Don't question Obama's patriotism

Don't question Barack Obama's patriotism. Ignore the fact that a recent campaign stop in Londonderry, New Hampshire, had scheduled a high school senior, Zach Bencal, to sing the National Anthem. Then canceled the National Anthem to make room for something more important:

Bencal, who sings the anthem for a number of school events and is actively involved in local community theatre, had been contacted by the Obama campaign to sing the anthem. He agreed to do so, then was told later in the evening the anthem had been scratched from the program. Bencal said he was told by the campaign the decision was a simple programming change to make room for another speaker.

Even though the National Anthem isn't that important to him, don't question his patriotism. Ignore the Senator not putting his hand over his heart during the playing of the National Anthem during an Indianola, Iowa, campaign stop: Despite that, don't question his patriotism. Ignore his long history with terrorists such as Bill Ayers, who bombed NYC police headquarters, the Pentagon, and the U.S. Capitol. The same Bill Ayers in whose living room Obama held one of his first ever campaign appearances. The same Bill Ayers who served on boards with Obama. The same Bill Ayers who lives in the same neighborhood as Obama. The same Bill Ayers who has exchanged hundreds of thousands of dollars with Obama. But don't question Obama's patriotism. So, I won't. But, if you're voting for Barack Obama, I'm questioning yours.

A Liberal History

Hello. I'm Church Wardhill. I'm a professor of Pseudo-American Studies at the University of Aztlan. And in this political season ... this election season ... I believe with all my ... being ... that we are in a national crisis, facing a major crossroad. And the decisions we make will impact this flawed nation of ours for weeks, even months, to come. What do we do? Look to the past. Because we must learn from history. The Nazi .. I mean, Republican ... Party has nominated George Bush's evil twin, John McCain, and that harpy, Sarah Palin, to be president and vice president. People forget that Pontius Palin ... a governor ... sentenced community organizer Jesus H. Obama -- that's "Jesus," which is the Arabic, um, Aramaic ... wait, I mean, Greek ... name for "Barack" -- to death. To death!! Nobody deserves to die! Except a fetus. And that's what we'd get if McCain and Palin win! Death! And not for fetuses. But for good people, who shouldn't die, like murderers and child rapists. We must learn from history! And not just from things that happened millions of years ago. But in recent history. Like the American Civil War. The U.S. had just come out of the war with France, and the newly-formed Republican Party had introduced slavery to this nation. And the South ... that hot-bed of evil ... declared war on the United States after a Democrat, Abraham Lincoln, was elected president. The Republicans, led by Jefferson Davis McCain (the founder of Halliburton) split off from the country after kidnapping all the African-Americans and forcing them to work in the cotton fields, taking all the jobs previously done by the Mexicans. It was a long and bloody war, with right-wing religious zealots ... Methodists ... driving their horse and buggies into buildings, killing millions and millions of Americans. Our great American president, Abraham -- that's a Jewish name, meaning "Barack" -- Lincoln, a two-term Democrat, led the Americans to victory. And without a war. He talked and talked until the South surrendered. But, after the war ... I mean negotiations ... Confederate vice president John Wilkes Bush, a Republican, murdered Lincoln while he was watching a movie. The Republicans continued to terrorize America, following the Civil War, all throughout the 17th, 18th, and 19th centuries. In the 1960s, the country was again at war. Peace-loving students were bombing administration buildings at college campuses all across the nation. But, in the South, George Wallace, Georgia's Republican governor, killed Dr. Martin Luther King and Bobby Kennedy, plunging the nation into the Vietnam War. And this path of war has continued in the years since. After Jimmy Carter ended the Vietnam War, Republican Ronald Reagan took us to war with Iraq. His vice president, George Bush, continues that war to this day. The evils perpetrated upon this flawed country of ours by the Republicans must not be forgotten. They must, in fact, be remembered. And remembered in this way. We must avoid the mistakes of the past. We must elect Barack J. Obama as our next Führer ... I mean president ... so he can lead us out of bondage. And into a Brave New World. Thank you.

I enjoy the lolcatz. And I really enjoy Harvey's lolterizt posts. I'm trying to learn how to do those. Funny, I mean. Any old loser can slap a lame caption on a lame picture. So, I'm asking your your help. With it being political season ... as opposed to wabbit season or duck season ... I'd like to do some lolpix of a political nature. I only lack one thing: talent. So, I'm asking for your suggestions. Come up with a better caption. Funny would be good. True would be good. Funny-true would be fabulous.
