AMERICAN CONSERVATISM IN 2008 AND BEYOND

Yeah, no kiddin' . . . especially the Fox show, which basically consists of making invidious remarks about those with whom she disagrees,

Dear President Obama:

You are the thirteenth President under whom I have lived and unlike any of the others, you truly scare me. I am an old man and everything is scary to me.

You scare me because after months of exposure, I know nothing about you. Why haven’t you asked me for my advice. Bush and Raygun did. What’s up with you?

You scare me because I do not know how you paid for your expensive Ivy League education and your upscale lifestyle and housing with no visible signs of support. How did a black kid without money get in there anyway? I’m gonna have someone write a letter to someone about that.

You scare me because you did not spend the formative years of youth growing up in America and culturally you are not an American. Are you a Socialistical Muslimist?

You scare me because you have never run a company or met a payroll. Because the last guy ran a few companies. Well, ran them into the ground, but that is irrelevant. You’re not like us and we can’t figure out how to own you.

You scare me because you have never had military experience, thus don’t understand it at its core. Again, look at the last guy. At least he went AWOL on cocaine binges after his wealthy connected family connections got him a cush deal in the NG. Ok, he completely fucked us up by going into Iraq, but he served his time, well most of his time.

You scare me because you lack humility and ‘class’, always blaming others. You never hear my side blaming Clinton or Carter, the two biggest commies the world has ever seen, for America’s problems do you? We never talk **** about FDR either so screw you, you’re not even a real American anyway. Darn Kenyan.

You scare me because for over half your life you have aligned yourself with radical extremists who hate America and you refuse to publicly denounce these radicals who wish to see America fail. And I don’t count the times you actually did publicly denounce those radicals as times when you publicly denounce those radicals. That would ruin my talking point. Can’t do that, wouldn’t be prudent.

You scare me because you are a cheerleader for the ‘blame America’ crowd and deliver this message abroad. What’s with all this truth telling, Obama. They know what we did, it doesn’t help anything to admit it. In fact it’s way better to deny everything. Never got caught with another woman I imagine, huh. Well let me tell you, deny deny deny, that’s my motto.

You scare me because you want to change America to a European style country where the government sector dominates instead of the private sector. I don’t really believe that, but the Great gop Head thought it would be a nice touch.

You scare me because you want to replace our health care system with a government controlled one. How the **** are the CEO’s gonna get millions upon millions and even billions of dollars in bonuses if we can’t deny them healthcare? Deny a $10,000.00 test, that’s $10,000.00 we get to keep in our pockets. Duh. You do know, don’t you Barack, that we are not in the healthcare business for our health, right?

You scare me because you prefer ‘windmills’ to responsibly capitalizing on our own vast oil, coal and shale reserves. What are we Dutch? Oh yeah, many of us actually are. I think that New York name might have come from there, but I digress. We have enough oil and coal to supply us with 6% more of our needs and we’d make a **** load of money doing it by selling on the world market and that windmill idea will only make jobs making windmills because the wind is free. How are we supposed to make money off that?

You scare me because you want to kill the American capitalist goose that lays the golden egg which provides the highest standard of living in the world. Just look at what the goose has laid in the last few years. Why would you want to change that?

You scare me because you have begun to use ‘extortion’ tactics against certain banks and corporations. You naive man, banks and corporations run America, not the government. Get real dude.

You scare me because your own political party shrinks from challenging you on your wild and irresponsible spending proposals. And my party is just shrinking. Damn, I wish I were you.

You scare me because you will not openly listen to or even consider opposing points of view from intelligent people. Like just how many republicans have you appointed to be part of your administration, huh?

You scare me because you falsely believe that you are both omnipotent and omniscient. Ya gotta give me that one. I’m running out of projections to hurl. Come on now.

You scare me because the media gives you a free pass on everything you do. They are only supposed to give free passes on phony yellow cake and WMD lies. It’s like you are getting a honeymoon or something. Like you have only been in office for a few months and don’t have a presidential record to evaluate yet.

