Illegal aliens, ants, protestors, and the Arizona immigration law

Life is grand isn't it? Especially when you live in a country where complete  morons are allowed to stick their protuberances into other people's business.

Case in point (or maybe it should be "and"): Arizona. Maybe you noticed the protest in which UNamiable dunces descended on Arizona in order to tell the citizens there how THEY think things should be run in their own state. The arrogance, the idiocy, the buffoonery…it's baffling. Or do you disagree? I mean hell, I don't even live in Arizona and I was offended on behalf of its citizens who have to endure the "illegal" problem and all the attendant baggage which comes with it.

But just who the hell do these "compassionate" imbecilic out-of-towners think they are? …protesting the Arizona law…a law designed to protect the lives of those who actually live in Arizona…legally. Most of the protesters don't live in Arizona and correspondingly, they have no idea what Arizonians on the border have to deal with. The remainder of the protesters are the illegals who some might say have a conflict of interest. Ridiculous.

This is analogous to my "Ant" problem. Every summer I have ants coming across my borders and into my living space. They wreak havoc on my personal environment. In extreme cases they aren't just a nuisance, they cause harm….ruining food and thus costing me money when I have to replace that food and when I have to step up deterrents to secure the borders around my castle. I think I have the right to do what's necessary within the law to protect my place of residence from harmful squatters. Now, I'm not so sure…Last night I came home to a media circus: Five major networks camped outside my residence; a throng of protesters (mostly from the PETI organization (People for the Ethical Treatment of Insects). They are chanting, hold up signs, getting ugly. It's a spectacle of unparalleled and unbridled jettisoning of reason in the liberwock tradition. What are they protesting? Why,  my treatment of the ants, of course. I'm violating their insect rights, they say. I'm not being humane. I owe these ants. I must not only endure them, but I must make my home a place where they can relax and prop up their uh…little ant legs. They must be fed and quartered at my expense. If I comply with the demands of the protesters, I'm told they (the protesters NOT the ants) will leave and go back to the place where they live…which by the way is completely devoid of ants.

All of these folks have a few things in common:

  1. I have never seen them before (and I don't know why I would have….SINCE THEY DON'T LIVE HERE!!!)
  2. Having not been residents at my home, they have no idea what I have to deal with on a daily basis with these illegal insects crossing the border into my living space.
  3. These people have the arrogance and the Barack Obamalike audacity to tell me that I can't dictate what actions will be taken in order to make mine and my family's residence safe and secure from illegal insects.
  4. They all have the common sense I.Q. of a peanut.
 
Is there anything which can save Obama’s presidency?

A friend of mine recently sent me a link to a very entertaining read called The Toilet Paper. In this particular issue, they were having a bit of fun at the expense of supreme court nominee, Elena Kagan. Their dig was in reference to both Kagan's physical "beauty" and her "wealth" of experience. It turns out she has neither. You're probably wondering what this has to do with saving "The Great One's" presidency. Don't worry my liberal friends, read on and you will have your answer.

Actually, the email about Kagan made me think of a parallel to Obama. You see, just like Obama, she's got lots of education…and no experience. And just as Obama was positioned to be a power player (who never played), Kagan is positioned to be the same. Political nutroots are acting like this scenario never happened before. It's all experimental, you see, and we who are so critical…so quick to pass judgment, couldn't possibly know the outcome of what I'm terming,  the Kagan Experiment. But we do know don't we. Because Obama has been elected by those poor souls who can't see past the ends of their noses, the rest of us are experiencing, firsthand, how such experiments turn out. This observation led me to reflect on Obama's current approval ratings, which are hovering around 44%. It also made me wonder what, if anything, could save this man's presidency, especially, if his ratings continue plummeting into the 2012 general election?

There's only one thing…are you ready for this? I don't think you are, but I'm going to hit you with it anyway: a faux-assassination attempt. Think of it. It's the only thing which might be enough to swing public sentiment in his favor, enough to keep him in office for a second term, enough to even make his opponents fearful of attacking him for his ideological, and thus his legislative agenda. Hollywood would be only too happy to oblige this president by setting up (next to the latest string of government handouts) the largest con ever perpetrated in history: the mock failed assassination of the president of the United States. If his numbers keep tanking, look for it late in 2012. And remember…you heard it here first.

That's my prediction. Lest you think it's too far out in (AHEM) left field, let me remind you I predicted Bush Jr's lame duck presidency in his second term, the subsequent government handouts to corporate America (Uncle Sugar sympathizers call 'em bailouts) and Obama's landslide victory in 2008. Most of my conservative friends were dismissing me then too. Now I've got your attention.

Chew on that one a while.

 
Has Mike Sodrel lost his political marbles?

I can't figure it out. That is, I can't figure out what kind of campaign Mike Sodrel is allegedly running.

Weeks and weeks and…weeeeeeeks ago I attempted to contact the campaign of  Iron Mike. It was a difficult, since there was no contact email on Mike's website. Another thing I found weird was that Mike had no outline for his campaign platform on his site. To date, he still hasn't outlined his key positions online…or, to my knowledge, anywhere else. I just can't imagine what he could be thinking. This kind of "behavior" sends a very negative message to voters. in the 9th District.  But wait…it gets worse.

After a friend of mine at the Corydon Tea Party provided me with Mike's email, I sent a message to his campaign. I suggested that he correct the two considerations I mentioned above by adding a contact page and a platform page to his website. Then I waited, and waited some more.

Finally, much to my satisfaction, I logged onto the internet one day to not only find a totally revamped homepage for Mike, but a contact page as well. Yay Mike! So I took the opportunity to use it and sent a query to Mike concerning free trade. Specifically, I wanted to know what, if any, action he would take regarding NAFTA and the WTO, should he get elected.  Next, I sent the same questions to Todd Young's campaign. It took a few weeks, but Todd did get  back to me and answered my questions in a satisfactory manner, for which I am extremely grateful.

Mike, on the other hand, never did get back to me. Not even a form letter from one of his staffers. In the intervening weeks since I tried to contact his campaign, I found out that he refused to be vetted by the 9th District Independence Caucus.  I also found out that he has been ducking "the weekly public debates he agreed to in January," with Republican candidate Todd Young.

The Madison Courier notes that the Madison Area Chamber of Commerce offered Mike Sodrel nine different scheduling options for the debate, and his campaign declined each one. The Courier quotes the Chamber's Executive Director, David Collier, as saying, "we had everyone lined up. Everyone agreed. Then I got one email back from his (Sodrel's) office saying they declined. We had moved the date twice… we offered nine different options."

You have to wonder why Mike is running a "How not to run a political campaign" uh…campaign. Does he think that voters will support him, when he seems so…(How does one say it?) aloof? Why wouldn't he allow the 9th District Independence Caucus to interview him for the office he expects to win in November…an office where We The People are in the position of employer, while those running for the office are in the position of employee? Why is he dodging his debate obligations? Because he's too busy? I don't get it. It just doesn't make sense.
