Hi There, Idiotlogue Whirld Neighbour
I visited a couple of your rightwing websites last week because every once in a while I like to read what you guys (and dolls) are saying. The entries are very interesting - if somewhat paranoid and rather misleading as to the actual news you deliver your crazy slant on - but the comments following the entries - whoa Nelly - those are some whack.
How do you guys sleep at night? Or more to the point - how do your nearest and dearest sleep at night? I mean, with you guarding the homestead, armed to the teeth out on the front porch, taking aim against... uh.... door-to-door... Lefties?
I actually had to stop reading, first the comments, then the entries - I was that afraid for the children. All our children. Everywhere. Including the unborn.
But it's tough being a rightwing ideologue these days, I guess. Your guy, Bush, is in power in the United States and your other guy, Harper, is in power here in Canada. The right has political power, media power, and corporate America runs the world, and yet - things are worse than ever - if I can believe what I read on your internet sites, anyway.
The rage of the right rages on as if it isn't all going your way. As if the facts of the matter are different than they are. As if reality is something else entirely than what it is.
It's quite something. Your complete denial of power. Really, someone should have told you sooner, I guess, but we thought you knew - we sure know it - "You won".
I mean, how good does it have to get for you rightwing ideologues before you look up from your angry posts and accept that YOU are responsible for how things are going these days. The United States has been in the grip of ideologically-driven hard-right Republicans for almost two administrations now. Canada is in the midst of a radical makeover by a Separatist Alberta Reformer turned New Conservative - as I type this entry.
YOU are the chattering classes.
Look at bourque today, check out the headlines, and tell me there isn't a clear and present bias in the media:
And yet, the left, the liberal media, feminists - WE are all still your big bad bogeymen. WE are the problem, to blame, the giant wrecking ball currently knocking everything down all around the world. We stand in the way of... what exactly?
Good grief. We've been completely sidelined by rightwing ideologue choices hellbent on remaking the North America of 2007 into the North America of 100 years ago - you know, as shown by the Little House on the Prairie television series of the 1970s.
Cripes, it's not our fault gingham and crinoline come from China and India and may cause sudden death syndrome because the cotton was sprayed with Asbestoleadbenomylthiramcarbofuranide and the hoops are radioactive. WE want fair trade, regulations, inspections - RESPONSIBLE GOVERNMENT.
Dudes - catch up to the now. This is YOUR world we're in. YOU guys are in charge. If things are a mess - look in the mirror. Man, oh man. American civil rights are at the low ebb you wanted, Canada is more closely aligned with an American Republican administration than ever before, the judiciary is politicized, God is back, and, well - YOU'RE WINNING!!
You should be celebrating in the streets, not whining on internet forums about how the left is trying to redo the undoing before it's sufficiently undone.
Of course we are. That's what we do. Fight for progress. But trust me - with you guys in charge and running the show - it's a pointlessly time-consuming uphill battle that will take us years.
But I never did understand what you guys hated so much about social progress, anyway - that you would want to reverse it all. I mean, where's the downside to more rights for more people than ever before in the history of the world? It's not like more rights for others means fewer rights for you, you know. It means more rights for EVERYBODY.
Oh.
And, of course, with all that freedom comes the array of choices it entails. I know, I know - you guys never like my choices. Well, make your own choices, then. Like when you vote for for policians who want to restrict ALL our choices and take us back to a simpler time that never was except on television before it became all cluttered up with sex and violence and all manner of politically incorrect stuff you say you want but don't really - not when it's REALLY politically incorrect and goes against YOUR establishment - like the one that is currently in power.
And, of course, again - choosing is hard. Me? I like having choices. Yes indeed - I'll take a myriad of choices over no choice every single Gawddamned time.
Oops. I swore. But it doesn't matter because I don't have to pretend I believe in Gawd and that taking the mythical creature's name in vain will condemn me to a fiery eternity in hell. I can say "Fuckshitgoddamnhell" and step on sidewalk cracks and cross in front of black cats and do all manner of Bad Voodoo and not worry my pretty little head about any of it because you guys are the ones running things and if it all fucks up and goes to hell - it's your fault - not mine.
Oh.
Or is THAT what you're mad about...
