NATURAL BORN KILLERS

“The American people, taking one with another, constitute the most sniveling, poltroonish, ignominious mob of serfs and goose-steppers ever gathered under the flag in Christendom since the end of the Middle Ages.”
-- H. L. Mencken, “Prejudices,” 1922


“In Huckabee Joke, Gun Aims at Obama

By Elisabeth Bumiller
and Sarah Wheaton

LOUISVILLE, Ky. –Mike Huckabee, the former Arkansas governor, was known for his sense of humor on the presidential campaign trail, but on Friday he startled listeners with his latest improvisation, an imagined gun pointed at Senator Barack Obama. Speaking at the annual convention of the National Rifle Association here, Mr. Huckabee, a Republican, was interrupted by a loud noise from backstage. ‘That was Barack Obama,’ he said. ‘He just tripped off a chair. He’s getting ready to speak and somebody aimed a gun at him and he – he dove for the floor.’” (New York Times, Saturday, May 17, 2008)

What a card. I mean that is so funny. Ha! Ha! The article went on to say that “his remark prompted some murmurs from the crowd.” Wow, murmurs from this crowd? Even these rubes can recognize an unconscionable remark by an educated, well maybe, idiot. But it shouldn’t be surprising that a man of ignorance can run for president, since our brave Commander-in-Chief at present fits this profile to a T. Move over Alfred E. Newman; “what, me worry,” or should I say, “not so curious,” George is at your service.

The Ann Arbor News reported yesterday that one of Michigan’s proudest sons, Erik Prince, founder of Blackwater Worldwide was in Grand Rapids “to shed some light Monday on the activities of his company, which is being investigated following a deadly September shooting that left 17 Iraqi civilians dead, saying [Blackwater] hadn’t lost a client in more than 18,000 personal-security missions.” Since we all know that non-Americans don’t count as human beings, it’s good to know no one has died on Blackwater’s watch.

I’m surprised the patriot in Prince didn’t move him to fly a squadron of jumbo transports into Louisville. He could’ve loaded up the Huckabee (sounds like a good name for the next line of Hum-vees, yea, that’s it, the Hucker, soon we’ll all be driving ‘em, maybe the hybrid Hucker, or, mother hucker) and the rest of those gun-toting flag wavers and dropped ‘em off in Anbar province. Problem is, these drugstore cowboys might have a problem with an enemy that wants to die. That’s a difference these John Wayne, Hollywood wannabees don’t seem to understand. While they may be WILLING to die for their country, these guys WANT to die for Allah. Praise God!

The News went on to say “Security was particularly tight for the [Grand Rapids] event.” What’s the deal? Did this coward think he would be attacked by a cell of peaceniks wielding thorny snap dragons? Or perhaps he feared an assault on his flank by a brigade of Tiny Tims manning scalding cappuccino catapults.

When asked about the Sept 16th shooting deaths of the civilians, Prince had this to say,” “If we don’t serve our customers they fire us.” It’s the American way, people, the customer's always right. You’ll love this, when asked to show compelling evidence that Blackwater is not a “cloak-and-dagger operation with something to hide,” Prince’s response was, “The idea that we are a secretive facility and nefarious is just ridiculous.” Okay Eric, we believe you.

As soon as the same-sex wedding ban is overturned in Michigan, I think Eric Prince and Richard Thomas should get married. The newlyweds could honeymoon at Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore.
