And along came a Johnson.... A pathetic attempt at a political Nursery Rhyme (Or Something)

Submitted by Alphalop on Sat, 07/30/2016 - 12:12pm

So I had to come in and cool off for a bit from some yard-work (Frigging EVERYTHING grows so fast in Florida and it's hotter than Satan's Taint out there...)

Took a bong rip and sat here sipping on a giant mug of an Arnold Palmer waiting for my spasms to abate and decided to get silly. Things have been too damn serious.

I hope you like my first attempt at something like this and as it's all just off the cuff and I only spent about 10 minutes on it be gentle.

This is a Thing now -- "Democratic" Free Speech Zones

“The best way to take control over a people and control them utterly is to take a little of their freedom at a time, to erode rights by a thousand tiny and almost imperceptible reductions. In this way, the people will not see those rights and freedoms being removed until past the point at which these changes cannot be reversed.”

Hillary Can't Beat Trump Without The Progressive Vote

Submitted by capforfun on Sat, 07/30/2016 - 9:28am

So let us, as a movement, extract binding commitments for our support. Of course in order for this to work we can not bluff, we need to be committed to either vote Jill Stein or not vote if she ignores us and yes if necessary be willing to throw the election to Trump.

It takes a certain kind of privilege to not vote for Hillary

Submitted by BayAreaLefty on Sat, 07/30/2016 - 8:00am

This is an argument we're going to hear for the next several weeks or few months as the general election campaign progresses. The implied (or sometimes explicitly stated; see LoF) privilege is that of a white male. Frequently "affluent" or some variation will also be included.

Election days, come and go. But the struggle of the people, to create a government which represents all of us, and not just the one percent—a government based on the principles of economic, social, racial, and environmental justice—that struggle continues. And I look forward, to being part of that struggle, with you.

—Bernard Sanders

I thought that was a good speech. I think it would have been a better speech, without all that lauding ladled onto The Mad Bomber. But then, it wasn't my speech.

I have never agreed with The Cranky Brooklyn Deli Man, on everything. To turn it around: the Deli Man, he does not believe, everything that I believe. But then again, neither does anyone else on the planet.

I think the Deli Man, he is a 2016-04-22T212647Z_912160292_GF10000392721_RTRMADP_3_USA-ELECTION-SANDERS.jpggood man. And I think he meant it, when he said:

I understand, that many people, here, in this convention hall, and around the country, are disappointed, about the final results of the nominating process.

I think it's fair to say, that no one is more disappointed, than I am.

The Deli Man, he has now made a Finding. And from that, he has reached a Conclusion. The Finding, it is this:

The Hairball is a bully and a demagogue. The Hairball has made bigotry and hatred the cornerstone of his campaign.

In objective Reality, every word of that is True.

The Deli Man's Conclusion, however, after having made this Finding, it is that people should then vote for The Mad Bomber, to be the president.

I think the Deli Man, he has the right, to come to this Conclusion. If he wants to. But I also think, that just because that is his Conclusion, that doesn't mean that everybody else, has to Conclude so, too.

It is kinda like when the Science Men, they dig up a bone. They all look at it, and then all agree on the Finding: this is a bone. But then come the Conclusions. "This bone, it is from an elephant," pronounces the first Science Man. "Actually," asserts the second Science Man, "it is from a donkey." "It is clear that this bone, it is a Fringe event," propounds the third Science Man. And the fourth Science Man, he Concludes: "This bone does not really exist."

And so it goes. As they say: other voices, other rooms. And all that.
