Crazy Crap / Phillips / Presidential Politics The War on Terror Meets the War on Christmas

"Ok, so, this is total crap, we sit the kids down to watch 'The Charlie Brown Christmas Special' and our muslim president is there, what a load.....try to convince me that wasn't done on purpose. Ask the man if he believes that Jesus Christ is the Son of God and he will give you a 10 minute disertation (sic) about it....w...hen the answer should simply be 'yes'...."Even funnier to this blogger is the following excerpt: "you know, our forefathers had it written in the original Constitution that ONLY property owners could vote, if that has stayed in there, things would be different...." You know, a girl can think of some other things that were in the Constitution originally that also would have prevented an Obama presidency. But I'm pretty sure Wiseman isn't ready to go that far in his longing for a strict constructionist interpretation. At least not until he finds out about all the "Little Drummer Boy" parodies featuring President Obama. Then the gloves will come off, I'm sure.

...umm, also there was never a property-ownership clause in the Constitution. In fact, the original, unamended constitution is pretty vague when it comes to voter qualification.
But yeah, that whole "three-fifths" thing would have been a big hurdle for President Obama to overcome.
There was also this little gem: "...you obama people need to move to a muslim country...oh wait, that's America....pitiful."
Isn't it tough to see the "ONLY property owners could vote" as anything other than clumsily-coded racism? We've got enough context clues here to guess that he's not talking about his white Arlington neighbors who rent. Seems he's talking about public housing, which is known tea party codespeak for "black people."
Do I believe that "Jesus Christ is the Son of God"?
No.
Succinct enough for you, ass clown?

Between this today and that whole business about an email comparing Kent Williams to Judas which makes Jason Mumpower Jesus...
Head. Exploding.
WTF people? W.T.F.
Charlie, Brown, Christmas, Special, Constitution, Jesus, Christ, Son, God, and assorted articles are capitalized correctly. Muslim is not capitalized at all! Subtle, Wiseman. Subtle.
You know, I feel silly even pointing this out, but .. if Obama was a Muslim, shouldn't his answer simply be "No"?
Wow...i'm a conservative, but for me, that is simply INSANE. Didn't vote 4 Obama (didn't vote 4 john boy either) but come on Wise"ass", Really? Get a grip.
Dear Mayor Wiseman:
Be a good capitalist and buy the fucking DVD, or do you really hate America that much?
Knowing (conspiratorially speaking) that the President's speech was coming, the network scheduled the subversive Charlie Brown Christmas Special as a social commentary... pitting young, conservative, male characters against a strong-willed female and a symbolic dog known for flying combat missions from his rooftop. Sinister stuff, I tell ya!
The honorable Mr. Wiseman only displays the typical small-minded, small town mindset. You know, the same one that demands I produce proof I'm over twenty-one before I can buy a can of beer even though I'm white haired and toothless. I know it well. Grew up in it.
Get the goddamn Charlie Brown thing on DVD for Crissake. Who gives a shit whether or not our savior is a Muslim? Certainly not me.
As for the Founding Fathers and the constitution: they knew exactly what side their bread was buttered on. And they fully intended to protect what they had stuck their necks out for. Ergo: the Electoral College presidential election system. Electors could, if they decided to, ignore the popular vote and install in office anyone they preferred. Screw the provincial citizenry.
Somehow I suspect those old boys realized the threat of what we struggle to live with today: Dumbing down. Lets face it boys and girls; television, computer games, internet pizzazz, and the digital age has rendered training of the mind and IQs inconsequential.
I really don't give a shit. I'm old. I've got what I want and need. And I intend to play with my toys until I'm dead. Which will be before the real fall-out from manifest stupidity comes to pass. My only regret is the kind of inhibition to personal liberty my children probably will have to cope with. However, that's their problem, not mine.
