phantasmagoria

The Alberton Papers Vol. VII, # III
By Dick Darne 9-15-08
This week I am going to by-pass the think tank and conduct a short rant to let you folks know how I really feel. After countless e-mails consisting of easily debunked lies, myths and innuendoes, mostly about Senator Obama, I have realized that a frontal assault on ignorance is bound to fail, so I give up. It is hard to fathom someone so stupid as to believe that crap. With nothing of substance to offer on the actual issues, I suppose all that is left is to cling to lies and half truths. Anyone who wants more of the same policies that have brought us to the brink of ruin and our Constitution trashed must have truly drank the kool-aid and to the exclusion of reality must subscribe to fist-pumping red, white and blue phantasmagoria as a substitute for any kind of rational thinking. With a dearth of values or ideas they must resort to the lowest forms or campaigning, assuming the role of victim, avoiding all discussion of issues, but dwelling on assassinating their opponent’s character over the most picayunish items using half-truths, omissions and sometimes bald faced lies, in what is apparently a drive to sell their souls to the devil for power. Why is a self described "pit-bull with lipstick too fragile for full media scrutiny? (As if we actually had a functioning media.) In their zeal to hold up a demon of sorts, to be defeated at all costs, they lose sight of many other real dangers such as: loose nukes, looming climate change, dependence on foreign energy, national debt owned in a large part by the same country who additionally produces most of the cheap plastic crap found at wally world, (shoptilyadropbaby) and possibly the worst; we don’t make anything anymore and may have forgotten how. It is a sad day in any nation when it can’t produce the very things it needs to survive. So, you knowledge denying, political cretins, your minds are made up and sealed, I have better things to do than tilt windmills.
Don’t you folks forget Early’s celebration of life at the Alberton Community Center, Sunday, Sept. 21 at 2:00 pm.
My name is Dick Darne and I approve this message. Until next week, dd