You scare me because you demonize and want to silence the Limbaughs, Hannitys, O’Relllys and Becks who offer opposing, conservative points of view. They all get multimillion dollar pay checks. If they get silenced they still need to get paid. Personally, I’d love to see that O’Reilly get his, that falafel pervert bugs the **** out of me. But ya gotta love the new guy Beck. So sane, so thoughtful in his delivery. Such great fact checking. Just the facts, no over the top whiny emotionalism like you see on Lou Dobbs. And how can you go off on a guy who is deaf because he was so addicted to drugs that he doctor shopped using his maid as a mule? Have you no heart? He is our Great gop Head who commands apologies from those who trespass against him. I’d tread lightly around him. Lord know he can’t. And Hannity, whatever.

You scare me because you prefer controlling over governing. Next thing ya know you’ll be giving parking ticket to people in San Diego. How is it that you believe the president can just say stuff and it has to be done. Who do you think you are, a bush?

Finally, you scare me because if you serve a second term I will probably not feel safe in writing a similar letter in 8 years. My wife thought a nice Nazi flourish at the end would really zing it home, whadda ya think? Too much?

Anyway, call me. Let’s have lunch.

Lou Pritchett is one of corporate America's living legends--an acclaimed author, dynamic teacher, and highly rated speaker. He is recognized worldwide as the foremost leader in change management. As the individual who created the concept of "Partnering," he revolutionized the way America does business. His boundless emphasis on putting people first and other down-to-earth values helped Lou rise from traveling soap salesperson to Vice-President of World Sales at corporate giant Procter & Gamble. Over the course of 36 years, he became the "Agent of Change," making sure P&G's success would continue in the future. He even spent three years in Manila as President of the corporation's Philippines subsidiary. In 1987, Lou boldly engineered an adventuresome partnership between two corporate titans. He talked Sam Walton, founder and chairperson of Wal-Mart, into a canoe ride on the rapids of the Spring River in Arkansas. By the end of the ride, they agreed to change the way America did business. Pritchett believes that the absence of customer-supplier trust and integrated systems will be the leading cause of business failure and bankruptcy. In the new game, which will be played in the new century, companies that continue the traditional 'we sell & you buy' relationship will find costs soaring and difficulties gaining an audience with future decision makers. After his retirement in 1989, Sam Walton and a New York agent encouraged Lou to begin spreading the Gospel of Change. Since then, he has become one of America's most popular speakers on customer partnering, change management, the impact of information technology, and the importance of a strong work force. In addition, he authored the acclaimed book, Stop Paddling & Start Rocking the Boat (Harper Collins, 1995). His presentations, always delivered with humor and enthusiasm, have inspired long-established Fortune 500 companies and upstart entrepreneurs alike. Ralston Purina, Anheuser-Busch, Whirlpool, and The Harvard Group are just a few of the many that have learned from Lou how to survive and succeed in this world of global economic revolution.

You realize this is exactly the ind of thing that Fox loves right? It's yet another things that allows her to address her arguments to the nameless "liberals," and convieniantly act so offended.

Well Wandel took the bait beautifully.

You're not very quick on the up-take, are ya, McWhitey? It's the hypocrisy involved in her constant remarks about "people on the left," what i referred to as the invidious remarks--it is that, followed by the poor, poor pitiful me routine which makes me retch.

Once again, Fox, the great whiner about personal attacks (as she claims they are) takes more sideswipes at those with whom she disagrees. We expect no less.

You are of course welcome to think whatever you like about me and my opinions.

Well, you are surely an expert in hypocrisy, so I will take your word for it. I mean who else would complain about someone else complaining about personal attacks while making a personal attack?

Should I thank you for allowing me to actually have an opinion?

How ever many "millions" of listeners Rush may have, it is insignificant when measured against the voting public. For you or anyone to think he holds any influence to a majority is again, ignorant based upon the facts.

I do not buy into this argument regarding "American Conservatism" or "American Liberalism". To me, those are only labels each side pastes against themselves to shield their extreme point of view from the dim witted.

As an example, look at the recent defeat in California for tax increases. For years, California was labeled as a "liberal" State. Yet, I hear so called Conservative now using that defeat to champion their positions.

The simple fact is that the voters have finally said enough is enough to failed policies by State Govt. That is not a conservative or liberal position. That is just plain old common sense.

So what qualifications do you have to justify your criticism of him?

What you you offer to show that you know more than he knows? By what authority do you presume to judge him?

What has he said that you can show not to be the truth?

How would this be a problem, TKO? That's one fox that ain't about to change its spots.
