County Fair
County fair, county fair, country feelin in the air, lot's of guns everywhere!
You can't help but notice the different emphasis. Go to the Democrats booth and they have cookies and lemonaid. Go to the Republican's and you are looking at The Judge (a stainless over under pistol with 410 shotgun on top, 45 cal under) and a Strategic Defence Weapon with laser, strobe, ten shot clip and other great attachments. A somewhat more muscular approach. You could win them both in the raffle ( Please God, let me win! RIP Kurt Vonnegut again)
So which Party is best suited to protect us from the Rabble pouring across our borders, the Terrorists from afar who hate our Freedom or the Commies within trying to undermine our Way Of Life? I did another shift at the Human Rights booth and debated the Constitutional scholar wanna-bees. Typical exchange. scholar: "I want freedom from ,not freedom to."
me: " Should citizens be free from want?"
scholar: walks away.
Or this one. scholar : "Do we have to equalize people down if they are special?"
me: "Equanimity means equal political power within democratic society. We are all equivalent in the social contract."
scholar : walks away.
The funny thing is ,I'm not crazy about "human rights" discourse and believe it will "wither away" along with the authoritarian State when we get rid of Market exchange.My colleagues are too busy fighting the Right Wing to pay attention to any of that.
There is a revival of Hate Jane Fonda bumper stickers around lately. Talk about a spectacular case of celebrity demonization! Another colleague, who claims he was an elite sniper in Nam, also claims he "came within twenty minutes of getting a shot at Jane Fonda." He says there was bounty out on her head and that he shot Viet Cong generals in the head at a thousand yards. Thing is, he will tell anyone about his near-murder knowing they will approve and be duly impressed.
The local Labor Council had a march on Friday they called A-Wake for the Working Class. The double entendre acknowledges the theoretical tension over class ( a good and necessary thing) but also a positive message of consciousness raising as the key to worker power.( I remain sceptical). The problem is one I have gone over before; the workers, now starved for jobs, are eager to build the Tar sands pipeline which will kill their children.(indirectly). With Capital on strike, the workers become scabs, crossing any and all picket lines in solidarity with their masters. Wisconsin was the perfect example. Trumpka says they will not "automatically give money to Democrats." They won't put it toward radical change either.

Commies never quite learn why they are loathed in the USA. Fonda is a traitor who went behind enemy lines and aided and abetted a vile enemy of humanity. I would not approve of a sniper round as this is assassination and too much like typical commie behavior in Hue, Katyn and via Ren's role model Herman Marks. A nice artillery barrage or airstrike would have delivered the point.
So now you are going to tip toe through the tulips with the survialism, ecological doom bs. Why don't you just go join Hugo? He needs useless idiots who believe
in this criminality.
The Venezuelans who are here know more about abuse of power and failed worker states than labotimized fundamentalist death cultists. Maybe Capo Ren can do us a favor and start a commune just like Jim Jones. We can even line up corporate sponsors to donate Tang or Jello. Maybe this time you loons can reach utopia via jello shots.
Beak, nice of you to state the obvious about the Fonda photo but you're behind the curve, as usual.
Have you seen Godard's "Letter to Jane"? Now, is it a manifestation of his probable misogyny, a dialectic deconstruction of the photo or just self indulgence?
Myself, I'm not to enthralled by his Dziga Vertov period but it doesn't diminish the power of the 60's work.

Come on trout, what can go wrong?
Duncy
There is no statute of limitations on treason. Fonda is loathed for good reason. Commies seem to think that life is a great Bolshevik Jamboree. Sorry, the American people have spoken loudly and clearly about your kind.
The name of the game is to keep all American energy off the market to save Hugo. The environmental racket is a thin rouse.
rouse (sic)
You commies have found your hero, Jimmy Hoffa. The man who tells you regarding the Tea Party that you should "take them out". No criticism from Obama or the Democrats. So much for your bright idea they aren't a bunch of leftists. That's what happens when a public education system fails in meeting its indoctrination goal. Lefties turn to violence as their Final Solution.
Beak stops short of assassination. Pagan condemns violence as a solution. Did either of you cheer when Perry's
death penalty tally was announced?
Could we compare Ho Chi Min with George Washington?
No Troutsky, I cried my eyes out when I heard how many mass murderers, child rapist-murderers and cop killers Perry had savagely allowed to be executed in the name of "justice". He should have just give them a good talking to, maybe two or three years or hugs and ice cream, and let them go for a second chance to live a productive life. We should be civilized people. And if the bereaved families of the victims don't like it, well they can just go to hell, or maybe a re-education camp to learn compassion and "tolerance". They should be made to repeat "fuck the memory of my loved ones" over and over again until they finally believe it.
By the way, how come no 9/11 posts? Are you going to let this joyous anniversary commemorating the justifiable deaths of all those sick capitalist bastards go uncelebrated?
Well Pagan,
1. There had been quite a bit of press concerning a capital arson case in Texass which heard some very shaky forensic evidence. The majority feel the fire was caused by an electrical problem and was not set. However, Perry sees fit to execute the man even with very serious doubt.
Now continue with the usual uniformed hyperbole.
2. The kneejerk 9/11 posts are a little much. Never forget - sounds like perpetual revenge, a very useless and dangerous emotion.
You know what they say about going out after revenge; first dig two graves. I think that describes our post 9/11 frenzy.
It's very difficult to separate the jingoism from sincere reflection.
... Beak should be along to eloquently advocate for the death penalty for all commies.
Ducky
I would leave it to the sons of Marx who praise a man who executed people
without trials to ironically talk about the death penalty. Your kind is familiar with show trials and predetermined verdicts.
My sense of irony and justice is a tad more warped. I would deport you to North Korea and let you rot in the hell you advocate for others.
"Never Forget"-
What would you have us say Ducky?
"Let Bygones Be Bygones"?
How would you have us commemorate a day when almost three thousand American citizens were brutally massacred in the name of a savage, barbaric religion that codifies the call for death of infidels and oppression of women and minorities?
How About "Hug a Muslim Day"?
Or maybe "It's All America's Fault Day"?
Please
The images of Ducky wants us to forget is his sainted Palestinians
celebrating on 9-11.
Beak-
I got the video of that on my blog. Tells you all you ever need to know about that scum. Muslims are the only people on the face of the earth you could wipe from the face of the earth and be deserving of the Nobel Peace Prize.
Of course a lot of that footage wasn't taken on 9-11 but be that as it may why would you expect them to have any respect for the U.S?
Bullshit Ducky, I saw that shit live, in real time. When I found the video and watched it, I even remember that old hooded, bespectacled gap-toothed slut cheering and grinning like the cunt she is. I even remember the dudes in the car.
Again, I saw it live, in real time, so peddle those bullshit excuses elsewhere.
Ducky is confusing this with his commie French News Crew fake snuff film that was proven a hoax in a French Court.
He is also forgetting Arafat ordering people not to celebrate after the images were shown
You bring that up constantly, Beak, almost as often as you cite Jim Jones, but I must admit you have the advantage.
Would you provide some background or a link?
