Lady Liberty, symbol of a once-great nation, hikes up her robe, bends over, and shits a vile stream of excrement into the mud-brown New York Harbor. Once-free people have been incrementally stripped of freedom and turned into complacent sheep by Mega-Million Dollar Corporations and Big Government Totalitarians. NSA Big Brothers monitor phone calls as IRS Gestapo agents (soon to be increased by 18,000 thugs in the name of “health care”) intimidate those who dare question authority. The “News” is reported by obedient lap dogs who make excuses with child-like loyalty to Big Government Bureaucrats who wield power with money they print like junk mail flyers . Meanwhile the bloated elephant in the room, soaring to twenty trillion dollars, is artfully hidden in plain sight.
Bailed-out Wall Street Bankers and slick Politicians embrace like giggling schoolgirls while the legs are knocked out from under the dwindling middle class, as they are of no use to the Collectivist Oligarchy. Fat Cat Bankers slap each others backs, wipe Obama's lip gloss off their dicks and go out for another round of golf, while the working man's house is foreclosed upon. The ever-growing number (nearly 50%) of dependent-class useful idiots are warehoused in trailer parks and government tenements, placated with food stamps, and coaxed out at election time to insure the status quo.
Politicians exploit isolated acts of evil scumbags and tell us they need to remove law-abiding citizen’s means of defense, “for our own good,” because, like Hitler, they know it’s hard to load people into box cars when they’re armed with AR-15’s.
Independence Day 1776 wasn’t about drunks with sparklers and diabetic slobs stuffing their faces with hot dogs on Coney Island. It was about revolution, ridding the land of power hungry, meglomaniacal tyrants.
I’m among those who will keep my weapons. The Fascists may kill us, but at least they won’t be loading us into boxcars!
"Is life so dear or peace so sweet, as to be purchased by the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it Almighty God! I know not what course others may take, but as for me, give me Liberty or give me death!"
Patrick Henry 1776
Fucking wow my man, you deserve a greater audience, every day of the year, huge respect Herm, Happy Apathy Day, viva la revolucion !!!
ReplyDeleteThanks Whitey. At least now I'll be on the NSA watch list, so in a way that's a bigger audience.
DeleteAnd yes, you bring up an excellent point which I failed to mention. We've become too fat, dumb and happy. Apathy is the root cause of our problems as we've (America) created an unsustainable mess. If left unchanged, economic calamity seems a certainty.
DeleteIt's a western malaise man, we got it here too, something's gotta give and when it does it won't be purdy. Now bugger off and enjoy a contemplative bevvy !!
DeleteMan Hermit, why did you have to go and make me think? To paraphrase one of your previous works I just wanted to ape.d the day "watching the home town parade and ejaculating softly into a hot dog wrapper." Well, the lady version of that anyways. Happy fourth.
ReplyDeleteape.d = spend
Delete"I wonder who they are? The men who really run this land...." , to quote a song from our youth...
ReplyDeleteYep Larry, we're all just pawns in a twisted game of chess. Or, maybe Parcheesi, or maybe a twisted game of Twister?
ReplyDeleteSorry Laura for the rant. I might see if I can dig up the post you're referring to, post it, and lighten things up on this Patriotic Holiday.
Oh, and the "lady version" involves the hot dog itself. So, I'm told.
Nope, couldn't find it. Another one titled, "Fourth of July" was more depressing than this one.
DeleteI need counseling.
Or whiskey.
Check your other patriotic holiday gems, any day that would warrent a home town parade. And as I recall it was pretty depressing as well, but that line made me laugh. Anyway, I recommend hanging out with people you sorta tolerate today. As a fellow hermit, I can attest to its therapeutic value. Have I ever steered you wrong before? For that matter, have I ever given you unsolicited advice before?
DeleteHermit, that was wonderful! Spot on, broheim.
ReplyDeleteWow Wheezer, great to hear from HCwDB's resident savant!
DeleteReverend Chad says Hello and good work. I'd love a mouthful of bare teen poon about now spread bald eagle in front of me with a tiny Stars and Stripes neatly tucked between her perfect brownish pink bonestar pucker. and shit. son.
ReplyDeleteGood to hear from you Rev. I don't check in with you'all as much as I should, but I'm always glad to see you're still drunk, stoned and out of your mind hilarious.
DeleteGive Lenny the Box (respect) my regards, and I'll burn a spleef in your honour. (Canadian Respect)
woah..... even though I have not had many problems, this is not true for my once prosperous area. most of my neighbors have took a early retirement and abandon their homes in the city to move to their vacation homes leaving my property value so low that I am stuck here without the ability to expand. In the mean time I am getting surrounded by rude non ambitious losers that prefer to cheat and steel rather than work hard to solve their problems. Its giving me all the more reason to keep my guns loaded and at arms length.
ReplyDeleteYep Ry, Detroit was hard hit. A lot of people have left the work force and given up. Thirty year olds have moved back in with their parents. Some call it "The New Normal," and that's a damn shame.
