Confessions of a Bitter Neo-Con, Warmongering, Chicken Hawk, Small Town, Typical White Person

[Kat - yeah, the last one was too serious, so I thought I'd try a different approach]

Starting with "Why Obama Just Doesn't Get It"

I am a bitter neo-con, warmongering, chicken hawk, small town, typical white person.

I've been wanting to say that for some time now. There are very few people who own up to that title anymore. Everywhere you read or watch, the term "neo-con" is disparaged as the great bogeyman, equal to or part of the small, but powerful Jewish kabal that somehow manages to run the world. I wouldn't mind meeting this group of folks and learning the secret of how a few bankers and corporate CEOs manage to rule the world between the Sabbath, the many Jewish holidays, bat mitvahs, golf and their kids' piano and Hebrew recitals. I mean, you've got to admit, it takes sheer genius to run the world, oppress a billion Arabs and a few other hundred million people, instigate wars, crash and build economic markets, put out tons of propaganda, assassinate world leaders, read the New York Times, develop incurable viruses to wipe out whole populations and run a huge business consortium in a four day week. Don't forget, keeping the wife happy.

Sheer genius and masters of quantum physics, mathematics and time traveling time management based on everything they are allegedly responsible for in history. I have seriously got to meet these folks. How do you get a promotion in this organization anyway?

Even among conservatives, the term "neo-con" has taken a bad wrap. Many have bought into the left's propaganda that it was this small band of radicals that not only pushed President Bush to war with Iraq, but some how caused the war to be prosecuted badly. Apparently, our genius Jewish Kabal masters were on a four year vacation and only came back recently to institute COIN theory. See, you know its a Jewish conspiracy because the acronym is "COIN". We are actually using this idea and turning people away from radical Islam into materialistic zombies who only want food, electricity, clean water and some say so in how their government is run. Little do they know...ha-ha! feel our power.

Pardon me, if I sound bitter, but its hard to write a good rant while I am desperately clinging to my bible and gun, Especially when I have to pause every few minutes to throw darts at my favorite "wanted" poster of Poncho Villa while simultaneously tossing matches on my piles of clothes, household appliances and camouflage car seat covers because they are products of "free trade" with little tags that say "made in Honduras" and such.

Really though, I want to learn that mind control thingy. I've taken some classes, but I definitely don't have it down like the Masters. Two weeks ago I was at this sporting event and they were playing the national anthem. I stood up real quick and folks followed my lead, though some a little slowly. Then I looked at my nephew who still had his hat on so I bumped him with my elbow. He looked over at me with this "huh?" look so I stared at him real hard, then at his hat, then at him and then at his hat. Finally, my Jedi mind tricks worked and he took his hat off and put it over his heart. About ten or so men around us got the idea and did the same. Some women even put their hands over their hearts.

I could see other people looking around. I couldn't tell if it was heat stroke or dazed horror at seeing a near on Nazi like display of people actually saluting and honoring the flag of the US KKK of A. I could tell some of them were scared. You could almost smell it over the popcorn and hot dogs.

Obviously, though, I need to work on that mind control thing because not everyone followed my silent orders. However, I was certain there must have been a bunch of other neo-neo-cons in the crowd with the same green belt in mind control because I saw little patches of people all over the stadium doing the same thing. Yes! Still, I think I need to send a message to the masters because some folks aren't doing their jobs. I can remember when we used to have the power to make almost everybody in the stadium stand up, take their hats off or put their hands over their hearts. The Masters are apparently too busy on the golf course to keep this little charade going.

You know, I am bitter though about the Clinton and Bush administration. I voted for Clinton and all I got was higher taxes and a bunch of people telling me that having an affair with different women while in office was NOT sexual harassment or demeaning to women. I have to admit, I was really confused. That whole time I was being told that sexual harassment in the work place was bad and that women had to stand up for equality and respect in the work place. I even lectured some guy about smacking women on the butt in our office. Then they said, yeah, butt smacking was bad, it's better to use a cigar.

