I get great e-mail:
Good post on the unemployed individuals in NYC. Delay's statements are so blatantly stupid, but I'm very afraid that what we are witnessing in America is the death of altruism and a kind of sadistic, vicious societal stupidity whose antidote may not be good, virtuous, moral liberals attempting change at the polls, but rather pissed-off just-folks, armed by the Republicans through their nutcase NRA laws, taking back their government and doling out rough justice to the Republican Marie Antoinettes. What about a tax revolt at all levels of government which demands a return to moral Liberal government, and I don't mean American Indian costumes on deadbeats tossing tea? Reverse Venezuela-style.
When do good, virtuous Liberals take back the word "evil" and apply it to Delay? When do good, virtuous, Liberals take back the word "enemy" and go after this corrupt bunch? What would it take for Liberals to appear dangerous, and I mean lots of us.
The Republicans have successfully recombined the DNA of Ayn Rand with the noxious sperm of the Christian, born-again Right and come up with an indestructible alien with acid for blood, and multiple jaws-within-jaws to savage all opposition. Liberals believe the American people will turn out to be Ripley (Sigourney Weaver), eventually, given the facts, but I have a terrible premonition that the American people, like the Delay-type ideological f****r scientists in the movie, will find the monster fascinating, preserve its many offspring, and clone the hell out of it.
Well, O.K., the metaphors went a little haywire, but then I learned vicious hate-talk at the feet of Grover Norquist, Rush Limbaugh, add your own names.
Thanks for listening.
John
(tbogg note: I made one little edit to John's letter that I want to explain. There is one word that I don't use on Tbogg and you probably know which one it is. It's not that I'm prudish about it (I use it often and with relish), it's just that if I put it on the blog, my wife can't access it at work at lunchtime to see what I'm up to, because of a filter at her work. So I am F-word free in writing if not at heart--Tom)
