With 7 days left I'm doing my part to debase the national discourse.
Adam Robinson has written a post whose intended purpose is to explore the writing style of his fellow bloggers. It turns out that I am included, but only as an example of writing which is "crass", "vulgar", and "consistently undermines the good points with the presentation of those ideas." Most insultingly he compares me to Frieda, the most repugnant example of confused conservativism I've found on the blogosphere. But, I can't deny it, it's all true. My writing isn't that good and I've got a lot of hatred in my heart. I'm angry, really angry in fact. I look towards next Tuesday and I can't stop worrying because George W. Bush is the fucking anti-Christ. Those who can't see him for such, including my parents whom I love dearly, scare me because it is so obvious. Now as a good liberal's tell me I am supposed to be open-minded and open-hearted, looking for change and listening to those who disagree with me. I'm not a good liberal and I don't want to be. I'll listen to people who disagree with me on music, or even those who want to vote for Nader. Hell! - I'll even listen to libertarians! But if you vote for George W. Bush you are voting for death.I never claimed to be a decent person and so it surprises me when people try to hold me to some kind of "decent person" standard. I've always had a problem keeping my mouth shut, and when I was an evangelical I found myself at the altar praying that such anger would be taken from me. The last time I ever debased myself, the last time I ever found myself in an evangelical revival service, I went down to the altar and I when people came to pray with me, as usual, I was annoyed. I just wanted to be left alone and when I looked up it was Craig next to me. He asked if I wanted to talk and I told him that I felt like I could only tear things apart, and was always so angry at the world. He, in his typical Craig way, said, "I think that may be good."
If, in 7 days, George W. Bush is elected by the combined idiocy of the American people to either vote for him or not challenge the way in which he was voted in then I will continue to debase the national discourse for the sake of honesty. If anyone wants to be a reasonable liberal, then by all means go ahead, but just remember you too will be responsible for the disgusting and repugnant acts done in the name of America and God.
