Tired of politics?  Me too.  The pontificators are harder to take after the elections than they were before them.  I voted for my Conservative Congresswoman and she won.  I voted against my Liberal Senator, but he won anyway.  Now, he’ll be back as Chairman of the Senate Appropriations Committee sending your tax dollars to West Virginia for construction of more monuments in his name.

He has to keep sending the pork here to ensure we keep our high ranking in important economic indicators… 49^th in business climate, 49^th in mean household income.  It’s difficult to achieve such high rankings.  It takes work.  It’s fortunate for our 70-year-old Democrat welfare state legislature to have Bobbie “Big Daddy” Byrd there to help us keep those lofty rankings.  I think we’re number three in taxes and we are depopulating youth faster than a hound chases a fat whistle pig.  But, hey, that’s representative democracy.  The people get what they ask for and deserve.  Actually, that isn’t true.  In this case, they’ll get what 40 percent of us asked for, but all of us deserve. I heard one babbling head on the radio this morning, before I said no mas and started listening to an Elvis Gospel CD, say that the Republicans got what they deserved.  I’m scratching names from my listening and reading lists, by the way.  For months, I’ve been listening to and reading self-proclaimed “true conservatives” pound the ever-loving snot out of the President and the Republican Party for not being conservative enough, but now they lament the defeat for which they’re as responsible as is Lindsay Graham and John McCain.  When you preach daily to audiences of millions and tell them to throw the bums out because they ain’t real conservatives, they listen.  I had to agree with him in this instance, however, and add that they worked hard to get what they deserved.  The question then is did America get what she deserved?  Yep, ‘fraid so.  Average-American delivered just as promised.Everyone is wondering what a House led by Madam Nancy and a Senate led by Madam Hillary is going to offer us – and it will be Hillary not Harry.  Well, they’re anti-military socialist liberals so there shouldn’t be much left to wonder about.Here’s a fer instance that you won’t find in the Karl Marx Economics Primer used by socialist liberals.  When they raise the minimum wage, they’ll hurt small businesses.  Some people, who now depend on those wages normally paid for unskilled labor, will lose their jobs.  You see, Karl Marx wealth-sharing economics doesn’t fit well into the capitalist system.  It’s an economics 101 lesson, the point of diminishing returns.  Most businesses try to expand to capacity (small businesses often operate on the edge of it).  There comes a point where adding capacity (additional employees) costs the business more money than the return it gets from increasing capacity.  Increasing minimum wage will have the same effect as adding employees (capacity) to payrolls – increasing the cost of business while decreasing the return.  To keep the businesses profitable will require cutting capacity.  In this case, the one or two employees that may equal the cost of raising the minimum wage lose their jobs.  Too complicated for the average minimum wage earner, who’ll gladly vote for the person promising him money, to figure out.  John Kerry Democrats think everyone is stupid, not only Soldiers, but we did vote them into power….  In the Army, we had a great acronym for this.  BOHICA.Then there’s Hillary Care.  We’ll need a tax increase on us wealthy to pay for that.  The wealthy by the way are the new recipients of the increased minimum wage.  Social Security reform is out the window.  It can’t sustain itself at the current rate.  More taxes.  That’s what Average-American voted for, so bring it on.  Your next Supreme Court nominee comes from the ACLU.  15,000,000 illegal immigrants will get amnesty.  Don’t expect funding for the border fence or for improved border security.  Expect repeal of the Patriot Act.  Expect endless investigations that’ll throttle the President’s prosecution of the war.  Investigations aimed at his destruction so that in 2008 they’ll be able to convince Average American that he needs Honest Hillary – if we make it to 2008. There’s another piece of this that worries me more.  Much more.  It should worry you also.  It’s tenfold more dangerous than the liberal socialist welfare policies coming our way.We’ve sacrificed a lot a men and women to gain a democratic foothold in the Middle East from where we can directly confront the Islamic Fascists who will continue to come for us until either they or us are destroyed.  This same group of anti-military socialists, 1960’s liberal pot smoking hippies (even those who didn’t inhale) led by the likes of Ted Kennedy and John Kerry will throw that sacrifice right out the window just as they did with Vietnam Veterans and the people of South Vietnam.  If allowed, these people will give us Vietnam Veterans version 2.0.  That’ll be one national disgrace too many for our Soldiers to endure.These flower children never met a defense budget they didn’t want to cut.  Our military is now using up equipment faster than it’s being replaced – that’s what happens in war.  Expect from them legislation that de-funds Iraq in stages until it stops completely, just as they did with Vietnam.  This is how they’ll force a timetable for withdrawal.  Charles Rangel has already bragged that you can’t fight a war without money.  Don’t think for one second that our enemies don’t know Charles Rangel better than does the Average-American.  Don’t be surprised when there is a marked lull in the violence that further accelerates our withdrawal.When we leave the job undone, Baghdad becomes a suburb of Tehran and both become allied with Russia.  Dames Nancy and Hill will be working on Hillary Care, the minimum wage and amnesty for illegal immigrants while Tehran prepares for its first nuclear exchange with Israel and Washington.  With Jay Rockefeller chairing the Senate Intelligence Committee though, we should be just fine. In the first Gulf War, it took our Military 100 hours of ground combat to destroy the world’s fourth largest standing army.  Dame Nancy is proud of what she hopes to do in 100 hours.  In our dangerous world, it may be a 100 hours from which we can’t recover.The party of Cindy Sheehan, Michael Moore, and the Dixie Chicks control the direction of our country for the next two years.  That’s what we voted for.  So we’ll have to live with what it brings to us.  With the death of Gang of 14 Republicanism, maybe we’ll see a rebirth of Regan conservatism.  Otherwise, 3000 casualties may come to us much quicker than 3 years.Please take a moment this Veteran’s Day weekend and say a prayer for our Veterans and our serving Men and Women.  They need our prayers, thoughts and commitment of support now more than ever.
