Random Thoughts of Hope

I see by the news that a new poll shows that many Americans' opinion of the Republicans is unfavorable, like about 69% believe that.

What this shows is that the idiocy of the 'noise machine' is finally becoming too much for most people. People do get sick and tired of the constant barrage of 'be very afraid...' one gets from the gas bags on the radio and at Faux News. People get sick of living in fear especially when the boogie man never appears. Once in a while someone will do something stupid or violent enough to get them all excited, crying "We got that right! See! See!" There is an old principle that covers that: "Even a blind pig will find a truffle once in a while." The fact that the 'conservative' moronocracy was literally cheering over the fact that America lost the 2016 Olympic venue is so snivelling as to beg comment.

It just gives one hope that the REAL Spirit of America is stirring out of the fog of inanity brought on by television 'entertainment'. People have not risked life and limb to come here because we are a corrupt and decadent society. We have our problems, sure, but Goddamn it, we have the liberty to be decadent if we choose to be, just like the religious nutzoids have the freedom to pass around live rattlesnakes, because of something in a 1900 year old fan letter, called 'gospel' by some, written by a man named Mark.

Under it all, all the bullshit of talk radio, all the fascist wet-dreams of christian theocrats, and mechanistic reductionism of the atheists, there lives a radical and powerful idea, the idea of FREEDOM. That founding priciple of the radicals that put our democracy together, will always emerge at just the right moment and devour it's enemies.

My word to all the fundamentalist theocrats is simple, really. You mouth freedom, but it is only the freedom to agree with your pathetic ideology, or suffer the consequences. That is not freedom. Freedom lies in being able to look at what you propound, and say 'fuck you!' walking away unmolested by your idea of consequences. That same freedom entitles you to damn me to your hell. I could care less. My freedom is your freedom too.
