Taking the Bait: Another Open Letter to an Idiot

(Author's Note: Hate to watse my time on this, seeing as how I've been away for do long. Working the graveyard shift for the last month made it difficult to post as I spent lots of daytime sleeping. Hopefully will be around more, but not for this crap. Honestly "Letterman's from New York" is the justification? Pathetic. Anyway, here we go...... tb) 



Jim,
 Once again I gave you a chance to go away quietly by posting a New York Dolls piece (Remember I wrote that we could either get into this egofest of stupidity or talk about the New York Doll? Remember that? That was a hint.) which you responded to, initially at least, appropriatley if not w/any real insight or rockcrit talent, but then for some reason you bring up Sarah Palin.

 What the fuck does Sarah Palin have to do w/the New York Dolls, apart from the fact that neither she nor David JoHansen has any right to be (snicker) President and, now that I think of it, actually both do cut fine figures in evening gowns? But, really Jim, do you actually believe that Palin has the brains, nevermind the chops, to lead this, or any, country? I sincerely hope you only post that tripe to provoke me, cause you know I, and most of America, surely the America that thinks, think Palin is a fool. Joe the Plumber (neither a plumber, nor named Joe, remember?) as VP?

 Really?

 If that's truly the case, if you truly believe that Sarah Palin represents the future of America; is one of the great minds of her generation; etc. then I have absolutely nothing to say to you 'cause you have clearly, clearly I say, lost yr mind. You seem to have the political instincts of a 6 yr old - 'Ooooooh, pretty lady loves guns and god. Me vote for pretty lady'- and if you are just trying to provoke me, then just grow the fuck up, OK?

 Although I can see how you might actually really support Palin as she represents 1950's America, which somehow has become Avalon for the ancient leaders of the Republican Party (Cheney, Gingrich, and -snicker again- Limbaugh). The Birth Certificate Denial Brigade's working the same side of the loyalty street as the McCarthy Hearings, and I have to ask - at long last, sir, have you no sense of decency? Palin is the Mary Tyler-Moore (playing Laura Petrie, I might add, Mary Richards being too independent minded) that the old goats you support put out front as 'proof' that they support women, if not women's rights. Much like they unleashed the hysterical Michael Steele into the zeitgeist as if to say 'Hey, we got us a black guy, too! And he's off the hook and hizzle!!!' And Joe the Plumber is an opportunistic nobody w/the same publicist as Grand Funk Railroad and would be lucky to end up on 'I'm a Celebrity, Get Me Out of Here' by yr birthday in 2012.

 Palin should go as far as 'Dancing w/the Stars', but no farther. (And yes, I realize that I, too, am an opportunistic nobody, but I'd never think so much of myself as to get a publicist. Never trust a revolutionary w/a publicist. Or a tour bus. Rage Against my Aunt Fanny!)

 Yr wishes for the resumption of a Christian Republican regime on America's shores is just that, wishful thinking. You yearn for the days when women did what men told them and America's greatness was unquestioned. Perhaps you want the White House 'white' again? Is that the problem, bunky? And if yr gonna fantasize, why settle for Palin? Pope Benedict for President in 2012!!! That's all that'll satisfy yr backward, Catholic ass, isn't it? Benny the Dick in 2012!!!!! Women as chattel, just like Year One when we knew what we were doing? The public stoning of gays because they're an abomifuckingnation? The end to abortion, leading to thousands of unwanted births, further choking an already dangerously overpopulated planet? Will you not be satisfied until 200,000 people starve to death every night??? Would that be OK w/you as long as they had all accepted Jesus???? I mean, that's all that matters, right? As long as we ALL accept Jesus under Jim Muglia's terms then we can all.........

 Fuck the niggers
 Fuck the Jews
 Fuck the faggots
 Fuck the poor
 Fuck women's rights
 Fuck Human Rights
 Fuck Islam
 Fuck Buddism
 Fuck Socialism
 and most impotantly, fuck ME. Because I am the center of the universe, you see due to the indisputable truth (hahahaha) that it unfolds around me. And of course you can say the same thing. And so can you and you and you etc. Man if I ever nail this burgeoning philosophy into a religion, I could make millions.

 And you all know I could if I set my mind to it, don't you?

 Anyway, I guess I can understand yr attraction to both Palin and Jesus. They're both pretty hot. But they're both about as relevant to me in 2009 as you and yr endless drivel. The '50's are over and time is moving past yr old tired ideas. Mine, too, so don't feel like the Lone Ranger. The Christian Right is crumbling because, much like the Moral Majority from which it sprung, it is neither Christian nor right. The Republican Party, yr Party, has been reduced to an impotent enclave for racist and sexist morons and I give the lady who told McCain that she didn't trust Obama because '.... he's an Arab' as proof of this, and McCain's idiotic and racist answer 'No ma'am, he's a good man' (as if there was no way an Arab could possibly be a good man) as further proof. If Captain Plane Crash McCain and the Idiot Palin are the best your Party can come up with, well you will lose. Hell, you did lose. America's hipper than you or I ever thought and will not fall for the sexist, fascist crap coming out of the G.O.P. these days.

