James Walcott, always able to lay it out without fearing someone hollering "liberal" , is on target again.
"
Given tyranny to the American people, for the Right's assault on the Republic grows more intense than ever this year, becomes a kind of mad, jeering defiance that almost unmasks itself."
Under George W. Bush, the mask is completely cast aside, the jeering defiance in full cry. The bankruptcy bill, the renomination of rejected or blocked judges, the enthronement of America's first Attorney General of Torture, the refusal to even admit the looming disaster of global warming, the arrogant insult to the UN and the diplomatic world with the nomination of John Bolton as UN ambassador--Bush's second term is a triumphal Fuck You that the pundits and cable newsers will interpret as a jaunty thumbs-up, not possessing enough self-respect even to mind being played for fools. The damned liberal media anyway!!! Quite interesting if you have time for the
full post. He points out how the politicians, that would be Democrats, the media et al, bend way over for the right and their views and policys. Even when they are unpopular with the people.
I see the same thing. Often. Why does it happen? Cuz the other side has no compunction about demonizing their enemy. The Democrats and media et al
really do want to be fair
. The squeaky wheel gets the grease. And if we fight fire with fire they cry and tell everyone how meanspirited, angry and full of vitrol we are. I'm sorry Liberals but you gotta quit bending over. It's getting pretty full back there. Full of anger? You're damned right!!! You're stealing my country! I'm damned angry and you can cry all day about it but I'm spitting it right back at ya. You lay down your verbal weapons, speak reasonably, stuff a fist full size of duct tape in the mouths of Ann Coulter, Sean Hannity, Micheal Savage and "Oxy" Limbaugh and I'll play nice. Until then I'm tired of being civil with people that are out to destroy me and my kind. Time to stiffen up linguini spined liberals. You're not alone and it's your country too.
