In one Calvin and Hobbes strip they are using a Ouija Board and Calvin asks whether he will ever become President? When the words “God forb-“ begin to be spelled out Calvin kicks the board exclaiming “Stupid thing!”

Folks, I don’t need a Ouija board telling me “God forbid!” I should ever become President. Among the many things I would do with such power is attempt to legalize marijuana and prostitution. As though making it known I don’t believe in prayer were not enough, kiss off any “conservative” base right there on those two things alone.

Not that I have ever been in danger of winning the highest office in the land, but my heterodox ideas and opinions seem to conflict with just about every group you can name. Much like Thoreau who wished there were some document he could sign absolving him of any organization he had not signed on to, I wish there were some way of absolving me from our Federal Triune Dictatorship that obligates We the People for many things we have not signed on to. The fault is often voting for scoundrels, or not voting at all, but when the “choices” are nothing but scoundrels what are We the People to do?

Among a host of things that separate me from both camps, conservative and liberal, are my thoughts about abortion, euthanasia, capital punishment, and gun control. As to the latter, I’m a life long supporter of the NRA and favor every law abiding citizen owning and carrying a gun. “Don’t leave home without it” makes sense in a lawless society, which America has become. After all, the barbarians terrorize at will because they know they can. But faced with an armed law abiding citizenry it would be different. That is if the ACLU would ever allow of such a thing and both citizens and police were not hauled into court for defending themselves against the barbarians. There is no doubt in my mind the Founding Fathers intended law abiding citizens be armed, and not just a militia.

What about abortion? There is no question to my mind abortion on demand has had the effect of desensitizing life, encouraging a callousness concerning society’s value of life. Unquestionably the pervading violence taught children by Hollywood, TV, so-called “games” all make their satanic contribution to an increasingly violent American society. But for those opposing abortion I wonder if many would object to having aborted Stalin, Hitler, Cheney, Rumsfeld, Rove, Bush, members of Congress, lawyers… well, you get my point. If we had the power to distinguish between the children of God and the children of the Devil I’d be more than willing to drop the hammer on those born to do evil. Take those that are going to turn out to be the monsters preying on women and children, who wouldn’t want to abort such monsters?

And what of the multiplied hundreds of millions of “human weeds” worldwide born to misery and suffering, born only to hopelessness and despair, born only to die, the unproductive mouths demanding to be fed by the productive; at what point does the earth itself lose the potential to feed teeming billions of people? What exactly is the basis of any “moral imperative” to feed these multiplied hundreds of millions that not only contribute nothing, but take from those who responsibly limit births in order to properly care for the resulting babies? Birth a “gift of God?” If so, I have to wonder who exactly is minding the store? Or has God assigned the responsibility for births to some heavenly committee like those of Congress. That would explain the lunacy of it. But what if a future Mozart, Washington, or Einstein were aborted? When you have the ability to tell how any given baby is going to turn out then you might have a legitimate argument.

But as a matter of speculation, for which I herewith claim the copyright for any resulting book or film, suppose there are children of God and children of the Devil as one might believe from the account in Genesis. Does it come down to which is responsible for the greater number of offspring in contention with each other, the never ending struggle between good and evil resulting in the history of humankind being one of nothing but wars and misery for the greatest number?

As to good vs. evil one has to wonder why any person possessed of sound mind would be inviting the invasion of America by the teeming hoards from Mexico, knowing full well that if not stopped Mexicans do not assimilate in America but will only contribute to growing illiterate millions demanding bread while offering nothing of real value to American society. The only obvious answer is the wealthy profiting from the slave labor of these growing millions of illiterate and far too often violent Mexicans. And just try to convince Mexicans and their La Raza they should accommodate themselves to either birth control or “multiculturalism.”

Bush and his supporters have dreams of an empire built on the backs of slaves from Mexico to Canada. And those wealthy with dreams of empire worldwide built on the backs of slaves care nothing about the trade agreements with nations like China so long as the money keeps going into the “right” pockets. After all, who in their right mind believes the real motivation of Bush and Company was “democracy” in the face of the intractable and incontrovertible facts making such an idea ridiculously impossible in the Middle East?

In a world where the ignorant and illiterate unproductive outbreed the educated productive there has to be an eventual reckoning. Even in the most prosperous nation in history, America, the widening gap between the haves and have nots is growing at an exponential rate, due in no small part to the invasion by illiterate millions from Mexico that practice no means of birth control whatsoever, but demand bread of legitimate American citizens for the resulting babies. Madness! I would like to see the proponents of abortion on demand try to make that fly with Mexicans! How about the proponents of abortion on demand marching in the streets of Mexico?

Somewhere you would hope common sense would trump the seeming lunacy of it all. But wherever we look worldwide there seems little to offer hope such will ever be the case. Take global warming for instance. Even if Gore and Company is correct, who in their right mind expects nations like China and India or any third world nations to cooperate in controlling their environments at the expense of feeding their hungry mouths; not to mention keeping the wealthy warm a’ la mode as per Henry’s observation.

As to euthanasia I favor the law in Oregon. As long as I’m possessed of my faculties I want my death to be my decision should I face an otherwise miserable and painful end without hope. And I don’t favor an end in the hands of politicians whose only “credentials” are wrapping themselves in the flag and waving the bloody shirt with hand on Bible only to get elected and stay elected.

President? "God Forb-"
