I Know What Boys Like
October 24th, 2014 | Author: Michael Douglass | Edit

We are this close to the midterm elections and the goddamn GOP is about to close it hard on irrational fear.

Isis and Ebola.

Fear porn.

How did we get here?

Completely random elaborately imagined clusterfucks that would not survive the advent of oxygen or sunlight if applied. I am sick to death of fear masquerading as politics.

As reason.

The phenomena says two things about the American electorate. Neither one is pretty. The first reveals that by and large, most of us are dumb as fucking sticks. Exasperatingly gullible. The second one is not much better. It says that progressive, forward thinking people are still too goddamn lazy or passive to muster a counter offensive to such ridiculous bullshit.

It’s hard to spot if you’re not looking for it.

The positions taken by the GOP as a whole in the last two years, just might win them a short term game. They’ve never been adept at long term thinking anyway, so yep. On the wrong side of Civil Rights for example. Social Security, Medicare.....I could go on and on. Contrary to widely held belief, they’re shitty with budgets too; they make Democrats look Fisher Price.

But now they’re a new kind of crazy.

America has become her own sin.

Two wars. One for no reason at all and another who’s reason is lost.

The richest country in the world can’t pay for itself, but she she can still afford to send her children to die and kill.

While her people can’t find work.

There are five people hoping for every job available.

There’s no question that this fucktard down in Gainesville Florida who wants to burn the Koran is an abject idiot. There’s no doubt that such an empty headed and bigoted stunt will inflame anti-American sentiment and therefore increase the risk faced by all our troops and even citizens of this country abroad and at home. His "church" has less than fifty members. That he matters and is able to somehow command worldwide fascination concusses my gag reflex. The man is an egomaniacal idiot.

This one that has irresponsibly, recklessly come to be known as the "Ground Zero Mosque". Nomenclature at it’s most absurd. It’s stupid.

Progressives are despondent, Democrats diluted and liberals dismayed.

All the while, Republicans get their mad on and the Tea Party spilleth over.

I’m well aware of the predictable dynamic that virtually dictates that the party in power, particularly when of the executive branch, will suffer losses in a mid-term election. Okay, yeah, I get it.

But have you seen who they’re running?

A manifesto of sorts. How to solve our own ugly, seemingly insurmountable problems as a nation and perhaps do as much for the rest of the world at the same time. I’m quite cognizant of how ambitious it may sound, yet things, answers, need not always be so convoluted. Simple answers for stupid questions indeed. I kicked this around for a few days with the object being what exactly would I do If I could. Turned out to be reasonably simple. Let us, shall we?

Greed permeates everything. It informs our day to day decisions, who we vote for, whether we know it or not, and even how we see ourselves. It has infected our bathroom mirrors. Greed is envy. It is lust. It is a cancer, insidious and consuming like the very worst drug ever. Eventually, everything collapses under the weight of greed. As a country, as a people, as a species, we’ve never been more threatened by greed than we are now. Right now. Yesterday, today and tomorrow.

Right now.

This is another one of those easy ones. It feels cheap because it’s it’s so goddamn obvious. Still, I’m happy to run with it because Rush Hudson Limbaugh is easily the biggest asshole ever to grace American media.

I have referred to him affectionately as "The Human Shitsmear" for years. Picture the amber stain in your white Calvins or if you go commando, that faint greasy brown swath up the back of your jeans that inspires you to turn them inside out before laundering them. Rush Limbaugh. Human Shitsmear. He lies, without shame, without conscience and without ever being held accountable. He lies.

I grew up in Carson City Nevada. Harry Reid is friend of my mother’s. She worked for him as his secretary when he first appeared in the Nevada State Legislature, when he came to be known as one half of the "Gold Dust Twins" along with Dick Bryan who went on to be governor and to the U.S. Senate as well. The first political campaign I ever worked in was for Mr. Reid when he ran for Lt. Governor against Paul Laxalt. I was nine years old.

He lost.

I watch a lot of that liberal, progressive, socialist, pinko media. Olbermann, Maddow, The Daily Show, Hardball, The Colbert Report...........love Bill Maher and Michael Moore. I’m a voracious reader: The Huffington Post, Daily Kos, Truthout, The Nation, Salon.......you get the idea. I do my level best to monitor the other side, I listen to Limbaugh and Hannity everyday for as long as I can possibly stand it. Fucking blow hards be as they may.

So it’s sometimes difficult to abstain from merely parroting various points of view, being a liberal, progressive socialist, pinko myself. Often I’ll author a piece only to discover that an article, op-ed or televised segment is so congruent to what I’ve already written that I fear being accused of plagiarism. Great minds think alike? It’s true, they do. Having said that, I can’t help but agree with Olbermann’s special comment this eve and endeavor to expound on it.