Boy, was I confused. So, I got out my bible and my gun and prayed a lot. Then this voice came out of nowhere, kind of like God speaking to Moses, but it sounded like Karl Rove. It said I should vote for Bush. I was praying at the time, so I started looking for a burning bush, but all I saw was some guy on TV called George Bush.

I got the message and I voted for Bush. I kept seeing messages from people that said we neo-cons were paid agents of Karl Rove. I have to say, I'm a little ticked off about that, maybe even bitter. I never got a secret decoder ring, a personal message and not one damn check for all my jumping up and down yelling, "freedom and democracy". (Heh. My mind control, ESP is getting stronger. Just as I was typing "freedom and democracy", my brother started singing "Freedom". Of course, he could have picked somebody other than George Michael to sing. Guess I need to work on that a bit.)

Anyway, Karl must have been THE Master of mind control because that whole time I thought I was shouting about freedom and democracy of my own accord. Wait, did I spell that write? I was waching Jon Kary one day and he said that stupid peeple went to Irak. So, quik like Iran (get it, Iran..I ran) down to the rekrute station (I don't know why they call it a "station", kuz they weren't sellin' no gas thar). I figured iffen I spelt stuff wrong I'd be a shoe in fer the army.

Then this brown shirt, Nazi looking dude told me I had to pass the ASSFAB. I got all ticked off again and I tolt him this was the United States Army and it didn't matter how fab my a$$ looked in a uniform, I just wanted to kilt somethin'. Anyway, he made me take this test and I got a 92% on it, but then they had some other brown shirt Nazi do all these tests and he said I had a torn rotator cuff. I asked him why he was looking under my car hood, kuz how else could he know I had a bad rotor? This was America, dagnabit, and no one had any right to look under my hood without my permission. We still got some rights to privacy 'round here.

Anyhoo, he sent me home so I had to go find some other organization to join and support the war effort because, you know, war is good. I found this group of people called "chicken hawks". That sounded like my kind of organization because here in the bitter midwest, chicken hawks are some bad a$$ birds of prey. I figured if a bunch of people were calling me a bird of prey, I might as well live up to it and join. I got a cool patch and everything, much better than what I got from the Rovian Neo-con Kabal.

I decided that, if I was going to be some grand pubah in the Bitter Neo-con, Warmongering, Chicken Hawk, typical white person world, I'd have to find somebody to pattern my self after. I stopped reading my bible long enough to look in my old, battered history books. There he was, the bitterest, most radical mid-westerner of all: John Brown, complete with bible and gun in hand. Dude was, like, totally freedom for everybody, even if it had to happen at the point of a gun.

It brought back memories of the time our class took a pilgrimage to the site of the Pottowatamie Massacre. I know, I'm from Missouri now, but back then I was pure, Grade A Kansan and John Brown was kind of a hero. That whole "liberty and equality" for all men, regardless of color, went really great with the whole "neo-con" persona I was trying to cultivate (I found my dictionary, too), but it created a whole new conundrum (dictionary) with my "anti-pathy for people who don't look like me, typical white person" persona. It's like having schizo-phrenia.

So, I prayed a bunch more and then went outside to shoot a poor defenseless squirrel that kept tossing acorns on my roof. I felt a lot better after that. Cleared my mind, so to speak. I realized that I did have some antipathy for people who didn't look or sound like me. Truth is, I never looked good in pink. I found balance, you could say.

Then I called my friend Alonzo and confessed that I was a typical white person. He asked me what the f*&# I was talking about. I just told him to roll with it and let me get it off my chest. He asked me if it could wait until the KU game was over. Anyway, we're all good now. We're going bowling this weekend. (No, really, we are.)

I just wanted to thank Senator Obama for pointing out my whole duel personality thing and making me so introspective. Until now, I had no idea I was so confused and bitter.

