Chip's Corner Archives - "Illness and Fatigue"

I’ve reached the conclusion that I’m suffering from illness and fatigue – I’m getting sick and tired of a lot of things…

I’m getting sick and tired of the kooks like Michael Newdow who would like to have every vestige of Christianity removed from America. People like Newdow seem to think that somehow the US Constitution was written to rid society of religion, and as I stated last week, that could not be more untrue – the Constitution gave us freedom of religion, not freedom from it. If these atheistic twerps think that Washington, Jefferson, Adams et al, would approve of their actions of trying to strip away our religious heritage from all walks of life, then they must be on hallucinogenic drugs.

I’m getting sick and tired of all the negative press concerning Iraq. Don’t get me wrong - I don’t think that we should sugarcoat reality by ignoring the negative, but it would be nice if papers like the New York Times could get off their Bush-bashing agenda just long enough to print something other than casualties, insurgencies and explosions. Yeah, I know good news doesn’t sell newspapers, but even printing a fraction of the good news coming out of Iraq because of our presence there would go a long way toward boosting the morale of US military personnel stationed in Iraq; not to mention helping to give a more balanced point of view for not only US readers, but also for all those other nations’ citizens that the NYT seems so concerned about. Balance? What am I thinking about – we’re talking about the New York Times, for crying out loud.

I’m sick and tired of millionaire leftists like Michael Moore, Barbara Streisand, George Soros and others continuing to spread their vile hatred of America and its capitalistic system, while at the same time continuing to rake in millions for themselves. Apparently while wishing us to live austerely, giving up our SUV’s for Yugos (or whatever the latest tin-can deathtrap is), they see themselves as some sort of royalty, entitled to live luxurious lives unfettered by that which they would impose on the rest of us “little people”.

I’m sick and tired of the “Sore Losermans” who just can’t seem to get it through their pointy little heads that Bush won this election – and the last one as well. Certainly there’s more to life than engaging in all manner of bizarre conspiracy theories. In order to believe these whacko’s, one would have to believe that there was a nationwide conspiracy of such magnitude, that it would require the cooperation of hundreds of thousands of people nationwide, who had never even met before, nor heard of each other to make it happen. Indeed, belief would require such a suspension of reality, that believing that OJ was framed is a very small leap by comparison.

I’m sick and tired of the United Nations, and Kofi Annan. If there exists a more corrupt, anti-American organization in this galaxy, I’ve yet to hear of it.

I’m sick and tired of the double standards of the left when it comes to matters of race. The recent Senate committee hearing on Condoleezza Rice comes to mind. Hearing Barbara Boxer attack Condi with a barrage of nastiness normally reserved for door-to-door vacuum cleaner salesmen, Boxer was doing her best to punish Rice for not being aligned with liberal Democrats. If this had been Jesse Helms pillorying a liberal Black woman, the left would have been screaming “racist” faster than Michael Moore can devour a pepperoni pizza. It’s apparently very disturbing to Boxer and John Kerry when black people think for themselves, and are unwilling to remain on the Democrat plantation.

Finally, I’m sick to death of being called “intolerant” by those who promote “diversity”. No, I’m not tolerant when homosexuality is being pushed as a “healthy lifestyle” at third graders, I’m not tolerant of those who would open our borders to every Pedro, Juan and Muhammed who crosses over, and I’m not tolerant of those who claim Islam is a “religion of peace” while saying that Christians are “infidels”. The problem is that the ones calling folks like me “intolerant”, seem amazingly intolerant when someone else disagrees with them. I guess for them, “diversity” is only good when everyone thinks like them.
