One man's attempt to resist the social pathology of anti-intellectualism, the vapid mindset of the "Cult of Personality," and the scourge of baseless, irrational thought. Failure is highly probable.

Aww Shit. I Haven't Posted this Yet. After the Past Month of Divisive Republican Racist Redneck, Shit, this is the Antidote.
Some pretty, smart, talented suburban white American High School kids, wearing Dashikis, and getting down to, while performing, Earth Wind and Fire's "Sing a Song."
This is how life should be 24/7 all over the damn place. And I could curse to hell anyone who disagrees, but instead I will say this: I do feel sorry for anyone who does not get it, that this is the right way to be.
(First posed on my blog, and instantly nearly republished here.)2009 is shaping up to be the year the GOP jumped down the rabbit hole, and went way deeper into Delusion Land than Alice did.
But moving on to something not exactly different, here is my theme of the day. And it is particularly inspired by that notorious serial racist Rush Limbaugh. But the laundry list of Republicans who are in the same boat in my eyes is long, and I will give you some of the most recent offenders:Malkin, Coulter, Beck, Dobbs, Hannity, Liddy and any Right Wing Racist Redneck journalist or mere overpaid toxin-spewing commentator, or lowly media-ho pundit who has either
(a) given any support, no matter how abstract to the one Redneck Loony Tunes group, known as the Birthers, or
(b) called Obama a racist for sticking up for his friend, and against a facially bogus arrest -- AFTER the charges had been dropped, or
(c) and/or any of the garden variety racists in the GOP who are just pissed off because a black man is POTUS.
But the thought came to me thinking about Limbaugh's latest Jim Crow loving, "Birth of a Nation, KKK all the way-channelling," vitriolic smear at Obama. Cutting to the chase, I say racist Republicans like Limbaugh (and the rest of them listed) are not only embarrassments to the nation and beyond that, the species, but to all carbon-based life. I call him and the whole lot worse than the Ebola Virus.
Follow me.
The Ebola virus might be virulent and deadly, but it has no choice but to be that. But the Rush Limbaugh's of the world do it, by choice. And in the case of him and the other professional hate mongers, they do it for fame, and fortune, and lust of power to make life miserable for others.
Unsurprisingly, the character limitation has not forced her to be more succinct, but instead, makes her seem three times as incoherent as when she can ramble on about what the voices in her head tell her. Things like, she is the hope for a new Christian Dominated America where people eat, therefore they hunt.
Stop making things up, since the troops are troops.
And leave the kids alone, you tiny Hollywood starlets.
Ya. I mangled her Quitting Speech instead of her Twits, but shit lady. You, Mrs. Palin, are a disgrace to the whole range of Communication Degree Earners.
Here is an example of her (George Carlin forgive me, but ya get the joke, I am sure) Brain Droppings:
"judge investigation,destroy integrity of process&strip rights;Abuse WILL cont til leaks/friv filers r held accntble&press reports accurately"
It is so bad, that it like she is a cooking school grad, who burns water while boiling it.
Not only do we have the first African American President sworn in, but we get to see the Nation made safe for oppressed white rednecks to stand up against their historical oppressors; the black man.
Yes. It was sorta only simmering on the back burner, even for the significantly racist Republican Party, but this is the year of the coming out of the closet for the Republican Redneck Cult of the Church The Oppressed White Man.
I mean ain't it obvious how the black man has been keeping the white man down in this nation for four hundred years?
Doubt me? As Glenn Beck, and Pat and Bay Buchanan, and all them birthers, and all them bitches who have been calling P. Obama a racist for being black, having a black friend, and sticking up for him in public when that friend was arrested for no good reason at all?
What the fuck! (I am giving the duck a rest, tonight.)
Why Racist Republican Rednecks Love the Professor Gates Arrest Story.
They get a double dose of their hate on.
They get to pick on a black man (all blacks, really. I mean, by extension not only Pres. Obama, but they get their hate on all us black folks.)
And they get to pick on the elite of the elite; a Harvard Professor. What could make a unrepentant racist bigot happier? Oh. He's handicapped. Call it a triple play!
Think about all them redneck bigots getting their panties all wet at the sight of a late middle-aged black Harvard Elite Professor, who needs a cane to walk, being arrested in his own house by that brave young strong white man.
I would say shame of them, but I know it would be a waste; them bitches get off on that shit.
She could not take the stress of being Governor of Alaska, and a National Political figure, and the slings and arrows of being such an exalted persona. And be able to be a mom and wife. So she had a nervous breakdown.
