Sad day in American history | 5:53 a.m. July 8, 2008
It is with great sadness that GM must get rid of the Hummer -- this vehicle is a grat symbol of America, next to the American flag and the endangered American eagle! The Hummer conquered Iraq. It provided drivers a sense of self-worth and pride! More importantly, it was a necessity as America's roads deteriorated and citizens had to face the increasing dangers of crime and guns in urban communities. As liberals tout the wonders of the Prius, I continue to hear the great words of Rush Limbaugh echo in my mind when he said of the hybrid, "I wouldn't be caught dead in one of those things!" Obama says we can solve our energy woes with ethanol and renewables, but McCain has a real plan -- more nukes and oil! As far as I can tell, Hummers still take gasoline, so no wimpy wind power and ethanol isn't going to bring back the Hummer. Americans need to unite and preserve our American way of life that so many people the world over envy and wish they could live! We need to fight for freedom and access to oil around the world before we lose any more symbols, Hummer included!

You are either a brilliant satirist poking fun at the many crazy far right fundamentalists that plague our country or you are absolutely mad.

I hope for the former.

God Bless.

A long row of unsold H3s sits at a Hummer dealership in Castle Rock, Colo., on Sunday, July 6, 2008. GM already has decided to study the sale of its Hummer brand. The big trucks aren't the right product for consumers facing $4 per gallon gasoline.  (David Zalubowski, Associated Press)