If you're a confused, bitter, typical white person who clings to your bible and gun because life just sucks, do what I did and have a come to Obama moment. You'll feel so much better afterwards.

I sympathize with your bitterness. I mean, it must suck when the political party that professes to share your beliefs has the bad graces to grow the federal government by leaps and bounds, lock down on personal rights, write your own version of federal laws, casually spend billions of dollars a month in a war without meeting its own metrics for success for years, casually discuss how torturing Americans and kidnapping foreigners is okay, refuse to fund US veterans' health and education issues, and piss off 85 percent of the modern world. And let's not even get into the strange world of how many Republicans are getting arrested, forced out of the closet, and are for some reason declaring in masse that they don't intend to serve another term of office. It's almost as if they sense the mood of the nation swinging against them and they frankly don't want to clean up the mess that they've created (pottery barn rule doesn't apply to domestic politics). If I were to lose office after controlling the three branches of government for twelve years, losing two-thirds of the American public, crashing the economy, and running a war into a ditch after five years, I guess I would be a bitter warmonging chickenhawk neocon too. Fortunately, I'm not.
 
Good thing you weren't "too serious" in this one. Wasn't there an earthquake out by you this morning? Now that's serious.
 
Read David Ickes sometime, if you want the real scoop on all this neo-con, Halliburton, Illuminati, secret society, Joooish, reptile alien, Babylonian Brotherhood conspiracy thing! LOL He's got all the bases covered. The really frightening thing is how much the loony left and the Democratic Party sounds just like him now.
 
Heh. You all didn't like my roll through every stereo-type ever thrown around the blogosphere? Jason obviously took that really serious. LOL J...Dude, come November, if you're guy wins, I'll buy you a steak dinner.
 
Kat, Haha, sounds like Jason has a crush on you. And fdcol, you forgot the 32nd order Masons. But seriously, I'm pretty turned off of the Repubs because of their alignment with the "cultural conservative" movement, the massive increase in the defecit, and an improperly handled foreign policy (note: I agree with the surge and COIN strategy, but I still think we should've stayed out of Iraq in the first place). But, I'm not running with open arms to the Dems either.
 
I must need new reading glasses because I never know when to take you or ry or John seriously anymore. It must be the stress of work affecting my humor. Kat, you're on, if your guy wins in November, I will treat you to a good Northern Virginia steak dinner.
 
Haha, sounds like Jason has a crush on you.
In which case, maybe I shouldn't have offered to buy him a steak dinner. He might get the wrong idea. LOL
 
I never know when to take you or ry or John seriously anymore.
LOL Dude, that's like a compliment or something. I worked hard for that. LOL
 
I will treat you to a good Northern Virginia steak dinner. Jason - we're from where all the good cows come to become steak. Good thing you stated that as an absolute to Northern Virginia vice a relative to the heart of beef country! I never know when to take you or ry or John seriously anymore. Heh. I think that has more to do with your being so wrapped up in the glow of Senator Obama has fogged your lenses than my not being clear. Kat and Ry, however, I understand that... ;^ )
 
LT Nixon, welcome to my club on Iraq, anyway. As for the "cultural conservatism" we may have to do some area-by-area delineations to see where we might align there.
 
Kat and Ry, however, I understand that... ;^ )
Now, hold up, there. I was sure this sentence gave it away.
So, I prayed a bunch more and then went outside to shoot a poor defenseless squirrel that kept tossing acorns on my roof. I felt a lot better after that.
I mean, I don't have any oak trees around my house, you all ought to know that. ;)
 
Kat, Have you read Shadow Warriors by K. Timmerman? The Untold Story of Traitors, Saboteurs, and the Party of Surrender. Well I guess it's told now. It's a slow read cause I kept flinging it across the room. "Thay who are you, boy?" "I'm a chicken hawk and I eat chickens" "Well I'm a dawg, but that's a chicken over yonder" Sorry...I just couldn't help myself. Rhode Island Red is my fovorite.
 
