Here's to a Brainfree America!

I would say that every enemy of regulation everywhere can kiss my sweet liberal ass, but the thought of any wingtard of either gender being in close proximity to my nether regions makes my skin crawl. The outrage du jour occurred when perusing the packaging of a simple garden hose I bought at a small, local hardware store a couple days ago. To wit:

"WARNING: This hose contains chemical(s), including

lead, known to the State of California to cause cancer,

birth defects and other reproductive harm. Do not drink

water from this hose. Wash hands after use." (bold in

original)

Isn't that fucking beautiful? A hose that you not only cannot drink from, but, like anything/anyone GOP, you have to wash your hands after touching it. I would bet the farm that 99 percent of sheeple either do not read this bold-face warning or project the same moronic macho disdain for pussies like me that the 40-something blonde redneck within earshot did when I returned it.

Well, guess what, bitch? The joke is on you and your lamebrain spawn who actually know -- no thinking involved -- that a pathetic loser like Sarah Palin is what this country needs. Let me key you imbeciles in on a little secret: LEAD DAMAGES YOUR FUCKING BRAIN, RETARDS. PERMANENTLY. Is that plain enough English for you to understand? Or is it just that you figure when you got nothing, you got nothing to lose? I strongly suspect it is the latter.

The wrapper for the garden hose at issue, incidentally, is embellished with a large font "USA" (with a cutesy 5-pointed star in the "A" hole, you can't make this stuff up) and the accompanying "Manufactured in the U.S.A." Maybe these hoses were all supposed to go some country designated by our coporafascist overlords for future socioeconomic experimentation, but probably not. Eight years of official mendacity have led so many down a rabbit hole of no return that this type of callous disregard for our health and safety has become a, what else, no-brainer.

Wake Up, Sheeple! You Can't "Get Your Country Back" by Supporting the Assholes Who Stole It from Right Under Your Noses

Guess what? I would like my country back, too: the country where a unanimous Supreme Court decided the year I was born that "separate but equal" was the crock of shit that every southern cracker knew it was; the country that once elected as president a Republican military leader who knew what a crock of shit was capable of being brewed by the military-industrial complex and who had absolutely no fear of saying so.

Yet, since Barack Hussein Obama's (virtually untainted) election as our 44th Commander in Chief, the incessant sniping of the minions opposed to him has been largely a constant chorus of "I want my country back!" and variations on that theme.

Sue me if I am wrong, but this statement reeks out loud of racism, bigotry and Reaganesque delusions. It is a celebration of the unreformed Archie Bunker, an endorsement of Reagan's "young buck standing in line for his welfare check and food stamps," a hearty "amen" to Bush I's "carping, little, liberal Democrats."

Add in the blind hatred of William J. and Hillary R. Clinton, the equally blind devotion to the "free" market as envisioned by Ayn Rand and Alan Greenspan -- woefully inarticulated and disastrously implemented by Bush II -- and you have the recipe for our current quagmire.

What will it take for the misguided supporters of the likes of Sarah Palin to see that they have been had? Forty percent unemployment? Another Civil War? A nuclear apocalypse? A "rapture"? Fox News actually presenting a "fair and balanced" newscast? How about Rush Limbaugh apologizing on his deathbed ala Lee Atwater? Just for the sake of argument, I would wager that even if any these fantasy scenarios were to occur, it wouldn't change enough high-school-Republican minds to alter the outcome of a single congressional district race anywhere in the country.

Don't believe me? Then prove me wrong. Do any of them read anything? Or do they read "everything," just like Saint Sarah the snowbilly grifter? How the fuck did we become a nation of nitwits? Is half the population congenitally stupid?

Apparently, hindsight is not 20/20 for a rather large segment of these United States.
