To My Friend Mark

With Dems like these...

Let me introduce you to Mark. He is a very good friend of mine. And he is liberal. Why? I don’t know. I suspect his Mom dropped him on his head as an infant. Anyway, Mark bought a home from me 10 years ago. Then two years ago, he bought another. He kept the old home as an investment property, and rented it. That all worked great for two years, until the tenant moved out. Now, he is having a hard time selling or renting the property.

So what does this have to do with politics? Just read the letter I sent him, below. I’ve changed a few things to protect the innocent. And of course, I happily exposed the guilty.

Dear Mark,

So now, you are having trouble renting out your home. And you want to blame George Bush.

Well, I just want to straighten you out on why you are having a hard time renting your home.

We have the best economy in American history. But Americans don't know this. Why? Because the press isn't reporting it. That is a fact. Even CNN admitted this.

Why aren't they reporting this? Because they are liberal. And George Bush is conservative. Same thing for the war, for Social Security, and school choice, etc.

So, why should politics matter? Because there is a good chance Democrats will take back the House and Senate. Two years later, the Presidency is up for grabs. You may see Democrats control the House, Senate and Presidency in 30 months.

As a Democrat, you may feel happy about that. But here's why it's a problem.

The worst economy in the last 100 years was the Depression. It was a long time ago. But back then, Democrats dominated the House, Senate and Presidency for 20 years. Their philosophy was socialism, with lots of government intervention with rules, regulations and interference. And the economy sucked.

The second worse economy was under Jimmy Carter. Also, Democrats ran the House, Senate and Presidency. Same problems: a socialist philosophy of high taxes, high regulation and intervention

But there is one more common aspect. Both Presidents avoided international conflict. Roosevelt should have allied with England and France in the 30s, and brought Hitler down. Roosevelt’s hesitation cost millions of lives and devastated economies for decades to come. Carter, of course, and by his own admission, allowed the Soviet Union to run amok across the globe. Fortunately, Reagan didn’t make the same mistake. He defeated the Soviets and unleashed the US economy with tax cuts.

Today? George Bush recognized that our nation had neglected to defend ourselves from rising terrorism. Bush is the first president to take on terrorists, and he conducted a war in Afghanistan to kick the Taliban into the hills somewhere. Then, he tosses Saddam Hussein out on his ass. You would think Americans would support freeing 50 million people from terrorists, and support any American President during wartime, especially because his pre-emptive strike was actually quite successful. Sure, it cost 2,000 Americans their lives, But Libya surrendered its weapons program, complete with a sizeable nuclear aspect. Syria withdrew from Lebanon. And now that Iran is threatening to go Islamo-nuclear, Bush has that country surrounded on all sides by allies.

There will be no World War IV. There will be no nuclear attack. We'll get there first. Why? Because we have troops in Iraq.

Yet America does not support George Bush. Instead, Democrats have done a magnificent job of preying upon our fears, and making this war seem like it’s going bad when it’s actually going quite well. This is committing treason. I can't imagine such an effort in 1942, can you?

So, what does this have to do with your situation? A lot. If Democrats told the truth about the economy, Americans would have more confidence, and not be afraid to spend and corporations wouldn’t be afraid to invest, grow and hire. If Democrats told the truth about the war, Americans would have a higher opinion about the President, the world's fence-sitters would be on our side, and the world's corrupt governments (particularly Western Europe) would either be embarrassed or get in line to support the war. And the markets would follow. That would strengthen the dollar and strengthen America's respect overseas. Why does this matter? Because oil prices would be $30 a barrel lower. Inflation would be lower. And the Federal Reserve would not raise interest rates. Therefore, people would have more money to spend.

And, if Democrats and the press told the truth about the world, the war and the economy, the stock market would be 3,000 points higher, incomes would be 5% higher and interest rates would be 1% lower.

Therefore, more people would have more money. Especially the people who want to buy or rent houses. Like your house.

Instead, despite the best economy in world history, we are feeling the negative effects of the Democrat party's success in tearing down the President IN WARTIME, and willingly damaging our nation, purely for political power.

Now that you have a stake in the game, you may finally have figured out what conservatives have known for a long time: Democrats are screwing America. And now, you have been screwed by your own party. And your own vote. So, you can directly thank Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid, Ted Kennedy, Hillary Clinton, Michael Moore, the New York Times, CNN, and the Washington Post for your missed opportunity. Your family could have made some money. But your own party just screwed you.

I like you a hell of a lot, Mark. But I have been waiting for you to learn a lesson on how liberal politics can really hurt the average family. Unfortunately for you, it's become a rather tough lesson. You can thank yourself.