So why Da EFF does anyone think she is fit to serve in a higher office? Pres. Obama has had the worst shit thrown at him that any POTUS has. Do you see him quitting? Naaaaaaahhhhhhhhaaaaaaa~~
I Side with the Author/Guest, Not Schuster. Mainstream Media is Part of the Problem With the Loons Getting too Much Play.
This birther shit should still be mostly limited to the Internet, and FOX not News, and unfortunately, CNN, where the In-house Republicans like Dobbs, are clearly crazy. But now that the Mainstream Media is running with the story, it, Mainstream Media is not only reporting, but it is nurturing the silly story. Not just with the birther story, specifically, but it is a heinous trend, and harming to society, when Mainstream Media takes this wink, wink, nudge, nudge mentality to fatuous people, issues, and causes, and stories.
On the one hand, the reason a lot of not-exactly-really news gets on air, is because 24 hours, 7 days a week, is a lot of airtime to fill. Secondly, like pre adolescent girls who do not want to be out of step from the fashion of the moment, these 24 hour news networks (more so than the major broadcast networks) can only go so far in showing forbearance and sound judgment, when the other guy or guys are running what ever loon story du jour. And even if the old adage was, "If it bleeds, it leads," I would update and amend that to,"If it's weird and/or controversial, better get it on air before the others do." Ya. I know. Not as catchy. But it is they way things are. Noticeable in this video is Schuster's defensiveness, that gets spun to offensiveness (in the sports metaphor sense.) Now realistically I can not tell you his state of mind there, but it looked to me like, he on a gut level, at least, agreed with the guest. But his paychecks are coming from a 24 hour news network. How willing was he to agree that Marshall McLuhan was not only right, but only got to stage one of the theory about how the medium is the message?
It has to be weird to be working in that end of the broadcast news business. All of us who took mass comm courses over the past 30 or so years, learned Marshall McLuhan's theory. And here now, at this point in time, it is damned obvious how much the media (he said medium, but let's not quibble) is actually shaping the news, and in fact making things that are really trivial shit into this thing we call the news.
And it is a bad thing, often, looking at what gets elevated to that status. But those who are actively in the product delivery side, like David Schuster dare not admit this, on air. He (and rather foolishly, to my mind) tried to pin the rap on Lizzie Cheney. He dodged the personal responsibility for inflating her status as a leader, and totally punted on the issue of whether or not Lizzie's status was due in great part to the fact that Media kept putting her face and voice on the airwaves.
David. I get why you were so chicken shit. But dude. We have a word for that level of chicken shit, bullshit lying: Conservatism.
Come on! I hope the next time someone criticizes the medium and the media for conflating fatuous people, issues, and causes, and stories, you man up and say, something like:
"Ya know. That is something I can not honestly say is completely not true."
That at least will keep you as more honest that the Lizzie Cheney's of the world.
I Honestly can't say Wow as I Have Been Telling All Ya'll this for Months. Republican Racist Rednecks are Coming Unglued, and Getting More Obvious
But I can say Fuck a duck.
Racist redneck republicans over on the Hannity Message Board are fired up. Incensed! Not because a black man was arrested in his own home, following a bogus B & E claim that was easily and already dis proven to be bullshit. No. These racist republicans don't give a flaming fuck about that.
They are upset, however, that Pres. Obama criticized the police officer who made the bogus arrest, of which I should say, the charges stemming from which have already been dropped.
President Obama is a racist since he took sides with the black guy who was clearly wrongfully arrested by the white police officer, and the bogus arrest has already been invalidated, meaning ruled wrongful, on account of the charges being dropped.
Fuck a duck indeed.
And I am going to get personal here. I lost what I once thought of as a sane, and decently moral friend to that racist world of internet, Republican Redneck bigotry and racism. I am not sorry to say it. Anyone who can put up with that sort of racist garbage really has some severe problems.
In the case of my ex friend, I hope she finally pulls her pretty head out of her ass.
Shit does not make blonde hair look or smell all that attractive, if you know what I mean.
The Freddy Kruger-Like Faction of the Redneck Republican Horde. They Won't Die!
Yes, I am talking about the "Birthers," and their increasingly crazy shit. Weirdest part is it seems to be gaining some tacit, like Fox Not News, and in some cases, like Lou Dobbs, overt endorsement in the wider realm of the GOP.
Now you might not have seen me say, earlier, that I am offended by the idea of treating nutty shit as if it deserved a veneer of respectability. I believe that a society advances with the right of free speech enforced, but that does not mean every one's opinion is worth a damn. Some shit is too lunatic to be stood. The birthers are that far gone.
