Right Threaded Wing-nuts

Poke me with a stick

A recent exchange of opinionated e-mails prompted this response. The specific trigger (written by a loyal Republican and Bush lover) was this bit:

"You know I could almost see myself joining you and your ilk if it were not for just a few of uncomfortable planks in your platform. Example, infanticide, social engineering through tax incentives, confiscatory taxation of the most productive workers, and a free ride for the miscreants among us. Now unlike us stupid Republicans, these policies are perfectly logical, much the same as Hitler's Final Solution. Sound laws pertaining to the murder of innocent people and the confiscation of their property. You guys are real smart, no doubt about it. "

My response falls just short of physical violence

I will take just a brief moment to reply... are you out of you're fricking MIND! No, the republicans are quite logical - on a national scale they mirror the great robber barons of the 19th and 20th centuries, which was "social engineering" on an epic scale. As to being "pro-life" I refer you to the grand stupidity of Iraq with 4,000 American soldiers dead, 40,000 wounded (now called "miscreants"?) and a couple of hundred thousand Iraqis even worse off. In my book, that's "pro-death." In case you haven't noticed, nice Mr. Asshole (our idiot president) has also doubled the national debt, is killing the dollar, and tells us to "be afraid" of big, bad Iran taking over the United States and destroying our way of life. What a FRICKING IDIOT! Republican social engineering is accomplished by driving formerly productive people into Dunkin Donuts jobs where they become an official part of the miscreant club and can die without health insurance or government subsidized pain-killers. Bush's message to you: "DIE, you middle-class piece of shit - I GOT mine!" Ah yes, the twin messages of greed and fear work every time!

As our economy continues to founder, housing prices collapse and all those formerly "productive workers" lose their jobs (not because of taxes but because some republican CEO and his Chinese cronies are stealing your meager slice of the American pie), remember how the republican party rewarded your patriotism with a wallet full of moth shit. Hitler would have been right at home in today's White House and probably received the medal of freedom by now. What? Let "market forces" and "deregulation" bring down the cost of health insurance? Do ordinary republicans really believe that insipid line of crap? Oh, I see, blame the liberals!

Get it through your thick skull that I'm a pissed-off, moderate Independent that doesn't buy the gigaton of bullshit dished out by the RNC, White House, religious right and the MacDonald's dishwasher that somehow believes the republican party gives two-shits whether he lives or dies. I'm certainly not a neocon and my positions are clearly not liberal. And yes, many of us are smarter than both extremes - a LOT smarter. There are a lot of Independent hotheads out there - so the message to people on our shit list is: "Be afraid; be very afraid!"
