 New American Revolution
The flame ignited by Arnold's
victory in California will be contagious

The Iranian
My friends and I were out drinking on the night
of California's
recall election at Huber's Cafe, Portland's oldest
bar, after having the finest
Sushi dinner in this harmonious progressive
town. Surely, it is fun to experience short lived MasterCard
moments once in a while.
We were all well fed, too gorged and
somewhat drunk as the atmosphere of the bar set the stage for
it. The background music, with the piano player
and a solo singer, also eased me into taking a little trip
to the past recalling the better days when I was studying
American history on my own. The more I was thinking about it the
more I was just grateful to the vision of our Founding Fathers.
How they envisioned resolving
that difficult day if Americans ever had to encounter tyranny
in this great land of the free and the home of the brave.
That is, without sacrificing blood and by having the people to
exercise their rights to vote and demand to have ballot boxes
out so they can discharge their frustrations with the government.
Yes indeed on that remarkable Tuesday night of
October 7th, 2003 America experienced the first of many revolutions
set to come
without a single shot fired or an injury to another man. Oh please
forgive me, but to be fair we all have to admit that there was
indeed a massive shot fired into leftist groups
in America. Those Socialists, extreme Liberals, Communists,
and others in California and America.
Californians showed up at their
polling station in record numbers and told Governor Gray Davis
to leave for good. They told him they are
tired of his very liberal and socialist agendas, that he and
his party have not accepted fiscal responsibility for this
great state, that he is spending so much money on social welfare
and programs targeting illegal immigrants and minorities, that
he is no longer representing California's interests anymore,
that he is not an upright man when all of a sudden he appoints
over
260 new judges right after the recall date to secure his
liberal agenda even after he is long gone.
Surely, Davis and his lieutenant governor Bustamante
hijacked the mainstream Democratic Party and ran it over a cliff.
The internal
power struggle
between
the two resulted in a victory of old mainstream Democrats in
Republican clothing and caused them to rise from JFK's
grave this time -- as Michael Savage said it so intelligently.
Arnold's victory celebration was indeed a return to Camelot.
What a revolution
we had that night in America and how solemn, civilized, and silent
-- yet powerful -- it was. Needless to say, Arnolds's speech
gave it a Hollywood
ending indeed!
What I personally liked the most was the fact
that Arnold, unlike Bush, won by the popular votes
which caused extreme
liberals disdain over the outcome once again. Furthermore, he
used some tactics in bringing drama involving his under-the-waistline
matters to gain the support of democrats in California.
He sure learned it from Billy the pro, who did
pickpocket my vote twice on his presidential elections by his
charm in whispering gentle words softly in my ear with his saxophone
pitch. How misguided, innocent and dull I was in my yesteryears
when I was a liberal myself. Undoubtedly if Billy could have
gotten away with his misconduct issues in clear daylight,
why can't Arnold? Remember this is the land of equal opportunity.
Wow... Our historians surely
did record this robust
tremor on that night in KALLEFOURNEYA (as Arnold says
it so impressively). The new revolution has just started and
the flame is going to be contagious. Mark my words.
I won't be surprised if the shock of this tremor
reaches the beautiful
shores of South America, giving a wakeup call to nations once
liberated by Bolivar, and San Martin, knocking on the doors of
Miraflores
in Caracas, where Hugo Chavez this barbarian
''revolutionary'' leader in red beret resides, dictates and rules
his Cuban style slave farm and denies, with NO shame, the constitutional
rights
of the children of Bolivar, who are begging gracefully for their
day of justice in holding a referendum.
It may even reach those
Portenos in Buenos Aires and make them plea to Carlos Kirchner
in taking responsibility by balancing
Argentina's current and capital accounts with the rest
of the world. But knowing him he would rather be known as the
biggest thief in the region and be chained in Casa Rosada.
By the way nobody is asking what Argentina ever
did with all the billions the world community trusted
it with? I can
trace that answer to the corner of Avenida Callao and Corrientes
myself. Why isn't anybody else chasing it? That is almost
three times more money than what Bush is asking for to secure
our interests in Iraq. What disgracing leaders we have in the
Southern part of this beautiful continent of OURS!