But there is more to it.
Now do I think all the teabagger are racists? Naw. I have seen plenty of Republicans get fired up over taxes and what not, that I have to believe some are really only in that movement on accout of actual issues. So let's say just half of the teabaggers are racists.
But the Birthers? Not only are these people unhnged from reality, but I am willing to say that pretty much all of them are racists. The are upset that a dark skined man is POTUS. Nothing in the way of documentary evidence is going to convince them to stop their insane whining. This is about finding a new way to call the man a nigger with out using the word nigger. Foreigner, or Kenyan is as good as they can get away with it. Those with a bigger vocabulary use the word usurper (even if it is wrong in context to use that word for a POTUS). But what it really is all about is the racism.
If Hillary won the primary and election, she would be facing her own tailor made storm of hate from the GOP, but I doubt anyone would be questioning her birth certificate. They would call her evil bitch and all that, but they would not make an issue of her eligibility based on race or ethnicity, on account of that whole being white thing.
Are They That Ignornant That They Don't See That as Pure Bigotry, or
Are they so damn proud of being religious bigots, that they don't care that they come across as completely shit-awful excuses for allegedly human life forms, when they spew that sort of nasty shit?
(I think both, considering the broad range of the group. But for too many, the latter.)
This is religious bigotry, and it is just as ugly as racial or ethnic based bigotry.
I know something like 66% of the nation considers itself to be some flavor of christian. I am, for all intents and purposes, part of the small fraction of that 1/3 that not only does not self-identify as such, but I am basically agnostic. And I am offended, every bit as much as I would have been if the statement was that America is a White Anglo Saxon nation.
It is the same virulent kind of pathogen. It is only a different strain.
So Brian Kilmeade Apologized for his Racist Garbage of Last Week.
That does not satisfy me. I want him off the air and attending the long form of Racial Sensitivity training. Then, I think it is ok for him to go on TV and not only apologize, but to say in his own words why he is apologizing and in great detail explain how and why he now knows that what he said was pure white redneck racism. And for the finishing flourish, he should say that no one should ever tolerate that sort of garbage from anyone, as to condone it as a bad as to be the original offender.
Well, in a world where I get to make the calls on how to redeem one self from such, that is the way it would have to go.
I Will Start With the Sotomayor Hearings Inspired Haiku.
Who could buy his act? Or those other clowns? Really! Now that's race baiting.
Beyond that I will mention the circular illogic behind some white people's objection to Affirmative Action. I just saw this tape of Pat Buchanan going bonkers about that stuff, on the Rachael Maddow show. Now he did not announce it in this blatant a way, but his whole argument regarding not only that, but the Sotomayor nomination and related and unrelated issues leads me to this conclusion.
Affirmative Action is bad because white people who do not want to see other people get ahead are forced to do that. And because they are forced to do it, they are resentful, and will then claim (even when there is no real basis for believing it) that the non white is not qualified.
And that old racist made that clear with his equating Judge Sotomayor with Harriet Miers, saying Sotomayor was not qualified, despite getting the top rating from the ABA, and her actually-accomplished academic accomplishments, and her actual long length of time as a Federal judge. Then at one point (likely after his passionately cried argument that it is the poor white man who is being held down) he really started telling real lies. Maddow challenged Buchanan about how his grades at his college would stack up against Sotomayor's. He dodged that part at first, then said (shakily as I think he knew he was about to tell a whopper) his grades/rank from high school were better.
I should say that she graduated Valedictorian. I don't think Pat did. Lemme check. He does not list any academic honors on his own website. And I should not be surprised that he told that lie knowing it was a lie, as the fact Sotomayor had been Valedictorian has been out there since day one, and as well, her other academic honors.
Do you want to know what Pat Buchanan said about Suma Cum Laudes? That is the academic honor you have to have a 4.0 to earn, usually. Well he said, in that segment, that they give them to half the class nowadays. Even if that were true now, and it clearly is not, she went to Princeton decades ago.
Now I could go way off on how bad an evil lying racist he is, but hey. This is not news. Thing is, he is a weird duck in the sense that he is smart enough to know better than to lie like that, but he knows he will get away with it some of the time, so I guess that is why he does that shit?
What is the punchline to that old joke, how do you get to Carnagie Hall?
Ok. I just saw the replay of Firefighter Ricci, testilying before the Sotomayor hearing panel.
