Get ready because here it comes. You asked for it, America. Now you’re going to get it. Just sit back and relax, because the front runner for president is someone who had as his spiritual mentor a man who openly derided America and said that 9-11 was a case of its chickens coming home to roost. Take a chill pill and relax, America, because you are going to put a man into the Oval Office who took money from Fannie Mae during which its CEO Franklin Delano Raines took millions while the mortgage giant went bust. Kick it, America, and drink the Kool-Aid of change and hope while really nothing is going to change because Obama himself refers to Warren Buffet as his “good friend”.
I suppose it is considered to be okay if one who espouses the credo of wealth redistribution is also friends with one of the wealthiest men on earth. Just don’t try doing that if you are also a wealthy man yourself, because you won’t get away with it in this politically correct world we live in. Yes, it is politically correct now to be a victim even while you yourself are wealthy, you hang out with wealthy people, yet at the same time people are losing their jobs, gas remains above $3 per gallon, the mortgage companies and the banks have ripped us all off and then turned around and made us pay for it all. Walking the walk and talking the talk has become the litmus test of truth and the benchmark of courage is nothing more than well rehearsed lines. Something tells me that Obama will make George Bush’s gibberish look semi-sane. Showmanship is key to survival today one would imagine by taking the cue from the president himself. Learning ones lines and practicing is good, but being born a showman is even better if you’re going to be elected president.
Maybe we will all look back and understand that Obama was the poster child of the video generation, and he himself is the epitome of one long youtube video. I guess all it takes is good makeup and a Harvard education and you can go far – far enough to wind up in the White House. It’s all about showmanship now. Substance is only a reference point for those who abuse certain types of it. Avoiding good substance and penalizing the possession of so-called bad substances has become the great talking point in the sky – the wampum of the great tribal leader himself, a man of mystery and intrigue – not to mention nice beads, headdress, and damn good makeup.
Yes, it’s all true. It’s true that people are dumber than a fencepost and can be led by the nose and coaxed by the media and turned into believing that wrapped up like douche another runner in the night are the real lyrics of the song, not revved up like a deuce, another runner in the night. In that regard Manfred Mann and Bruce Springstein are the musical equivalent of the 2008 presidential race. Distortions that are turned into realities while the pop culture enthusiasts salivate at the notion of categorizing it all for the sake of humanity.
If we all live through the Obama era, then certainly a museum will be erected to him to honor his great achievements. We are all supposed to snap to and believe him and rush away and start making solar panels and filling our tires. We should all behave like foul-mouthed fools who say things like “GD” America and say it with conviction and at the top of our lungs – and yes, even in church. Not to worry, our greatness will be celebrated in this museum, where after it’s all over with and after people have finally come to terms with their gullibility the only great achievement will be the vacancy sign in the front of it.
People are normally hell bent on being in denial. This is the great leveler which sociologists refer to as the antithesis to their science that somehow feeds it and nurtures it as well. The challenge of making people understand how others interact with them given ones own actions is a testament to one of the greatest human failings. For some reason people cannot bring themselves to break away from self-delusion and face themselves by facing others.
A sociologist will tell you that their job is sometimes mistaken for being socialists. The former will teach one how to become a better citizen by being a better observer. The latter will teach you how to be a better observer of your fellow citizen. Which leads me to just how Obama is going to force everyone to do things his way. Are we supposed to inflate our tires, and if we don’t will we be fined? Are we supposed to look the other way while he casually dismisses his interaction with people who have an ax to grind with America? How far will we be expected to tolerate that one certain behavioral aspect of this man? Are we supposed to believe him when he says he will raise taxes on those making over $250,000 per year, when we know that people who make that much are very wealthy and usually make their money from tax-free investments?
Where are the statistics? Where is the proof? Why can’t I become famous and rich and powerful if I enjoy the company of people who curse and yell nigger in church? Why do I have to be made to believe things that simply are not true? And why must I tolerate people who lie about their desire to help me when at the same time they fawn over their good friend, the billionaire? Where is my seat in the Oval Office? Where is my limousine, my jet, and my millions?
Oh, I suppose I do know the answer to those questions after all. I won’t kiss the mainstream media’s ass and buy the products they advertise. I won’t hang my pants down around my ass crack and do weird hand signals that appear like some retard at a Texas Aggies game. I won’t believe their bullshit and all their talking heads and their big plans for all the rest of us peons out here in teevee land. Yep, we’re all just a bunch of dumb shit racists who don’t know a damn thing, are missing a few teeth, love guns and spend a lot of time talking about Jesus. But what if that weren’t the case after all. What if we are really being authentic and not hiding our failings and our feelings. What if there were some of us left who had an education, but who didn’t flaunt it or use it to confuse or take advantage of others. And so what if we do love Jesus even though our souls are being tested to the core by everything that is going on in this world today.
Is it so hard to say that we are just human and the world in which we live is something that has always been difficult to adapt too. Why do we have to somehow be forced to distort the way the world is in order to say that now it is a changed place and a better place. Let’s face it, the only way the world is going to be a better place is if we all became better people. I’ll bet there isn’t one candidate for president who will ever utter those words, especially these two clowns.
