4.Because in a culture that overuses the word “hero” (among many
others) pretty gratuitously, Mac is the real thing.
5.Mac can keep things in perspective. Age’ll give you perspective.
6.So will five and a half years in the Hanoi Hilton.
7.Because the various tyrants of the world see Barack Obama, and they
think “How Sweet. Fresh Meat”.
8.Because France, Canada and Germany have both elected more-
conservative leaders since 2004; for once, they have a point.
9.I’m not going to say “Bin Laden Endorses Obama” - but when Bin Laden
goes to sleep at night, who do you think he dreams will have his head
stuffed and mounted above the fireplace in the East Wing?
10.Even if Bin Laden doesn’t think Mac’ll do it, he’s gotta have
visions of Sarah, Todd and Track Palin snowshoeing across the Hindu
Kush, finding, shooting and stuffing him.
11.Because while abortion has never been the sine qua non of politics
for me, it matters.
12.And at the end of the day, Obama is pro-choice.
13.And Biden is worse - a pro-choice Catholic.
14.Because partial-birth abortion is inexcusable, and still Obama
excuses it (and I’ve heard Biden say not a thing about it).
15.Because as bad as Bush was on spending, Obama will be much, much
worse…
16.…and “balancing the budget” with tax hikes is economic suicide.
17.For the good of the party, the GOP needs to return to fiscal
conservatism. Whatever Mac’s other sins, he’s got a much better claim
to that than does Obama.
18.Or Bush, for that matter.
19.What I said in 17 about “the good of the party”? The same goes
tenfold for the nation.
20.Because the words “Chicago Democrat” mean something.
21.Because that something is worse than “Minnesota Liberal”, which
itself is a horror to behold.
22.Because I work hard for my money.
23.Raising taxes kills jobs. Including mine.
24.Because Hollywood is getting the vapors for Obama.
25.Because a lot of bigots and racists want to think I’m a bigot and
racist for not voting for Obama.
26.Because the 3AM Phone Call is a real thing - moreso in our world
today than fifteen years ago, even.
27.And Obama has shown us no evidence that he’s ready to take that
call…
28.…or do much of anything else.
29.Because Obama has voted “Present” in the Senate over 100 times.
30.Because Obama has spent less time in the Senate…
31.…than Mac spent in the Hanoi Hilton. Yes, Mr. Messiah, sir,
experience counts.
32.Because while I believe Obama isn’t a bad person, his presidency
will grant sweeping power to the Pelosi/Reid Congress, perhaps the
most depraved pack of hacks ever to wield political power in the
history of this country.
33.No, I mean the most depraved pack of hacks, just like I wrote it.
The post-Watergate Democrats were at least largely people with their
nation’s best interests at heart; many were WWII and Korea veterans,
people for whom the flag meant something. If you’re to the right of
Jane Fonda, the Reid-Pelosi Axis of Weasels should make your skin
crawl.
34.Because Sarah Palin, as relatively new to politics as she may be,
is vastly more qualified to lead the most powerful nation on earth
than Barack Obama is.
35.Because having Joe Biden a heartbeat away from the presidency
scares me a lot more than having Sarah Palin there.
36.Because having Joe Biden a heartbeat away from the presidency
scares me more than having Courtney Love, Lindsay Lohan or Crispin
Glover there.
37.Because Mac will extend the Bush Tax Cuts. Because…
38.…tax cuts are always good. Always. There are no exceptions.
Especially if they force you to cut spending.
39.Mac may not cut spending - but he will be not nearly the
spendthrift Bush was…
40.…and a year into an Obama administration, Bush will seem like a
miser.
41.Because hundreds of union goons can’t be right.
42.Because, unlike millions of “people” registered by ACORN and the
like, I exist, and someone needs to stand up for all of us actual
humans.
43.Because all of the fictional “people” that sent anonymous (and
illegal) contributions to Obama’s donations will be rendered moot by
everyone who repudiates their fraud.
44.Because every vote against The One is a finger in the eye of
MoveOn, George Soros (and his paid minions), Democrats.com, Media
Matters, and on, and on, and on.
45.Because Mac has a lifetime A from the NRA…
46.…and Obama was for gun control, before he was against it…
47.…before, given the company he keeps (and the chits he owes), he
will no doubt be for it again
48.Because too many of Obama’s supporters have been just too
insufferably triumphalistic.
49.Because just enough of Obama’s supporters have pledged to do
crappy, unamerican things if Obama loses…
50.…and an Obama loss will be a wonderful way to flush out what truly
must be called “Unamerican” - the rejection of the votes of ones’
fellow citizens. Let us get them out into the open - indeed, let them
“McCarthy-ize” themselves - so we can do something about them.
51.Because Obama will make Jimmy Carter look like a wise, cool-headed,
competent statesman.
52.Because it’ll give Keith Olberman a stroke.
53.Because Chris Matthews’ leg will finally stop tingling.