Now before you accusue me of picking on someone with Dyslexia, I will say this much up front. One of the most brilliant guys I met in law school had something similar to dyslexia. His solution (once he figured out his problem and how do deal with it) was that if at all possible he would learn something like a prepared speech, 300%, so he did not have to read it in public off the page, with his finger tracking each word, and end up looking like he was in fact using his finger to follow each word.
And what did Firefighter Ricci do? Did he memorize HIS speech? Hell no. He read it off the paper, using his finger to track each word, as he read.
Now does this mean I am spanking on the boy for using his finger, on account of his dyslexia? Hell no.
But I am calling him out as a bitch and a tool, as it is obvious to me, he did not write what he wrote. If he had, he would not have had to read each and every word in a row, off the damm page.
Do these Republicans think we are stupid? They bitch and moan about how those of us who went to Tier One schools are all self-important elitists. Then they pull that sort of shit, and act all surprised when we call them out for their really bad stunts.
Again. People with Dyslexia routinely memorize what they want to say when they know in advance they are going to have to say something that can be prepared. Ya don't have to be a cognitive specialist to know that.
I'm a BA grad in Theatre, and my next performance skill set is music.
What is the punchline to that old joke, how do you get to Carnagie Hall? Practice Practice.
Fireman Ricci did not have enough time to do that. As he did not write the thing himself. Obviously.
“So I would just say to you, I believe in Judge Cedarbaum’s formulation,” Sessions told Sotomayor.
“My friend Judge Cedarbaum is here,” Sotomayor riposted, to Sessions’ apparent surprise. “We are good friends, and I believe that we both approach judging in the same way, which is looking at the facts of each individual case and applying the law to those facts.”
Cedarbaum agreed.
“I don’t believe for a minute that there are any differences in our approach to judging, and her personal predilections have no effect on her approach to judging,” she told Washington Wire. “We’d both like to see more women on the courts,” she added.
It reminds me of that line from some Clint Eastwood movie:
Instead of Cussing Out Caribou Barbie, This Time I will Cuss Out John McCain.
And a very heart felt bah fongul, to Sen. John McCain. I won't swear to it, but as of this moment, and I mean after I started this, I think he deliberately Palinized us. I am now willing to think he thought he did not have a chance, and as a way of saying fuck you America, I should have been your president 8 years ago, he foisted this ignorant redneck and her reality TV family on us as his revenge.
So fuck you back.
And why am I going on this tack? And yesterday I was actually feeling a little sorry for her?
Ok. I read her op ed. The most complimentary thing I can say is there was only one inappropriate exclamation point there. But she went all Hannity Message Board Moron by calling "Cap and Trade,""Cap and Tax."
Buffoon.
Never mind the salient criticism. She is yet again offering up 19th century solutions for 21st century energy and Climate Change problems. Is that what a breath of fresh air does? Break like the wind?
And I would like to see some one call her out for suggesting the solution to the Nation's problems is to make sure her own family, friends, and fellow citizens of Alaska get paid.
Fuck a duck!
Updated:
Olbermann did call her out on it, tonight. Yea, N'Eastern Aggies Rule!
So Caribou Barbie Actually Did Have a Nervous Breakdown . . . of Sorts . . .
I actually feel a little sorry for her. I am thinking about deleting some of the harsher insults I have thrown her way, recently.
Now you would think in a rational world, the matter of her being totally unfit for higher office is now moot.
But this is the United States of Reality TV, be it on the Redneck Channel, or all the others.
So don't be expecting the Palinistas to back down just yet.
So even if I am still a little sorry for her, I still want to see her ass indicted and convicted.
I want her out of the political game for good. A nice juicy felony conviction is just the thing to do that. Not that that will shut up all the Palinistas. But only the most insane will still be cheering for her.
I know Some of You Don't Get Me. It's Your Damn Fault, Really. You Don't Read.
I am not saying you are illiterate. I am saying you are not reading the words I post in the context I post them, and with the standard American English meanings. That means, don't make shit up, don't analyze my posts too deeply. I got an A- in the CLEEP Test for College English, seriously hung over from drinking PBR. So I do know how to express myself in this language, very well; likely better than you, to be honest, but I am not going all elite here. I am just saying.
Anyway . . . some people who don't read me properly (meaning, literally) might think I am hostile to all things religiously-inspired. Perish that though. I might not personally be down with the mere idea of worship, but I am most certainly down with the "making a joyous noise unto God," part:
I am Going to Stop Arguing Politics With Republicans . . . If I Can Show Some Discipline.
