So, any chance Mother Goose was a Fifth Columnist? To hear today's ardent American Leftist it would seem so. In this season of election hyperbole we hear all manner of fairytale, cleverly masked as some universal truth. Let's examine a couple of examples.

The most recent Liberal talking point in the midst of all this electioneering is the infamous "We can't drill our way out of this." Here is the truth. When the US proven reserves of off shore, ANWR and shale oil are compiled we discover the US has 3 to 4 times the proven oil reserves of the Saudis; to acquire oil one must drill. So, even though we have 3 or 4 times the oil of the Saudi's, and drilling is the only way to get the oil, now we hear from the erudite ones that "we can't drill our way out of this?"

Is it just me, or does this talking point seem counter intuitive? And then when we examine the Leftist solution besides drilling, the "Let's try and tax our way out of this," we find, once again, the Left is completely 180 degrees on the wrong side of common sense and plain old American get it done mentality. No news there though.

Should I bother to point out that in late week and weekend polling around 70% of Americans polled say "Drill the freakin' oil already?" So any proof needed to support my previous assessment of leftist backasswardness is as plain as the nose on your face. What more is needed to demonstrate that once again the Left is on the opposite side of most issues with mainstream Americans?

Issue number 2 in the countdown is Gay Marriage. California has used the usual Leftist tactic of "legislating from the bench." You know the one - the one where since you can't get what you want through the usual legislative practices, in this case California voters rejected gay marriage, you use Liberal judges to "rule" on the constitutionality of an issue in order to get what you want, and since the voters refuse, you use legislation from the bench to realize your desires. Again, California voters clearly rejected gay marriage, but as usual, the Left will get what they want by hook or crook and care not for the fairness or legality of their actions.

Remember Liberals believe themselves to be so much smarter than fly over Americans. So to circumvent the proper legal process of legislative action the Lefties use the courts to impose their vision of social mores upon us Red State idiots. Any wonder why it is always so important to the Lefties to get control of the nominating and confirmation processes of judges to the appellate and Federal benches?

The extreme and ardent Left, the "pushers" of all this radical crap, know full well that their vision of society, economy and governance are not those of run of the mill Americans. They have tried a million times to get their warped visions passed in the legislative process, and they usually fail, so they have taken a page from FDR's book and are trying to pack the bench with like-minded souls. They know only through this legislating from the bench do they have any possibility at all of getting what they want to come to fruition.

The third issue that runs counter intuitive to mainstream American common sense and love of tradition is the Messiah's pronouncement that he will bomb our allies (Pakistan) and hold a nice chit chat, with no preconditions (Obama's own words before he flip flopped and decided there would be some preconditions) with our enemies, Kim Jong-Il, Chavez, Castro, Assad of Syria and of course, everyone's favorite despot, the beady-eyed Ratboy of Iran.

At this point I am tempted to inquire, rhetorically of course, has anyone ever heard of "Unconditional Surrender?" It has in the past been a clever acronym for Gen. Grant's first two initials, US, as in Ulysses Simpson Grant, and it was also the policy of the Untied States toward our enemies in World War Two. So how did "Unconditional Surrender" work out for the North in that "late unpleasantness?" Pretty good, huh? And in World War Two the Nazis and Imperial Japan were destroyed by unconditional surrender, right? And that too worked out well for the world, right?

And now we come half-way around, 180 degrees opposite of American common sense and wisdom. We have the Democrat presidential nominee, The Messiah Himself employing the "Unconditional Surrender" mentality to our dealing with terrorists, third world despots and petty dictators, the hegemonic desires of Ratboy and Chavez, and the oil crisis.

But the Messiah's employment of Unconditional Surrender IS NOT used as the US has traditionally used it - as OUR attitude toward our enemies, but instead the Messiah's version of Unconditional Surrender is one where WE, the United States, unconditionally surrenders to the will of OPEC and Ratboy!

The Messiah has told us he will talk to our enemies, bomb our allies and surrender to the will of those with the oil. Are these things not 180 degrees opposite of how more traditional and mainstream Americans actually feel about these issues? Excepting for the ardent Leftist I occasionally encounter (yuk! wretch! gag!), I cannot for the life of me find a single mainstream American who thinks we should bomb our allies, chat with Ratboy, et al, and not a single person I engage, again excepting for the occasional anarchist/radical Leftist (it's all the same), thinks we should NOT drill for our own oil.

So, in closing, let us review: The Messiah says he will NEVER drill, ever! The Messiah says let's have a nice chat with our enemies and bomb our allies, and lastly let's make sure we completely circumvent the stated will of the American electorate and use judicial activism to impose our visions of morality upon our nation. The Messiah and his minions are advocating an absolute bastardization of all we know as traditional Americans.

Since when do Americans let others lead the way? Since when do we allow the despots of OPEC to dictate the prosperity of our nation? Since when do Americans give in without trying every available method of solution to a problem? Would Ronald Reagan have said "Yeah, OPEC has us by the short hairs. No use utilizing OUR OWN ENERGY RESERVES!" Would Reagan have suggested we try and tax our way out of an oil shortage when we have three times the oil reserves of the Saudis (and potential oil shale included in that number) yet , as the Messiah has stated "I will NEVER drill for oil!"

The Messiah and his minions are counter to all we traditional Americans favor and desire. I have one thing to address to the Messiah and his minions. Read carefully: I AM NOT A SURRENDER MONKEY! MY NATION IS NOT A SURRENDER MONKEY! WE WILL NOT UNCONDITIONALLY SURRENDER TO ANYONE OR ANYTHING! AND THAT INCLUDES YOUR BIZARRE AND WARPED VISION OF AMERICA!

We will drill our own oil! We will fight the terrorists wherever the Hell we find them! We will never cave to your Socialist principles and "Unconditional Surrender" mentality! Got it?
