Michele Bachmann is a Message from God
Far right Christian Looney Toon Michele Bachmann claims that the recent earthquake (I didnât even know theyâd had one, so we arenât exactly talking Japan here) and hurricane in the eastern US are messages from God telling Americans that, since they havenât already suffered enough disasters, they should put a dominionist in the Oval Office.
I know the batty bitch says this crap with a smile on her face, but then plenty of people make jests in all seriousness, and given her radical religious views I think it more likely than not that she means it. Worse yet, I am damn (sorry, I meant darn) sure that Bachmann knows thatâs how her deranged followers are taking it.
If Bachmann wasnât such a thickie I might think that there was also a subtext here about god hating liberals, as the east coast is just crawling with those dastardly rats. As it is, I doubt she even knows what a subtext is, much less how to use one.
Does Bachmann stand any real chance of getting her partyâs nomination? No. Does she stand a good chance of helping fellow nutball Rick Perry to get it by making him look more moderate by comparison? Yes, yes she does.
London Crackdown Continues
In the wake of the recent lame-brained, half-assed, canât-tell-shit-from-chocolate uprising in London, the politicians are being their usual predictable and authoritarian selves. One man has been charged with trying to start a water fight, another two are looking at terms of four years for trying to start a disturbance, and one man is looking at a jail sentence for looting two – count âem – two scoops of ice cream! I suppose the latter should simply have tried to steal the ice cream. Oh no, waitâŚ
Bail is being denied at a far higher rate for these offences than for violent crimes, people are losing their government housing and welfare payments, and social media is being attacked for doing in Blighty what they were cheered for doing in Egypt. Why such a harsh response? Because it sends the message that rebellion, no matter how minor, will not be tolerated by the psychopaths who own your ass, thatâs why.
British Crackdown On Water Fights?
As soon as maggots like David Cameron made it clear that the London riots would be used to take England closer and closer to something that will make certain comic books look like a history of the future rather than fiction, you knew shit like this was going to happen.
A young man ( theyâre always the most troublesome, hence have to be stomped extra hard) in Essex has been arrested for planning a water fight on Facebook and the BlackBerry Messenger service!
We all know what English weather is like, and maybe the authorities are just a bunch of nice, avuncular types who are dreadfully afraid that someone will catch a nasty cold. Or maybe, just maybe, this is a way of sending a loud and clear message that no matter how trivial the act of disobedience you will be hunted down and locked up. And if you canât get away with a water fight, you had better not even think of staging a political riot or we will send some blokes round and you will never be seen again. Not there yet? Maybe not, but authoritarianism by stealth is the preferred method in the developed world.
The English PM actually admits that he wants to investigate whether or notâ it would be right to stop people communicating via these websites and services when we know they are plotting violence, disorder and criminality”.
Or for that matter, a revolution against a dirtbag government that treats everyone except the rich like shit.
