Stop the Right before it is too late!
So I recently gave up resisting it and bought a television set. I didn't really want to but with hockey season coming up I don't feel I really had a choice because –haha!-- I really enjoy the sport of hockey. 3 on 1 breakaways, Datsyukian deeks, Lord Stanley's Cup and –woohoo!-- fighting and carnage! So you see I was sorta stuck and getting a TV began to make sense.
Unfortunately TVs are a great evil in todays Age of the Ape Called Man and many of my Ape brothers and sisters are addicted to it as badly as any alcoholic is addicted to sweet liquor or any crack addict to their precious rocks. Like money, it is a root to all evil through which the rich men who really run this country program our beliefs and behavior to insure our faithfulness and dull minded allegiance. What Man Ape is strong enough to resist the seductive allure of television?
So you see my problem yes?
But still I bought the TV set. As it turns out though, I'm not really watching much of it for a couple of serious reasons. 1) I hate commercials as much as I despise the Anaheim Ducks and that's a whole hell of a lot. 2) The right wing media is killing me in my spirit, literally.
See, after 9/11 was allowed to happen, the Bush administration used the opportunity to go after so called “liberal” news outlets like the New York Times and CNN. The Bushies asserted that these sources were giving aid and comfort to the enemy or were traitors to America. You know, cuz free speech is un-American. But in a matter of 7 or 8 months, all media went one way and one way only and that was with whatever way the Bushies wanted!
It didn't stop there even. Soon the Discovery channel got nuetered, the History channel became the All American Weapons of Mass Destruction channel and so on and so forth. It was like cable was taken over by creationists and rednecks while simultaneously all the information about the outside world America gets from the news channels is all filtered through radical right Republican filters. And don't even get me started about local news. Local news is all about selling you shit like computers and new video games while assuring you that it isn't safe outside. Arghhh! The fucking thrice damned Republicans are out to destroy the American Way of Life those rat bastards! And we know it is the Republicans behind all this for they are the very ones that the rich elite look to in this country to protect their assets and help manipulate the masses. Thus we know is true by the recent health care battle. The right has pulled out all the stops on this one. They have the news outlets showing polls favorable to their position, they have memos encouraging people to act like rowdy bawds, they have nut jobs bringing guns and assault rifles to places the President of the Unites States is at, and, worse still , more heninous then all of these things, I believe they are actively looking for some dumb good old boy to step forward and assassinate President Obama.
Proof? All circumstantial evidence I'm afraid.
First, did the so called liberal media report this? Nah which is strange considering the liberal media wants to take away all guns from the hands of private citizens eh? It could have been a nationwide crackdown on guns and a victory for liberalism but –haha!-- we don't have a liberal media do we? No, not at all. In fact the few networks that did cover it made it a 2nd amendment issue! But, it seems to my mind, if this had happened while Bush was still illegally in office there would have been a vicious backlash and we non Republicans (especially you non Republicans with guns) would have been rounded up en masse under suspicion to commit treason!
Second, we know that the radical right is full of deluded good ol' boys who will kill another Human Being over matters of faith just like that nut job Scott Roeder who shot and killed Dr. George Tiller of Kansas in front of Tiller's whole church. Before Roeder it was Shelley Shannon who tried to kill Dr. Tiller. She managed to shoot the good doctor twice in the arm outside his clinic. See, the radical right needs very little provocation to murder or kill or take guns to where the President is speaking or spread misinformation and lies or just disrupting townhall meetings across the country. Why? Because we so called 'sinners' don't follow their warped brand of Christianity.
Third, we know the certain Republicans of the radical right are pros at stirring up peoples fears and playing on their weaknesses. Look how well they played this country during the Bush era. Politically motivated manipulation of the terror threat level, slanderous lies like the whole 'Swift Boat' debacle during the Kerry campaign or even today with calling the President of the United States a Nazi during a time of War. Oh but when Bush was “president”, or, more accurately, the so called “War President” (nods to the Old Testament, eh? You manipulative fuckers!) any bad word was tantamount to treason.
But that's the culture of America, manipulated as expertly as it is by the right wing media. I am reminded of the Presidential election last year when the right wing and it's media outlets showed poll after poll showing how tight and close the race was. Turned out that was all a bunch of shit intended to manipulate voters. The race wasn't close at all and Obama won in a landslide. But the intent of the lie of a close race was to energize the Republican base to get out and vote and cause moderates and independents to think they'd be wasting their vote with Obama. But Obama won in a walk. So now they have polls showing how half of America hates the health care plan and half the people disapprove of Obama which simply isn't the truth. It's manipulation. Why? Because if enough Americans become convinced that Obama sucks his assassination at the hands of the radical right will almost be acceptable. Remember, the radical right have no respect for any president not of their party. Remember what they did to Clinton? They'll do that and worse to President Obama if given a chance. And if we Americans don't demand that these homegrown terrorist tactics that the radical right employ be cracked down on, they will continue to ride rampant over us and manipulate us.
Freedom isn't just for Republicans or radical right wingers. We must stop them now while we are still able. I accuse the right of domestic terrorism and I can only hope my fellow Americans realize this too before it is too late.
