No You Can't: Republicans Offer Strong Alternatives to Democratic Policies
Emphasizing their permissive, liberal philosophy, the Democrat leaders have been encouraging the people to chant the slogan "Yes we can," as if it were appropriate for them to allow people to do things or want things that are bad for them. Americans might forget that the world is a scary place, that there are evil people out there who want to kill us because we're free, and therefore that they need to submit to strong leaders who will protect them by making them less free. Americans need to learn not to abuse their freedoms and to accept the lot God has assigned them in life. To that end, Republican leaders are emphasizing what Americans must learn to do without.

No, you can't have a Republican administration that will uphold or value standards of professional ethics and responsibility. It doesn't matter whether you're a state trooper or a federal prosecutor: we'll fire people who are politically or personally inconvenient and hire friends, cronies, and anyone with sufficient political reliability. Skills, education, experience, and other so-called job "qualifications" are secondary at best. The purpose of acquiring power is to expand that power and entrench it for the future, nothing more.

No, you can't insist that we should take any responsibility for anything bad that we've done (though we'll be quick to take responsibility for anything good that's happened). True, we've controlled the Executive branch for the last eight years, the Legislative branch for six of the last eight years, and made a tremendous impact on the Judiciary, but if it helps us get elected we'll cheer on the need for "Change" and pretend that the best way for the country to get a change from us is to keep electing us. This will ensure that we keep doing what we've always been doing, which will be a big change from how things have been in ultraliberal, out-of-touch Washington, D.C. That's why we've nominated as our new Dear Leader a "Mavrik" who rarely strays from the Party Line. He understands Change because he changes his opinion ten times a day if that's what it takes to convince voters that he's a man of principle.

No, you can't have your sons and daughters back from the Middle East any time soon. In fact, we're already looking ahead for the next generation of canon fodder for securing natural resources so expect military recruiters in your elementary schools soon. Full-scale militarization of our society will have to proceed slowly so as not to disturb your consumer haze, but we have important tasks ahead of us. Not only are we going to be in Iraq for a hundred years, we'll soon have to send troops to other resource-rich areas controlled by recalcitrant, undemocratic governments...like Canada. Ever notice how they have things like "dollars" and "bacon" that aren't quite real? It's all part of a counterfeiting plot designed to undermine America's economy. When the Bush twins present our evidence to the U.N., you'll see just how serious of a threat they are. Before you know it we'll be greeted as liberators in Ottawa and other large Canadian villages. We may not even need to issue cold-weather gear to the troops, the war will go so fast.

Head over to Jesus General to read the whole post
