vital centerism

By Owen Paine on Saturday April 14, 2012 04:32 PM

i drop this in because no one takes the bait if i put such larkdom merely in a few comment cages....not that posts are more then "better at the margin"
ie they every so often tick off the right posse of righteous high conviction vipers

so here is the thesis up here in the big time


vital centerism is a greater evil then lesser evilism

why i bet nation wide
a single" airtime" hour barely passes in one hundred
without some worship of the common vital sensible center of american politics

its as if a veritable atlantis of seet reason and cool self command lay submerged between the ghouishers of our GOP and the herd of loco weed eating jack asses of the Democracy

Barry is perhaps the fatal fool de jour of self righteous pilgrims
headed toward the Great Center

its as if the far flanks
rather then essays
in bright new americas or venerable old ones
were simply
a means toward falling off one edge or other of a flat earth

"vital centerism is a greater evil then lesser evilism"

May I put in a vote for "professional progressivism" gatekeepers?

Their job is to mingle among the lefties, separating the sheep from the goats, all the better to eat lamb and 'scape goats with, my dear.

Op:

That is a prime function of each main party
To act as filter and co opted of flank actives
GOP right flank demos left flank

So I couldn't agree more sandy

OWS is very aware of this function

The dembo operatives
like HDW's Martian machines
trudge thru the radical Habitat
zapping and co opting

"vital centerism is a greater evil then lesser evilism"

Two sides of the same worthless plug nickle. Each demands the existence of the other.

Yeah, I know... quoting the bible of all things.

MJS:

The verse in question has been cited here before, DP:

Sadly, the saying is widely applicable MJS, and quite appropriate in the post you linked.

I think the main function of the political parties is to provide soap opera entertainment to would-be sports fans who don't like sports very much.

Here is American political calculation in a nutshell: "Hmm, lemme see, who's in trouble today - is it Team Coke or is it Team Pepsi? It looks like Team Pepsi. I think I'll cheer for Team Coke because they have nicer-looking players."

The guys who run the whole show must be laughing their asses off at us.

Pied
Circus is part of the play's motivation
Distraction diversion and lots of other D's follow on a well produced circus maxims operation

But we might consider the product of this repeated exposure to circus fare

The minds of the spectators though inherently complexly contradictory
Can be shaped dynamic limitations to that shaping not withstanding

I'm a political economist and after 40 years of it
I still find unexamined bourgeois crochets everywhere in my hea

Our minds despite our innate freely operating brains
are social constructs
Profound ubiquitous meme depravities are the necessary product
of existing ab ovo inside one or other class cloven society

Op:

The guys running the show are often as unaware of their ultimate function
As the bulk of the spectators

But ahhh comes a time when
Suddenly scales fall

What was once opaque becomes brilliantly translucent
And
As Vlad the impaler suggests

Sometimes it's
Everywhere and on a mass scale

Op:

Drunk

The two parties fit that plug nickel line

Heads or tails

Btw it's not coke and pepsi as two cola products
it's more like
Two whole competing line ups of drink products


pepsi Co and coke Co

They can even go cola versus uncola

Soft drink versus water
Etc etc

Choice within no choice
Since each has a guiding bottom line in the same ultimate currency

Op:

Juan that mask and I
Suffer from a generation gap

Btw there are all too few generation gaps
In the amoeboid minds of most of us
Woodstockers

Its far better when generations clash
The combination of dissolving and hardening effects
leads to major shifts in the cultural terrain

Of course it produces a generation of self loving swine
on the younger side of the divide
We Aquarians
are undoubtly and intrinsically
the worse generation in the last 10 or so

That is a great self sacrifice for progress I suppose
Couldn't happen to a better set of cohorts

jjuan:

gap generation still remember these guys
