All kinds of brilliant things running around my head, and nowhere to put them. Who benefits? You!
Election 2008
It's about stinkin' time. Fred Thompson finally jumped into the race this week. Personally, I think he could have stayed "out" for a little while longer and not lost any credibility whatsoever. Uh huh... Regardless of his toying with the American people, I've come out in support of Fred Thompson right here on this very blog. There are candidates (Ron Paul, Mike Huckabee, Tom Tancredo, and Duncan Hunter) who I'm sure would also do very well as President of the United States. I could even be convinced to vote for one of those other guys. The problem is that they have absolutely no chance whatsoever of beating the Democrat nominee--unless by some act of God it turns out to be Dennis Kucinich.
As far as I'm concerned, Fred Thompson talks sense, shuns the "election hype," and is in favor of raising the dialogue of the campaign trail from forty-second soundbytes to an actual discussion ala Lincoln-Douglas on the issues of the day. The fact that he's like eight feet tall and could probably make Hillary hide behind her lectern in the debates is just an added bonus. The foreign policy of, "I'm from Tennessee, I drive a big red truck which may or may not have a gun rack" isn't a bad thing either.
President Pelosi?I've come up with a way to ensure a Republican victory in 2008. This is going to sound crazy, but hang in there. The Republicans in the House need to draft articles of impeachment against both President Bush and Vice President Cheney--immediately. Their domestic policies regarding immigration reform are, in my opinion, tantamount to high treason or at the very least bringing aid and comfort to the enemy. The Republicans in the Senate must then also vote to remove both the president and vice president from office. I'm pretty sure we can count on Democrat support for this, but there's an added bonus:
Speaker Pelosi, whose approval ratings are even lower than the Bush White House and whose political views are slightly to the left of Karl Marx, would become President of the United States. After a couple weeks of political correctness run amok about her being the first woman president (haha, Hillary), she'll eventually have to do something with the few months she has left in office. That's just enough time for her to screw up badly enough that the American people demand competence, but not so long that her conservative replacement (Presdient Thompson, anyone?) can't clean up the mess relatively quickly.
Immigration PolicyI was watching "A Few Good Men" the other day. One of my favorite scenes in the movie (love Aaron Sorkin--love him) is when Colonel Jessep (Jack Nicholson) is on the witness stand and he gives his "You can't handle the truth!" speech. Just after he delivers that line, he says this:
"Son, we live in a world that has walls. And those walls have to be guarded by men with guns. Who's gonna do it? You? You, Lt. Weinberg? I have a greater responsibility than you can possibly fathom. You weep for Santiago and you curse the Marines. You have that luxury. You have the luxury of not knowing what I know: That Santiago's death, while tragic, probably saved lives. And my existence, while grotesque and incomprehensible to you, saves lives... You don't want the truth. Because deep down, in places you don't talk about at parties, you want me on that wall. You need me on that wall."
That should be the national immigration policy of the United States.