Particularly when they defend that anti-american flake-tard Mrs. Palin. And specifically, when they do that, and I don't want to waste my time trying to pull them back to reality, I will hope and try to say as follows:
"The Mexicans are gonna take over. Ain't a damn thing you can do to stop it. Now get your ass down off that cross. The Mexicans need the wood."
Oh. And one day in the perhaps near future I will go off on a tangent about the odious tendency of religious extremists for being full of a un hinged from reality sense of entitlement, and exceptionalism.
Peggy Noonan, for her not so much scathing, but pointed and accurate description of Caribou Barbie.
My favorite snippet:
In television interviews she was out of her depth in a shallow pool. She was limited in her ability to explain and defend her positions, and sometimes in knowing them. She couldn't say what she read because she didn't read anything. She was utterly unconcerned by all this and seemed in fact rather proud of it: It was evidence of her authenticity. She experienced criticism as both partisan and cruel because she could see no truth in any of it. She wasn't thoughtful enough to know she wasn't thoughtful enough. Her presentation up to the end has been scattered, illogical, manipulative and self-referential to the point of self-reverence. "I'm not wired that way," "I'm not a quitter," "I'm standing up for our values." I'm, I'm, I'm.
In another age it might not have been terrible, but here and now it was actually rather horrifying.
As much as I harp on Mrs. Palin for everything under the sun and in her life, in the end, it is her fringe religion and insane beliefs that make me reject her in toto. Religious Fundamentalism of any brand or bent is about as unamerican and dangerous a thing to not only the nation, but the world at large, as I can imagine. That is because any crime, any indignity, any excess is possible, as long as the person contemplating it believes, mistakenly I must say, that they are Divinely Right, or Chosen or what-the-fuck-insanely-inspired ever.
Kudos to Peggy for being so articulate. I am more prone to be blunt; Palin is an unamerican, theocratic, insane bitch who is too fucking clueless-stupid to be trusted with a knife made from a paper plate, leave alone have any power over any one else's life.
Am I scared of Palin (and peeps like her?) Ya. Well. Not so much said that way. But I am scared of people like her getting their hands on the levers of powers. In my mind I envision that as like that scene in the last of the original trilogy of Planet of the Apes movies, when the ignorant chimps set off the nuke.
Can I Go for a Day Without Harping on that Dominionist Anti-American Alaskan?
Yes. But not today, and that is only obliquely.
Have you ever noticed how people seem increasingly insane, themselves, when they try to defend, explain, or excuse Sarah Palin for being no smarter than a bucket full of snot?
I was just watching some of a recent blogging heads, with Ann Althouse serving as the Palin Excuser/Interpreter.
Fuck a duck.
The portion of the webcast I watched was out of sequence, on account of the link I used, and I did not watch all, I could only take so much of it before my bullshit sensor when to Critical! Abort! Flee!
But she actually said words to the following. She said Palin is articulate enough if you give her enough of the facts and she does the necessary home work.
Again, I say . . Fuck a duck! Firstly, bizzaotch don't like doing homework. That is why she comes accross like a witless rube so much. Beyond that, Althouse, in her lame defense of Palin, actually provides the prosecution of her failings. What Ms. Althouse describes is the qualities one expects in a computer. But for a good, competent politician we need qualities more in line with an engineer who design's computers, not some thoughtless data repeating device, like a computer is. Computers are really stupid things. They do not think. They just run the programs that are there to be run. There is not judgment there, just following the instructions.
And let's be honest here. Palin is so stupid she is more like a computer running Window 95, than a better modern OS.
Remember the Blue Screen of Death? Ya that is Palin's brain at work; the BSD.
It's Not That I'm at all Obsessed with Her Redneck Rawl Hi-ness. I'm Instead Obsessed with Reality TV. Even if I Don't Waste My Time Watching That.
(I'd rather waste my time other ways, thank you very much.)
Point is, reason I will not be happy until Mrs. Palin is in jail is that the popularity of these Reality TV tells me one thing; H.L. Mencken was right about the (low rent) taste of the American People (as a marketing sector.) Americans love them some trash. That is why I can't be happy unless the chances of that ho getting elected to any other office ever, is like over a million to one.
Could the bitch be that nutzo? That is not even the point but yes. She could believe that shit she spewed at her news conference. That does not mean shit though. She is so nucking futz that she could believe her own bullshit even if she had the signed promise to surrender to authorities stuffed in her icy underwear.
Again. Fuck a duck. This one is so crazy that only Ann Coulter really thinks that the reasons given for the resignation are real.
