2012 Can Go Fuck Itself

2012 was a fucked up year.
We witnessed the most brain dead presidential campaign ever. The Republican primary was a clown show of idiocy that was of jaw dropping magnitude. The winner of that goat fucking was Mitt Romney. A Thurston Howell clone, he managed to put a face on how out of touch the uber rich are with normal people.
A child molester managed to forever tarnish a great college football legacy and coach at Penn State.
A horrible super storm named Sandy devastated the east coast.
We found out that the Mayans can't predict the end of the world any better than the fucking Christians can.
Evidently, Lance Armstrong turned out to be a goddam doping cheater after all.
Despite America putting a self contained robotic mobile laboratory on Mars utilizing a never before seen rocket powered hover crane on its last leg of the interplanetary journey, our country is still riddled with anti science imbeciles. Many of which sit in congress. And on the science and technology committee no less.
There was a horrible shooting at an elementary school. A tragedy which sent gun sales and stocks soaring.
Before that, we had an idiot seeking his 15 minutes by shooting a bunch of people at a goddam premier of a fucking Batman movie.
Before that, a kid was killed by a self appointed neighborhood watch commander.
Yeah. 2012 was a fucked up year. Even the good stuff got overshadowed.
Fuck you 2012. Rot in Hell, you bitch.

Worst Apocalypse Ever

Well, another apocalypse has came and gone and the earth is still here.

The NRA is still here too. That asshole with the French name came out a few minutes ago and called for a cop at every school.

I guess we need that because we don't want our children living in a police state.

Bill O'Reilly can still hype up the War on Christmas. Happy Holidays, Bitch!

Boehner's "Plan B" is a failure. Maybe Plan C was the apocalypyse. If so, that failed too.

The so called fiscal cliff is still a reality. Fuck it. Leap off that mother fucker.

It is still seven goddam months until Breaking Bad comes back on. How many fucking raptures and shit between now and then?

Quentin Tarantino's movie "Django Unchained" starts on Christmas Day. I can't think of a better way to spend my money.

Obama is still the president, and while I think he is a marginally good president at best, he is light years ahead of what our alternative was. Plus the Republican tears are soooo fucking sweet.

The KKK is still here and are protesting the Westbourgho Baptist assholes. Dunno which side I should root for. Is it wrong to want both of them to be hit by a big fucking bus simultaneously?

Just some observations.

GOP: Close The Door On The Way Out

I remember this time four years ago, I thought that there could not be a more lopsided presidential race.
After all, Grandpa McCain had just picked an unvetted former swimsuit model to be his running mate, on top of coming off of the worse White House administration in the countries history.
The GOP was in a death spiral.
Then two years later, the fringe lunatics of the party managed to seize power in the mid terms, exploiting the fears of racists and imbeciles that the evil black man was going to take their guns from them and force them to marry a queer.
With that bunch or morons calling the shots, the GOP ran one helluva wacky ass clown car of a primary finally having to settle on a Massachusetts liberal they hated almost as much as they hated Obama. 
This lopsidedness makes 08 laughable.
Basically all Obama has to do now is just sit back and watch the implosion.
And that is what is happening with the GOP. Imploding. Ever seen a movie with a submarine having a hull breach? The vessel crumples in on itself.
That is what the Romney campaign looks like. It is not a slow motion train wreck as depicted by so many. It is a massive turd that has collapsed from its own weight and is now drying in the sun. A smudge of shit that is so massive, that people can not help but point and laugh while simultaneously being shocked and disgusted.
Sad really. While I was intending to give my vote to Obama, I was hoping that he would have to fight for it. Or at least act like he had to break a sweat to get it.
There is stuff to be critical of Obama and his first term. Unfortunately, he doesn't have to address that now. 
The GOP couldn't or wouldn't focus on an honest debate. Instead they elevated idiocy like the Birthers and tin foil hat wearing nutjobs to a national level and ran with that.
That was the only way they saw to be able to keep from having to pay their fair share of taxes.
Republican Party... It has been a hoot, but you won't be missed. Well, maybe a little... Like a toothache.

The Fallacy of the False Equivalency

Distinctions drawn by the mind are not necessarily equivalent to distinctions in reality. Thomas Aquinas

You hear it all the time: "There is no difference between the parties". "Both parties are crooked". Blah, blah, fucking blah.
This mentality isn't something that accidentally came into being. No fucking way. It is a planned strategy by the Republican Party to create voter apathy and to either reduce voter turnout or send otherwise Democratic voting citizens to a third party.
I find it extremely disturbing that otherwise intelligent individuals are spouting this horseshit.
Take the whole Ron Paul thing for example. Here is a person who is running for president on the Republican ticket and has about a much chance of winning as I do.
Paul has managed to capture the attention of many people by promising to end the Forever Wars, legalizing pot, eliminating the Fed, (or anything federal other than the Pentagon) and hosts of other libertarian issues, some as looney as a Warner Bros. cartoon, some valid.
I know some very intelligent and progressive people who voted for Obama and are now upset because they didn't get a pony or something and now are going to throw their vote away by writing in for Ron Paul because in their minds, Obama is no different than Romney.
Don't get me wrong, President Obama has disappointed me greatly on many things, but to jump to the conclusion that he is do different than Romney is absurd beyond words.
While Obama has been less than satisfactory on labor issues, Romney has made it abundantly clear that he hates unions, enjoys firing people, and believes that corporations are people. Can you seriously say this is no different than Obama?
Romney has made his wealth (other than what he was born into) by taking over American manufacturing plants, closing them down and moving the work to China.
He would be an terrifying disaster to the working class of America. Maybe even on par with the Bastard Regan and the Idiot Bush. Maybe even worse.
Think of the Supreme Court justices this man would nominate. Do you honestly think that their would be no differences between those nominees?
During the 2000 campaign, Karl Rove pushed the "no difference" bullshit.
Look what happened. A significant portion of the American people actually didn't think their was any difference between the most liberal D.C. politician in years and a Texas fucktard that was so conservative, he made Regan look leftist.
How did that turn out for us?
Stop this false equivalency bullshit.
It is easy to call them on it. Very easy.
When they start their "I'm voting for Ron Paul, because their is no difference in the partys anymore" nonsense, ask them if so, why is Ron Paul a fucking Republican then?
Hell, at least when that shit was being pulled in 2000, Ralph Nader was a member of the Green Party.
Ask them, how come this shit ALWAYS favors the Republicans? All things being equal, the Democrats should get a bone occasionally, don't you think?
Lets face the fucking facts;
In January of 2013, it will either be Mitt Romney or Barrak Obama being sworn in as president. No Ron Pauls, no Ralph Naders, no magical unicorns. Get over your hurt feelings and vote to keep the corporate bastards out, or at least put the brakes on them.
Obama may not have given you your pony, but that is nothing compared to the horse dick size fucking your ass will get if Magic Underpants gets the job.
Think about it.
