On Inaugural Weekend, A Reflective Look Back
We know that this weekend, as well as Monday and Tuesday, will be steeped in history. Both anniversaries and those that will become anniversaries will be celebrated, champagne will flow in America’s capital, followed by cocktails; which will lead to an awkward moment between John King and Anderson Cooper one morning in the CNN suite at the D.C. Hilton.
And one really awkward moment when the 45.7% of Americans who voted Republican will hear the words, “I, Barack Hussein Obama, do solemnly swear…”
But that’s not what I wanted to talk to you about.
I wanna revisit how we came to be here- in this moment: 48 hours away from electing America’s first half-black, Muslim, communist, fascist, “messiah”, anti-christ, socialist, corporate shill, Kenyan citizen/British citizen/Indonesian citizen.
A man who is building his own private army to force Marxism on our fair sod, and abort all the babies he can’t make gay.
A man who’s bigoted preacher wasn’t Pat Robertson, Billy Graham, or Jerry Falwell.
A man who said he would sit down and talk with our enemies- sans insulting demands (preconditions, for you righties)- instead of destroying their infrastructure, decimating its civilian population, forcing exile upon the educated and contributing members of their society, and simultaneously create both a com-fucking-pletely ruined view of our country on an international scale and new and exciting places for the terrorists to set up shop.
That one? How the hell did we end up electing that one?
Keep in mind, friends and neighbors, that only touches on maybe half of the shit we put up with over the last eight years…they had to squeeze it into an eight minute segment.
Oi. Buck Fush. Good riddance…
Hmm. What an interesting commentary. Very thoughtful and well researched. Also a tad knee-jerk radical, but everyone’s entitled to their opinion, even one that’s fed by years of uninformed, left-wing propaganda.
Well, the truth is known to have a liberal bias…
If you want to see knee jerk, however, I highly recommend you visit a pro-Nader/Alex Jones type site.
Please, let me know where I can find some good ol’, homespun left-wing propaganda. Because I can’t seem to locate it anywhere. All I can find are right wing lobotomy recipients with modems who leave vague, parroted, poorly pithy comments on my board that mirror their own pathetic excuses for sites.
Lemme think, left-wing propaganda…open up a newspaper, turn on the TV, read this blog….
Oh, come on tiger…you’re going to have to do much better than that. What newspapers? Which TV stations? And make sure I can’t come up with an equal or greater amount of their right wing counterparts.
Propaganda would be telling everyone that everything is just fuckin’ ducky, there’s no need to think, go about your business like nothing’s happening. I certainly don’t do that.
Not only are you wrong, you’re coming across as poorly informed/educated. Please revisit the definition of propaganda and then comment further.
Having worked at the DNC, I’ve known people in DNC Research. You sir, are no DNC researcher. I love these rightwingbots with their constant whines about the liberal media. As if the media is the only thing keeping the masses from bending over for lame right wing policies. Puh-leaze! Mainstream media is owned by a handful of huge multinational corporations, and we all know how incredibly liberal multinational corporations are. And it’s really an insult to the majority of Americans to suggest that they’re just stupid people who listen uncritically to whatever they hear. Why do you hate Americans so much, dncresearch?
All mainstream media is statist. There is a bipartisan effort to destroy individual liberty.
When he stayed on the military-industrial complex, good criticisms. Otherwise, very partisan and biased or half-truths. He will be a toadie boot-licker for Obama.
And that moment when Barrack swore the oath was awkward. In true bipartisan fashion Roberts and Obama together botched it. At least we won’t have the clip for the kiddie propaganda to show for all eternity hopechangebelievingness coming to the throne.
