Here’s a funny Onion video:

Man Becomes GOP Frontrunner After Showing No Interest In Government

They have a fake quote from Hot Air in it, but really this is something I’ve argued time and time again: A true conservative would have to be dragged kicking and screaming into office. For instance, I like Palin’s biography, but the one thing that’s always made me suspicious of her is that she one day woke up and said, “I’d like to become a politician.” What conservative would do that? Wanting to go in government and interfere with other people rather than work in a real job is a liberal impulse, and thus anyone who shows interest in public office is already compromised in their conservative principles. We keep complaining about how the Republicans end up as just Democrats lite, but that’s because instead of us electing conservatives, we elect politicians. If we want to find people who will actually tear down government and won’t spend our money, we need to find people who don’t want to be there in the first place and don’t care about staying.

My solution: Change the House of Representatives to be like jury duty. People are randomly selected from their districts and have to serve for two years whether they like it or not. If we don’t want the usual sociopaths attracted to running for office, we have to end running for office.

There really doesn’t seem to be a rhyme or reason to Obama. We have revolutions going on in the Middle East, Japan in complete crisis, and budget battles at home, so what does Obama do? Write an oped about gun control. Why? The public doesn’t care about gun control right now, and enough time has passed since the Arizona shooting that even the left isn’t talking about it. Obama keeps all his statements about gun control very moderate, but one has to wonder what’s his purpose in trying to create momentum in an issue people are fine with it being left alone.

Anyway, based on Obama’s actions, I’ve made a guide to his past and future solutions to big, real world problems:

OBAMAS SOLUTIONS TO HUGE PROBLEMS

High unemployment = Health care reform
Huge oil spill = Windmills
Record deficits = High speed rail
Earthquake hits Japan = Gun control
Terrorist attacks = Education reform
Deadly flu outbreak = Net neutrality
China gears up for war = More regulations on greenhouse emissions
Supervolcano under Yellowstone erupts = Better child nutrition standards
Nuclear attack = More funding for the arts
Alien invasion = Legalize gay marriage

Must be some complex thought process that leads from these problems to Obama’s solution. Or maybe he just doesn’t care or understand the problems going on and just wants to pursue the left-wing agenda he thought he was elected for. People have conspiracies about Obama not being born in America, but he sure doesn’t seem to live here now.
