Subject: why do you bother anymore, Bart?
Bart, I’m so pissed off right now that I’m thoroughly
convinced that it’s really not worth it to try to help
Americans become aware that they need to do something,
anything to keep these neo-Nazis from getting total
control the next time around. Perhaps they
see it coming and choose either not to believe it or do nothing about it?
And the worse the backstreet, the poorer the backroad,
the more right-wing Americans are. I've never been able
to reconcile that. I have it here in the
so-called “City of Brotherly Love.” People I grew up with who lived
on
crime-ridden, drug-soaked side streets are extreme
right-wing assholes – and proud of being so! You have to
sit down and re-evaluate things once in a while
and ask if the struggle is really worth it.
I’m not trying to run away from having to do anything,
but many times I question why folks bother with trying
to change things because the masses are so satisfied
with nothing and with being treated like shit. They believe
everything Fox Noise throws in their faces as
fact and they attack you with gusto for forcing them to come out
of their cocoons of ignorance. Goodness
forbid they should be required to think outside of that proverbial box.
And I wish I had some money to donate for the
cause, Bart, but I haven’t worked in four years now (thanks to
Bush and Cheney). It’s gotten to the point
where applying for a job at Dunkin’ Donuts has gotten competitive!
(Praise be Bush and Cheney, again!)
George Carlin was so right, back in 2005: “You
can tell who’s doing the voting by looking at the fucking election returns.”
There’s also a so-called “controversial” routine
he did in that same show, “Life is Worth Losing,” where he laid bare
how this country is run that’s worth watching
about a million times – because he spoke nothing but the deep, dark ugly
truth.
(Oh, George, where are you when we need you?)
Bart, America and Americans deserve everything
they get. Since they want to keep electing these neo-Nazi assholes,
let them go without health care, let them fight
for increasingly shittier jobs with lower pay (thank you again, Carlin),
and continue to fight to have nothing while being
used as cannon fodder for Bush/Cheney Co’s oil grab.
Sorry for the pessimism, brother, but it’s clear
Americans are not interested in improving their lots in life and you
can’t help the ignorant. Everyday slobs
who think they’re part of the system – and not even a collapsed economy
could wake them up to the fact that they don’t
matter in the eyes of the richest 1%.
Happy New Year - not!

Ignorance is the key.
Only in America would the people take to the
streets in mobs to demand that nothing be done about the
health care suystem that's not only bankrupting
them, but the bastards don't pay off when you finally need them.
If the Democrats would list the facts, the people
could learn.
Until that happens, they will remain Fox-ignorant.
