BREAKING NEWS: Dissent No Longer Patriotic

My, how times have Changed™.

While Conservatives endured eight years of venom and vitriol spewed at the erstwhile President Bush by Keith Olbermann, Bill Maher, Rosie O'Donnell, and the gaggle of leftoid hack Hollywood "entertainers" -- including, but hardly limited to, all sorts of idiotic charges that Bush was trying to stifle free speech (this, while incessantly whining about Bush for two full terms...) -- the New Bizarro-World Order is here, and with it our patriotic duty to blindly and unconditionally support our new clean-and-articulate Savior-President no matter how much his policies of HopeChange™ may turn our stomachs. Yes, the new era of "bipartisanship" is upon us, where we put aside our "petty grievances", shut our fucking pieholes, and do as we're told. This nuBipartisanship is defined as such: Republicans will abandon their core principles, bend over and take one up the ass because, as Dear Leader succinctly puts it, "I won."

Alas, a new standard has been foisted upon us; it is now ordained that any criticism of our new Savior-President is unacceptable, especially to those who for years have proudly proclaimed that "dissent is patriotic." Apparently, the first heretic to be burned at the stake will be Rush Limbaugh. Less than two weeks after his inauguration deification, our Savior-President and his disciples have called out Rush for committing heresy against The Church of Obamunism. Rush's crime: Hoping that Obama fails. In response, our Savior-President has issued a fatwah to Republicans instructing them to "stop listening to Rush" (as if they're going to finally start listening to him now...). As if on cue, the Disciples proffer a petition to "repudiate" the infidel, and the media salvos have have begun.

Well, boo-fucking-hoo. I don't recall Bush ever singling out any of of his vocal media critics by name, ostensibly to silence them. In the formerly rational world, this would have seemed... I don't know, unpresidential? Certainly sophomoric.

Among the acts of support we saw during the Bush years were the useful idiot Cindy Sheehan camped out on Bush's front lawn; movies depicting the assassination of Bush; calls for Bush's daughters to be sent to die in Iraq; and shoes thrown at Bush by some Bathist wingnut. All such displays of "courage" were met with applause from the moonbat left... but, more importantly, they were also met without recrimination by the alleged Fascist dictator. I suppose it's easy to be "courageous" when you know nothing will happen to you, sort of like poking a caged grizzly with a long stick. How brave. Try throwing shoes at your beloved Hugo or Fidel, see how that works out for you.

But back to Rush: He says he hopes Obama fails. So fucking what? So do I. Call me a cynic, but when shrill Leftoids voiced opposition to every initiative presented by Bush -- tax cuts, privatizing Social Security, judicial appointments, liberating millions of Muslims from Islamofascist oppression -- well, for some reason I doubt this opposition was really all in hope that Bush would succeed. Unless, of course, said shrill opposition was in fact merely support carefully couched in that famous Liberal nuance that, as a Conservative and a neo-Texan, I'm too stoopid and narrowminded to comprehend. I don't recall the nonpartisan Speaker-Overlord working to implement Bush's policies just because "he won," nor do I recall Bush instructing Democrats to stop listening to the Daily Kos and MoveON.org.

Would it be prudent, then, to expect Liberals all over America to now scrape those stupid "Dissent Is Patriotic" bumper stickers off their shitty Volvos and Priuses? Or did I miss the clause in the First Amendment that grants the right to free expression solely to moonbat Liberals? Maybe it's in the unabridged version of the Bill of Rights that only the high priests of the Church of Obama are allowed to read.

HopeChange™, you unpatriotic infidels.

Movin' On Up!

First day on the job, and our Articulate and Clean President is already busy bringing about the "renewal" and "reconciliation" he spoke about just a day before in his inaugural address.

From the WhiteHouse.gov web site:

President Obama will keep the broken promises made by President Bush to rebuild New Orleans and the Gulf Coast. He and Vice President Biden will take steps to ensure that the federal government will never again allow such catastrophic failures in emergency planning and response to occur.

President Obama swiftly responded to Hurricane Katrina. Citing the Bush Administration's "unconscionable ineptitude" in responding to Hurricane Katrina, then-Senator Obama introduced legislation requiring disaster planners to take into account the specific needs of low-income hurricane victims. Obama visited thousands of Hurricane survivors in the Houston Convention Center and later took three more trips to the region. He worked with members of the Congressional Black Caucus to introduce legislation to address the immediate income, employment, business, and housing needs of Gulf Coast communities.

President Barack Obama will partner with the people of the Gulf Coast to rebuild now, stronger than ever.

Curiously, there is no mention of any "unconscionable ineptitude" on the part of the Mayor of Chocolate City, or any other of the myriad Democrats one would encounter if one bothered to climb the ladder of responsibility from the Local and State governments before ever reaching the Federal level.

Memo to all Obamunists: Fuck you. For all of Bush's faults, he left office with dignity and class. None of the "O" keys were missing from keyboards, I'll wager. No vandalism or anti-Obama graffiti either. I'm certain that the Bush staff left the White House in far better condition than they found it in January 2001. What a pleasant change from the way you dickless leftoids execute a Presidential transition.

And what in return? It didn't take but a day for you to show us what the next 4 years promise: cheap shots, rhetoric, and venom. So that's how it's going to be? Fine. You set the rules; I'll just play by them. Don't look to me for goodwill when it's clearly a one-way street. Others may pray that your boy president succeeds for the sake of the nation. Not me. I pray that he fails; that his failures are monumental; and that those who elected him (i.e., you) suffer most of all. You keep comparing this Socialist asshole to Lincoln; I'll keep hoping he shares Lincoln's fate. How's that for reconciliation?

But hey... I'm just an angry white racist. Velociman says it with much more eloquence and class than I could ever hope to muster.

Okay. I was giving the man his day, his year, his administration. A faint breeze of circumspection had been wafting across his bow for a couple of weeks. I was going to shut the fuck up and exhibit the class the left has been incapable of showing since 1968. No more.

Fuck him. That dandy, that piebald pimp. And his rat shack wife, who was strolling down Pennsylvania Avenue today incomprehensibly dressed like one of the terra cotta soldiers from the Imperial Tombs of China exhibit. Only with a fatter ass. And snappers that looked like they could chomp through a cocoanut. How often has Obama regretted those marital banns, one wonders?

HopeChange™, you low-rent fucking scumbags.