Time for a run back to reality. I watched the vid, and chunks of it over and over this past weekend. Bitch is not happily moving on to the best days of her life ahead. Bitch is under serious stress. Bitch left many clues and cues in that vid. Watch it. Look at her mouth. Ya can't really see her lying eyes past the too small frames, but the tell a little story too.
And I know what the redneck horde is thinking. The EFF BEEE EYE said there is no investigation.
No. That is not what they (the guy) said. Read the statement carefully. Then remember he could be lying. Then think, ok is the mere fact he and his peeps are not conducting the investigation the last possible word?
I am hoping I am right in thinking that it might be the IRS or DHS or someone else with the warrant.
Ahh. I would love to be the person to serve an arrest warrant on her, and read her her rights. I would feel like I saved the nation from some calamity before it unleashed it's horror on the land.
File a Defamation Action Against me, You Dumb Twit. PWEEAASSEEE!
Ok. If you heard about the emails between Palin and a Senior McCain staffer, that came out earlier this week, you know what I mean. If not, here is the summary. At a time when the story about Toddster, First Dude previously being a member of the Alaska's Seceesh trash party was out there, but not enough so that the major media outlets gave it any play, that twat Palin insisted that the McCain peeps jump all over it. The McCain people, them having IQs above 65 said that since it was not really on the radar, let sleeping dogs lie. Palin, being the moronic twit she is, insisted again, and further insisted the McCain camp publish some factually inaccurate statement (what reality based people call a lie and total fabrication.) They refused.
Moving on, yesterday allegedly one of Palin's supporters, allegedly her lawyer (and I will not say for sure as this is lie upon lie upon lie before we get to the is he really her lawyer question), threatened peeps with defamation lawsuits for making mention of the fact there are rumors out there that she is an embezzler and a crook.
Fuck a duck.
But beyond that, bitch, sue me for defamation. I dare you. I really have no desire to do litigation again. Irony is based on how I have made my living the past 4 years, I am an expert sifting through data discovery. But more to the point. Even it it has been years since I have personally drafted interrogatories and document requests, I am so good at that shit that I have only this to say.
Even if the major news sources are holding fire, the gossip mill says Alaskan Evita either has made a Spitzer-like deal with Fed. Prosecutors, or things are not set and she might still be facing indictment.
Hey. I was publishing about the stinky felonious seeming deal with how her palatial house got built, back in October. Turns out, allegedly, it might be worse than I thought, and that was larceny, but it could be a matter of both corruption of the bribery sort, and embezzlement too.
I feel vindicated already. The shit is about to hit the fan, either way.
But while I am at it let me point out the most stupid thing I have seen all week:
the douchebag on the Hannity Message Board who said Billy Mays was a bigger star than Michael Jackson.
Now hate MJ if that is your thing. But stick to the facts, moron. MJ, for all his weirdness and faults, was one of the biggest stars of all time. I mean who else is up there that huge? Elvis? The Beatles?
As an attorney, I should be more respectful, but these Republican justices are pulling the law in the direction their politics says it should be, and in many cases, never had been (The New Haven Fire fighters Case is a great example of that shit.)
Please read the article. The most disturbing part is the fact that Scalia and Thomas are no longer the most conservative, ideologically speaking, justices.
Fuck a duck!
George Bush. You might have ended up being a fake conservative to die hard conservatives now (he always was, but you just can't tell some peeps what they do not want to hear, when they are pig stubborn set on being stupid, deaf,)but you delivered the real goods on you nominations to the SCOTUS. May you rot in the worst level of hell for that.
But honestly? You are going there (if such a place exists) on account of that whole being a mass murderer thing, anyway.
Well, the last time I took the Jung-Keirsey Personality Test, the results informed me I was a Counselor Idealist. I normally would say it was my cynicism that led me to Law School. But yes, somewhere in the back of my mind, there still is a battered, hammered, starved, exhausted, nearly-fully defeated Idealist, that hopes for the day when he can regain what strength he formally had, if not thrive.
I am not a "People Person." I am definitely "Wonky."
I despise stupidity and moreso, deliberate ignorance.
I despair the chance that either our Nation or the Whole World will ever get out of the seemingly-suicidal spiral of sinister and senseless suffocation of souls.
I am prone to excessive alliteration and wordiness.
I strive to restrain my baser nature, and give way to the Angels of my Better Nature, but every now and then, the Angels lose the battle.
I truly have no use for phony people, or false heros.
I abstain from what is known as the "Cult of Personality."
I may not be from Missouri, but I believe, seeing is believing.
