My trip out east was wonderful, though a lot like slow motion time travel. Kept losing time, everyday, a flight cancelled, reconfigured. A traffic jam in Birmingham. A new time zone in Georgia. Daylight savings suckage on my departing day. I’ve been backlogged all month. I found that I have become defiantly inflexible.

You know what the market has been doing. Suckfest since day one, that should be the Democratic party slogan. Afterall, the market is a forward looking mechanism and ever since it’s been seeing Democrats in the future, it’s been bleeding. And why shouldn’t it be that way? They are the most negative fucks on the planet. Sorry for the language, folks, but for the life of me, I don’t know how anyone could feel intelligent supporting those viewpoints. When I hear them, I hear hatred of everything that makes this country great. Only cowards could turn what our great President George Walker Bush has done for us in the name of freedom and humanity in the mideast, into a bickering, self-loathing, first-to-flee contradiction. Where is the sense in this? Anyone? How is all the public back-biting at all supportive of the troops and their ongoing mission? Still, it doesn’t surprise me that the American public only took five years to become completely apathetic to the cause. Why would we want freedom for others when we piss on our own?

Are wars a financial decision? When the Islamic nutjobs that want to kill us all brought down the twin towers, do you remember asking, “How much will it cost to protect us?” Well, do you? Why do we supposedly care now? Can you tell me this? C’mon, all I see the Democrats do is bitch about the cost, to our economy and to our immeasurable standing around the world. The cost in blood and treasure. What a terribly overused cliche. This is a turn of phrase meaning what? I thought our blood was our treasure? Remember what Wonder Woman said on the Fourth? It was all “HELL YEAH” back then. Hello? Can anyone explain this one to me?

I have to remind myself as my uncle did recently, the reason nobody likes us in the world is because that is what our biased liberal media projects all over the world. Agree? I can’t believe there’s no pride in freedom. There’s no pride in personal responsibility. What about easing human suffering around the world just because we can and we have an unwavering will to do it? Why is our image both abroad and here at home so damaged? And if we are so hated, then why the hell do you think people are breaking laws and risking life and limb to get here?

Wow, just read the draft and this is some seriously grumpy Saturday morning material. Guess someone got up on the wrong side. I’ll go get my coffee and see if things improve. Ya’ll be good and have a great Saturday.
