The Horror

Have you been hearing the fear? It permeates every single person who was pleased with the presiduncy of George Bush. I have met a few people who say that they think he was the finest president in their life time. You can only look at them as if they are two weeks past their medication. They are in a fear mode that I have to laugh at IF it wasn't so frightening, with the easy availability of guns and all. They are starting to call this country Obamastan. They claim we are on the precipice of the end of the Empire. The Mighty American Empire. They are losing their way of life. Their moorings. Their belief system. They are seeing the world change around them, and it's not asking their opinion. They are fearful of the velvet hammer being applied to the financial sector by the man they call Saddam Hussein Obama. And yes, dear reader, you have figured it out, they are the same conservatives I wrote about earlier. They are weenies. Scared and frightened. Attach electrodes to their eyelids and show them pictures of Abu Garib and they freak out, the needle twitches off the scale. When they find out the man under the hood is of darker skin, they calm down and demand a stronger current be applied to his genitals. There is a black man pissing in Jefferson's toilet. There is a black woman in Mary Todd Lincoln's bathtub. Don't kid yourself, don't give them luxury, this newfound conservatism has nothing to do with fiscal responsibility, nothing to do with a backlash against a democratic victory in the polls. There is a black family in Richard Nixon's White House. Crazy when you think that it was Nixon who said that one of the only reasons we should allow abortion is when the baby is half black, half white. A Barack Obama baby. Have you been hearing the fear?
