Democrats Change Party Name

Yes, you heard it here first. The Democrats will officially change their party name in 2006. They will be known as the Contrarians. The official party policy is to disagree with everyone else on any issue, especially that of the Republican party. No action by a Republican president is satisfactory. If President Bush were to bring complete peace to the entire Middle East region, the Contrarians must complain about the Tookie Williams murder cult (Governor Schwarzenegger). If President Bush personally discovers a cure for all cancers, the Contrarians must claim that curing cancer denies the rights of the terminally ill to die.

The move to the new party name is to align themselves with their actual belief system, which is they believe the opposite of anyone else. This system applies to all issues even when the issues might be mutually contradictory.

Their new mascot is the burning effigy of a Republican president. Depending on the personal whim of the individual protester, the effigy might be of former President Reagan or either President Bush. The Contrarians, being an inclusive organization, will also permit the burning of effigies of other than presidents as a stand in for their official mascot. A currently popular effigy stand-in is Karl Rove. Contrarians cannot abide success by anyone, including those within their own party.

Senator Ted Kennedy (Contrarian, Mass) will hold the inaugural New Year's bash at the Kennedy compound in Hyannis Port. All women attending are urged to provide for their ride home after the party. Representative Barney Frank (Contrarian, NY) has volunteered to staff the men's restroom to assist those in need of a hand. Representative Nancy Pelosi (Contrarian, California) has expressed a desire to show her solidarity with railroad unions and has offered to pull a train later in the evening. Sounds like a fun party.

It is Christmas

That is right. It is Christmas and the proper greeting is Merry Christmas. What is so hard for the liberal, god-hating crowd to understand? What is next to go? Happy Easter? Happy New Year? The "I don't want to hurt anyone's feelings" drones don't seem to understand that in their haste not to offend a few migrating pigeons, they offend most of the Christian majority. Where is the sense in doing that?

Oh, wait. We are talking about liberals. Commonsense has nothing to do with the ACLU, liberal democrats or most of San Francisco. Hellfire and brimstone is long overdue for those folks.

Have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. I include those wishes for the aforementioned group even if it irritates them. Especially if it irritates them.

The Battle has been Won

Iraq has a constitution and an elected, representative government. The former dictator is in jail and on trial for his crimes. Military planners are drafting the departure plans for United States troops during 2006 and 2007. Not withstanding things like two tons of enriched uranium, stockpiles of nerve gas and other sundry items having been discovered in Iraq, the justifications for going to war with them were amply justified. The terrorist potential on American soil has been greatly diminished by the removal of the Afghan and Iraq regimes of terror.

So what is it with the liberal crowd that they are screaming quagmire, defeat and a demand to abandon the job just as it is almost completed? Are they afraid a Republican president will succeed where Democratic presidents Johnson and Truman failed? Or are they too much in love with their political party that the country comes in a distant second in their loyalties? I got a feeling the liberals won't have any answers because they simply don't understand the questions.

There will be more battles before the war against terror is finally won. I wonder what it will take for liberals to understand our danger and do they have the gumption to fight to the end?