With all fairness, the news of our strength
coming back, the news of the Bald American Eagle being FREED
and opening its majestic
wings echoed equally. By contrast, our enemies abroad only added
fuel to their ill-will against us "the infidels". If you are
one of
those
loyal Al-Jazirah listeners you know what I mean.
Coincidentally,
the United Nations released the world poverty report prepared
by Ahmed Obaid on the eve of California's glorious election day.
Obaid suggests in his report that America should contribute
more to the poor and needy in the Third World countries who
are way
too sexually active, and are deprived of education and medicine.
America's donation should prevent early pregnancy, sexually
transmitted infections, including AIDS, and help in
family planning.
Onaid probably thinks America
is not
recognizing its own invisible state named after it (poverty)
or America is not generous enough to help the world fighting
it. A few billion dollars here, a few billion dollars there,
what the heck let's give to the world trillions of dollars,
but somebody please tell Obaid in "the name of his God
the merciful" that we
will use our offshore accounts to fulfill his wishes. America
is NOT going to print money and deteriorate its currency any
further to finance Obaid's
noble dreams. If that is not pleasing, Obaid should go and
get it from the pirate sitting in Casa Rosada who is holding
our
money! The buck stops there ....
Get your wigs out America, and I mean your RIGHT
wigs out. Halloween is right around the corner. What timing!
Aren't we lucky
for a change? Let's pay our tribute in an evening of clean
fun and dress up as George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, John
Q. Adams, Abraham Lincoln, Daniel Webster, Thomas H. Benton,
Henry Clay, or Sam Houston.
Needless to say, the real credit
goes to brilliant Californians this time. Who
else but Californians, and where
else but Californi? That is where America's
leading strength lies on matters of importance and now the
rest of the union has no choice but to follow. Did you think
Utah is going to do the same? Idaho or Oregon? Of course NOT
... That was the job of our best state in the union and the
5th
greatest
economy of the world!
Thanks to our great Founding Fathers and the best
system of government which is the envy of the world.
Thank you California. Thank you Californians. Thank you Arnold. Let
me translate this last sentence in Spanish for our Latino readers
(we all need to learn Spanish in America. It is the language
promoted by our Democratic Party's presidential nominees during
debates):
"Gracias California. Gracias la gente de California. Gracias
Arnold."
America will progress and prosper soon. Americans
are the sleeping giants who have awoken now and are demanding
a change -- broad change for the good of our system and the
good of those who are becoming our governors, judges, and leaders.
There is a vital shift in asking them to hold much higher morals
and merits while serving in the office. Hopefully that
will soon reflect in corporate America as well.
Get the liars OUT of office, those who have NO
shame in the inconsistency of
their convictions and their votes, those who have NO shame in
the inconsistency of their conscience and their
conduct under
oath!
They are bunch of liars even in their personal lives and
can NOT be trusted on matters of morals, values and the national
security of America
and Americans. This is going to be unquestionably a pivotal point
for America to rise and shine in this century.
My
friends and
I were discussing the possibility of having another revolution,
this time in my home state of Oregon by recalling our democratic
governor. As we were leaving the bar all woozy and drunk,
we all agreed
that a revolution like this can only happen in this great country
where an Austrian emigrant races against a person
of Mexican descent, kicking the White fellow out of office.
Good job Arnold, and good luck ...
God Bless America

PS: I am still befuddled from having too much vodka with too
many slices of reality, and truth! Forgive me if my personal
demagogic
thoughts disturbed you. Next time if
you see me at the local microbrewery standing by myself, think
of
Mark Twain's quote "Be good, and be lonesome".
My position is to be firm on my thoughts, and I can live
with it. I know that I am not alone on the right side with my
own mug of Blueheron in hand standing by America's president,
conscience, interests and our men and women in uniform. I say
let's Salute to that!
"Hold on, my friends, to the Constitution and to the Republic
for which it stands. Miracles do not cluster and what has happened
once in 6,000 years, may not happen again. Hold on to the Constitution,
for if the American Constitution should fail, there will be anarchy
throughout the world." -- Daniel Webster, defender of our
Constitution
