2009

It’s been a rough year…for me personally and for the good ol’ USA as well. Now that 2008 is behind us I am definitely ready for some Change!!!!!

My 2009 change wish list (not necessarily in order of precedence)

10) The Iraqi government and the Iraqi people finally thank the United States Military, the United States Government, and President George Bush for the opportunity we have given them (self determination, self government, and shared prosperity). As 10 (a) They start ponying up their oil dollars to pay some of the debt we’ve endured by liberating them from a tyrant. And when it’s finally over and we begin to leave, they build a memorial on the spot where we pulled down that statue of Saddam to every coalition soldier, marine, airman, sailor and civilian contractor who lost their life on their soil. While I’m on it, as 10 (b) Our government finally places as such emphasis on winning the battle in Afghanistan and finding Osama bin Laden as they did in winning in Iraq and finding Saddam. Their people deserve it. The Afghans I trained and fought with in 2003-2004 deserve it. The American tax payer deserves it.

9) The world finally shuts the hell up and lets Israel deal once and for all (by any means necessary) with Hamas and Hezbollah and anyone else who denies their right to exist (listen up Iran). I doubt this one will ever happen, but I’m ready for it none the less. If the Israelis’ do it right, by the time President Obama is ready to start badgering them to “sit down and talk” after January 20^th 2009, there won’t be a single male Hamas member over the age of 18 left to sign a cease fire.

8) The government stops stealing our money and our children’s, children’s, children’s money, to bail out corporate America because they were so greedy and so stupid they ran their companies into financial ruin and our economy to the brink of collapse. As 8 (a) Our government stops spending our money like drunken sailors in port for the first time in 6 months before we wake up and find ourselves bankrupt and owned by the Chinese and the Saudis, buying bread with Yen and learning just what the hell Shia Law means.

7) Killing unborn babies becomes the absolute, very last choice when a pregnancy is “unwanted.” Every single, gosh damned person who advocates abortion and a woman’s “right to choose” can speak their mind because they weren’t murdered in the womb. The current and future unborn should have the same right.

6) Al Gore and his other kool aid drinking nuts finally quit lying to me. Where is my Global Warming Al?!?! I can’t afford to move to the Virgin Islands.

5) American voters finally grow a brain and a shred of common sense and stop sending idiots, liars, con artist, thieves, and pompous, arrogant blowhards to run our government. If the bunch of incompetents we have in office right now had been our founding “fathers,” I’d have sided with King George.

4) Reverend Martin Luther King Jr’s dream of a man (and woman) not to being judged by the color of their skin, but the content of their character finally comes true. I pray to the Lord God Jehovah Almighty that Barak Obama turns out to be an even half decent president, but admit it America, if he’d been a “white” junior senator from Chicago with as little experience and as much baggage, he’d never have gotten past the Iowa Caucus. It may not be national suicide to elect someone because of “liberal white guilt” but it’s like playing Russian roulette with two or three bullets instead of one.

3) Real workable, common sense immigration reform is finally passed. The fact that we have 15 to 20 million undocumented aliens living within our borders is absolutely, positively insane! Not a single, solitary other nation on earth advocates such a policy. If we don’t put an end to the greed and political pandering and or laziness and bleeding heart attitude that has allowed this madness, we can sooner than later say “adios” to the United States of America as we know it.

2) Despite the fact that I filled up yesterday for $1.39 a gallon, we begin to drill here, drill now, build nuclear power plants, windmills, solar panel farms, electric and propane cars, and tell OPEC to pound sand up their…well, to quote Sméagol, I want them to “Go away and never come back!”

1) Last but not least, I’m ready for pansies and commies to shut up about my guns, atheists to shut up let me pray for your Hell bound souls, the GLBT (Gay, Lesbian, Bi-sexual, Trans gender) lobby to keep their perverted lifestyle to themselves and out of our schools, and for Hollywood to just shut up and make freakin’ movies and stop thinking that just because you make millions of dollars from the “sometimes” watchable films/TV shows I give a rats ass about you say without a script writer and a special effects crew.

I’m sure I could think of at least a dozen more wishes, but right now, I’m ready to have another drink, toast that 2008 is finally behind me, and pray that 2009 is just a little bit better for everyone.

God Bless us everyone.
