Yay, I am pissed off again.

Sorry dear readers. I know I have been slacking in my rants as of late, not much to write about really. Brett Favre is over done. Our President is a moron. John McCain is insane and losing it more each day. Barrack Obama is okay in my book as far as politicians go. And as far as life goes, I work so much that I don't have a lot of time to be pissed off. That is, until today. I thought the high point of the Republican National Convention coming to Minnesota was when I explained to a "Young Republican" uber conservative Christian, that him, having tickets to the Rage Against the Machine concert, was probably the most explicit example of music to person irony that I could think of off the top of my head.

Then I turned on the T.V. and the world was fun again.

The local Fox channel was airing the local news. They were discussing security or something for the upcoming RNC thing in St. Paul and the assholes at Fox news were spewing the average amount of mouth dookie that they tend to spew about our living rooms when we accidentally flip them on as we search the airwaves for Survivorman. Usually I pay them no mind and make them go away but this time was different. They said a word that caught my attention. The word was "Anarchists".

Let me clarify the story. Apparently there are protesters planning to block bridges and motor ways to the convention. Form human blockades, sit ins, all the things peace lovin' hippies do when confronted with the international war machine that is the RNC. These people are normal, average, every day people that know that our country is getting screwed and they know who is doing most of the screwing. It's the right wing, conservative Christians that are taking America in the corn shoot sans lube and these people just want to show them a bad time. Seems fair to me, more power to ya, you dirty hippies. Dirty hippies that Fox news has decided to call anarchists.

Here is the anger point for me. Three months ago, while diddling away some time trying very hard not to do anything that seemed like moving. I left my remote across the room and was forced to deal with two hours of the actual Fox News channel. It was horrible. You know that feeling you get when someone is lying to your face and you know it but they get that smug look because they think you are oblivious to the fact that they are lying? That is what it was like, for two hours. Toward the end of the second hour I became furious and had to actually flop out of my chair and change the channel. Why was I so mad? Because I witnessed that beginnings of another witch hunt. This one would be different though, it was not gonna be like the Salem debacle but more ike that whole,"Who's a Commie Pinko thing from several decades back. But this time the red threat is not what we should fear but instead, anarchists. In two hours the word "anarchists" was spouted more times than it was written on Sex Pistols fans' jackets in the 80's. It crept up on me and made me realize that this was a new threat to freedom. a word. You see a protester is just a person that is against something and wants to make their grievance public. Anarchist however. That is much worse. First off, it is not unlike anti-Christ in the way it is spoken, It becomes very easy to demonize and twist in that simple sense. Then you add the connections the word was given with the occult and the militias over the last three decades and you get a pretty scary buzz word. That buzz word is some seriously bad hoodoo my friends. People that don't agree with the regime that is in place will become "Anarchists" and the government and news organizations will twist and bend that word every way they can until people are being jailed or losing their property for being "anarchists".

Anarchy:

1.a state of society without government or law.
2.political and social disorder due to the absence of governmental control: The death of the king was followed by a year of anarchy.
3.a theory that regards the absence of all direct or coercive government as a political ideal and that proposes the cooperative and voluntary association of individuals and groups as the principal mode of organized society.
4.confusion; chaos; disorder: Intellectual and moral anarchy followed his loss of faith.

I should add a fifth definition here

5. Not protesters, different from them.

The media and the government are calling you morons America. They will use your ignorance to crush you. Now call your local news and media outlet and let them have it you anarchic, separatist, fat bottomed, black eyed maniacs. Don't let stupidity eat us.

I love whiskey and getting pissed off. Thank you Fox news pricks.
