For the 200th post: A macabre cri de coeur.

x x x

IN Olbermann fashion, those who are not brainwashed (most of us, I hope) should call for the eradication of the bulk of Fox's on-air staff. There's nothing to get the loonies to get loonier than a black President, it seems. Oh, and social reforms that are for the people and less worried about turning profits for conglomerate. The tragedy occurs when the populist are tricked into faux populist banter by the GOP. Outside looking in; one can see their policies would not work for the populist. Yet, they remain strong. They are loyal to ignorance. The true crime, however, is with those who are informed but still relay half-truths, fears and phony "facts." It's healthy to have multiple parties in a government. It's actually a shame we only have two major parties. So, exterminating the Republicans would be fun but not politically useful. Truth remains, those who bear knowledge should use it for the betterment of whatever they want to better. It's a kin to having lots of money for its own sake. Both are bane, vain and immoral. The likes of O'Reilley and Beck manipulate knowledge for ratings, politics or just fun at the expense of the uninformed, fact-challenged, or plain dumbos. The easy counter being the left those the same thing. Sure, we strongly advocate our ideas. But, the nature of the left, progress, does not call on fear and lies. Usually the left tries to get on with new social trends. Whereas, conserving naturally leads to trying to hold back the reins of society in fear it steers out of order. At times, society pulls harder than conservatives can hold. Then, enter bat-shit crazy remarks.
The give-and-take, cyclical nature of our two-party system has its advantages. It just seems those holding back are at times doing so because they think they must. It's just what they are supposed to do. No matter if it's for a human right such as healthcare. Which in turn makes them ideologues. Political enslavement for those unfortunates that cannot think beyond what they hear at 5-10 p.m. on the news.
