The Audacity of Impertinent Questions!

How has Auntie adjusted to being back in Kenya?


Satire By John W. Lillpop

Despite indications that the main stream media are committed to granting President-elect Obama a four year moratorium on tough questions, with a four year option to renew, there are some with sufficient audacity to ask impertinent questions right from the get go.

A few of my favorites.

Mr. President:

During the campaign, you requested that a special prosecutor look into charges of voter fraud by ACORN. When can we expect arrests, and will any of your staff or family be implicated?

When will your response to Iranian president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's letter be released to the public?

How is Auntie adjusting to her new life in Kenya? When was she deported from America?

Given your strong support for public schools and teacher's unions, which local public school will you daughters attend?

What plans do you have for redistributing YOUR wealth to less fortunate family members? Like your half brother and Auntie in Kenya?

With so many Clintonistas joining your administration, is the word CHANGE no longer in vogue?

With same-sex proponents on a national rampage in response to free and open elections that did not go their way, do you plan to make acceptance of gay marriage a major element in your CHANGE template? Perhaps to be announced during your first State of the Union address?

Is Rohm Emanuel really the best man to be Chief of Staff in the "post-partisan" era?

When do you plan to invade Pakistan? Before or after you surrender in Iraq?

Does the Democrat Party no longer consider campaign finance reform a major priority? Is the fact that you raised $650 million dollars a factor?

As president-elect can't you unilaterally veto plans to invade your space--like for instance, your mother-in-law's plans to live in the White House?

Thank you, Mr. President-elect!

What Exactly Are They Protesting?

By John W. Lillpop

On November 4, California voters passed Proposition 8, thereby adding the following language to the state constitution:

"Only marriage between a man and a woman is valid or recognized in California."

Those 14 hate-filled, Nazi-inspired, homophobic words of discrimination and bigotry have caused a major kerfuffel in California as thousands of marchers have taken to the streets to express their outrage.

In particular, protesters have targeted the Mormon Church for that church's financial and political support for Prop. 8.

Protesters are threatening to create a national firestorm as they congregate, shout, and DEMAND!

Demand what?

The right to vote in free and open elections?

That free and open elections be banned when the results do not suit their minuscule minority and its agenda?

Free speech and other rights set forth in the Bill of Rights?

An end to discrimination against gays in housing, employment, and education?

The right to enter into relationships with same sex partners openly and freely, without being harassed by straight citizens and governments?

A Constitutional ban on any religious expression which holds that homosexual behavior is sinful?

Or are protesters demanding that an unwilling American public be forced to accept the notion that gay marriage is a right, the infringement of which constitutes a civil rights evil on a par with slavery and Jim Crow laws?

Instead of protesting against religious expression, the protesters should actually take their signs and threats of violence to the headquarters of La Raza and NAACP to demand that those tax-exempt organizations convince Latinos and African-Americans that same-sex marriage is indeed a "civil rights" issue.

And why not work to convince the most liberal man ever elected to the U.S. presidency to include acceptance of gay marriage in his CHANGE agenda?

After all, President-elect Obama has been very clear: He is opposed to same-sex marriage!

Confessions of a Proud Conservative American

By John W. Lillpop

(Whisper)

Can we talk privately--off the record as they say in the news business?

You won't repeat what I am about to share with you? Promise?

I have a deep, dark secret that has been festering within me for well over a week now. It is driving me mad--or madder, according to my doctor and the local pharmacist.

You see I am a hard core conservative. Die-in-the-wool, Reaganite. To the right of Atilla the Hun.

Lower taxes, school vouchers, strong defense, and patriotism with a capital P.

Which means that I always vote Republican. Always--even when the GOP ticket is headed by a candidate with whom I disagree on many issues, as was the case in 2008.

So, naturally, I voted for John McCain on November 4th, although he is not, in my opinion, a real conservative.

As the election returns started pouring in on election night, it became clear early on that Barack Obama was going to be the 44th president of the United States.

Which is not the result that I was hoping for.

However, as the evening proceeded, I found myself rejoicing, silently, over the fact that America had elected an African-American to the presidency.

