To me, the speech was little different from whatever President Bush would have given – that is, a capable defense of American interests based on an acknowledgment of evil in the world.

Which raises the question: where are the protests against this new wartime President?

Viewer Chad Smith wrote in to remind me of the infamous Rock Against Bush campaign – started by some low level punk rockers. Its goal, presumably, was to create an antiwar movement with Bush as the primary target of relentless, brutal (warlike, even!) scorn.

But hey – it was called Rock Against Bush, not Rock against War. And that tells you something. Rock Against Bush wasn’t a campaign to force the President to rethink war, it was a campaign to use war to crap all over Bush, an ideological enemy. So, it wasn’t about pacifism, it was about politics. Which is why – after crapping on Bush – they remain mysteriously silent over Obama, now. I say “mysteriously” because I’m stupid.

Look – a drone still kills people, whether it’s commanded to do so by a Republican or a Democrat. So, it comes down to consistency. If you’re critical of war under Bush, you gotta be critical of war under of Obama. I’ve been critical of our President over a crapload of things, but I support him in this troop build-up, the same way I supported the surge under Bush. So one must wonder: if there was a Rock Against Bush, why not a Rock Against Obama?

I’m glad for our troops that these sellouts found something else to do.

And if you disagree with me, then you sir, are probably a racist.

Tonight: Jim Norton, Tamara Holder, Oderus Urangus and Billy West

Seeing as the “Green Day Liberals/American Idiots” started the whole “Bush is not my President” schtick and their new album is dropping this week, I couldn’t think of a more appropriate time to issue a retort. Granted, the men of Green Day have had to overcome a lot to attain the success they enjoy today. It’s not every day that a group of legally-declared midgets can produce platinum-selling albums. Folks, I can give credit where credit is due. Rather than accept this success on behalf of the “little people” however, Green Day (along with other generic punk bands) had to start the “not my President” crusade against their commander in chief during a time of war. Punk bands even collectively put out the “Rock Against Bush” album which was eyebrow-raisingly sympathetic towards our enemies. Some would call it treason, I call it “a-bunch-of-uneducated-toolbags-playing-power-chords-in-an-attempt-to-brainwash-the-youth-of-America.”

Considering that “fascism” was the justification for the punk-rock community’s public hatred of the former-president, one has to imagine how they feel today. Their own liberal buddies are in charge of everything from the White House, Congress and Senate to the mainstream media. Combine that with the biggest government takeover of private companies that we’ve ever seen (along with the biggest spending increase, of course), and I’m starting to think that maybe a “Rock Against Obama” album might hold a little more water. I wouldn’t expect to see that from Green Day however, for one reason only; These people are idiots. I’m talking borderline Biden-esque in their level of stupidity.

Folks, I support Barack Obama “the President,” really I do. Whether I voted for him or not, he was elected as our Commander in Chief. When one looks at the actual DUTIES of a president however (which is in short; To preserve and protect the Constitution), anyone with a brain (barring some kind of Sean Penn-type learning disability) can see that Obama has gone far beyond the parameters of his calling.

When Barack Obama tries to continually weasel his ever-expanding government into the private sector or does something like try to sneak the biggest backdoor tax in history into the books, he ceases to be “Presidential.” When Barack Obama acts with complete disregard for the Constitution (and American principles) he is no longer Barack Obama the president, he becomes Barack Obama… “the man.” I would even go as far as to say a very bad one. Yes Napolitano, you heard correctly. Come and get me toots.

Let’s say for a second, that you hired a plumber to fix your sink, only to come home and find that he’d decided to dry-clean your clothes… And did a terrible job of it. Naturally you’d be upset and “unsupportive” of his douchebaggery. You didn’t HIRE him as a dry-cleaner, so why would you have to pay him as such or even commend his work? In the same breath, why do I need to support Barack Obama with his company takeovers and creepily intruding government?

On Presidential issues such as national security, the preservation of life etc., I’ll support Barack Obama with all of my heart.

As for all of his other shenanigans… Well, I think it’s time to “Rock Against Obama.”

Who’s with me?
