How to vote in 2008 (and why)

They ain't no good choices, folks.

Yore Cracker Aunty is sick over this election.


Both McCain and Obama is badly badly flawed men. Badly.

McCain is an ambitious hot head. He finished jes' 5 from the bottom at Annapolis out of a class of 899 candidates. He was a playboy an' a jerk. He left wife # 1 when she was in a car accident and left disfigured. He married $$ to finance his political dreams. So much fer "family values." McCain ain't religious, but will use the pro-life horse fer the first leg of the race. He is definitely an "elitist" who cain't remember how many houses he has. ("Ask my staff"). He is a "maverick" because he wants his own way--that is, the way that most showcases his ownself. He ain't a bi-partisan example at all, nope, jes' a pragmatic deal maker and if a Dem is part of the deal, well enough. He ain't held in high esteem by any true conservatives. Or Liberals. He ain't really fish nor fowl...jes ambitious to be remembered in the history books.

Obama was an affirmative action admission to Ivy League halls and has been proven to have plagerized liberally wherever need be. He hung wif campus radicals from the git-go. He has never had a real job, only "community" jobs as the foundation of a political career from day one. He has ZIP experience and is ignorant in early every crucial category of statecraft. After all, I think we at least oughta git ourselves a fella that knows how many states is in the Union. He as a fatal weakness fer terrorists and thugs. He doan love America or even what the Founders of America set up fer us. His African Muslim connections is indisputable. The Chicago constituents is WORSE off than afore he came to "save" them. He lined his pockets wif' money he channeled to Michelle's bosses, an' Rezko's (a Syrian) fundraisers. His hate-filled "pastor" is a Farakan intimate an' built his retirement multi- million $$ home in a white country club neighborhood. His own brother lives is abject poverty, but Obama doan hep him none. They is all laughing at us'uns fer being dupes.


So how does we choose from this miserable lot? Gag.

Ain't no use in tearing ourselves up over issues like abortion and taxes. Fergit it. We ain't gonna agree on it anyway.

How we make the choice is this: We is Americans first, and Donkey's or Elephants second. How can we keep makin' sure we's Americans, the main thang we's got in common?

Youse American smart or dull, rural or urban, rich or poor, blue grass or rap, latte or RC Cola, brie or cheez whiz...all that.

But Sweet Thangs, these two men is motivated differently, even though they's both snakes-in-the -grass.

One is motivated by personal ambition and glory, a place in history to top his Admiral Dad and Grandad. The other is motivated by ideology, a Marxist hatred for liberal freedom, and a violent need to fulfill his Marxist appointed calling to "change" things so that the world "unifies" under a Marxist vision of "equality."

Hold yore nose and pull the lever fer McCain. At least his idea of his place in history is only assured in a world where America still stands.

Obama's glory and "change" comes only when American as we know it is defeated.

Shall We Have a King, Then?

I'se for democracy--mostly.

But Aunty likes her democracy as the Founders meant it to be--a system of government for folks who understood that government was "of the people" and them people knew that self-governing was the task of folks who understood theyselves as "under God."

The American Founders knew that government was an ill, a monster if not regulated.

A famous fella said Democracy wasn't that great, until ya considered the other options.

So, iffin' we misuse and abuse democracy, to the point of utter corruption of the whole idea, well, THEN, I ain't opposed to gettin' a good King (or Queen).



One that writes like this :

No King can be happy without his Subjects be at ease, and the people be secure of enjoying their own without the King be at his ease also, and in a condition to protect them and secure his own right; therefore preserve your prerogative,(as King)

but disturbe not the Subjects in their property, nor conscience, remember the great precept, Do as you would be done to, for that is the law and the Prophets. Be very carefull that none under you oppresse the people, or torment them with vexations, suits, or projects: Remember a King ought to be a Father of his people, and must have a fatherly tendernesse for them... be content with what is your own. Endeavour to settle Liberty of Conscience by a Law.



Our Blessed Saviour whipt people out of the Temple, but I never heard he commanded any should be forced into it; tis a particular grace and favour that God Almighty shews to any, who he enlightens so as to embrasse the true Religion, tis by gentleness, instruction, and good example, people are to be gained and not frightened into it, and I make no doubt if once Liberty of Conscience be well fixed, many conversions will ensue....


It be true that this king weren't perfect--but none ever are. At least when we have monarchs, we have a person that we know is human, not an impersonal system under which all manner of ill and horror can hide.

War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things. The decayed and degraded state of
moral and patriotic feeling, which thinks that nothing is worth war is much worse.
The person who has nothing for which he is willing to fight, nothing which is more important than his own personal safety, is a miserable creature and has no chance of being free unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself.
(John Stuart Mill)
