That's Politics

My family is very political. Except for brother Pat (who must have been dropped on his head as a baby) we are all liberal democrats. We all cried tears of joy when Barack H. Obama was elected President of the United States. When those against us cried tears of despair for the man's election, well, we weren't going to let them rain on our parade. Oh well, that's politics. One team wins and the other loses. Kinda like baseball. The game goes on despite who wins it all from year to year. The game is bigger than this years champion, last years or the next. That's baseball.

Remember in the sixties when some hippie wag declared that, "The revolution will be televised!"? Well, I don't know what he was smoking...but, it seemed very profound at the time.

I don't think though that this nostradumbass knew that in the future that television would have such a profound impact on American culture and politics. I think he meant that "the revolution" would be reported by television, shown on the nightly news- not created by television. I don't think that the guy figured on a FOXNEWS. Who did?

Jon Stewart did a great piece on The Daily Show illustrating how FOXNEWS manufactured the current disruptions at various town hall meetings. Talk about a news cycle. They create the vitriol, suggest that people repeat said vitriol to the powers that be and then they REPORT it as news! Truly fucking amazing. This is why I get all my FOXNEWS fron Jon Stewart and Keith Olberman. If I must listen to such bullshit, I want it sweetened with the milk of human comedy.

If there is a revolution as they seem to be calling for, it will be televised and it will be "Brought to you by, the good folks at FOXNEWS- where we're always 'fair and balanced'...by Halliburton (a subsidary of your friends at KBR) and by Wall Street-' We didn't see this depression coming but, what the fuck, let us do what we want!'"

America is and mightcould always be, the greatest country in the history and in the future of this world. The very bottom line of this whole mess is that the majority of us chose a black man as our leader. FOXNEWS and every asshole on every political thread in any venue of the internet can deny this all they want- and accuse me and others of playing the race card- but, these people are upset because we elected a "nigger" as president. It is that simple. It IS that wrong. I WILL be that honest about it.

America right now is like a spoiled brat of a 16 year old child. The house this child lives in is a warm, comfortable home. There is food on the table, the shelter is a good home. It is a good life.

The child needs nothing but WANTS everything. And, when does that child want it? NOW! The kid "deserves" and demands it RIGHT NOW! Why, because it's "unfair!" Other people have this-that and the other thing! I want that!

There's no talking to a child like this. You should have seen it coming back when they promised to hold their breath until they turned blue. You hoped that they'd grow out of it. But, now they are threatening to run away- start their own family. TO HELL WITH THIS FAMILY!, they cry.

Enough with the metaphors. These greedy republicans know it's all about money and power. God forbid they wait four years and create a candidate who can defeat Obama (though I doubt such a man exists and I'm certain it ain't the woman they have in mind...). No, they have to try to destroy America in these four years to have a chance in 2012. Yeah, fuck America. Destroy this country to prove how much you love it! If we're fighting in the streets in four years it's ONLY because the majority of us foolishly decided to falsely elect a nigger/muslim/not born here/communist/marxist/every-thing-FOX-can-think-of...PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA!

Yes, he's my president. He's your president too. You don't like it- deal with it. If you can't deal with it, fuck you.

And, go clean up your room, America. As long as you live under my roof, it's my rules...
