Checking in a bit late
Now now, danwhateverthe fuck; you protest not to be Boolean-challenged, then leap to the conclusion that - fervent opposition to a patently corrupt bunch of nutters on a crusade directed by Gawd: means you're a 'Democrat Party apparatchik'. Thus, must 'believe' ___. And especially ____! if not __.
Shit, next you'll say that opposition to this cabal - means you're a Liberal (because caballists say *they* are/were some sort of mondo degenerated Conservative). That should slogan-off any remaining ground.
My vigilance has been alive and healthy since McCarthy - live on Tee Vee and getting his head handed to him by Welch. Since then, I've become increasingly aware of how this One Party with Two Right Wings soap mocks language so effectively that there really is no possibility of political debate, outside of protected compounds, until after blood happens.
Vigilance generally though, is a poor 43rd.. somewhere after concerns about leather-seat colors in the new UAV.
As the wealth concentrates further, the low end unravels deeper and in exciting new ways.. and the utterly subservient 'congress' hunkers down to resist all efforts to induce $election reform, by all means available: I expect to see the blood, right here in River City.. long before any actual sane language might someday have a 'prayer' (as they say). Wow - that'd be a First! in my experience anyway.
No point in debating with you ~ just How-fucked IS the cabal? If that was the question.
If I can't recognize a rerun of '30s bafflegab, jingoism and unprecedented massive lies by now - you fucking well aren't going to teach me how, nor convince me that "this has just been another ordinary, sorta confused-but-Sincere Murican 'administration'" cha cha. Not a Chance.
But then -- maybe we'll see how it went -- by 11-5? 11-12? 12-2? .. 2005?
Either way and whoever 'wins', you and offspring will be paying for this past 4 years 'til well past their voting age, if not their retirement age, too (?)
If there is 'retirement' under capitalism for the poor and socialism for the rich? we're apt to find out soon.
Ta ta
Edit: Added 50% to $ACLU this year and last, a tad more than usual to CDI (Center for Defense Info.) et alia. One 'affords' with scale and relativity, thus some deprivation - or remains a cheapskate piker for life. Only Art can save us next.
Oh.. and - if you see no vast ergo significant difference in the mental acuity of Shrub/Kerry, let alone in their 'emotional-age grouping' -- probably most words in support of that position, will fail. Too.
Betcha still haven't experienced Manfred, o slothful One ;-)
!-Boolean doesn't seem to offer many automatic guarantees of sentience, either -
How shall we slay the culture of euphemism, before it metastasizes?
er what IS.. the umm 'opposite' of 'opposite-games' BTW - analog?
