Title: You Want Your Country Back? Sure, here, take the fucking thing.....
Post by: AFK on August 17, 2010, 11:07:04 AM
....because it's broken anyway.

Good fucking lord, this place is going insane.  And it looks like the pretenses are just about melted away.  America sold itself for quite awhile as this great melting pot of cultures and peoples.  We had warm and fuzzy cartoons about Russian Mice risking their lives to emigrate to the U.S. to get a piece of the American Dream.  The Scorpions were singing about the Winds of Change and we were all a nice big happy global family.  Well, I guess not really, but at least the window dressing was pretty.

But fuck that noise now.  Are you Hispanic?  Get the fuck out of here!  Gay?  No marriage for you!  Muslim?  OH MY FUCKING GOD GET OUT OF NEW YORK CITY WITH YOUR COMMUNITY CENTER YOU JUST WANT TO BLOW UP MORE BUILDINGS WITH WOMMINZ AND CHILDRENZEZ AND I HATE YOU HATE YOU HATE YOU!!!!!

Jesus H. Christ.  People are simultaneously stuck in 2001 and 1940.  Civil fucking liberties?  Get that shit out of here!  If you don't bleed American Christian Red you aren't our kind and are probably trying to destroy America or something.  Yeah, that 9/11 thing fucking sucked.  You lost your brother, mother, father, cousin, best friend in the attacks?  I'm sorry.  But listen, let me give you some advice.  It's time to move the fuck on.  The bastards who killed your loved one pretty much evaporated when those planes hit those buildings.  The other masterminds are yucking it up right now in some mountain desert land on the other side of the Atlantic.  The people who want to build this community center don't want to get you again.  They just want to have a shiny building with a museum and coffee shop and other touristy-type things.  They're going to want you to come buy a set of coasters or something.  They aren't going to kill you!

But no, this country is fucking broken, and I don't know if it can be fixed or not.  So all of you dipshits out here screaming and crying and moaning about wanting your country back from the dirty hispanics, evil Muslims, blasphemous gays, and sooper sekret Kenyan Muslim Man Obama, take the goddamn thing!  It looks like shit and smells worse.

fuck yeah!

Yo it makes me want to create a fake platform of some sort
one which captures this spirit

AMERICA is for STRAIGHT WHITE MEN

It would be like: just take the subtext of the prop8 folks, the anti-muslim folks, the irrationally anti-obama folks (as opposed to the guys that dislike him for more well-grounded reasons), the entire fox news contingent, etc etc etc, just take all that subtext and state it really straight up in a way which doesn't disguise the racism, the paranoid nationalism, and the hegemony fetishism.

You don't have to be white and straight these days, just rich and well connected, but the same principles still function. If you are rich enough and have the right friends, then your 'flaws' will be, not forgotten, but temporarily overlooked.

Yeah, I've been too fat and complacent for the past 2 to 3 years.  

This stuff has just really been eating at me.  Ever since the birther stuff emerged, there has been this subtext that's been slogging along.  It used to be we would point and laugh at the right-wingers like David Duke who hated everyone who wasn't white.  "Aww, ha ha ha!!!  Look at that crazy David Duke.  Ain't he a riot?"

Now, it's mainstream.  The average joe is out in the street hollaring about the brown people and the gay people and the brown guy who is our President but really some sekret Muslim who wants to introduce socialist sharia law.

I think this mosque thing is really getting to me on a personal level because I work very closely with 4 individuals who are Muslims from Somalia.  They are the nicest people you could ever meet.  They love America and love being in America.  They want to be like the rest of us.  They want to wear jeans, they want to become adept at speaking English, they want to shop at Wal-Mart (poor souls).

And I've seen the rejection and hate first hand.  The fucking Mayor here at one point actually publicly announced that he didn't want any more Somalis moving into town.  They were some big huge catastrophic drain on resources when the actual facts showed the percentage of resources they use compared to others was in the single digits.  

I'm just done.  I'm an American still, but it's really just a technicality now.  This place is broken in ways that I can't even find words to express.

Either way, I'm not. Having. It.

