Other than giving McCain money, I'm not sure what else to do; but Americans need at least four more years of the George H.W. Bush gang to learn a most important lesson. This is not tongue-in-cheek. I mean every word of it. I do not want the idiots who supported Bush and his lies to benefit from Barack Obama's visions and love of country. I would much rather see the United States slide into a 1929 type of depression. Americans have grown fat, arrogant, and heartless, and nothing known to science can cure that mentality better than total humiliation and severe depression. The suicides of Generation X would make the 4,000 dead soldiers look even more insignificant than they already are.

It was only after seeing the sheer number of dull-witted, illiterate people in Ohio and Pennsylvania who were worried about Barack Obama not wearing a flag pin in his lapel, not putting his hand on the Bible, and having Hussein as his middle name that I realized Bush was right. Gas at $5 or even $10 a gallon is too cheap for these people. When you stop to think about it, Bush is only complying with the law of the land "Never give a sucker an even break."

The type of mentality exposed during the Ohio and Pennsylvania primaries cannot be governed, it must be herded. Watching these people being interviewed was like watching an autistic child trying to explain the fundamentals of algebra.

While working in the back alleys and sewers of the US federal government requires one to do a lot of ungodly things, there are times when having a license to kill gives you a feeling of being godlike. Going through some boxes in storage, I found a letter from an associate of mine who shared this interesting story with me about one of his off-duty jobs.

Dear Bob: Since I had nothing in particular to do until my next assignment, I decided to tour the Appalachian Mountains, having heard you talk so much about the beautiful scenery and the people in this area being more comical than a barrel of monkeys.

Oil prices up on word US ship fired on boats in Persian Gulf

The news was enough to send light, sweet crude for June delivery up to $119.55 before the contract retreated to settle up $2.46 at $118.52 a barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange.

The thugs, George W. Bush, Dick Cheney, and their cohorts are pushing really hard. It's doubtful that there's enough courage left in the World to hang them, but you never know.

While Obama, Clinton, and McCain tell their flag-waving supporters about what a wonderful country we have and they all sing out "God Bless America", these politicians know, if the others don't, that at that very moment evil is taking place in Guantanamo Prison and in a half dozen other prisons as it did in Abu Ghraib.

Let us all be grateful that this Jehovah, like Allah, is only a paper god, because a god who went to the trouble to carve the Ten Commandments in stone would make it clear to us that it was not the Ten Suggestions that Moses brought down from Mount Sinai.

Where was the mystery in how the presidential primary would turn out in Pennsylvania? Do these people want change? Are you kidding, they are scared to death of the word change. No better example of their small minds is the fact they hate NAFTA, but voted for one whose husband is on Colombia's NAFTA payroll, not to mention her campaign manager's efforts in behalf of NAFTA. They say their number one concern is the economy still they voted for Clinton whose campaign is not only broke, but in debt while her opponent has a surplus. Bush and Cheney herded them like sheep in 2000 and 2004, but neither Bush nor Cheney is black and neither of them is stuck with the name Hussein.

It's amazing how neo-conservatives will label you a liberal the moment you disagree even slightly with them. Being a Republican and having a large website, I am asked almost daily, "Why are most Republicans so belligerent and arrogant?"

There have been several studies done on this subject. I've read at least three such studies done by leaders in the field of social behavior and, without exception, the conclusion has been "Fascist Mentality". The fascist concept of the State is all-embracing; outside of it no human or spiritual values can exist, much less have value.

"I don't hate predators. If there weren't hawks in this country, those in other countries would show up here. Do not misinterpret Hawk to mean I approve of George W. Bush and Richard Cheney and their Hermann Goering protégés in the Pentagon. Bush is a mouth and a pen; he's in a different league altogether than his vice president. Cheney is a vulgar, immoral, sadistic subhuman."

"With pomp and grandeur you parade your selection of omnipotence pass where I stand to center stage as if I were not there. What has this little boy of Mine done that warrants you kneeling and honoring him so? You carefully adjust his robe and provide him with nourishment leaving me to look after Myself.

"Today I waited for you to give this holy one of yours a handful of dirt and ask him to make you a child or even a mustard seed out of it. What has this holy man done that you have witnessed that I haven't?

We print pictures of George Washington on our money, we hang his picture in our state and federal buildings, and throughout our school systems we teach the history of George Washington. Yet, when the Continental Army under George Washington was deserting because they had little food, arms, and the situation looked as if it couldn't get much worse, it was not Washington, Adams, Franklin or Jefferson who provided the faith and money needed to carry on--it was Thomas Paine.
