Normally, I start these things out by saying 'My Fellow Americans.' Not doing it this time. If the media polls are any true indication, I don't know who more than half of you are anymore. I do know something terrible has happened, and that many of you are really not fellow Americans any longer.
I'll cut right to the chase here: I quit. I know I'm close to the end but it I've had it with you morons. Its simple. I'm fed up because you have no commitment, no resolve, and after all this time you don't get it. You don't want to understand what's going on in the world or of what's going on in this once-great nation of ours. The majority of you are too darned lazy to do your homework and figure it out. You believe what you want to believe and ignore the facts. Let's start local. You've been sold a load of BS by politicians and the news media. Polls show that the majority of you think the economy is in the tank. That's despite record numbers of homeowners, including record numbers of MINORITY homeowners. And while we're mentioning minorities, I'll point out that minority business ownership is at an all-time high. Our unemployment rate is as low as it ever was during the Clinton administration. There is no housing crisis, 97% of all mortgages are paid on time. All the hysteria is the product of irreponsible banks putting themselves in a bad position and the media and Democrats using it as an election year scare tactic. I've mentioned all those things before, but it doesn't seem to have sunk in. And I'm the dumb one...
Despite the shock to our economy of 9/11, the stock market has rebounded to record levels and more Americans than ever are participating in these markets. Meanwhile, all you can do is whine about gas prices. Most of you are too darn stupid to do a little homework to realize that gas prices are high because there's increased demand in other parts of the world, and because a small handful of noisy idiots are more worried about polar bears and beachfront property than your economic security. A little history you ignore is that this planet has heated and cooled in cycles for billions of years and the polar bears are still here. When you are out buying your tree to offset your carbon footprint consider that humans account for only 5% of all CO2 emissions. Yep, check your internet for the facts. The majority of CO2 emissions are the product of decaying leaves from the trees you are buying. By the way, is that tree you bought converting more CO2 to oxygen than before you bought it? How does it offset your other CO2 emissions exactly? Someone is taking your money and you are too stupid to know it. You probably have family who bought swampland in florida too.
Meanwhile, we face real threats in the world. Don't give me this 'blood for oil' thing. If I were trading blood for oil I would've already seized Iraq's oil fields and let the rest of the country go to hell. And don't give me this 'Bush Lied; People Died' crap either. If I were the liar you morons take me for, I could've easily "found" chemical weapons in Iraq so they could be 'discovered.' Instead, I owned up to the fact that the intelligence was faulty. Let me remind you that the rest of the world thought Saddam had the goods, same as me. Hell, he said after captured that he maintained the deception to hold onto power. Guess you missed that. Let me also remind you that regime change in Iraq was official US policy before I came into office. Some guy named 'Clinton' established that policy. If you paid attention to your own government policies you'd know that but it takes more than five minutes of attention to understand it. Now some of you morons are considering another,more dishonest Clinton for vice president !!!! Go figure that one!! While she is out dodging gunfire and apologizing for her husband, she wants to let the 'Whole Village' raise your kids! Look around your town and tell me you want those dumb bastards influencing how you raise your kids.
The rest of you morons have this stupid glow on your faces from listening to the eloquent empty suit junior senator from Illinois with no understanding of foreign policy or economics. This nitwit says we should attack Pakistan, a nucular ally and then he wants to go to Iran and make peace with a terrorist who says he's going to destroy us. While he's doing that, he wants to give Iraq to al Qaeda, Afghanistan to the Taliban, Israel to the Palestinians, and your money to the IRS so the government can give welfare to illegal aliens, who he will make into citizens, so they can vote to reelect him. He also thinks it's okay for Iran to have nucular weapons, and we should stop our foreign aid to Israel. Any of this sound stupid to you yet? Well it will certainly be change...believe it.
You idiots refuse to understand that we face a different enemy than we've ever faced Back during the cold war, there were two major competing political and economic models squaring off. We won that war, but we did so because fundamentally, the Communists wanted to survive, just as we do. We were simply able to out spend and out-wait them.
That's not the case this time. The soldiers of our new enemy don't care if they survive. In fact, they want to die. That'd be fine, as long as they weren't also committed to taking as many of you with them as they can. But they are. They want to kill you, and the other folks are all over the globe.
You should be grateful that they haven't gotten any more of us here in the United States since September 11. But you're not. That's because you've got no idea how hard a small number of intelligence, military, law enforcement, and homeland security people have worked to make sure of that. When this whole mess started, I warned you that this would be a long and difficult fight. I'm disappointed how many of you people think a long and difficult fight amounts to a single season of 'Survivor.'
Instead, you've grown impatient. You're incapable of seeing things through the long lens of history, the way our enemies do. You think that wars should last a few months, a few years, tops. Making matters worse, you actively support those who help the enemy. Every time you buy the New York Times, every time you send a donation to a cut-and-run Democrat's political campaign, well, dang it, you might just as well FedEx a grenade launcher to a Jihadist. It amounts to the same thing. You also believe that putting a yellow ribbon on your vehicle is supporting your troops. Just how are you supporting them? Like everything else in your lives, you have that ribbon on your car to feel better about yourselves. This is the same shallow, self-indulgent motivation you use when you put a "Save Darfur" sticker on your car. Do you really give a darn about the people of Darfur? I doubt it. If you really cared about people suffering you'd have given real money and time to Katrina hurricane victims. Instead you waited for the government to fix it all and bitched the entire time we tried. We weren't perfect, in fact, we had real problems but we tried while you sat on your asses and critiqued us.
I could say more about your expectations that the government will always be there to bail you out, even if you're too stupid to leave a city that's below sea level and has a hurricane approaching. I could say more about your insane belief that government, not your own wallet, is where the money comes from. But I've come to the conclusion that were I to do so, it would sail right over your heads.
In this day and age, it's easy enough to find the truth. It's all over the Internet. It isn't on the pages of the New York Times, USA Today, or on NBC News. But even if it were, I doubt you'd be any smarter. Most of you would rather watch American Idol or Dancing with Stars.
So I quit. I'm going back to Crawford. I've got an energy-efficient house down there (Al Gore could only dream of) and the capability to be fully self-sufficient for years. No one ever heard of Crawford before I got elected, and as soon as I'm done here pretty much no one will ever hear of it again. Maybe I'll be lucky enough to die of old age before the last vestiges of the America we used to know falls. I certainly won't die before some other jihadist attacks Americans on our own soil again--bet on it. Oh, and by the way, Cheney's quitting too. That means Pelosi is your new President. You asked for it.
So that's it. God bless what's left of America. Some of you know what I mean. The rest of you get what you deserve
p.s. you might want to learn Farsi and buy a Koran