54.Because I’m dying to see Katie Couric’s face the morning after.
55.Because P. Diddy and Sam I Am will stroke out.
56.Because Mac is old enough to to give a rat’s ass what people think
about him…
57.…and Obama seems to need approval.
58.Because Mac blows up at people and the press…
59.…but hasn’t ever kicked anyone off his plane.
60.In spite of Because Palin is such a lightning rod for the paranoia
and misogyny of the institutional left.
61.Because Sarah Palin has teenagers who’ve made her life difficult…
62.…and an infant whose very existence upholds the value of life…
63.…a fact that makes the Orthodox Left purple with rage.
64.Because while Obama might have a bracelet from a soldier whose name
he can’t remember, Mac has two sons who are veterans…
65.…and a son who’s an enlisted Marine serving overseas…
66.…where Track Palin is right now. Yes, I do think having an
investment in the issue will make for better, saner leadership - and
certainly less palaver about, say, invading Pakistan.
67.Because while I’ve been a conservative for over 20 years, I grew up
a Democrat, around enough Democrats to care what happens to the party.
John F. Kennedy and Harry Truman would puke if they saw what Howard
Dean and Nancy Pelosi and Michaal Moore had done with their party. If
you’re a responsible Democrat, so should you. Help your party re-
discover its real legacy by sending John Kerry back to palookaville.
68.Because Jimmy Carter endorses Obama.
69.Because the only evidence I’ve seen about Obama’s performance under
pressure - his response to Georgia - makes Jimmy Carter look pretty
good in comparison.
70.Also Neville Chamberlain.
71.Because I love my country more than I love the UN.
72.Because the GOP embodies confidence in this nation - something the
Democrats do not. Belief that the US could be a good nation if we
adopted their platform in toto, perhaps, but not confidence.
73.Also exceptionalism. America is the shining city…
74.…which is a notion that makes Obama’s most-vital supporters
nauseous.
75.Because Obama, like Kerry and Algore and Carter, consistently
mistakes “plans” and “summits” and “negotiation” for productive
action.
76.Because as we saw in the wake of the market meltdown, Mac will put
“doing the right thing” ahead of political expediency.
77.Obama wouldn’t know how. Like with Kerry and Gore, ”the right
thing” changes depending on the audience he’s talking with.
78.Because I’m a “bitter, gun-clinging Jesus Freak”, and damn proud of
it.
79.Because I am Joe The Plumber.
80.Because I value freedom of speech - everyone’s speech, including
speech I disagree with - and an Obama Administration (and a Congress
under the unfettered control of the Tics) will start with imposing the
“Fairness Doctrine” to strangle conservative talk radio by fiat, and
start working its way down.
81.Because you know people by their friends. And Obama’s friends
include the Teachers’ Union…
82.…and the AFL-CIO…
83.…and AFSCME…
84.…and his “Mentor” Jeremiah Wright…
85.…and Bill Ayers.
86.Because Mac has one genuine skeleton in his closet - being part of
the Keating Five, albeit its least consequent member - and he’s owned
up to and made amends for it.
87.Becasue I survived the Carter years…
88.…and I don’t want my kids to have to do the same. Indeed, I’ve
spent my entire adult life dedicated to trying to prevent that.
89.Because this nation’s “soul” is in fine shape, and doesn’t need any
politician to fix it.
90.Because, as I noted (presciently?) four years ago: this country is
a better place with Republicans in charge. Lower taxes, lower
spending, smaller government…oops. Yeah, we conservatives have to take
our party back. Guess what? It’s easier to do when you’re in office.
91.Because the Media deserves a huge, stinging rebuke for having been
in the tank for the left for the past 30 years. They deserve it more
now than they did four years ago. Every year, I’m more convinced that
this nation’s well-being, even survival, depends on bringing the
mainstream media down to size.
92.Because I supported Rudy Giuliani and Fred Thompson until there was
nothing more to support. Mac had to earn my support.
93.And he did.
94.Because Mac is not from the coast.
95.Because Sarah Palin oozes “flyover land”. America’s “flyover land”
is not only this country’s heart and soul; it’s this world’s best
hope.
96.Because liberalism’s track record for setting economies on the
right path is 0 wins, hundreds of losses, and (with the New Deal) one
weak tie. And we need better than that.
97.Mac hasn’t forgotten the hard lessons of war.
98.Obama would have no reason to have known them…
99.…and most of his supporters actively repudiate them.
100.Because we’re at war. And Barack Obama is not only not a serious
leader for a nation at war - he is indeed a criminally trivial choice.
And with two kids that will both be of military age by 2012, I don’t
want to learn how to co-exist with this war - I want it over.

LOL !! Time and desire aren't the only things you lack.
And anti-Islamic racism isn't anything I'd care to be
"educated" in at any rate. It's sufficient for me to
deplore it and to speak out when folks like you spew it.
