Alright, let’s get to it:
1st, I voted for Obama and you will never see me criticize him for what he does unless it is directly counter to what he clearly stated while running (i.e. having a transparent administration, saying he is reaching across the aisle and then giving Acorn a shit-ton of taxpayer money). But, I’d be a liar if I said I voted for Obama because we have the same political views. I voted this way for a couple reasons:
A) We went from Bush vs. Gore to Bush vs. Kerry to Obama vs. f**king McCain. If a Democrat didn’t win this election in four years it probably would have been Hugo Chavez vs. Sean Penn as the candidates for US president. And, if my choice is a Democrat vs. a democrat I’ll vote for the one that had enough sense to register with the correct party.
B) The right has no voice. The far left controls the Democrats. The Moderates control the Republicans. I only get to hear the nuts from one side. The far right has no national soapbox or podium. I want shit to be fair and balanced. When I hear some left wing cult member retard say something crazy, I want to hear what Pat Robinson or someone who thinks like him has to say. The left has done a great job at pushing the boundary left, and saying someone mid-right of center is on the far right. This is where the cult members will have a hissy fit and a thick-froth of milky Truth-anger will spread forth from their labia’s and cover them in an impenetrable shield of fanatical ignorance and self-righteousness. They want everyone to believe an equivalent as crazy as slap is to punch as stab is to nuclear war when it comes to who the cult deems to be opposites on the left and right. I want crazy counter-balances. Not cult-skewed rhetoric. The only way to bring things a little evener (to like 75/25 left/right skewed down from 90/10) is to have a democrat in the oval office.
C) Its entertaining
Now, to the fine and exceedingly brilliant folk who want to call me republican/conservative or claim to know my side of the isle, I would like to remind you the old saying of what happens when you make an assumption? I am the most reasonable man alive, and that rules out all the talk of me somehow being fanatical. I truly strive to be apolitical, but fail horribly. And my politics insure no president will ever share my views. Even though everything I say makes sense, no one here will agree with me, because no one is as reasonable as I am. The fact I know my politics have no traction with any population in the world shows I am not and can never be a fanatic. I’ll give some short examples:
Marriage: A marriage is a contract. Any consenting adult can enter into a contract with any other consenting adults. Marriage as any sort of government sanctioned institute is crazy, public or private. If I want to enter into a marriage contract with 118 members of either/both sex no one should have the right to say I can’t. I can, because we are all consenting adults, and because f**k you that’s why. You can’t reasonably restrict the right of adults to enter contracts over nonsense jibber-jabber. If you want someone to have clearly stated visitation rights if you are hospitalized, put it in the contract.
Abortion: if a woman can create life, she should be able to take it away. I’m all for mother’s having the right to abortion until the fetus is 18 years of age. I’m sure that will make everyone’s precious children be less annoying and better behaved. But, in fairness, if a reason a woman can have an abortion is she shouldn’t have to pay for the rest of her life for one mistake, let’s give guys that option through man-abortions where a man can decide to abort all financial obligations of unwanted children. Its bullsh*t women hold all the rights when it comes to not having to pay for a mistake. What happened to equal protection under the law?
Drugs: there is no reason all drugs shouldn’t be legalized. Regardless of the harm and the sob stories, people should have the right to make their own choices of what to put in their bodies. This one can’t really stand on its own without going in other issues such as the cost (what about universal healthcare, broken homes, destroyed lives, high employees at work, etc). I could write about it for 20 pages, but I have reasoning for everything and it comes back to legalized drugs in most instances.
I could go on and on. But the fact is I’m from Massachusetts. I was raised and brainwashed to hate republicans. I have been able to reject most of the cult indoctrination of hate my state gratiously programmed into me though. I could never be a Democrat knowing I belonged to a group including all college kids, professors, teachers, actors, “activists’ (or business lobbyists as the left calls activists on the right), and other nancy-ass pansy scum. And on the other hand I could never be a republican knowing I sided with hillbillies and people who believe its Halloween everyday and that somehow even though they have no job involving live cows call themselves cowboy/cowgirls. Country folk in general. One thing I am fanatical about is my hate and loathing of country music. It’s unreasonable, and therefore fanatical. It fills me with hate and rage and I have to suppress violent urges.
What’s today to a cowboy? Halloween. What’s tomorrow? What was yesterday, what’s ten years from now? Halloween. What kind of f**king moron wears a costume everyday? Cowboys. I see nothing wrong with actually cowboys wearing the attire for the business they work in, but actual cowboys make up like .0009% of the actual people who dress as a cowboy population. Just imagine if a huge segment of the population dressed up as dishwashers who, in fact, were not dishwashers. How is that different? Costume wearing weird-os. I hate how they consider themselves manly and macho when they wear skin tight jeans.
Also, I can’t see how or why anyone would live in the red states. Why would someone want to live in savage uncouth nothing uncivilization? “I like nothing!” Even California is a bunch of cowboys and hillbillies that got all pompous and uppity because they put on their Sunday best and sprayed a little perfume. There is some saying I can’t remember about dressing up a pig I think would fit here. The only civilized areas of this country are Massachusetts, Rhode Island, New York, New Jersey, and Philidelphia and Chicago (Pennsylvania and Illinois are hillbilly states, and small parts of Florida, some sections of New Orleans and Las Vegas. And outside of Massachusetts and Rhode Island, the civilized areas are filled with 100% idiots like Yankee fans and New Yorkers. I hate that I’ll have to move to Texas and live with a bunch cowboys and hillbillies if it secedes, but freedom from meddling more than worth that price.
Wow, I write a lot. I won’t be able to get into cults today, but let me reply to some stuff real quick. If I don’t pay some attention to my wife soon she will beat me.
Our country is actually an interesting mix of socialism and capitalism--medicare, social security, the FDIC, etc, and I happen to think it works out okay, though it needs some work at the moment.
Not to knit-pick, but this rules you out as being a socialist. At best you are a Fellow Traveler.
That smarts!!!!
Fair enough, glad to know the enlisted are cool with secession and treason, once again.
Not wanting to kill countrymen/former-countrymen/non-hostiles and/or deciding not to participate in an attack on them and being cool with secession and treason are different matters. Are you going to go kill Texans? I’m sure many soldiers who’d hate and would be very angry with Texas if it were to secede and viewed everything as black and white as you and believed as you still wouldn’t be willing or able to shoot.
It doesn’t work how you think. They don’t say go attack Canada and you go and attack Canada. No one is going to fight without reason, no one is going to risk their lives and kill without an explanation. All the poop-meetings for a new conflict start with the justification. Have you ever been shot at? It is very scary. Pulling a trigger is very hard. People wonder how bad shit happens in war. Once bullets are flying at you and you’re going to have to go forward and fight and maybe kill people you don’t hate your body and every instinct in you screams, “NO! Run Away!” You have to reach down deep and find something that will get your legs moving forward and some justification to squeeze that trigger (more than being fired upon), and sometimes what you get is something ugly. I feel so bad for the kids who are good people and just don’t have it in them, who have to reach down too far and come up with the bile and they’re f**ked up for life. I envy the people in the past, like in WW2, who were allowed to and fed tons of propaganda for the expressed purpose of to hate the people they killed.
