Stop Me Before I Vote Again

Remember what the original title of my book was?

http://www.salon.com/news/feature/2008/01/11/goldberg/

"Liberal Fascism: The Totalitarian Temptation From Hegel to Whole Foods"

Indeed I do, Jonah. Good times! I supplied dozens of completely spurious cites when you blegged for assistance. Unfortunately, you missed the best and most damning indictment of all: mindless, whining complicity with the corporate millenarian agenda. As an example, anyone who clicks through to Salon is going to have to cope with a jackbooted frenzy of ads and a website groaning under the totalitarian weight of incredibly shitty coding.

to be prudent i'm putting some of my money on getting a dessert-themed ice cream and beefcake emporium -- "half food, ALL MAN" -- shadowing the whole goods chain like a bad case of herpes. proceeds will go to viagra for teabaggers.

*whole FOODS, doncha know

Al.

You're probably one of those Nazis who wants to cure cancer.

But don't get me wrong. If it weren't for the liberal blogs, nobody would have read my book at all.

Now I get to change my mind and make lots of money defending Whole Foods exactly the way Michelle Malkin (hubba hubba) defended Walmart.

You should really switch to being a conservative pundit. There's good money in it. Don't you have a marketable back story you can sell as in "I was a liberal until someone waived a Free Palestine sign at an anti-war rally"?

I mean, come on, who would you be hurting. The Republicans do far more damage to liberals than a few isolated Stalinists can ever dream of. And you'd be able to afford to actually eat at Whole Foods instead of that Ramen Noodles mixed with Mayonaise stuff you usually scarf down.

Jonah, you're a devil. I'm tempted beyond my ability to control. There's just one thing. Okay, two things. I don't have the discipline for the office hours I'd have to keep, and there's an embarrassing glut of ex-lefties choking off the market opportunities.

No, I'm not going to do it. Instead, I'm going into business with Hapa. He's got a real business model.

You're no fun Al. But maybe you're right.

Now if you were a semi-attractive light skinned black woman in her 20s, there would be big bucks in it for you as a media spokesperson for the teabagging movement.

I think DarkSyde used to be a Reagan Republican, btw. If you're a conservative who's seen the light and has decided to vote for Dems, that's instant reclist material on the Daily Kos.

As for me, you think there's any Soros money in it for me if I decide to jump ship and support Obama? Mom will be pissed but what the hell, if I'm too old to enlist, I'm old enough to tell mom to go to hell.

I originally wrote the following three summers ago, but it might still pertain:

It's a widely accepted myth with liberals that noble fighting Democrats brought about the Civil Rights Movement and equal protection under the law, when in fact the Democrats fought tooth and nail to stop the egalitarian measures for which the Far Left shed blood, sweat and tears in the Deep South. Reading the accounts from those who were there risking their lives, not grandstanding from safe enclaves in Washington, people like James Forman, Jack Minnis, John Lewis, Diane Nash, Rosa Parks, Dorie Ladner, Wally Roberts, Bob Moses, Wiley Branton, Gwen Patton, Judy Richardson, Miriam Glickman, Charlie Cobb, Staughton Lynd--these are the heroes of human rights in the US.

The fact that liberal Democrats lacked the moral fiber to stand firm against the recent conservative onslaught against these hard-won gains is no surprise; they never fought for them in the first place. Now, to demonstrate their common ground with conservatives, liberals express admiration for war-mongering racists like Richard Nixon, Billy Graham, and Teddy Roosevelt, and somehow think this also proves how tough they are. Some have gone so far as to absurdly suggest the New Deal might serve as as a bridge of diplomacy to the right wing.

What they describe is a demonstration of weakness, not strength. Lining themselves up with warmongers who've betrayed the Constitution time and again--people like Murtha and Obama--defines them as conservative, or neo-liberal, which is pretty much the same thing now days. What they advocate is a surrender of values while maintaining the public relations strategy of the Democratic Party, and diplomacy with fascism rather than the courage to fight it. In other words, more of the same.

This discussion from August 2006 on Liberalism might still be of interest:

Whole Foods?! Yikes.

Somebody get IOZ on the phone!

Still pertain? That's a direct bullseye dead-center hit, Jay! The pwogs historical revisionism make holocaust deniers look like Shelby Freakin' Foote by comparison. I swear, if I read one more self-important civics 101 valedictorian whine about how no historical change ever happens outside the fucking democrat party, I'm going to hunt them down and ram Zinn's People's History of the United States down their fucking throats.

But in a good way, of course.
