I'm sick of all those things too, and I'm not even American. An awful lot of those things apply up here as well.

Nice rant. And I'll add one more - global warming. As an added 'Barf alert', I just heard our local movie reviewer on a Philly newsradio station (consider the source) give the Al Gore crock-umentary 3 1/2 stars out of 4. The guy was practically wetting himself fawning all over the movie.

And I am sick of hyphenated Americans. Pick one or the other, not both. If you pick American, I say "Welcome fellow citizen". If you pick the other, I'll help you pack and will contribute to a one-way ticket out of here.

....since he speaks for about 80% of Americans as well...you would think the pinheads in Washington would listen up. Let's (meaning the common law abiding citizen) watch for VOTING RECORDS.... and when they goes against what the MAJORITY of what the American citizen wants and requires...VOTE THEM OUT OF OFFICE!!!!!..and support the ones that do act as our true Representatives.

I'm sick of "There's a tropical disturbance forming 800 miles east of the Windward Islands and conditions are favorable for further development."

When I look at the coal miners, it seems clear to me that Americans will do ANY job, no matter how dangerous, if it is honest and pays enough to keep their family off welfare.

Bush's low approval ratings, IMHO, stem almost entirely from the immigration/border security/enforcement issue. I remember the first time he made his amnesty proposal. He was riding at about 63% approval in the polls, and the country was very much behind him in the WOT. This was before the 2004 elections. He made that speech, and within a month his approval was below 50%. The problem was that the border security issue undercut everything he was trying to do in the WOT. Even though there had not been a successful attack on US soil since 911 (except I think the plane that crashed the next week was terrorism, just covered up), few people could justify having 130,000 troops in Iraq with our southern border wide open.

I believe the Dubai ports deal was the first shot in the retaliation against Bush and the Republicans over the border issue. It was the last straw for a lot of people. Michael Savage, who is usually ignored by the left media, suddenly got respect and visits from Charles Schumer. The Rats figured out they weren't going to outflank Bush from the left, because moving to the left of Bush wouldn't get them any votes they weren't getting anyway. So, they jumped rhetorically to the right of Bush on immigration. Now, the problem for people who want the borders closed, which is most Americans by a wide margin, is pretty much the same problem we faced in 1992 with Clinton, Bush I, and NAFTA. Most of the American public did not want NAFTA, but a vote for Bush was a vote for NAFTA, and a vote for Clinton was a vote for NAFTA.

The political class wants a North American zone, as opposed to three countries. This cuts across both parties.

BTW, I have no problem with anyone coming to this country to live under the following conditions:

1. Come here to BECOME an American.
2. Learn English. (actually, most of the people who "don't know English" actually do, it's just convenient to pretend you don't in some instances.)
3. Enter the country legally.
4. Come here to add something, not suck on the welfare state like a seed tick.

"I think that all good, right-thinking people in this country are sick and tired of being told that all good, right-thinking people in this country are fed up with being told that all good, right-thinking people in this country are fed up with being sick and tired. I'm certainly not, and I'm sick and tired of being told that I am."

American people simultaneously will learn to hate their gas guzzling vehicles and President George W. Bush.

Not so. I would hate driving a Kleenex that got 45 miles per gallon even more. As for George Bush, I still feel affection for him and especially I do when I think of him in the same chain of thought as John Kerry.

"I'm sick of hearing about high gas prices."

Good, may I ask the author to pay for my gas then? It would be one less person bitching about it anyway.

The remainder of the rant is first rate though.

Thanks for the post.
