So the obvious question is, “If this is a Witch/Revolutionary site, then why aren’t you blogging about Sarah Palin”?
My obvious answer to that is “Do I need to? Isn’t she doing a wonderful job of scaring the hell out of us entirely as is?”
What nuance of right wing stupidity could I illuminate that Sarah Palin doesn’t already convey every time she speaks publicly? Dissecting Sarah Palin has become the national pasttime of all the Democrats anyway. Fun times. They love that shit. And of course their camp doesn’t thrill me any more than Sarah Palin’s scares me. The Democrats and the Republicans have long been the same old boring party to me anyway. Blah, blah, blah. There is nothing fresh or innovative coming out of either parties mouths. Again, we are stuck with the same boring “bail out the middle class” last minute patriotism that have made both parties seem completely penny wise and pound foolish to me.
Besides, Witches deal with Sarah Palins on a daily basis!! Always have and probably always will (at least in the US)!!! We didn’t just wake up to this new American horror, we live with ignorance and prejudice and intolerance on a daily basis. We don’t slumber on the cultural watch the way those lazy liberals seem to.
For those of us who are inclined to believe that God and Goddess can be found in yourself, or perhaps does not exist at all, this is how the United States has always looked:
Homogenized. Self-righteous. Delusionally religious. Hypocritical. Dangerously conservative. Completely void of innovative and progressive thought. Patriarchal women passing for feminists. Scary. 24/7 Scary.
Come to think of it, that’s how I usually feel about the Democrats too! Funny!
Long ago, those of us who were lucky enough to hear what Ralph Nader was proposing and who campaigned fervently for him and who endured the stupidities of those who were angered by Nader’s “spoiler” votes (please deliver me from the hubris and assumptions of the narcissistic Dems) shook our heads when we realized he wouldn’t get the debating time or attention that he deserved.
I don’t need to say anything about Sarah Palin. As stated earlier, she speaks for herself. And for all those like-minded. To those who woke up recently, to an ugly America in danger of fascism, I say “Where have you fucking been? We could have used you in the Nader camp years ago…”
For those of us already mourning the loss of our sacred and cherished hope of giving Ralph Nader one more well deserved chance to intelligently CHALLENGE this corporate hegemony of bullshit that passes for a free nation’s government….well, all I can say is “FUCK IT!” I now have to give my vote to the shitty middle class Dems who appear to be a lesser evil than the ruling class bible thumping Repubs.
To all the earnest Sarah Palin haters, who get off on daily dissections of her, I flap my paws for you. This election has made me feel about as stimulated as a drunken seal, sluggishly congratulating the already self-congratulatory Dems for their wit: you guys are SOO MUCH SHARPER than those boring old Republican farts.
I hope that when Obama wins, people will blog about the great BAIT AND SWITCH or ”what happened when Obama got elected and nothing improved”?????
We Witches are looking forward to seeing all the optimistic American children winning their great big Obama prize. For many of us (we can already feel it on the winds), the next four years (of no lasting change) will be the last stop before flying out of this nest altogether and seeking higher ground, higher thinking in other, less narcissistic lands.
