What a Momentous Occasion, Dear Readers!
Dear Readers,
I, Theodore Trumblebunks, I, Esq., mentioned yesterday that today was a momentous occasion. It is that, and much, much more!
You see, dear readers, "The Not-So-Humble Opinion of Theodore Trumblebunks" came into existence one year ago today, on May 20, 2006!
Since then, old Teddy has been exposing the hypocrisy of the west-coast, liberal elite, and celebrating the love of America that I share with true patriots. And that won't be changing any time soon!
What will be coming in the year ahead? Well, dear readers, "The Not-So-Humble Opinion of Theodore Trumblebunks" will just keep getting bigger and better. But even I can't do it alone. That's why I wish to thank all of my friends and my devoted readers and contributors over the past year. Today is as much a celebration of all of you as it is of just me! So, to all of you I say thank you for joining me in my quest to impose conservative values on America and the world so that we can party like it's 1899!
Dear readers, thank you for loving "The Not-So-Humble Opinion of Theodore Trumblebunks," and thank you for loving America!

I was going to wish you a happy anniversary as I began to sign off for the night and weekend, but then I read your comments about the wonderful Dr. Paul. How dare you bash a true Republican! You're a big, fat, phony! You hear me? Personally, I don't know where you are on the map anymore? A centrist, conservative, libertarian, liberal, or statist? I am going to guess a right-wing statist...that's good, I respect that, I'm just a right-wing libertarian.
The best government is the one that governs least. It was a notion introduced by Thomas Jefferson and one possessed by many early Presidents, up until Ronald Reagan. I sort of thought Mr. Bush would share that belief, but I was sorely mistaken. We need Dr. Paul for this country. I want the Republicans to succeed personally, but a lot of the front runners don't seem that popular (McCain, Giuliani). Actually, here's a quiz...who do you prefer to run this country: Dr. Ron Paul, OBGYN, or Hillary Rodham-Clinton, the Goldwater girl turned left-wing power hungry bitch? There's a question for you to ponder over. Have a good evening.
Hugs and kisses,
Jack X
PS. I know your secret beliefs, and we'll keep those to ourselves. I am just messing with you. Have a good week.
Jack X,
I understand your point, but you have to look at what Ron Paul said at the debate. Luckily, Rudy set him straight by once again pointing out the link between Iraq and 9/11!
Me, I'm a right-wing American. That's why I'm on board the Straight-Talk Express! Who could love America more than the one person wanting to drastically increase troop levels?
It wouldn't be terrible to have Dr. Paul, because he has done in the past what our divinely-inspired President wants to see, and that is for an OBGYN to practice their love of women. If he's good enough for W, then he could be good enough for me.
Jack X, thank you for being such a loyal reader and commenter over the past year. Here's to a bigger and better year ahead!