 But, if we're taking bets on 2012, I'll predict that Jeb Bush will be the Republican's sacrificial lamb, so to speak, because if he hasn't been assassinated by one of yr crackpot friends by them, Obama will be re-elected. And, if one of your punkass, beer drinking, wife beating, god fearing, bible thumping, gay bashing asshole brethren do bust a cap in the brother's ass, then say hello to President Clinton. Hillary Clinton, that is.

 And while yr saying hello to that, please just say goodbye to this page, OK? If you don't want to grow up, that's yr choice, but some of us are moving forward and have no use for you or what you call ideas.

"...Another Open Letter to an Idiot" There it is again. The assumption that I'm an idiot. Which means, objectively speaking, that YOU are closed-minded.

 

"Jim, once again I gave you a chance to go away quietly by posting a New York Dolls piece (Remember I wrote that we could either get into this egofest of stupidity or talk about the New York Doll? Remember that? That was a hint.) which you responded to, initially at least, appropriatley if not w/any real insight or rockcrit talent, but then for some reason you bring up Sarah Palin. What the fuck does Sarah Palin have to do w/the New York Dolls, ...?"
 
There's a reason that Sarah Palin is absolutely hated and despised by the left, to the degree that they blow up her church, etc. And that reason is because she poses a real and vialbe threat to them in 2012. And she is the incarnation of Abraham Lincolon, Ronald Reagan, and Martin Luther King, so she's not likely to lose.

"But, really Jim, do you actually believe that Palin has the brains, nevermind the chops, to lead this, or any, country? I sincerely hope you only post that tripe to provoke me, cause you know I, and most of America, surely the America that thinks, think Palin is a fool. Joe the Plumber (neither a plumber, nor named Joe, remember?) as VP?"
 
Then why does she draw in crowds of 20,000, which are significantly bigger than Obama's crowds? Why is she up there with Huckabee for 2012? Palin and Joe the Plumber have something Obama and his cronies could not even dream of in their wildest imagination: common sense. And Palin is a woman of incredible dignity. Princess Diana with a brain, that's the best way I know how to describe her. This lady is absolutely totally one of us, small town to a tee, yet she has executive experience, an incredible work ethic, etc.

And how in the world can you see she want to reduce women to the 1950s when she's a governor and running for president? What a twisted thing to say.

I got news for you, pal. Read the book "Who Stole Feminism?" by Christina Hoff Sommers. Feminism is not a bunch of pissed-off hairy legged bimbos bitchin' about their rights to have their baby-killed by by a pseudo-doctor psycho.

"If that's truly the case, if you truly believe that Sarah Palin represents the future of America; is one of the great minds of her generation; etc. then I have absolutely nothing to say to you 'cause you have clearly, clearly I say, lost yr mind. You seem to have the political instincts of a 6 yr old - 'Ooooooh, pretty lady loves guns and god. Me vote for pretty lady'- and if you are just trying to provoke me, then just grow the fuck up, OK?"


This from a guy who believes Obama is the savior of mankind?

"...Yr wishes for the resumption of a Christian Republican regime on America's shores is just that, wishful thinking. You yearn for the days when women did what men told them and America's greatness was unquestioned."

Why in the Hell would I support Sarah Palin for President if that were the case?

"You want the White House 'white' again? Is that the problem, bunky?"
 
I want the white house "right" again, and I would be happy to have a woman Christian or black Christian do the job.

Your prediction about Jeb may be correct though; and I agree that anyone will have a hard time beating Obama in 2012, because incumbents always tend to have the upper hand, plus he has the full media backing, even in the midst of the expanding fire of unemployment and danger from enemies like North Korea that he keeps adding fuel to.

We both want women to be loved, revered, and respected. And so does God, that is why Jesus exaled His Mother, Mary; and went out of His wasy to do undheard of things like talk to Gentile women, adn befriend Mary Magdalene. Seems abortion destroys a part of who women are. Don't you think if  a guy is making love with  a woman and thinking she can just have an abortion if the birth control don't work, that the woman is being reduced to merely an object for the man's pleasure?

The first prophecy of Teh Messiah in The Bible was in Genesis, the Bible's first book, where in chapter 3, verse 15, it says that the "seed of woman" will crush the devil's head.

Catholicim is the most woman-honoring religion in the whole world.

Anyone get any good CDs lately?

Charlie Daniels "Fire on the Mountain" from 1975 is alright, with the laid back "Georgia" tune, not to be confused with the Ray Charles classic. Will probably check out what his "Saddle Tramp" CD is all about  sooner or later, has that cool "Witchita Jail" song on it.

Also, CSN's "Greatest Hits" sounds good, can't figure out how in the heck "Southern Cross" slipped under my radar as just background music for all those years. "Shadow Captain" and "Wooden Ships" ain't too bad either. Ooh, but what's that one I really dig? The one that goes "In my dreams, I can see, I can see my love...". That is a one great tune, I think it's my fave on there. And "Long Time Gone" is is a pretty good jam. And a couple of those Graham Nash ones, I had no idea were CSN and figured it was a totally different band. I'm talkin' bout "Just a Song Before I Go" and "Our House".

