birthday

I thought I had learned all the Democrats' tricks for extracting money from gullible party members, but a new one has popped up.
This summer, you see, the Democratic National Committee is expecting to cash in -- literally -- on the coming birthday anniversary of the president of the United States.
How about that for a political gimmick?
The DNC has sent me a mailer containing a letter, a blank "birthday card" with a picture of the White House, a return envelope and a form to be filled out by making a contribution of $100, $150. $200 or "other."
This goes back to the DNC on South Capitol Street SE in Washington. That's who gets the money. The "Happy Birthday President Obama" card supposedly goes to the White House.
Well, I checked with Google. Google states that, yes, Barack Obama was born on Aug. 4, 1961. And he was born in Honolulu, Hawaii.
Which, of course, is part of the United States of America, and so on Aug. 4 Barack will be 49 -- a 49-year-old native-born citizen of this country.
He was not born in Kenya or Timbuktu or anywhere else in Africa, no matter what you hear over and over again from a raging, rabid pack of extremist, low-life, narrow-minded, fork-tongued, venomous, sanctimonious, race-baiting sons of something.
As for my position on campaign contributions, I have on occasion been kmown to send a couple of bucks to worthy Democrats. But since right now I'm sort of tapped out, I was about to pass on this "birthday" promotion.
Then I got to thinking how many raging, rabid, extremist, low-life, narrow-minded fork-tongued, venomous, sanctimonious, race-baiting sons of something there are in this country, and how much I dislike them.
So. okay, I'm going to send along a couple of birthday bucks to the Democrats -- just for spite.
