***Yes, It's More Liberal Crap

Both Sharon Cobb and Ripley pointed me to K-Otix's remix of Kanye West's "Gold Digger." This, America, is something else. A funeral dirge you can dance to. Here, in under four minutes, is how I feel about that whole thing--rage, impotence, and defiance. You've got to laugh in the face of your enemies. It's the only unimpeachable offense we have. Laugh and bring these motherfuckers down. I was thinking about it this morning and I checked around and I don't see anyone else saying it, so I will. Vote them all out. Democrat, Republican, Independent. Fuck them. Vote them all out. Start as soon as you can. Vote and vote against incumbents. Things are fucked up. They are fucked up so bad that people are dead. Blame Bush, but that doesn't go far enough. Blame the mayor, blame the governor. There's enough blame to go around. If every person in a position of power had to take responsibility for one dead person from this storm, we'd run out of politicians to blame for this shit before we ran out of dead folks. So, fuck the Republican party and their heartless leader. Vote them out. The Democrats too busy angling to look like they're not soft on terror to ask why the government needs to have mechanisms in place to see what books I'm reading but not a plan for dealing with a wide-spread unpredicted catastrophic event in a major U.S. city (which is the kind of terrorist attack they've been promising now for four years)? Vote them out. Why should anyone who's in power now remain in power? There's no good reason. We'd be better off to start fresh. Get some people in there who haven't gotten too accustomed to their power and too used to basically being able to keep it. We're supposed to be a democracy. We don't need a ruling class. Vote those motherfuckers out.

This really isnt liberal crap, though, in fact, it hearkens back to the founding principles of our government. The idea of the gentleman farmer, who does his duty to the country by serving in congress for a few short months and then goes back to the fields. I think you might actually be a closet conservative or maybe your rage has you confused.

Who knew that Aunt B. was truly an unreconstructed Washingtonian conservative?

Yep. Cronyism is a MAJOR problem in Washington. When I interned there (no blowjobs for my boss, thanks) it struck me as sick and twisted how all the guys who were voted in to be a voice for one POV or another were ALL (Dems and Repubs alike) just countryclub golf buddies with their kids in private schools. Any partisan fighting they do is not borne out of their ideals, but out of their individual quests for power.

Now we move into the fabled Phase Two of the Libertarian's Secret Plan. The Disillusionment and Disgust of the Electorate.

C-c-conservative? The word sounds so strange in my mouth. The use of it on me feels a little dirty.

Has the world gone mad? I ask you on this day, when I am being accused of hearkening back to unreconstructed Washingtonian ideas, has the world gone mad?

I don't even own any land. How can I be a gentleman farmer?

I should have known the libertarians were behind my recent political persuasion confusion.

Don't worry. I'll regain my equilibrium. I'll start demanding I be allowed to pay more taxes or something.

Haven't you noticed the subtle yet obstinate infusion of libertarian presence on your blog?

Oh, I bet the Legal Eagle is having a good laugh at this. Throwing his head back and laughing long and hard.

He's been laying the groundwork for this nonsense (both the invasion and my floundering to maintain my liberal composure) for a long time.

Good show, LE, good show.

But even if I convert--which I won't--don't expect me to bring cookies for everyone to the great Libertarian meet-up. I wouldn't want to offend y'all with any free handouts. I'll just expect you can provide your own cookies or pay what the market will bear for mine.

In the libertarian utopia we have planned, everyone will bring their own damn cookies and a free market of cookie trade will flourish, bringing prosperity to all.

Okay, according to the Libertarian Political Compass Quiz, I'm still firmly liberal, with a personal issues score of 100% and an economic issues score of 20%

Thank god. My faith in myself has been reaffirmed.

Are you really going to trust libertarians to tell you you're liberal? The quiz doesn't want to shock you into doing anything crazy like voting Democrat.

I'm telling everyone in the office that Aunt B is libertarian....

I took your little quiz, surprise, surprise, I was a libertarian, which, although I do accept some of their tenents, is not how I would describe myself (I for one am not in favor of the legalization of drugs, for instance, nor do I feel that all government spending is evil, per se).

What I cant believe is the expanse of your rage, you would remove from office the true darlings of the left, your hillaries and your feinsteins and what not, and then where would you be. If the conservatives through out all of their bums, there would be a fresh crop ready to take their place. You know Pat Robertson is just itching to have some authority so he can really knock of Chavez and James Dobson has a whole army of retards ready to elect him. But who do you have that is not already captured by your vote the fuckers out movement?

I would hate to see your righteous indignation destroy what little progress you have made.

We have one darling--Feinstein.

But Hillary? Ms. Newly Anti-Abortion Hawk in Iraq Clinton? "Don't kill 'em in your womb 'cause we need to kill 'em in Iraq" Clinton? Ms. "I moved to New York because I knew I could get elected there" Clinton?

Don't even get me started.

And I'm right. We need to throw them all out. Even if it means that Dobson gets his idiots elected for a few years.

I mean, shit, at least then we'd really know how much support he was able to muster, as opposed to fearing it.

Fear of what's worse waiting in the wings to take over didn't stop those idiots from invading Iraq. It shouldn't stop us idiots from reclaiming our country.

Oh my god. Did I just say "reclaiming our country."? What the fuck is going on? It's like B. has lost her mind day.

Hey, at least everyone would have a ready-made answer to "where do you want to go today?"