Mind you, I did not, would not, could not, vote for Obama. Not because of his race, but because of his policies which I find wrong headed and dangerous.

Still, it seems to that Obama's victory was much larger than liberal or conservative, Democrat or Republican.

Partisan politics be damned, at least for one night.

This was America at her very best! Land of the free, home of the brave and the greatest nation in the history of the human species.

Those facts were confirmed for all the world to see on November 4th.

Again, I rue Obama's election because of his politics.

Still, I thrill at the sight of African-Americans swelled with pride and walking with a livelier bounce in their steps because of Barack Obama.

I am very proud of America for electing an African-American. I only wish that our first black president were a conservative, like Alan Keyes.

Nonetheless, Barack Obama will be our 44th president and I congratulate him and wish him all the best--until the mid-term elections in 2010, that is!

Hang Tough, W.!

By John W. Lillpop

President Bush is coming under considerable pressure from his successor and the Democrat leadership in the U.S. Congress to pass out duplicate keys to the U.S. Treasury for use by a variety of special interest groups to whom the Democrat party is indebted.

First and foremost, Democrats want to bail out labor unions who, by negotiating outrageous wage and benefits packages, have all destroyed the Big Three auto makers.

Of course, liberals will argue that it is the auto industry, not the unions, that needs financial help.

Fine, then let us get corrupt, greedy labor leaders off the backs of GM, Ford, and Chrysler, and off the backs of the autoworkers who are the real victims of union malfeasance!

Unfortunately, instead of dealing with the real causes, Majority Leader Harry Reid prefers to shell out billions more in new emergency loans.**

What emergency might be next?

Three mayors—Michael Nutter of Philadelphia, Shirley Franklin of Atlanta and Phil Gordon of Phoenix—have requested that funds be sent their way to cover up for mayoral mismanagement in their municipalities.

More: Faced with a $28 billion budget shortfall, Governor Schwarzenegger is also looking to Washington, D.C. for a handout to paper over his failed governance.

Why not just "terminate" the $10 billion that California wastes each and every year on illegal aliens, Arnold? That would at least be a start in the right direction.

Others waiting in line for federal welfare assistance include American Express and General Electric Company.

Where and when will all of this fiscal insanity end?

One can hope that, this time, the bucks will stop at the desk of President George W. Bush, at least until the afternoon of January 20.

As a savvy politician, W. must know that liberals want his finger prints indelibly smeared on each and every bail out dollar surrendered to Detroit and other beggars in waiting.

That way, when things implode even further, Obama, Pelosi, and Reid can point to Crawford, Texas and the erstwhile president as the culprit.

Alternatively, should things go well, count on Democrats to pat themselves on the back for "forcing George W. Bush to act responsibly."

It is, alas, a non-win situation, Mr. President!

Which means that doing what is right is the right thing to do: Just say NO, Mr. President!

Remember, Democrats are on a fool's mission: Let them sink or swim in their own wrong-minded Marxism!

Hang tough, W.!

Governor Palin: One Classy Lady and Great American!

By John W. Lillpop

Who would blame Governor Sarah Palin if she were an angry white female after being used as a punching bag and scapegoat during the 2008 election?

However, the governor has recovered from the unfair attacks and bruises of the election campaign and, rather than holding a bitter partisan grudge, has shown great class and patriotism by offering to help President-elect Barack Obama in any way she can.

"It would be my honor to assist and support our new president and the new administration," said Palin in a report filed on CNN.com.**

The governor paid tribute to President-elect Barack Obama, saying she wishes him "well as the 44th president of the United States. If he governs with the skill, and the grace, and the greatness of which he is capable, we're going to be just fine."***

Governor Palin also wisely commented on the proposed expansion of the bail out package to auto makers and other companies by saying, "We're hearing now more talk of additional taxpayer bailouts ... for companies, for corporations, perhaps even states now who may be standing in line with their hands out despite, perhaps, some poor management decisions on their part that helped tank our economy," she said.

Americans owe a debt of gratitude to Governor Sarah Palin for putting campaign bitterness behind her and rallying behind Barack Obama, President-elect of these great United States.

Governor Palin really understands democracy and what it means to be an American. She will be heard from, and loudly, in the years ahead!
