Is this the kind of country you want? A letter to my Democrat friend.

Note: While I don't have any Democrat friends, I will pretend I do for the sake of this letter. This letter is a basic primer for all morons in general, and none in particular. Rest assured that I am not interested in becoming friends with a moron, nor do I think they can stop being morons, but just in case:

Dear Moron,

I'm going to start from the presumption that you like your life. Whether or not you subscribe to a digital television medium, you are glad one exists. I presume you are thankful you can go down to your local supermarket and stock up on enough of a Thanksgiving feast to feed half of Southeast Asia, charging it all on your credit card which you can pay off in installments until next year. You appreciate being able to climb in your car at will and drive at will to where you will, listening to whatever you want on the radio the whole way. You are glad that you don't get dysentery, or the flu, or measles, or polio and will probably live to be a hundred. You appreciate being able to dial your cell-phone in traffic, driving like a jerk in the mean-time, and have a clear call to virtually anywhere in the world.

If you appreciate these things, then stop to consider what it would be like around here if the so-called "progressives" were in charge.

You would have to wait months to see a doctor, unless you had an emergency. In that case, you would only have to wait weeks.

You would stand in a long line to buy bread. The stores might run out before you get yours. If you do get bread, it will only be enough for a day or two. Then you have to stand in line again.

You can climb in your car and go anywhere you want to go, as long as it's on the approved list, and as long as your sorry excuse for a car can make it. You also have to hope you will find gasoline along the way. If you listen to the radio you will get one station, the state approved station.

You won't celebrate Thanksgiving because you won't be sure what you are thankful for. If you do celebrate Thanksgiving you will wait in more lines than just the bread line. And you won't have any credit so you will only eat what you can pay for today, assuming someone will sell it to you.

You won't have a cell phone, a microwave, a digital (or possibly even an analog TV) or heat or AC for your home. And if you are still teaching, you will teach what the state wants you to teach when the state wants you to teach it or pay the consequences.

Lest you think my description is the flight of fancy of some extremist who likes to call liberals "traitors" consider that the U.S.S.R. did indeed exist, run by progressives, and it did indeed pose these hardships and more on everyone who lived there.

Is that the kind of country you want? If so, continue to repeat the lies of the left, that George W. Bush stole the election, that the war against Iraq was launched under false pretenses, that the U.S. is responsible for the attacks of September 11, 2001, and that Al Gore and Hillary Rodham Clinton have an ounce of intelligence.

Just don't expect those of us who are not morons to listen to you.

Shalom.
