I have been noticing a lot of paradox in politics and society lately and I have come up with the following new rules:

• You cannot claim to be Pro-Life and:
  • Yell, “Off with his head,” or, “Kill him” at political rallies.
  • Support the death penalty.
  • NOT BE a vegetarian.
  • Go hunting.
• You cannot disapprove of Bush after realizing what 7 years of leadership from a religious nut job with no clue about foreign policy can do to us and:
  • Support Sarah Palin.
  • Not support Obama because he is ”an intelligent elitist” and not religious enough.
• You can’t accuse Obama of pulling the race card and:
  • Complain about sexism when your highly unqualified VP is questioned.
• You are not allowed to complain about the cost of Democratic social programs and:
  • Support a $700 Billion bailout of companies who made terrible decisions.
  • Not be outraged about failure CEOs walking away with huge severance packages.
• You cannot support drilling in the ocean or wildlife preserves, poor fuel economy ratings and failure for the US to join the G8 Summit and:
  • Enjoy fishing
  • Go camping
  • Claim to care about the environment

Excerpt from Miseduation by The Capitalist Hippie Complex:

I’m sick of excuses, scapegoats and copouts
They’ve got an answer for everything, pulling all the stops out
It’s got me rich in education for a highschool dropout
Block out propaganda, get these questions knocked out

I think back to four years ago - Middle America, oh, what were you thinking?  And, although I wish we could reverse your decision to re-elect the worst president of all times, I am grateful that, after four more years of the worst leadership and greatest corrpution this country has ever witnessed, at least 70+% of Americans have realized that W stands for Worthless.  However, the following only reminds me that, many Americans, particularly those who claim most to represent the core values of this country, are violent, bigoted people with no tolerance or acceptance, and no sense of decency.  And, furthermore, that Republicans would rather energize their base through anger than work to unite the country.

MSNBC,in regards to McCain and Sarah Palin rallies over the past week:

“They’re making it personal, against the Democrat. Shouts of “traitor,” “terrorist,” “treason,” “liar,” and even “off with his head” have rung from the crowd at McCain and Sarah Palin rallies, and gone unchallenged by them.”

On top of that, riding on the backs of Diebold machines and Supreme Court takeovers of our country, the following make me realize that many Americans do not care about corruption so long as it perpetuates their agenda.

MSNBC reporting on a “typo” on NY ballots:

“In an upstate New York county, hundreds of voters have been sent absentee ballots in which they could vote for “Barack Osama.”  The absentee ballots sent to voters in Rensselaer County identified the two presidential candidates as “Barack Osama” and “John McCain.””

Quite frankly, I am nauseous from the news I’ve read over the past week (and the Grey Goose, Beer and Wine I had tonight).  As will be the theme on this blog from now on, here is a quote from one of our songs…

Excerpt from Ignorance and Fear by The Capitalist Hippie Complex:

Murder rates on the rise, and there’s people tuning out the truth
Bombs bringing blackened skies, they don’t want to know we’re killing youth
Whole nations terrified, and they’re persecuting friendly groups
Won’t admit leaders lied, that won’t justify our fallen troops…
