The Fix over at the Washington post has this from yesterday.

http://blog.washingtonpost.com/...

So in my joyous wonder of being a complete nerd when it comes to politics, I decided to do a state by state breakdown, of electability. Some will be quick, easy and to the point. But I believe that for the first time in 8 years, more states are in play than ever before.

Now, are there some states that we can right off as being blue or red... uh yeah? California, New York, Mississippi, Alabama... they are blue, blue, red and red respectively. I'll include them all though for how fast I see them turning.

Yesterday, February 19th, Michelle Obama said she was finally, for the first time in her adult life, proud to be an American. Not for the support of her husband as much as in the sense of Americans taking charge and demanding change in everyway. The response was loud, instant and blind rhetoric. She was instantly vilified, called out and in a sense that was, in every sense, completely misplaced.

Some background here, so you can understand the context of why I understand her statement so well. This is a sort of bio, but indulge me here for a moment; fore I can put her statement into better context than pretty much any pundit could try. If I am vilified for it, so be it. But it is true none the less; true no matter who tries to disprove it.

I was not proud to be an American until October 17th, 2005. I was born in autumn 1974, and it was over 31 years for me to finally see something that made me proud to be an American. But it was due to a unique experience that went to the root of emotions for many reasons, much the same that Mrs. Obama is experiencing.

Oh, 2008 and we FINALLY are in the correct time frame for these ass clowns to run for president. DAMN!!!! I thought I would be glad to be done with 2007....

Let’s go through the candidates, it will not reflect as an endorsement, not as a YOU MUST VOTE FOR ***** or anything. I give you all more credit than this. And I will stick with the people still officially in the race. Which is 4 on the democratic side (Hillary, Obama, Edwards and Kucinich) and 6 on the Republican side, (Romney, McCain, Huckabee, Giuliani, Thompson and Paul)? Yeah yeah, I know... Mike Gravel is still running. But when the guy advocates using Mary Jane over alcohal (which I actually understand) but he fails to induce full irony by not waiting to say this till around 4:20... how can I take him seriously?

Dear Jesus,

I know I haven’t written in a while, but apparently I now have to go through an intermediary to talk to you. Yes, it seems that the evangelicals, fundamentalists and of course, the Catholics, have all decided that only their appointed priests, ministers and evangelists can talk to you. Us normal humans seeking salvation must wait for them to relay our messages and prayers to you... so I have taken to writing.

Since I am not a member of a mega-church, maybe my letter will get lost in volume, but maybe the return address will stand out. (Please don’t dismiss it just cause it has a Virginia Beach, Virginia return address, I am not affiliated with Pat Robertson, Jerry Falwell or any of the others around here either.)

I know the title would be classified as DUH!! in these forums, but it’s also a truth. On Rush’s daily verbal vomit fest, he said that (okay.. let me correct that) agreed with a caller who said and I quote:
CALLER 2: No, it's not, and what's really funny is, they never talk to real soldiers. They like to pull these soldiers that come up out of the blue and talk to the media.
LIMBAUGH: The phony soldiers.
CALLER 2: The phony soldiers. If you talk to a real soldier, they are proud to serve. They want to be over in Iraq. They understand their sacrifice, and they're willing to sacrifice for their country.

Now I don’t know who I want to lay the smack down on first. Should it be this caller who says he has been a service member for 14 years, to quote my brother in arms:

CALLER 2: And, you know, I'm one of the few that joined the Army to serve my country, I'm proud to say, not for the money or anything like that.

I had a conversation with a fellow member of the service who was listening to Rush Limbaugh. I admit I occasionally listen to this ass-clown if for no other reasons than to remember why I hate his illogical, bloviated drivel. I will admit that there are a few times I have agreed with the windbag. Mostly on ridicoulas items or ones that serve my self interest. (I am human but at least I can admit it.)

But yesterday, I was informed that Rush Limbaugh had diagnosed me with a chronic condition/disease. Now, while I admit my back is in pain due to a slipped disk, and I suffer from mild hyper-tension, I never considered going to a right wing talk show host for a medical diagnosis. Yesterday however, I was informed I was suffering from Liberalism, a mental disease based on euphoric delusions that the government is meant to support the people.

Now I understand that Rush was referring to actual financial support of everyone as a parent would to a child. And I do not advocate this at all. I don’t advocate a style of government that lets everyone get away with whatever they want. What I do advocate is a government that follows the founders original intent. One founded on a principal of "BY the PEOPLE, FOR the PEOPLE".
