You win.

Congratulations!

The world isn't just going to hell, it's already there.

Have fun and enjoy - sure you will.

When there is a fluff piece by the Associated Press that includes the following, well no wonder Americans can just toss their hands in the air and say to "hell with it".

The AP story is about how the world is captivated by the U.S. Presidential election and includes such non-thinking, arrogant and well, pardon my steely-eyed analysis, true garbage of crud as the following - well then maybe it is time to give up and simply grab a gun and go build a cabin in the hills.

Because this claptrap of 9-year old child emoting is the stuff that ought to scare the daylights out of anyone with half a brain.

The main German newspaper quotes a German professor (naturally) as spewing this kind of 4th grade logic.

"He is young, charming and sexy!" the mass-circulation newspaper Bild gushed. "Obama is now the ideal projection screen for hopes and expectations in Europe!".
---

Yea, sure. Good for you. What the world needs is someone "young, charming and sexy!" That will solve the problems!

By God it will!

Not withstanding that Obama could single handedly ruin the American economy. Oh wait! That's true! The world wants that!

What was I thinking! Oh wait, I wasn't thinking what the "World" wants... I was thinking of what is best for the "United States of America"... so sorry for that.

And this from, of all people, the Japanese. You would think if any people outside this hemisphere would root for the United States to do well and make sound, intelligent decisions it might well come to a tie between Israel and Japan. But... we now know that can't be true.

---

Japanese media are closely tracking both Obama and the woman they refer to simply as "Hillary," and focusing on the possibility that either could make history.

"The idea since the country's founding—'You can't become president if you're not a white man'—has already been destroyed," the Mainichi newspaper said in an editorial.

---

Now that is truly brilliant! Let's have the United States, the most powerful nation on the planet, elect someone simply because of their race or gender.

Never mind whether they are actually QUALIFIED or would actually do what is in the best interest of the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.

I am at the point where I never felt I would be. Giving up.

It's now apparent that Marx, Lenin, Mao and the ungodly despots of the planet have made inroads beyond what any of the freedom loving people could have ever imagined.

In England this truly stupid collegiate "professor" postulated this 2nd grade (and yes it's going down in the thought level) concept.

---

"Nobody in Europe ever took Bill Clinton's problems in office seriously," said Patrick Dunleavy, a political scientist at the London School of Economics. "Nobody could ever understand why Americans were so upset. Bill Clinton was always a fantastic presence in Europe."

---

No! Absolutely not! Why would anyone take things like adultery or the desecration of the Oval Office or perjury seriously. Why would we do that?

That's not an issue, never was, couldn't be. Dunleavy you brainiac you are right! The Queen giving oral sex in Windsor Castle to someone she isn't married too and then lying about it, nope... no big deal. We wouldn't pay a whit of attention to that.

We would think that was... cool! (sadly and pathetically some of us would).

Mexico? What about Mexico! Well here is what their "El Presidente" thinks of all this.

---

President Felipe Calderon doesn't think very highly of any of the candidates.
"The only theme," he declared in December, "is to compete to see who can be the most swaggering, macho and anti-Mexican."

---

Sure Felipe we are with you!   Oh wait, you have people coming over your southern border!  No wait!  Don't shoot!! Nooooo!!!  Damn, too late.  (BTW and for the record, Mexico does do this at its southern border - we do not, all we do is put into prison American Border Patrol agents who shoot at Mexican drug cartel runners breaking into the country with tons of drugs and weapons.)

Felipe (I would call you Mr. Calderon, but I reserve the "Mr." title for real men) please read the following from me, John Fricke - Atlanta, Georgia USA.

Bite my Red, White and Blue arse. (Does "arse" translate?).

You need to role over tomorrow morning and thank God I am not "El Presidente'" of the United States. Because someone would tap you on your shoulder and say "Senor El Presidente! There are thousands of buses at the border and Estados Unidos is giving us our people we don't want or care about who broke into their country illegally back! What do we do???"

All I can tell you is, that there are now alot of Americans who feel just like I do.

Americans who have been kicked to the curb.

You want a revolution in this country. Wait until you see what the real Americans feel about what has and is going on.

Somewhere in the back of my mind is the real "OH MY GOD" realization that Ron Paul could actually foment a revolution if he would only call on all Americans to take arms to protect this country.

Yea, it's getting to be that bad. No one else will say it, but true American Republicans are about to revolt.

The world has no clue. They are populated by a bunch of arrogant weenies who think they have an idea of what is taking place here. They don't. 

The Democrats have moved so far left they will soon be quoting American legal theory from little red books. Sadly some of the GOP is right behind them in moving towards socialist measures.

On second thought I don't give up. But I am close to revolt. Because those are the choices left to millions upon millions of Americans who believe in something called the "Constitution of the United States". Of people who truly believe in freedom from government interevention and oppression. Of people who believe the rule of law truly matters and that theft (read "taxation by theft") is actually, surprisingly to you, wrong. And most importantly of people who would fight and die for the right to be free.

Maybe it's time for a second Constitutional crisis. One where we can actually get to true freedom and not government nanny-state oversight.

Or, at the very least, away from a Presidential ticket that reads "McCain-Gore '08 - The World wins and the United States loses!".
