Proof of Reincarnation: Michele "One L" Bachmann

Greetings, Dear Reader. As you probably have heard, Joseph McCarthy is back from the dead. And he's taken a hint from his good friend, J. Edgar Hoover: life is better as a woman. Shit, if I knew that drag was going to be "in" this election season, I would have bought more skirts. That's right folks, Michele Bachmann has declared that McCarthyism is back in vogue. All jokes aside, this can only go to show how desperate things are getting for the Elephants. I only hope America doesn't buy this crock of shit. People dislike politics because they claim that there is no difference between either side. To these people I would like to say one thing: WAKE THE FUCK UP. WAKE THE FUCK UP. WAKE THE FUCK UP. I am a new born when it comes to American politics, but considering the amount of shit being thrown at Obama, I realize that this is far more serious than just another presidential election. The McCain campaign has certainly take the gloves off; but they have shown a touch opposite of the Midas touch. I think I will call it the "Palin Touch." The Palin Touch has forced the Repubs campaign to turn to the dirtiest, sleaziest tactics. Even Lee Atwater threw up in his mouth when he saw "One L" on Hardball. I hope that you, Dear Reader, realize how important this election is, if anything, by looking at the "Palin Touch." This infamous tactic uses fear-mongering and bald-face lying as its main principles. While most of America is worried about their 401k, a real war rages between weltanschauungen. The world views in the squared circle are that of relativism, Leo Strauss, and "War is Peace" and of Truth, Justice, and dignity. How can anyone who makes such claims as Michele Blechmann sleep at night? To say that an eight year old was a friend of the Weathermen is a lie. What was Obama doing? Riding his bike around after these guys? After he flew by himself, without his mother's knowledge, from Indonesia? The efforts to create a relationship between Barack Obama and William Ayers through syntax is god damn fucking ridiculous. Just because you put the two names next to each other in a sentence doesn't mean that such a relationship exists. This is the sort of relativism I am talking about. And this is the relativism that the McCainiacs cleave to so strongly: that because there is no absolute truth to anything in the world, Science, Religion, Language, one can assert whatever one desires on the weakest of evidence and no one can argue against this assertion because all assertions are equal. Earth to Bachmann et alii: reality does not work that way. One cannot simply look at a hole in the ground and say, "That hole does not exist because at its edge, one can look on a level more microscopic than the last and see that there is no empty space between the air and the soil." To that man I say, "Either pass me the doobie or try walking over that hole, friend." One cannot mold reality to one's own desired shape. It seems to me a very childish tendency to refuse to accept the world as is and attempt to force it to be something else. The Greeks figured this out a long time ago: nothing begets nothing and something can only arise from something else. This is the death knell of the Bush Republicans. 2006 told us that America was awakening from its blood drunk slumber. 2008 will tell us that the beast is dead.
