StrangeVictory.StrangeDefeat
Anyone that is familiar with Me knows of my distaste for the current Administration. I have attempted time & time again, to further point out the criminal Failings of the political leadership, Failings of catastrophic proportionality & relationship…Decisions I couldn’t, on my best day, understand…Decisions that were somehow affirmed in 2004, by a blind & befuddled AmericanElectorate, in re-electing a regime of Crooks & Simpletons. The litany of Failings, at this point, 7.7years deep inside an 8year Rape* of the CommonMan, would make any fair-minded person shudder.
But despite all of the carnage, flotsam, jetsam & desolation created by the worst President & Congress in the history of this Country, I don’t think Anyone, except maybe a handful of forethinking Economists or MoneyManagers, could have contemplated GeorgieTheDope, Vader & their Footsoldiers accomplishing this, the fiscal Evisceration of the Worlds most elite financial instruments…The “Lifeblood” of our Economy, TheDope & his provocatively simple policies have blown the golden dome’s off every major Financial Institution…shocking.
I can just hear it now from what is still left of the BushLoyal…They would desperately retort, “how can You blame Georgie? It was WallStreet greed & subprime lending this & that…the housing bubble yada yada…” Well I‘ll tell ya how I can blame Georgie: It is the accumulation of a Republican policy choice, it is the snowballing of a bedrock Republican principle, which is total unrestrictive deregulation of f*cking Everything including the most precious financial instruments on ThePlanet! It is Economic Policy of total disfunction & unsustainability concocted by, then implemented by TheDopeAdministration…It is a philosophy which basically states, “No need to intervene, it is Capitalism’s engine purring like a cat, Trust what the CEO’s say, they know best…Laws? Internal & external controls? Nawww, No need for law, controls, regulation, or oversight, WildWest anarchy creates parity”…Sure…
No FederalGovernment has spent more money in an 8year stretch, & guess what? TheDope lowered taxes for Everyone, & most severely for the Wealthy, at the same time He spent our money like a scorned Woman with her estranged Husband’s credit card gallivanting down 5thAvenue…A wanton Policy of spend-spend-spend-til’-yer-balls-turn-moneygreen philosophy, with a RubberstampCongress…Criminal, America, %100 criminal- minded…You BushFools need to wake the Hell up.
“Let the FreeMarkets work their Magic” or “TheMarkets don’t need to be watched, Supply & Demand guides HumanBehavior into correcting themselves…” or “TheMarkets know best…” are Mantra’s I have heard repeatedly like a Hitler propaganda slogan from every Sh*thead making mounds of money from the freewheeling & freedealing unregulated “Marketplace”.
Just entertain Me here BushVoters…sit back, fix a Martini, prop yer Heads back tilted toward the Sky, relax a bit, & now try to picture what Life we would be like for You if ‘WeThePeople’ had foolheartedly accepted GeorgieTheDope’s brilliant idea of PRIVATIZING SOCIAL SECURITY ! Just think if We had collectively said “Sure Georgie” & then went ahead & invested ALL OF OUR RETIREMENT MONEY IN THE MARKETPLACE ! HA ! No 1 is talking about that right now! Just another reality slapping You fools across yer botoxed faces!
(Put the anger in a bubble & blow it away…Ok…better)
The reason behind titling this piece “StrangeVictory.StrangeDefeat” is because in some guttural, instinctive sense, it seems appropriate & natural, this Meltdown has happened. And for a guy like myself, it is all straight Validation & Vindication, in vaguely esoteric ways, seeing this unfold saturates my Heart with satisfaction…A part of Me wants to say to all the BushVoters out there something a great friend of mine used to always sarcastically repeat the morning after We had all gone out & drank a ton on his open tab at the bar, he would look at Us with this hungover, apathetic expression on his face & say, “Hope it was fun. Hope it was fun... I sure hope it was fun…” And that is what I feel like saying to Anyone who voted for Georgie.Vader & Rove, “Hope it was fun, hope it was fun…Sure hope it was fun.”
So, it is a StrangeVictory for a number of reasons, but primarily a Victory because this last Deathblow is so undeniable, it is so unarguable, that even for the last BushLoyalists, it seems rather untenable for You to assert Bush did anything of Value for this Country, at this point.
However, it is also a StrangeDefeat, in the obvious ways, We are all hurting, No doubts about that, & I wish that were different, I wish the value of my House wasn’t smaller than the value of my Car…Before TheDope, I never thought 1Man, 1President & his minions could be capable of so much damage & disrepair, so much global devastation…My Naïveté has been checked & corrected, I can assure You of that. If I didn’t know then, I surely know now…1.20.2009.
* I 1st typed ‘sodomy’ in place of ‘Rape’, but replaced ‘sodomy’ with ‘Rape’ because ‘sodomy’, unfortunately, is understating things, it has been a violent controlling manipulative Rape of the LowerClasses, period, for nearly 8years.
