Our Political Sitcom

Something funny happened on the way to my blog. I ran smack dab into a wall of radical conservatism. David received an email from a friend about how Barack Obama is really a Muslim. This got me thinking about how the mind works of a person who believes this? I would like to say that this person has their head so far up their ass that....but I won't because I am above that. It is just difficult for me to believe that someone can actually be so ill-informed that they think that the democratic nominee for the President of the United States can possibly be a Muslim. It is easier for me to believe that what they really want to say is a black man. It is just more acceptable to say Muslim.

Now here’s where the comedy really begins. Like a classic episode of Seinfeld, David made the mistake, (by accident) of responding to the ENTIRE email list. No, no, it gets worse, and he did it with profanity. After realizing that he had sent it to everyone, he tried to make the situation better (by making it worse) and apologizing for his offensive language, and giving links to show that people should educate themselves. What ensued was a fire storm of e-mails from a long list of the most radical conservative republicans you could ever find. Here are some email excerpts:

"This country filled with all the tree hugging, liberals, and the “just do whatever makes you happy” mentality is what is running this country into the ground! Now, as if that’s not enough, all the left wing, Volvo driving, baby killing, homosexual marrying liberals are wetting their panties over Obama."

Let us analyze and discuss.

If this country were filled with tree hugging liberals then no one would believe that Obama was a Muslim. We would say that he is black and would make a great president.

The “do whatever makes you happy mentality” has not been running this country into the ground for the past eight years. It has been the one dimensional president in a three dimensional world that has deregulated us, and lead us with fear, that has gotten us to where we are today.

Alright, you did get us at Volvo driving, but I DO NOT kill babies. I think you will be hard pressed to find anyone that is pro-abortion. I do believe that homosexuals would make great fathers but I would not marry one.

Another email promoted the military, and McCain as a war hero to make sacrifices for this country as his ability to be president. He then proceeded to tell David that "it was his filthy left-wing bullshit and pussy mentality that would get him ass raped in Iraq like a two bit whore and then have it shown on You tube" I'm paraphrasing, but this man also went on to say that "He would bring popcorn to that viewing."

He almost sounded logical when describing McCain’s past, because really who’s going to argue that he is an honorable man? I totally agree. But then he got all uni-bomber on us and the real republican family values that I often hear about during election time came out. Dear Mr. Butt Sex, you fit very well into our sitcom as part of the "don't ask don't tell" area of the military if you want to view that type of explicit behavior on the internet. What else are you watching? *wink wink*

And finally another email this morning, from Mrs. Butt Sex that said she’s glad I lost my job, “Praise the Lord, now she can be a real mommy and stay at home and nurse her baby just like God intended her to.”

Ok, let’s pretend for a second that she's making a valid statement. My question to her would then be, if all women should be home raising their babies, then how do you feel about Sarah Palin going back to work three days after giving birth in April?
For the record, I don't think all republicans feel this way, I don't think McCain is a bad man, I am not against the military and I DO support our troops. Freedoms that we take for granted today are because of the men and women who fight for this country.

All this, just because DG didn't want people to think Obama is a Muslim. More DRAMA than the new 90210. Stay tuned.
