Cheers for Joes: Michael Ackley applauds men who stand up to Obama

Editor's note: Michael Ackley's columns may include satire and parody based on current events, and thus mix fact with fiction. He assumes informed readers will be able to tell which is which.

First we had Joe the Plumber, who had the fortitude to grill then-candidate Barack Obama about policies inimical to business. Now we have Rep. Joe Wilson, who was excoriated for yelling "You lie!" as President Barack Obama stood at the lectern/teleprompter last week and lied about health-care "reform" to the American people and a joint session of Congress.*

Wilson's "shocking breach of decorum and civility" brought the wrath of both Democrats and Republicans down on the South Carolina Republican, who, sadly, apologized to Obama.

In contrast to fake Astroturf, rent-a-mob liberal protesters, Americans attending the Tea Party march on D.C. paid their own way, were fully clothed, have actual jobs and actually pay taxes. Liberals protest for a living.
But there's more! You can tell the massive weekend march was a taxpayers' march because:
-- The media keep lying about the turnout. Just like they keep lying about the number of "uninsured" Americas -- half of them illegal aliens. Hundreds of thousands of actual Americans turned out for the Tea Party march Saturday (making this the largest gathering of real Americans in Washington since Bush's second inaugural), it all happens while cameras are rolling, but the media keep insisting the cameras are liars.
-- Nobody got arrested and there was no looting and rioting.
-- Garbage wasn't strewn all over the place. The protest area was cleaner AFTER the march than before. When liberals protest, inevitably they bring a swarm of flies along and, after the smelly event, it takes a week to collect all the trash on the ground. It's as if the streets were their home. Oh wait, they are. Even when the event isn't a protest, these clean-Earth champions are careful to litter the whole place with mounds of empty soda cans, plastic water bottles, coffee cups, food, food trays, straws, Twinkie wrappers, posters and used condoms. Such as in the wake of Obama's inaugural. In fairness, liberals point out that, when it comes to personal hygiene, they at least bathe once a week.
-- Unlike liberal protest events, there were American flags there! Hundreds of thousands of them. No Hamas flags or North Korean flags or Kim Jong Il t-shirts anywhere and the signs weren't written by representatives from SEIU and ACORN. There were no signs saying, 'Please Tread On Me', 'Obama Never Lies!', 'Hands on my body!', 'Spread the wealth!', 'More bailouts, please!', '34 Czars are not enough!', 'Don't quit spending!', 'Even the NAZIS had death panels -- why not us?'. Also, there was no bong smoke and there were no intellectually stimulating "Hey! Hey! Ho! Ho!" chants.
-- In contrast to libbie protesters, who get bused in from D.C. to stage rallies in D.C., the Tea Party protesters came from Florida, Michigan, Kansas, Alabama, California, Colorado, Georgia and the rest of the 57 states.
Showing how amazingly on-message the Democrats aren't, today Obama will be in New York to give a speech about how he saved the economy by giving speeches and press conferences. He also insists that everyone stands to lose health care under the current awful economy he saved. And while Obama turns his failed efforts to "financial reform", Democrats in the House are threatening to distract themselves for another week, warning Joe Wilson that unless he offers another apology for the same thing, Pelosi will make him stay after school! With Nancy trailing in polls against the swine flu, Joe Wilson rode the Joe-mentum to rack up over a million bucks in campaign donations. But to push Congress's stellar approval ratings even lower, the Democrat leadership plans to propose a resolution of disapproval Monday or Tuesday or Wednesday or Thursday which is a badge of honor and puts re-election in the bag for Wilson.
Making matters worse, now even Osama is losing faith in Obama. So sad! In a taped message released yesterday, Osama called Obama "powerless", a wimp, just a new version of Bush-lite, and blamed the Afghan and Iraq warmongering on big corporations and the Jews -- reiterating word-for-word what he frequently posts at DailyKos.
But, not to worry. Any day now House Majority Whip James Clyburn will call on racist Osama to apologize -- or face a devastating resolution of disapproval. Provided it includes a strong or robust public option.
Last week was supposed to be the week that Obama broke out the Kool-Aid again and "reasserted" control of the debate with his poorly-watched speech, but instead it looks like Obama got owned on Saturday. After fleeing to Minnesota, he tried again to prop up the flailing Deathcare plan with panels and all via . . . another speech. His flacks have gone all Baghdad Bob, insisting these hundreds of thousands of taxpayers are merely "tens of thousands" and do not represent "mainstream America", which consists of lobbyists, fawning "reporters" and Goldman Sachs. But the newly-awakened giant isn't going back to sleep -- and will be back with tens of millions of Joe Wilsons if Congress didn't get the message this time.
Anyway, that's...
