Someone who I admire aptly references it as a STASI police state.
Happy 4th.
Happy 4th of July dear chickory!
xoxoxo ♡
Grim reality?
Find some joy today.
I think one of the blessings of living in this country is that America is also a concept. So it exists in and of itself, complete and separate from what our leaders currently do to obfuscate its ideals.
That being said, our current leaders are thugs.
xl: sounds about right to me.
dianne: thank you dear.
fishy: i can still have joy while recognizing the slide into serfdom. Read what Obama has in store for rural america. Just another incredible expansion of central planning and control. but why worry? light some sparklers, drink a beer and fuggitabout it? NEVER!
moi: agreed. I think people tend to think that by my merely noticing the horror of the State that somehow that means i dont love this land. au contraire. have a happy day today, Moi. and see ya in 3~
Happy "dead white men" acknowlegement day! One wonders if Generation Yo! government school victims who spend more time on Maya Angelou than John Adams understand what this day's about.
They definately do NOT get the "slide-to-serfdom".
I kinda feel like that hammer at times.... clunk, clunk, go to work, clunk, make a little money, clunk, get a bill in the mail from the IRS, clunk it's all gone.
Still, as a woman, I prefer this country to pretty much all of the rest out there and just wish we could transport our forefathers back to kick the asses of the ones currently messing with it.
What do I love about the 4th? It's a day off. And I may add a little red juice to the vodka today. xoxoxo
Ok--mail this to yore whole FB gang--wake folks up--be the local PaulRevere. Doan moan only, but git folks in gear.
Uncle wanted a Kielbasa hot dog lunch--no buns, so off the 7-11 Aunty hies, only to find cash registered manned by a Pakistani woman.
"How yooo today?"
"I am GREAT! It's the day we all recall how fortunate we are to live in this nastion."
Her eyebrows rise.
Right?
She counts mah change.
RIGHT???
Well, mam' I am from PAH keee stahn.
REALLY? YA Wanna go back?
Oh no mam. My son is finish his studies to be doctor. He is coming here. He will bring his bride. She is pharmacy.
WHY? Why do they want to come heah? Ain't life pretty good fer a doc in PAHK eeee stahn?
Well, mam, yes, but here is better.
WELL, ain't that interestin' .WHY is heah better? Ain't it funny that people criticize America but they all wanna move heah? Ever think on that? Ya know many folks who want to move to PAHK eee stahn? NO? Huh. Why is that?
Well, mam. Here is better. We are Muslims but we are modern Muslims. Here is better.
YEAH? NO KIDDIN'. Well, I have some news fer ya. Unless you modern muslims start speakin' out an' defendin' America, , yore thugs in PAHK eee stahn is comin' heah to slit yore throats. Jes' a thought fer the day.
ya' know what?
I wuz gonna let this go...but I cain't. I see what ya meant wif this video clip, but K9, Floydian philosophy is all nihilism. I knows YOU know it, but not certain most folks who read yore blog realize the thang fer what it is.
Waters may have kept a piece of his sanity, but that other fella (name starts wif' S?) lost his nut an the whole thang went weirder. Tho The WALL says true thangs, problem is the Floydians ain't familiar wif gumption, they's content to be Comfortably Numb. So these guys flop out the horror, then what? oh, nuthin' jes' let it be alright, jes' go numb.
Yeah, music to make it easy to lay down to serfdom. See--LOOK at the horror! Be afraid, be very afraid 'cause it's comin' an' ya cain't stop it, an ya may as well go wif the flow, thar' ain't nuthin' else.
I could urp.
I'se old but even as a teen I thought most music lyrics were a cop out. Whar's the Churchillian fight? ("Nothing to fear but fear itself") I could be persuaded that this stuff is part of a mind control conspiracy--feed a generation on nihilism an' they cain't even IMAGINE a reason to live?
Waters is all about resignation: Remember the WALL that Floydians wanted torn down--then all that they found behind it wuz a hopeless world not worth walling off again: "Isn't this ...where we came in."
Bottom line--when God is gone then evil seems ordinary order of thangs, an these fools submit. What a field day the devil had when these spineless wonders picked up a geetar.
Sorry, jes' had to git that off mah chest.
for CHrist sake aunty! I used the clip for the visual of the STATE hammers. its the perfect imagery. there isnt any Floydian subtext. and trust me, i am ANYTHING but comfortably numb.
I wish I was comfortably numb.
Dawg, Dawg, I KNOW. It IS the perfect--fabulous --image of the hammer-state. I jes' mean to alert folks that the Floydian message in The Wall were a cave in, supine, let-it-roll-over-me nihilism. (din't I say that in first para? I KNOW YOU know...jes' worriet about the chillen', ya know??)
ummm .. .. err ... i think i'll go get comfortably numb now ...
Happy Independence Day!
**high fives Foamy**
This video also goes well with Leonard Nimoy's version of "If I Had a Hammer".
awwww that's so cute.
But, President Obama didn't make it what it is himself.
Gotta go way (way!? ) to ex-president Nixon to scrounge up some of that police state action.
boney if you must apologize apologize to everyone in here for voting for the sham of all time. get real brutha wake up.
I would no sooner apologize for voting for Obama than I would swim in the ocean.
Have you forgotten the choice?
McCain wanted to increase the wars (both of them) and lord knows what the whore queen of the North would be doing for kicks as a VP.
Nixon started the war on the American public when he and that moron, Joseph McCarthy started rounding up everyone that wasn't a Republican, and accusing them of being communists.
Again, he opened up the war to the public when he lied about the "war on marijuana" which he KNEW better about.
He hand picked the commission that gave marijuana a clean bill of health.
Lastly, HE was the guy that opened the door to China, future marketing loans, and, essentially, one of your favorite stores (a bit of sarcasm before I name the store)
Walmart.
China mart is more like it.
And...hang on to your panties, gal.
IF more than two thirds of the troops are back from Afghanistan by next election, IF he gets back to the proposals he brought to the table before about marijuana, IF he gets those RICH bozos back to paying their just dues...
I'm voting for him, again.
Who else?
Romney and his health care?
Bachman and her biblical lead government?
Gingrich, who couldn't even be faithful to his wife in the hospital, but had the balls to call CLINTON a perv?
or Palin...her idea of dog catcher is hanging out of planes shooting animals.
How about Perry? The guy who has twice talked about seceding from the union? (some loyalty, there)
How about you apologizing for your exaggeration of the "police state"?
You've never seen one, have you?
This ain't one.
