12/09/2004: "They just don’t get it."

For the past month, I have been silently listening to dissection of the election results on a day-to-day basis by all the esteemed political pundits (choke and gag) and leaders of the Democratic Party (choke and gag). The two most prevalent theories as to why 60,000,000 Americans were dumb enough to put President Bush back at the helm for another term are:

1. Fear
2. The Republican Party was better at getting out their message in short sound bites that the average, dumb voter could understand.

I am gleeful at these theories because as long as the loons of the left pursue this warped line of reasoning, there is not a snowball’s chance in hell that they will regain power anytime soon to get me killed, or rape my wallet again. Now if I could just get the Republicans to exercise some cash conservation, I might actually think my hard earned dollars were temporarily mine again.

Their first explanation, FEAR, is my favorite because it demonstrates just how way out there these people are from mainstream America. (Mainstream = Hardworking Americans without a microphone and camera in front of their faces aka “fly over space” geographically not located on either left coast.)

American voters were so paralyzed by fear of another terrorist attack that they took leave of their senses and returned the proverbial “devil you know” back into office. They just don’t get it, do they? Hint to liberals for future quandaries about how Middle America thinks: Ignore facts and come to a bizarre explanation that makes you feel good (doesn’t need to make sense only needs to feel good), turn 180 degrees from your conclusion and that’s what Middle America is really thinking.

Fear is the friend of appeasement. You may not have noticed but the 43rd President didn’t graduate from the School of Appeasement. Appeasement has its root in fear because you are uncertain of the outcome and must negotiate a settlement that lets you feel good about the outcome and maintain some type of control over your victimhood.

NEWSFLASH-60,000,000 Stupid American voters voted for George W. Bush out of COURAGE not fear. It takes courage to stand up and fight for what you believe in. Silly little things like: life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. It takes courage to stand up and do what is right regardless of the personal consequences. (“The world hates us now.”) It takes courage to go to extreme lengths such as war to maintain extreme rights such as freedom. It takes courage to take risks. It takes courage to make mistakes. It takes courage to sacrifice lives so that others may live peacefully.

60,000,000 Stupid American’s went to the polls armed with vast amounts of courage and said loud and clear: I will defend myself, my family, and my country (even preemptively) because I understand that all that needs to happen to let evil flourish is for good men to stand by and do nothing. I have the courage to do something about it.

And on the second point-better at getting the message out? Duhhhhh, could it be a better message? No. (See hint for liberals for future quandaries above.)

Footnote to celebrities looking into Canadian immigration as a result of the election. No “give me your tired, poor, or huddled masses yearning to be free” up north of us. One requirement is a college education to prove your academic, scholastic ability. Maybe if you tell them that you once played a character that had an education they will accept that. Kinda like Stupid American voters granting you expert status on politics based on your fame and following your endorsements. NOT!

They just don’t get it, do they? Was that snarky?
