It just gets more absurd

It just gets more and more absurd. I used to think the Brafia and their hangers-on just thought we (voters) were stupid. Now I believe they think we must be absolutely unconscious. I don’t know how else one might explain the McCain campaign. George W. Bush has the lowest favorability rating of any President in history. It is widely conceded that he is the worst President in history and that his policies have been disastrous for our nation. McCain is running on those very same policies. Some roughly 80% of voters think we are on the wrong track and are demanding change. McCain is running on the same old failed policies. A majority of American women are for choice, McCain boasts of being anti-choice and threatens to do away with Roe vs Wade. The vast majority of Americans want us out of Iraq as soon as possible. McCain wants us to stay there in perpetuity. It seems that McCain doesn’t really have any agenda other than just continuing the status quo. He mocks Obama on withdrawing from Iraq in 16 months, then allows as to how that might be okay. He makes fun of Obama for wanting to add troops in Afghanistan, and then wants to do so himself, adding even more troops. He claims Obama does not support the troops although his own record of support is little more than dismal. He tries to paint Obama (raised by a single mother and going to college on loans) as an elitist while he and his wife sit on a huge fortune and he is the offspring of Admirals and wears 520 dollar shoes and owns 10 houses. He plays the so-called race card and then accuses Obama of doing it. He also insists Obama is not ready to lead while he, himself, doesn’t seem to know one faction or nation from another. Knowing he cannot win on any of the issues, he is attempting to drag Obama into the mud with negative campaigning (and accusing Obama of negative campaigning). And he repeatedly accuses Obama of treason, of wanting to lose the “war” in Iraq in order to become President (as far as I know this kind of slander is unprecedented in American politics up until now). He outdid himself today with the absurd when he said that behind Obama’s claims and positions (or whatever) was Obama’s wanting to be President (as if he, himself, is not running for President). In short, whatever McCain says that is just not downright absurd, is either a lie or a fabrication of some sort. To make things even more laughable, today I heard one of his defenders actually say that, yes, Obama was thoughtful, but McCain was decisive and what we need is decisive leaders (who presumably don’t think). This pretty much sums up the Brafia position: don’t think, just mouth the party line at all times. McCain doesn’t have to think, it’s all spelled out for him: human life begins at conception, abortion is wrong, taxing is bad (under all circumstances), war is good (for business), oil companies making unprecedented profits need more tax breaks and incentives, people should look out for their own health care, and being rich is apparently just a state of mind. Adultery is bad (except when he does it), and the answer to all problems lies in the military. Just one totally mindless, thoughtless absurd position after another. I suggest you don’t even try to make sense of this, just remain unconscious as they apparently perceive us to be. I have not mentioned the even more absurd claims that are being circulated about Obama: he’s a Muslim, he took the oath of office on the Koran, he’s not really an American (or at least somehow doesn’t share American values), he and his wife hate white people, he’s the anti-Christ, and one I saw the other day that claimed he fought for the Vietnamese when he was six years old in his pajamas (this one may have been in jest, I’m not certain. How can you tell these days). Throughout all this the MSM refuses to call McCain on any of his lies or ridiculous gaffes. It is really quite unbelievable. Obama raised something like 51 million dollars last month and has now about two million contributors to his campaign. The MSM wants us to believe that McCain is running virtually even with him in the polls. I believe this to be totally artificial and being kept there because if the truth were known it would become impossible for the Brafia to steal another election. If American voters are not mostly all unconscious Obama should win in a landslide.

The great animal revolution continues. I have previously mentioned that raccoons are taking over Germany and beavers are taking over much of South America. I have also mentioned that elephants and monkeys are becoming increasingly aggressive towards humans, as have mountain lions, tigers, and even worms that are expanding their territories. Wolves, too, have been acting up as have coyotes. Now we have reports from Florida that wild boars are causing trouble. In West Virginia wild chickens have been taking over. The bears in Anchorage have become a genuine problem and in California egrets have taken over a town just north of Sacramento. Bison are proving to be a problem on Illinois highways and elk are now becoming a problem on the Olympic Peninsula. How do you account for this growing world-wide animal behavior? I know you probably think it is just the natural result of humans taking over more territory and usurping the food supplies of these various creatures. No doubt that is part of it. But why so many different species? And why almost all simultaneously? Now, you know I am not much of a conspiracy buff, but this whole business seems very suspicious to me. What if, just what if, there is something behind this ubiquitous uprising? What if Intelligent Design created this situation as an experiment in behavior, creating humans with a fatal flaw to see how long it would be before they destroyed themselves and others? Our response to all of these animal “problems” is to kill them, along with all the plants and insects we for one reason or another think we don’t like? How do we know these creatures do not hold the secrets we need for better health and longer life, if not peaceful co-exitence? We don’t know, we just kill indiscriminately. And what if there really is such a thing as reincarnation? That beetle you just stepped on might well have been your mother-in-law, come back to visit you here on earth. Far-fetched? Of course. But probably no more so that some of the rumors circulating about Obama, or the assassination of Lincoln, or the existence of bigfoot or the Loch Ness monster, or the claim that George W. Bush is a “compassionate conservative,” or that Dick the Slimy wasn’t responsible for torture, or that Rumsfeld had a brain, or there were WMD’s in Iraq, or there are black helicopters massed on our northern border, waiting to come and steal our lawn chairs, and… and…
