Thoughts on the Elections of 2006

Here we are, coming up on yet another election to determine which crooks we will let lead us. And. . .this is exactly what we are doing: choosing between these crooks and these other crooks. As if putting fictionally, blindly perceived good guys into a rotten system will result in goodness. If we are really thinking, if we are really paying attention--two intellectual attributes Americans of all shades gave up years ago--we would know that: 1) putting good guys into a rotten, criminal system will have no effect whatsoever, for they will be sucked up into that very rotten, criminal system; and 2) the Democrats are as crooked and greedy and inhuman as the Republicans, they only hide it better.

What really gets my gourd, though, is the Left--whoever the hell they are, "left" being a catch-all category for anyone who is not mainstream, suck-ass, mindless and for whoever's in authority at the moment. Here the Left, the revolutionaries of the late 20 th and early 21st centuries. . .here they are actually pitching the electing of one criminal over another, as if the Democrats are God's gift to mankind and sense and will do right by us. This is another example, as far as I'm concerned, of the American habit of slavery. We are enslaved to authority. We are enslaved to doing what we are told. We are enslaved to ideals we are told are good and right. We are enslaved to behaviors that are suppose to be signs and symbols of. . .uhhh. . .freedom and democracy--hated, misused, misunderstood word!--when, in fact, those behaviors are totally useless and meaningless.

Here we have a bunch of self-proclaimed fed up middle class kiddies acting just like what they say they despise--and in the process they tell the working class what it is they, the working class, want and should have. As if they know better. Yup. Let's only talk revolution. When it comes to actually doing something, even if it's making a choice, let's not and say we did. So, in the end, the Left, the revolutionaries, the Socialists, the Communists, the whateverists are spineless piles of excrement waiting for the flies to lay their eggs on them so that more maggots can be created.

What is this belief in a system that is so crooked, so rotten that even carrion will not partake of it? What is it that forces big talkers to rescind all they believe in, what is it that causes people to negate their intelligence in the face of facts and figures?

Look. . .the Democrats supported and continue to support the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan--and the future one in Iran. The Democrats support--and are supported by--the fascist Israeli state that believes in perpetrating Hitlerist policies on others because of perceived persecution (delusional thinking in dire need of medication). The Democrats voted to abrogate all power to the President--not even an elected President!--counter to all Constitutional law. The Democrats support the CIA in its intrigues of murder and mayhem, especially in the southern New World hemisphere --now and in the past. The Democrats supported slavery in the past and still do, though it's now coated with sugar. "Here, take this medicine; it's good for you. That's a good little boy/girl/something-or-other!" The Democrats are now mostly defected, disillusioned Republicans who are invoking the same old policies that got us in the present fix under a different face. As Washington Irving noted in Rip Van Winkle. . . the only difference in King George and President George was the clothing. Poe could not have written a more Gothic horror story than what's taking place this election. Talk about The Red Death! Run, run, run, run, runaway.

And so it's okay to support them. It's okay for the Left, the Socialists--I read The Socialist Worker because sometimes I need an ironic giggle--the Communists, the Feminists and the Whateverists to support crooks and liars, perverts and murderers, middle class/upper class arrogance and hubris because it's. . .well. . .it's American. And whatever's American is good. Yeh?

How sad America is. How sad so-called revolutionaries is.

Y'all are bullshit.

Y'all don't like me.

Neither does my mother.
