodder for the Race Industry
(3) balancing (1) and (2), the candidate needs to appeal to conservatives while standing tall and strong as someone Jacksonian Democrats, PUMAS, independent voters, and Clinton Moderates, whatever you want to call us, can get behind
Ladies and Gentlemen, that person is Sarah Palin.
If she goes for it, she’ll be the 45th President of the United States.
Read the “Clinton Coalition” article, because everything in there points to Dr. Utopia’s defeat in 2012. If Democrats are smart, they will convince Dr. Utopia to pull an LBJ and announce he has a medical illness (most likely Parkinson’s, which is sympathetic) and cannot seek a second term.
And then the Democrats should nominate Hillary Clinton.
But, 2012 will not be an automatic win for her in the general election as it would have been in 2008. Remember what the “Clinton Coalition” article said, about voters responding to Bush, the financial collapse, and everything else they blamed Republicans for. Well, in 2012 voters will be blaming Democrats for all of Dr. Utopia’s broken promises. On top of that, the reckless spending this White House and Congress are engaged in will have perhaps permanently ruined our economy by 2012.
The article notes that it took Bill Clinton’s controlled spending and budget surpluses to convince voters Democrats weren’t spendthrift loons after Jimmy Carter.
Three years from now, Dr. Utopia, Nancy Pelosi, and Harry Reid will probably have put those old Carter terrors back into everyone. It honestly could be another 20 years before Americans trust Democrats with a budget again.
Hillary might very well be the Democrats’ only hope in 2012…because if made the nominee, at least she will have a shot, unlike Dr. Utopia…but he may well have done so much damage that she can’t win.
If everything continues to align as it is now, a woman will indeed be President in 2012, be it Hillary or Sarah…and we will work our heart and souls out for her on the ground whichever one it is who takes on Dr. Utopia because we just can’t let this man have a second term.
We honestly don’t think America would survive it.
Friday Open Thread: November 13th, 2009

What do you want to catch up on this weekend?
It’s Friday, go at it here.

Roland Emmerich’s 2012 opens this weekend. There’s a slight chance we’ll be able to breakaway for some popcorn fun and check out the spectacle: it’s a giant CGI-fest about the end of the world as we know it, presided over by a black president who has no idea what he’s doing, from what we’ve seen in trailers. Technically, we could sort of just watch this for free on one of the news networks, anytime we want, and without so much CGI too.
Morgan Freeman played the President in Deep Impact, when a comet smacked into the Earth. At the end of that movie, one of the last scenes had Washington, D.C. being rebuilt, with Freeman giving a nice speech about the flood waters receding and life going on, with the disaster passed.
There was another black president presiding over a completely broken and destroyed United States in Idiocrity, an unfunny Luke Wilson-Maya Rudolph laffer, where the president is a combination thug, rapper, slang-talking, naive, in-over-his-head, dangerous egomaniac. In that movie, the president thought it was a good idea to take over all industries, change the way everyone did business, ruin healthcare, and start using Gatorade to water the plants, since “smart people told him” Gatorade has electrolytes in it and those are supposed to be good. He was also a Nobel Prize winner (which he wore around his neck, in the form of a large gold plate, like Flava Flave’s alarm clock or Mr. T’s dinner plate).
These are all, apparently, random thoughts we’re having right now about unrelated movies — with nothing at all to do with the current occupant of the White House, obviously.
But, we are wondering what impact the 2012 conspiracies and coming madness will have on the next presidential election. This is a major variable that could heavily impact not just pop culture, but the political world too.
This movie, opening today, is the first hit we’re going to take with this Mayan-calendar-ends-and-with-it-the-world business. There have been books in the fringe section of the bookshops out on the topic for a while, but these have now been moved to prominent endcaps and central displays at the front of the store, which is not a good thing in our opinion. The Y2K insanity was bad enough. After 9/11, the nation fell into a frenzy of hyper-patriotism (which wasn’t all bad) that became a collective national psychosis — as much as we love this country, and would gladly fight and die for it whenever she needs us, we never believe questioning the government or the president is EVER unpatriotic…and that’s exactly what was repeatedly said about anyone questioning ANYTHING government related after 9/11. That was crazy, and America’s emotional overreaction to the tragedy.
2008 was, obviously, another manifestation of national media-fueled mental illness. Anyone who didn’t support, and still doesn’t support, Dr. Utopia was called a RAAACIST. It was the ugliest, nastiest, most socially destructive presidential campaign ever run — with Democrats actually beating down their own traditional coalition with a racial cudgel, forcing into office a man few still know anything substantive about. Hope! Change! Plenty of Kool-Aid straight from the River of Lethe for everyone!
There could very well be another manifestation of mass hysteria and psychosis between now and 2012: if, as many believe, the current president does not stop a terrorist attack or Iran is allowed to build a nuclear bomb in the next three years, there will be another outpouring of raw national emotion, though we don’t know if it will be hyper-patriotism like after 9/11 again, or if it will more cult worship for Dear Leader like the 2008 campaign, or if it will just be crazed panic like the Y2K business.
But, there’s a lot of money to be made off the 2012 Mayan apocalypse panic. There will also be plenty of charismatic crazies who’ll, we’re sure, start numerous End of the World death pact cults in the coming years as well. Muslims might just pick up on all of this and start planning terror attacks to feed into it…the way they had events planned to feed into the Y2K hysteria, but thank goodness the government stopped all of those (the destruction of Los Angeles’ water supply, the bombing of LAX, taking out 8 Pacific flights mid-air, the NYC aquaduct and subway bombings, and the planned assult on Las Vegas).
It is widely known the current Justice Department under notorious race-baiter Eric Holder stays up late at night thinking of new ways to prosecute the CIA and US military for being too tough on terrorists — and that Holder is no rogue in the Administration and is, thus, doing exactly what Dr. Utopia wants him to do. That means if anything terrible DOES happen between now and 2012, we hope and pray the career CIA and military come forward and tell the world how it could have been stopped if only they had been able to do their jobs. Because this is Dr. Utopia’s watch, and if disaster comes on it, he needs to take the responsibility for it and not try to blame his predecessor(s) for any of it.
We don’t know how good this movie will be, but the next few years will be very interesting indeed, for sure.

It looks like being a disgusting pig who wears diapers is going to cost David Letterman upwards of $300 million. His wife, Regina, has wised up and kicked him out of his mansion.
If there is any justice in this world, it will not be a quick divorce settlement. That way, Regina can get Worldwide Pants and CBS security footage in the discovery process — which she can then ultimately air in open court to reveal all the perverse things Letterman did to staffers at his nightly yawnfest. Airing that will allow hundreds of employees at CBS to sue for sexual harrassment, including male staffers, because establishing people were promoted who were having sex with the boss means those people had an unfair advantage people who were not promoted did not have. The male employees, absent the vaginas Dave coveted so irresistably, had no equal opportunity for advancement in that toxic work environment.
Could get very interesting, and very, very expensive for CBS.
It sure feels like this show is going to be off the air by this time next year, either pulled by CBS or ended when Dave has another heart attack…real or manufactured for a graceful way out. The stress of this divorce can’t be good for him…not that he deserves any good…and “heart attacks” and other illnesses like Parkinson’s are convenient excuses for men in deep trouble to bail out and save a lot of face.
And with that receding hair and giant mug, face may be the only thing Letterman’s left with in short time.
