Will Someone Please Veto the Democratic Party?

President Bush vetoed the Defeatocrats pork-surrender bill today, and that's a good thing. The Repugnance Twins, Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid, appeared on TV but I was too busy throwing my empties at the TV screen to hear what they said.

I know the Left likes to call itself "Reality-Based." Yeah, but only if it is an alternative reality resulting from an LSD overdose. Here's what the "reality-based" folks believe:

1. That if you don't fight Islamic terrorism, it will leave us alone. In a sense this is true, since when we are all dead they have to leave us alone, unless they like the stench of rotting corpses.

2. That CO2 emissions are more dangerous to civilization than terrorism. Yeah, right. When was the last time a HumVee beheaded a hostage? Or bombed a train? Or resulted in catastrophic climate change, for that matter?

3. That we should adopt a Kyoto-style approach to greenhouse gases, ruining our economy, forcing employers to export millions of jobs overseas to China and India, drastically raising the cost of gasoline and other forms of energy (as if it weren't high enough now) and making the United States a more impoverished place to live. All so we can lower temperatures by less than one degree over the next 50 years. Well at least we'll be able to throw out our air conditioners! And we'll be so poor that millions of Americans will become illegal immigrants by swimming the Rio Grande into Mexico. Revenge at last!

I wonder how much carbon we could repress if we all held our breath for three minutes a day. Think about it. There ought to be a law!

4. That 9/11 was an inside job where hundreds of government agents somehow wired up the World Trade Center buildings with synchronized explosives, all without detection or observation by the thousands of workers and security personnel, who never even noticed. Apparently they were all hanging around the water cooler, all 25,000 of them.

The agents had to take out the inner walls to plant tons of TNT next to the support beams, then put the walls back and repaint before anyone noticed. They obviously came in on nights and weekends to do this, or perhaps by posing as pizza delivery boys. Hundreds, if not thousands, of government agents purposely worked to murder 3,000 innocent people to accomplish...what? None of these many agents has had any pangs of conscience, as none have yet come forward to blow the whistle. Just goes to show you what can be done with Dr. Evil in charge, though Mini-Me's role in the villainy has not yet been established.

5. That taxing the pants off people who produce and invest in order to reward the lazy and unproductive will somehow issue in a new prosperity. Yeah, and strapping boulders to the backs of our track team will enable them to win the gold in the next Olympics.

6. That human virtue is directly proportional to the amount of melanin and other pigmentation in the skin. The lighter you are, the more evil you are; the darker you are, the more virtuous.
Nothing else really matters, be it good deeds, wisdom or charity. That's why Mother Teresa must take a backseat to Al Sharpton. But I'm not telling the whole story. It's not all about race. It's about race, gender and ethnicity. If you're female, you count more as a human being, because women are the ones who abort fetuses and get paid less than men. If you're angry you count more than one who is not angry. Extra points are earned by being angry at people who make a lot of money, are white, male or straight. If you are violent, then the Reality-Based Community (liberals) will put your picture on t shirts, wear your headscarf pattern to peace rallies, and invite you to speak at universities. If you're really violent and anti-democratic, they may award you a special chair at U.C. Santa Cruz or name the Student Union after you.

Enough, I'm off to bed.
