The Slaughter of Trusting Souls
Now, I don’t know much about what you might call “knowledge.” In fact, it’s probably safe to say that I know less than nothing when it comes to history, politics, economics, science, and all those other fancy subjects that liberal university-type people think are so important. But one thing I do know is that this Obama administration and this Democrat Congress are socialist. It’s not that I really know what the word “socialism” means, mind you. I mean, I know it’s like what they have in China and Russia and Cuba and places like that. It’s kind of like when a Big Government takes your money and spreads it around to everyone—sort of like the Feds do with Medicare and Social Security, except that I like my Medicare and Social Security, so don’t mess with them. But I don’t want anything else like Medicare and Social Security because that would just be too socialistical. I’d be against Medicare and Social Security, too, if we didn’t already have them and I didn’t already like having them…
But that’s not the point. The point is that people on the T.V. and the radio like Rush Limbaugh, Glenn Beck, and Ann Coulter tell me that Obama and the Democrats are socialist, and I believe them. It’s kind of like accepting that my 1978 edition of the New International Version of the English translation of the Bible is the Word of God. It’s something you just have to take on faith, and asking for proof kind of ruins the whole thing. I mean, demanding “proof” that the Bible is the Word of God is pretty much proof that you’re an atheist, right? So demanding proof that Rush and Glenn and Ann are telling the truth about Obama being a socialist is pretty much proof that you’re a socialist.
I just know what I know, you know?
I am brimming over with ill-defined pride and faux patriotism—and nothing you say could ever change my mind.
I am an All-American Fool.





Hmmm, I’m not sure if this is a gag; a parody of idiotic right-wing thought or a genuine expression of someone’s opinion. That’s how ridiculous the whole anti-socialist ideology is; it’d be a joke we’d all laugh at, except some people actually believe it LOL. Check out a text book entitled “America Sees Red: Anticommunism in American, 1870s to 1980s” by Peter H. Buckingham. It’s a calm, measured, fully referenced account of a political movement in the U.S. described by the author as an “anti-communist ideology” as it’s common thread was fear of “communism”; an arbitrary label attached by rightwing extremists to anything they didn’t like, i.e. anything left of centre. The same fear mongering political movement is at play today. It is basically composed of genuinely fearful and misguided people and their leaders who cynically manipulate their supporters to perpetuate the status quo that maintains their wealth and power, and to drag us all further toward the ultimate capitalism; one completely free of democracy. Those leading the opposition to Obama are a kind of fascist; political and social oligarchs hell bent on keeping American democracy a farce. Not also the relationship between religion and political foolishness.
