The Rice Report

Yellow Journalism at its best!

Monday, September 3, MMXII

Dear Mr. Romney:-

Please don't get me wrong, I like you, and for sure, I'm going to vote for you, unless Barry Soetero Hussein Obama has a religious conversion (to Christianity, that is, not Mormonism), starts reading the Bible and quoting the Constitution. Of course, by my estimation, this has less a chance of happening than pigs flying. So, when I have some complaints about you and the Republican Convention, please remember I'm a member of the loyal "supposition" (those who "suppose" you might make a decent president) and not the "opposition." Let's start with something you said near the opening of you acceptance speech:

"I wish President Obama had succeeded because I want America to succeed."

I do have to take issue with this on several points. I, too, wanted America to succeed, but, unlike you, I desperately wanted Barry Obama to fail in roaring flames. In fact, I wanted America to succeed because I wanted Barry Obama to fail. In other words, Mr. Romney, America could succeed only if Barry Obama failed. I don't think you've quite grasped this. Barry Obama's vision of America is not my vision and I know it's not yours, either. At least, that's my hope. Barry Obama succeeding means America is failing, and in Barry Obama's own eyes you can be sure he was a success beyond his wildest dreams.

When America succeeds it means that someone who sought out Marxist professors as his confidents in college, as Barry Soetero Obama confesses in his all too premature autobiography, fails. And that's what I want, Mr. Romney. I want Barry Obama to fail, and, therefore, I want America to succeed.

Someone else gave a speech that basically said Barry Obama is a regular guy, just a bit confused, just like you did. That someone is Marco Rubio. Do you remember what Mr. Rubio said? It was conciliatory to Mr. Soetero just like your quote.

"Our problem with Obama is not that he's a bad person, he's a bad president."

Again, Mr. Romney, I have to take issue here. We have to realize that what makes Barry Obama a bad president is just the thing that makes him a bad, a very bad, person. Now surely Mr. Rubio didn't mean Mr. Obama is a bad president because he's "inept." Oh, no, Mr. Romney, he's one of the cleverest, most coniving, most strong-armedly competent president's we've ever had. Just remember, he gutted Wellfare Reform with an executive order and congress didn't even burp at such an illegal activity. He even managed to threaten John Roberts into upholding his socialist healthcare scheme. No, Mr. Romney, he's quite competent at accomplishing what he sets out to do and he's accomplished everything he's set out to do.

What makes him a "bad" president for Mr. Rubio is the very thing that makes him a marvel for his sycophantic progressives--his Marxist ideology and his Marxist accomplishments. That's what makes him a bad president, Mr. Romney, the fact that he's a very good Marxist. Now, Mr. Romney, you have to ask yourself, was Hitler a "bad" person or just a bad Chancellor? Was Stalin a bad person, or just a bad Premier? Was Mao a bad person, or just a bad Chairman? What made these people "bad," Mr. Romney? I'll tell you what it was, Mr. Romney, it was their ideology that made them bad persons because their ideology was not just bad, but downright vile and evil. Anyone who can't see the consequences of his ideology, especially when it enslaves, kills, and destroys for the common good, is either supremely stupid or supremely evil. Hitler, Stalin, and Mao were not supremely stupid, Mr. Romney, and neither is Barry Soetero Obama. But anyone who embraces a vile and evil ideology having a full century to see its consequences in retrospect is, I submit to you, Mr. Romney, a vile and evil person himself.

So, Mr. Romney, I submit to you that if Obama is not a bad person then, neither were Hitler, Stalin, and Mao. they were just pursuing their avowed ideologies. But persons are not separate entities from their beliefs and core values. There's no such thing as a valueless person. And if their core values were the things that made Hitler, Stalin, and Mao bad persons, then I submit to you that's the very thing that makes Barry Soetero Hussein Obama a bad, a very, very bad person as well.

So, Mr. Romney, let me leave you and Mr. Rubio with this question: "Was Al Capone a bad person, or just a bad community organizer?"

"Keep thy heart with all diligence, for out of it are the issues of life."
