Four More Years of Freedom
By: Justin T Wood

November 2nd, 2004 is a day that will forever be etched into my memory. I remember it quite nicely, that fateful day. I arose from a wonderful slumber with the sun on my face, got on the bus and headed to McMaster University just like any other day. But this day was different. Oh yes, there was something in the air, I could smell it. Adrenaline, nervous tension, nail-biting despair, yes, that’s what it was.

For many of my hipster uni-friends there was a shred of hope in their eyes that the world would become somewhat less unbearable. In case you haven’t guessed it already, I speak of the American presidential election, and if you didn’t guess that, then please stop reading this as you are a moron.

That aside, it is fair to say that the majority of McMaster students would probably be voting for the Democratic party, and their skelitor leader John “flip-flop” Kerry. Most of my colleges would cringe when I mentioned George W. Bush’s name. I agreed with them for the most part and never really thought twice about it. “Bush is an idiot and a liar” they would rant to me “He only went into Iraq for oil, where are those damn WMD’s I want to see them g*****n it, he makes me so angry” and I would nod with a straight face, and absorb their hatred.

But the past few months this rebellious, p****d off attitude about the U.S president has been bringing me down, making me feel powerless and weak. It was then that I started to get these feelings, deep down in my heart a yearning to become something better than a whiny little Canadian student. I wanted to be a real man. I cast away the little cry-baby that was me and thought “I am re-born”, Bush rocks!

This wasn’t an easy thing to do, and I found the best way to achieve my goal of Bush-dom, was to put myself in the shoes of the Commander-in-Chief himself. I started with the election in 2000,
“Alright”, says I, “I have just rigged an election and become the most powerful man in the world, what the f**k am I going to do now?”. The answer was simple: go fishing, hunting and drink mad beers. Wouldn’t you?

Secondly, I examined how manly it would feel to tell the United Nations, a global assembly consisting of some of the most powerful nations of the world, that I didn’t give a shit what they think, I’m going to war whether you babies like it or not. Don’t like it, too bad, I have a three TRILLION dollar army that’s hankering to rock and roll.

And finally, I thought of home on the ranch in Texas. It would be magnificent riding my steed through the low rolling hills illuminated by a sun as bright as oil fires. I would smell the manure, and fresh Texas soil and knowing I have the support of millions of Americans, I would let our a evil chuckle that would echo from San Francisco to New York

Alright, enough of fantasy, lets get back to business. I am really looking forward to four more years of freedom, whether you do or not. Freedom isn’t always free, and peace comes at a price, people have to understand this. Democrats have no hope, the Commander-in-Chief has taken the reigns for four more years of good times, and no matter how many articles you publish, rallies you attend, or political cartoons you sketch, you will still have those beauty eyes and big round ears staring back at you.

The moment I embraced Bush, I felt complete bliss. To quote George Orwell “But it was all right, everything was all right, the struggle was finished. He had won the victory over himself. He loved Big Brother”.
