Libs Love Free Speech - Sort Of...

© 2007, by The Conservative Muse


True liberals cherish their freedom to speak; 

A range of opinion’s a goal that they seek.

They praise the amendment that cites these ideals

And aim to expand it with legal appeals. 

If perversion and weirdness you’d like to pursue

they’ll fight for your rights with the ACLU.

These tolerant views make them feel so benevolent,

with intellect, warmth and compassion so prevalent. 


But wait!  If you say it’s Rush Limbaugh you love,

Those same Dems will say, “Disregard the above!

In defense of free speech we’ll give all that we’ve got -- 

As long as it’s not that conservative rot.” 

They’re fuming ‘cause Rush has such huge popularity;

They’d ditch all their “values” to try to reach parity.


Most liberal schools are well-known to decline

To hear any speakers not toeing their line,

And willing to do so with methods quite violent.

In efforts to keep all contrarians silent

their pols are invoking the Doctrine of Fairness, 

assuming that people lack any awareness

of all of the options from which they can choose

to get a particular slant on the news.

Their scorn for the public’s IQ is uncanny!

(It leads to a push for a state known as “Nanny.”)


Libs brook any thought that one person supposes 

As long as it’s something no lefty opposes.

The samples above show a trend that exposes

The chilling effect a lib doctrine imposes.

Dumb and Dumber

© 2008, by The Conservative Muse

Barack’s silly plans have a source that’s no mystery:

He’s learned economics from socialist history 

by taking his cues from a Communist master,

The guy who steered Cuba to such a disaster,

the leftists’ most favored red tyrant since Mao:

It’s loveable Castro that’s showing him how. 


Fidel took Havana and handily seized

All privatized business whenever he pleased.

We’d say that Barack’s got some similar plans

To grab private assets with government hands

By taxing some profits he thinks are excessive,

pursuing Big Oil with a zeal so impressive. 


We’d say that taxation by random decree

Is Castro-like --- just to a smaller degree!

On top of this nonsense Obama has yearnings 

for redistribution of company earnings

as “rebates” to help all us suffering folk –

though their “stimulus” reason is proven a joke.


Take corporate profits to give to the people?

We think that Barack should go back to the steeple 

And preach about “change” for the rest of the summer.

For electoral hopes his idea’s a bummer

That proves that he steps to a socialist drummer.

As the months roll along, he gets dumber and dumber!

Those PIXAR Geniuses are Sure...Lefties?!

© 2008, by The Conservative Muse


Last weekend the Muse took his granddaughter down

To see the new Pixar film coming to town.

With hundreds of children the theater’s packed,

All victims of having their innocence whacked 

By subliminal anti-American themes

Of  “Wall-E,” the robot with socialist schemes!


“Now Muse,” you might think, “you’ve most surely gone nutty!

Your granddaughter’s mashed your dull wits to mere putty!”

But hear what we say and you’ll know we’re not rash:

Our Wall-E inhabits a world full of trash

That’s left in the wake of a vile corporation --

a criminal capitalistic creation! 


The “Buy N Large” company’s what they’re decrying.

(Could Wal-Mart and Sam’s Club be what they’re implying?)

Americans live in a space ship above

The world they’ve destroyed by their unfettered love

of over-consumption that makes them so fat

without the support of their chairs they’d go “splat.”


There’s shrewd use of colors:  The earth is all brown,

Except for a sprout of a plant that’s renown

For being a hero because it’s so “green”:

Enviro allusions abound on the screen. 

(We looked for Al Gore to appear in a scene!)

Thank goodness the kids can’t discern what they mean!

Where's the Bump?

© 2008, by The Conservative Muse

A “bump on a log” is a life-form that’s low;

A “bump in a road” means you gotta go slow.

Some bumps on your body can mean that you’re ill,

While others result from not taking The Pill.

Some bumps you may like, and there’s some you may not -- 

But a bump is one thing that Obama ain’t got!


We’re talking about the big bump in the polls

He should’ve received when those media souls

Accompanied him on his trip overseas

To fawn on huge crowds that he tried to appease

And who worshipped him like he’s Obama the Wise – 

While poor John McCain could draw nothing but flies.


With Katie and Brian and Charlie in tow,

It’s hard to believe, but there’s one thing we know:

Despite the PR that these anchors provide,

The polls in the States show he’s no more than tied!

So how to explain this apparent insanity?

Are we turning our back on the Hope for Humanity?


Perhaps it’s because, although Europe’s in love,

We ask that our leaders rise highly above 

Mere rhetoric promising empty abstractions. 

His cult personality serves up distractions

Lest people review his desired transactions.

Here’s hoping the polls show continued contractions!