It's all bullshit, RWHN.  It's all a gag, a fucking joke, there's no possible way this country can be as fucking stupid and hateful as it is without immediately falling to pieces.  I'm now 169% sure we're being had.

In response to this, I might make up some posters or flyers to put around town that say something like "LETS TAKE OUR COUNTRY BACK! Racist Homophobes against the Islamic Socialist Agenda Rally at [insert location and date]"

Yep.  It's like we're living in the middle of a spoof-film about present-day America.  But I think even this would be too far-fetched and out there for Mel Brooks. 

And it's really bad because even the foils are wilting.  I mean, I'm not terribly shocked that Harry Reid decided to sell out in order to beat the paper bag that is Sharron Angle in his re-election bid.  But man, he didn't even try to nuance it.  And Obama?  I thought he had actually grown a pair there for a minute on Friday.  But then comes Saturday and we discover they are attached by velcro. 

So who's fighting for the little guys now?  Right now I only see people fighting against the little guys.  I certainly hope you are right, that this is a big have-on and we'll find out the man behind the curtain is Bugs Bunny in a Newt Gingrich get-up. 

Because this gag reel is making me gag for real.

You know, I'm starting to believe that they're doing this on purpose.  It's not that they're so stupid as they don't understand an empire needs ethnic and religious plurality to survive more than 10 years without going all Nazi on everyone, it's that they really do want to violate Godwin's Law and fuck the corpse.  Well, the wingnuts, anyway.  The Dems will equivocate and then reluctantly go along with the GOP program, so long as they can occasionally elect someone who sticks to the program but doesn't use nasty racist language to support it (ie Obama).

I think that's divide and conquer tactics, the kind which pretty much justify the existence of Sarah Palin and Michael Moore, namely:

hey, look at this crazy nut, spilling crazy stuff.  Better vote for us next election, or idiots like this are going to be calling the shots (to those who disagree with the crazy nut's political position).

FEARFEARFEARFEARFEARFEARFEARFEARFEARFEARFEARFEARFEARFEARFEARFEARFEARFEARFEARFEARFEARFEARFEARFEAR (to people who agree with the crazy nut's political position).

Given 99% of trolling is finding issues which split people like this, the comparison is pretty apt.

As usual, everything's great in America until somebody expects the rhetoric to mean something.

We respect human life and dignity. Yay America. Wait, what's that? Torture is "bad?"
We have fundamental freedom of religion/association/speech/press. Unless you actually use them.
We provided a clear rule that says we're allowed to own guns. No infringement there!

The problem with America is that it is exactly what it was intended to be: a government of the people, by the people, for the people. The ideology is fine. The problem is that people are idiots, and when you let them rule themselves, they come up with all kinds of ways to do it wrong.

By the way, we are a melting pot. One part bleach, one part ammonia.

I had that coming.

The difference between a stage magician and a policitician is the type of stage used.

Only this, and nothing more.

Well, it misdirects us from noticing the same 50 or so major politicians and (more importantly) their monetary backers run the show, are always running the show and will continue to run the show no matter who you actually vote for, and that most changes in policy are in fact changes in rhetoric.

CHANGE!  GROWTH!  ICE CREAM!  FREEDOM!  PUPPIES!

If this is true, then why aren't things at least staying the same? Why are things getting steadily worse?

I don't know how you two managed to achieve perfect comedic timing on an internet forum, but you did it.


I just wish the subject matter was something to laugh about.

To sum up briefly: You get Texas, Oklahoma and all the slave
states. We get stem cell research and the best beaches. We get the
Statue of Liberty. You get Dollywood. We get Intel and Microsoft. You
get WorldCom. We get Harvard. You get Ole' Miss. We get 85 percent of
America's venture capital and entrepreneurs. You get Alabama. We
get two-thirds of the tax revenue, you get to make the red states pay
their fair share.