Kat, to be a tad more serious, the Bush administration did screw up in more than a a couple of areas. Jerry Pournelle has been lambasting Bremer and Company for years; you gonna tell me he's a crazy leftie? ;) A more specific example is how the administration completely ignored the sheiks and other local authorities, and even tried to cut them off until the last year or so. Another one: until just before the surge, the policy was "clear and leave," not clear and hold. Yep, the Merkans would roll into town, shoot all the bad guys (they could see), intone "our work is done here" and go to the next town. Jason, I'll agree that the budgets have been absurd, but it's not all Dubya. I won't mention earmarks; they're small change. Go back and check the voting records for all those budget-busters. You'll find a whooole lot of Democrats voting not just "Yes," but "Heck, Yeah!" I'll highlight the Medicare and No Child Left Behind bills especially. On the other hand, I can act all superior because I voted for, and am represented by the honorable John Boehner, pork-fighter. So nyaaa! P.S. It's pronounced "bay-nor," not "boner." Just so's everyone knows... ;)
 
Casey, If you want tad...here's tad. The leadership in congress has more then let us down. Newt (resigned in disgrace), the guy from Texas, (resigned in disgrace), Dennis from Illinois (resigned from a sinking ship), that left your buddy "bay-nor". I like him. He's articulate and presentable but gives the impression of standing around with his finger in a dike. He's been in charge of getting more like him elected. We really need him to succeed in order to have any influence over what laws are about to be passed. I too, have a Republican Congressman; and from New Jersey that's saying something. It takes a lot more effort to keep him elected then it does to re-elect Mr Boehner. And...his name is Rodney how tough is that? Our leadership has to grab a hold of their ears and pull their heads out of their...ah..you know. I won't waste time on the Senate, my two are just behind Obama as most liberal. Oh the shame.
 
Fish..Th-th-th-that's all folks! No, I haven't read that book. Kind of felt like I was living it the last few years, though. Casey... One thing I'm not is crazy nor deluded as some would like to content. ;) I am not unaware of mistakes, nor in how they will be recorded in history. I am aware of history and understand that, sometimes, it's the idealists that persevere and get things done, even if it is rocky and ugly. I took my cue on this war from history and my own ideas about what was necessary or not. I really do believe that freedom and democracy, right in the middle of Jihad world, is a good thing. Obviously, we approached that with a little "too" much enthusiastic idealism and not enough anthropological, social studies and information. I think there is a long term place for that in our long term strategy to defeat extremist Islam. I think most people mistake that belief as some sort of worship or brainwashing from Bush, et al. That is simply wrong. I came to that conclusion after I read a bunch of books and pamphlets written by none other than our enemy and the founders of extremist Islam. Whatever our reasons for going to Iraq, however the idealists may have placed the lofty goals of democracy and freedom above pragmatism, I believe that Iraq, as a free nation, is a dagger in the heart of extremists islam and their "caliphate". They could not resist going to Iraq or trying to wrest Baghdad from us because it is the historical heart, the cross roads, of every previous caliphate prior to the decadent ottomans (which AQ doesn't like either). By creating democracy and freedom in Iraq, in Baghdad, we are stealing history from them. Since they place so much pride and emphasis on the history of Islam, it seems to me the first best step to end it, short of total war or, in fact, bombing any number of nations while simultaneously cutting our own throat for necessary resources, is to stake a flag for freedom and democracy in the ground right in the center of everything they dreamed of and defend it at all costs. There is plenty of blame to go around for the conduct of the war to date and plenty of things to praise. I'll leave that to the historians (if I can), but I will not leave the outcome to political partisanship. Mistakes do not mean all is lost and losing a battle here and there does not mean the war is lost. We need to win this one. that's it.
 
Boy, was I confused. So, I got out my bible and my gun and prayed a lot. Then this voice came out of nowhere, kind of like God speaking to Moses, but it sounded like Karl Rove. It said I should vote for Bush… I got the message and I voted for Bush. -Kat That was very humorous!
