All Signs Point Toward NO
Posted by TFG on November 10th, 2008
Look, I’m just tired of trying to explain to people that even the retarded 21st century version of personal liberty bequeathed to us by the Founding Dudes is worth nurturing and saving for future generations. Nobody wants to hear it, and I’ve run out of breath and time. Our O-fficial nation is wandering into some EuroDisney version of America. Un-O-fficial America is battening down the hatches, hoping to survive this massacre of the American Dream. I’m sure it’s possible, in some distorted sense, and I hope it all works out for all the drones in .gov cubicleland, but I can’t imagine it coming out the other end of the National Colon looking like what got my motor revved up in 1978. I just can’t, and fine, that’s a failure of my imagination, but good grief, all the O-fficials — when did the whole of America make peace with the government, of all things, deciding what’s the haps? Jeezus, it was still a big joke, not 10 years ago - I’m from the government and I’m here to help. I guess it started looking good when they started handing out checks to the mongoloids and Chrysler and Goldman-Sachs.
OK, then…you understand why, if I don’t post much anymore. Just beat down. Maybe I’ll wake up tomorrow feeling better, you never know.
Gonna be interesting to see where the kids take the music. Maybe they’ll get over that Woodie Guthrie “woe is the working man” horseshit, finally, and forever, when they figure out that they’re picking banjos and sequencing synthesizers for the feds. See, ray of light there…some new NASCAR, not so beholden, running from the revenooers on electric scooters or rocketships. I feel a little better already. Christ, you can’t kill freedom, can you? Fuck, no.

I hope you wake up feeling better. My moods have been kinda strange since the election. But I hope cooler heads call bullshit on B. Hussein Obammy and keep him from breaking anything.
And hell, y’all in Texas can break up into five states, legally, and presto, you get eight more U.S. senators, who’d likely be conservative, ’specially if ya gerrymandered the new states right.
Freedom isn’t dead yet.
I seriously gotta check out NASCAR more, but even as a kinda-sorta “southerner” and actual rednecky pseudo-intellectual type, I have a hard time “getting” it.
Be of good cheer, if you can.

Well one positive will be HBO’s Bill Maher going off the air. What is that guy going to talk about. Blaming all Obama’s mistakes on Bush will get old after a year. He want have any idea what to do

Freedom is still alive and kicking: this blog is evidence that free speech is still possible in much more significant ways than many places around the world.
It gets distressing when the liberal illuminati seem to be packing up all the good decisions of the past eight years and jettisoning them out into the atmosphere with the other space trash.
But there are still Republicans in Congress; as mayors, state senators and representatives, and governors.