Since our aggregate divorce rate is 22 percent lower than the
Christian Coalition's, we get a bunch of happy families. You get a
bunch of single moms. Please be aware that Nuevo California will be
pro-choice and anti-war, and we're going to want all our citizens
back from Iraq at once. If you need people to fight, ask your
evangelicals. They have kids they're apparently willing to send to
their deaths for no purpose, and they don't care if you don't show
pictures of their children's caskets coming home. We do wish you
success in Iraq , and hope that the WMDs turn up, but we're not
willing to spend our resources in Bush's Quagmire.

With the Blue States in hand, we will have firm control of 80 percent
of the country's fresh water, more than 90 percent of the pineapple
and lettuce, 92 percent of the nation's fresh fruit, 95 percent of
America's quality wines (you can serve French wines at state dinners)
90 percent of all cheese, 90 percent of the high tech industry, most
of the U.S. low-sulfur coal, all living redwoods, sequoias and
condors, all the Ivy and Seven Sister schools plus Stanford, Cal
Tech and MIT.

With the Red States, on the other hand, you will have to
cope with 88 percent of all obese Americans (and their projected
health care costs), 92 percent of all U.S. mosquitoes, nearly 100
percent of the tornadoes, 90 percent of the hurricanes, 99 percent
of all Southern Baptists, virtually 100 percent of all
televangelists, Rush Limbaugh, Bob Jones University, Clemson and the
University of Georgia. We get Hollywood and Yosemite, thank you.
Additionally, 38 percent of those in the Red states believe Jonah was
actually swallowed by a whale, 62 percent believe life is sacred
unless we're discussing the death penalty or gun laws, 44 percent
say that evolution is only a theory, 53 percent that Saddam was
involved in 9/11 and 61 percent of you crazy bastards believe you
are people with higher morals then we lefties.

Finally, we're taking the good pot, too. You can have that dirt weed
they grow in Mexico

Peace out,
Tusconora.

You don't have to be white and straight these days, just rich and well connected, but the same principles still function. If you are rich enough and have the right friends, then your 'flaws' will be, not forgotten, but temporarily overlooked.

Obama is rich and well connected.

Apparently PoliticalCrossfire is back up and running.  It was down for a couple of months.
There is also PoliticalPanic.com which is where a bunch of people from PCF went after it went explodey.

....because it's broken anyway.

Good fucking lord, this place is going insane.  And it looks like the pretenses are just about melted away.  America sold itself for quite awhile as this great melting pot of cultures and peoples.  We had warm and fuzzy cartoons about Russian Mice risking their lives to emigrate to the U.S. to get a piece of the American Dream.  The Scorpions were singing about the Winds of Change and we were all a nice big happy global family.  Well, I guess not really, but at least the window dressing was pretty.

But fuck that noise now.  Are you Hispanic?  Get the fuck out of here!  Gay?  No marriage for you!  Muslim?  OH MY FUCKING GOD GET OUT OF NEW YORK CITY WITH YOUR COMMUNITY CENTER YOU JUST WANT TO BLOW UP MORE BUILDINGS WITH WOMMINZ AND CHILDRENZEZ AND I HATE YOU HATE YOU HATE YOU!!!!!

Jesus H. Christ.  People are simultaneously stuck in 2001 and 1940.  Civil fucking liberties?  Get that shit out of here!  If you don't bleed American Christian Red you aren't our kind and are probably trying to destroy America or something.  Yeah, that 9/11 thing fucking sucked.  You lost your brother, mother, father, cousin, best friend in the attacks?  I'm sorry.  But listen, let me give you some advice.  It's time to move the fuck on.  The bastards who killed your loved one pretty much evaporated when those planes hit those buildings.  The other masterminds are yucking it up right now in some mountain desert land on the other side of the Atlantic.  The people who want to build this community center don't want to get you again.  They just want to have a shiny building with a museum and coffee shop and other touristy-type things.  They're going to want you to come buy a set of coasters or something.  They aren't going to kill you!

But no, this country is fucking broken, and I don't know if it can be fixed or not.  So all of you dipshits out here screaming and crying and moaning about wanting your country back from the dirty hispanics, evil Muslims, blasphemous gays, and sooper sekret Kenyan Muslim Man Obama, take the goddamn thing!  It looks like shit and smells worse.  

When RWHN is on his game, you just don't get in the way.
