Mugabe

I woul guess many liberals would think evil conservatives don't care about what happens to a bunch of foreigners. In the case of Zimbabwe, and Robert Mugabe, they would be wrong. He was a supposed freedom fighter against colonialism. Never mind that the people of Zimbabwe didn't really elect him. He made a deal with the liberal administrations of Britian and America, who denonced the new government because whites were a part of it. He forced his way nto power, then made a political party that not being a part of meant you weren't fed. Even then, the people managed to elect a new guy, Morgan Tsvangirai. Of course, because of the violence, this guy has given up on his right to take over.

However, we conservatives have to spend all our energy on stopping the liberals and moderates from giving up on the Iraqis, who, while sometimes annoying, aren't deserving of being abandoned. They finally start to get their act together, and Obambi wont hear it. Lets face it, liberals love to say "Save [place that really needs saving]", "Free [place that really needs freedom]:, they are saying nothing. The biggest problem conservatives have, is that we dont talk the talk. We actually try to do something. Now, this can backfire on us, sometimes doing something concrete can mess up horribly.

Clinton was a bit better on this, as he tried, but if any real pain was involved, he would pull our troops out, like Somalia. Bombing from 10,000 feet in the Balkans managed to save some people, but we should have been more forceful. But, then, Clinton was not that much of a liberal. He was a moderate, or at least, was forced to be. Bush has the problem of actually wanting to see things through. This means he will be horribly obstinate, and not always choose the best strategy. Clinton is more popular, sadly, becase he gave up when things got hard. People really prefer that. Bush has made some boneheaded mistakes, and tries to fix them, instead of throwing up his hands.

Although, maybe the liberal are right. Maybe we should just spew platitudes, then do nothing. It is, after all, much easier. Maybe we sholdn't really care, after all, it usually is the locals mistake. But so what, are we going to curse millions to die because they were stupid?

Charism: I know others have said this.

OK, this is a bit more serious. Ever noticed how charismatic people can be counted on to screw up the world? Now, they aren't always charismatic people, but they are better at it, for the simple virtue of being able to effect others. Now, who fixes the problems they cause? Well, dull, wooden men and women who are boring, and sometimes kinda dumb. Or dull, boring, engineers, scientists, and soldiers.

But in today's America, it seems like you are expected to be exciting and interesting. Stay at home moms, young people who don't care to go clubbing, anyone who doesn't pay attention to the newest big thing are reviled. Now, often, these people know how to have fun, and are quite happy with the lives they have. But they are dismissed out of hand. Exciting people get in scandals, kill boring people in car crashes, and kill each other over cocaine. But gangsters, gangstas and scandalous Hollywood stars are sad, empty people. I feel sorry for them. They have nothing I want. I'll stay boring, thank you very much.

$45 trillion fun

So, um, a report comes out, that says we need 45 trillion to combat global warming. What kind of crap is that? I could make a friggin Iron Man suit, all of Batmans toys, an orbiting space station with a death ray, and most of Africa with that amount. That would probably do the world more good. I mean, I could take out every loser dictator with that.

Now, all joking aside, I know its supposidly over time, and yeah, building tons of nuclear power plants is a good use of money. Well, I guess thats what its calling for, there really is no other way to cut down emissions without crushing the economy. But why not let the market decide? I mean, companies are already trying to build nuclear reactors in Europe and America, as long as oil is this expensive, alternatives will be made. Government needs to butt out. If we just left that amount in the world economy, we would get cool toys and plenty of nuclear, wind, and solar power made for profit.