Then Foreigner "No End in Sight" was only six or 7 bucks at Sam's so I figured what the heck. I just love that "Starrider" song, it made the whole CD worth every penny. Then "Dirty White Boy" has the line I can all too well identify with, but wish I couldn't: "I''ve been in trouble since I don't know when. I'm in trouble now, and I know somehow I'll find trouble again." That Head Games was a real tripped out album way back when, when I was in the sixth grade and they were my favorite band. They were out to shed the "corporate rock" image of their first couple albums, and wound up making total juvenile asses of themselves in trying to do it, but managed to eek a few gems on it like "Rev on the Red Line". I guess the point of Foreigner is that even a shamelessly commercial band can eek out some gems here and there.

Johny Cash at San Quentin is a pretty juiced show, but I'll take the studio tracks over those any day, though the "San Quentin" track stands out pretty good both times he plays it. "Boy Named Sue" leaves me in stitches every time.

Anyhow, sorry I can't rview like you and Simmons, Tim; all I can say is "That's a cool tune", "that song sucks", etc. Shallow, maybe, but at the end of the day, doesn't it mainly come down to if you dig the tune or not? :-b

It would be great to hear what CDs peolpe are enjoying right now, if they don't have to write  a freakin' book on them.

"If Captain Plane Crash McCain and the Idiot Palin are the best your Party can come up with, well you will lose."
 
Earth to Tim. Democrats and Independents voted McCain as the candidate, not conservative Republicans. Among conservatives, Romney and Huckabee were the winners. And when McCain won, he couldn't hold a candle to Obama's poll numbers, until he picked Sarah Palin, and that even catapulted his numbers above Obama's for  a little while.


"Hell, you did lose. America's hipper than you or I ever thought and will not fall for the sexist, fascist crap coming out of the G.O.P. these days."

You're dead wrong. America is conservative. Obama won by giving the illusion that he was open to conservative things.

All that put another way, The Democrats are presently in power through Bush-weariness, yes; but lies, deceit and dirty tricks, mostly. And they're going down like the Titanic in 2010, just like they are in Europe right now.

Yeah, sure Franken won in Minnesota, mmm hmmm.

And don't give me no Florida 2000 stuff. If Gore couldn't win his own freakin' home state, there is the guy who lost it for himself.

And another thing, most of the country is pro-life now, 51%. Get with the program man, your Rolling Stone culture is going the way of the dinosaur, because it's failed completely. Obama, Mr. Satan Incarnate, is going to try to get all the garbage through he can before 2010; but I'm praying for miracles to stop all of his evil plans from going through. And the bible says that the good guys win, so I ain't giving up.

Exactly, if that guy's going to be a you-know-what to me in any and all circumstances, and then absolutely nobody is going to take my side or be gracious in any way shape or form, you can bet that I'm sure-as-heck going to stand up for me by sticking around.

Plus if he was even somewhat nice, he wouldn't find me to be such a bad guy. Besides, this all Tim vs. Tim, not Tim vs. Jim.

He talks about our discussions being an "egofest". Speak for your dang self Tim, I care about goodness and truth, not my stupid ego. I've eaten humble pie several times to do what's right, and I'm sure I will be doing more of it in the future. Life's too short for ego first, that's waht i'm trying to tell you. Quit complicating things with ego. Screw our egos, it just gets in the way of the best thing for all of us: truth.

I really wish everyone in the world understood how the sacrament of confession helps nail our egos to the cross once and for all. (Insert irrelevant cheapshot here, Tim.) I mean, we all always deal with ego, but confession keeps it in check. All of those "so f me too" statements are on the right track, but Tim you gotta get rid of the gunk part of you you're saying that about. Truth over ego is a great way to start.

Father in Heaven,

I don't know why LL is such a backstabbin' son of a gun; but please bless and take care of he and his loved ones anyways. Help him knock off some of those bills and lighten the financial load for him, just like I can use a little help and direction on.

I ask in the name of The Father, The Son, and The Holy Spirit. Amen.

Mother Mary, pray for us all. St. Joseph, our foster-father, pray for us all. Amen.

And another thing, Tim.

You don' t have to have a pit in your stomach of me ruining your blog for you all the time; all you have to do is when you go to the Blogs tab where you do your new posts, click on that link that says "Edit Blog" and go to my posts and just delete them. It won't delete the whole thread, just my responses. It's as easy as pie. I'd much rather have you know you can do that and have peace inside, rather than being unnecessarily infuriated.

I want to quit

When is TE's "F4 2010" concert?  ("Feed the Freeloaders 'Forget' the Fetuses")

Featuring:

TB - able to avoid analyzing the facts on the table with a single top hat and cane monologue.

CS- able to turn a blind eye to the fullness of truth while being Weird-Al-donut-baited with the scent of career security.

RN - able to down several cans of peanuts and beer while going through life accepting CNN editorials as gospel, since he ain't got no church to hear the real gospel at.