Well, I have more comments to set the stage straight.
First of all, I am a Republican, but I am not a Bush Republican...sorry. There is just too any missteps Mr. Bush has taken in recent years. It's interesting how he had the biggest opportunity to be one of the greatest presidents this country has had in recent days, but he blew it with many problems, starting with Iraq, and things have tumbled since 2003, between gas prices (where he's probably making record profits himself behind the table), Iraq, and his poor handling of other domestic situations, such as the hurricane and some other little adventures (where are the alternate fuels, privatizing of Social Security, a simpler tax code, etc). It's more than likely that his approval rating will have a perfect standard deviation before his term ends in 1 1/2 years (going from near 90% after 9/11 to possibly approaching the teens, especially given that his approval rating is inversely proportional to gas prices).
Personally, I do not like Democrats--I cannot stress that enough, but given that the current leader is rather stubborn, I can see why they gained control of the house and senate. I agree that Democrats are also making many missteps--look at immigration, for example. I guess that if W. would listen to the people instead of being distanced from him (a characteristic that, unfortunately, his father also possessed which cost him the White House in 1993), none of these crises would occur. I guess that poor managing is where we must part of the ways politically.
I do have a solution to the "fight them here vs. there" crisis, actually. Unfortunately, terrorism is not going to go away, ever--mainly because it's an idea or strategy, it's not a country or political force. But if there were stricter immigration laws in this country, maybe things like 9/11 wouldn't have happened. I know that in the 1920s, there were immigration quotas that limited people from different nations, maybe having ones like that would help. Remember that the 9/11 terrorists were allowed into this country, took American flight lessons and hijacked American airplanes. Keeping them out of this country would have not allowed steps two or three to occur. Of course, the liberals would have a fit with that. Another thing, too, would be profiling at airports--categorizing people by age, birthplace, genealogy, and religion, among other things, would also eliminate the "here vs. there" debate. I think some countries do the latter one--America would probably benefit, as it does have the tools and technology for it. It doesn't have to be done governmentally--individual airlines can do it themselves (Delta, American, US Airways, Hooters, etc.), so the "big government" issue can be eliminated there.
I know my suggestions probably have more holes in them than Swiss cheese, but they can be put on the table.
As for other candidates, my biggest fear is that Hillary Clinton will grab the Democratic nomination and then the White House. Personally, I don't want that to happen, which is why I am privately rooting for Barack Obama and maybe John Edwards to grab the Democratic nomination (not to see them win, but to keep Hillary out of the White House. In the event that Mrs. Clinton grabs the Democratic nomination, the Republicans have to put up someone likeable and, alas for you, someone who is relatively distant from Mr. Bush to prevent Clintonism Part Deux. Yes, it's probably going to have to be someone who supports a phased or complete Iraqi withdrawal, but then again, someone might have to take one for the team, if you know what I mean.
Then again, I seem to have admiration for men who deliver babies. I don't know why. First Bobby Jindal (whom I support for LA governor greatly) and now Dr. Paul. Maybe it's some secret sick obsession, eh?
Peace out,
Jack X
Here is my final post before your next one, and I promise.
The more I think about it, I think that our current president is "Democrat-inspired." I'll respect the "divinely inspired" appraoch, as it inspired me to create my little theory. It's just that President George W. Bush has committed several missteps in his presidency that are reminiscient to those committed by some infamous former Democrat presidents.
For example, he is often described as stubborn and he got this country into a war that is killing his support and has rather vague, undefined goals, similar to the actions of both (Democrat) Presidents Johnson, respectively. Of course, the actions of President Andrew Johnson caused him to lose his Democratic base in Congress (dealing with Reconstruction) that caused the Republicans to gain control of the House and Senate (radical ones at that, thank God the Democrats who gained control of both houses are, mostly, rather grounded--remember that Republicans were considered liberal at the time) that tried to impeach him (personally, had the 22nd amendment not been created for today, I am sure the Democrats would have tried to impeach Bush by now). The actions of President Wilson with going to war with the rosy "liberator" scenario and President LBJ fiasco with Vietnam caused a major textbook failure. Of course, there are plenty of comparisons now between Vietnam and Iraq. It's amazing how, after all these years, Thomas Woodrow Wilson has gotten away scot-free, even though he campaigned as an isolationist in 1916 yet within a year of being reinaugerated, he flip-flopped and sent and drafted many people into WWI.
President Carter (how interesting to mention him the day after his anti-Bush tirade) also faced high gas prices which caused his ratings to disintegrate, and he also had the Panama Canal controversy--similar to how the current president and the Dubai ports issue from last year.
Look, I am sorry for slamming our Democrat, nay, divinly-inspired president. I guess these gas prices are getting into my head.
I just hope Fred Dalton Thompson doesn't throw me in a mental hospital with Michael Moore.
By the way, I really found that Thompson rebuttal to be very classic. My approval rating on him has grown quite considerably. Still, I'm for Dr. Paul, but if things don't work out, I will definitely consider former Senator Thompson among other alternatives.

I respect that, Jack X. But I'm naturally going to keep supporting our divinely-inspired President and supporting America!
