More on Lang. And Booman Tribune. And liberals, too.

So. I wrote this diary here.

An Open Letter to Col. Patrick Lang

Essentially about the basic strategic fault in the economic policies of the developed nations regarding the third world and how these ill considered policies were apparently about to blow the lid off of France if applied there yet again.

And another. About jazz.

ALL that “jazz”. An open letter to Knoxville Progressive. And to the rest of you, too.”

One made it to the rec list and got a bunch of comments. The other sank like a stone.

Except for ONE comment from someone who agreed with me.

(Guess which diary tanked?)

And I wrote a comment on it that asked why “liberals” were happy to talk their asses off about CDs and but didn’t want to deal with the root causes of WHY “jazz” has been so covered up in this society.

At which point someone named Alice commented: “Settle down Arthur. Timing is everything, you posted at noon on Sunday.  That means nobody is going to respond.  Keep an eye on your audience.  Calling people liberals as an insult isn’t that endearing.  However, I am always glad to see your stuff, and don’t always have something to say publicly.”

So I wrote an answer to her comment.

And, having been brought to task by Susanhu twice recently for “rudely” writing long comments…I now present that comment (Which grew like Topsy, maximalist that I am.)…here as a diary instead of on that thread as a comment.

Read on…

Re: “Settle down Arthur.”

I do not mean to be endearing here.

“Liberals” have nominated a string of totally ineffective people to run for the office of President of the United States EVERY TIME EXCEPT TWO since they ran JFK.

That’s over forty years.

Humphrey.

Dukakis.

Small K kerry.

“I invented the internet” Gore.

Nice.

Only a little over 8 years ago they allowed Joe Lieberman…as sad a sack of left wing political shit as ever compromised a principle…to run for Vice President.

Noon on Sunday? What are they doing? Eating brunch and perusing the Washingtoon Post and the Sunday New York Times? All The News That’s Fit to Be Spun? Watching a bunch of middle aged liars harrumph their way through their Sunday “News” shows? Getting ready to pig out on a bit of the old ultra-violence as they watch steroid induced masses of muscle try to rip each other’s heads off in a sports wargame that is not even a picture of how to WIN a contemporary war? (See the popular series “Shock and Awe In The Middle East” for more on THAT.)

Please.

I AM keeping an eye on my audience.

It is not an endearing sight, these days.

So I am offering some shock and awe myself.

We need to wake the fuck UP, Alice.

Sure, many of the corporate interests that have supported BushCo have turned now. Finally.

Dumb as a stick, they can’t even make a decent automobile. But they HAVE figured out that this gang of criminals is doing a bad job on their behalf. So they are withdrawing their support and siccing their media dogs on ’em.

Preparatory to putting in a NEW bunch that will continue the old policies, the old strategies, with new tactics. Try to find a NEW way to continue to keep ripping the majority of the people on this planet off.

And the “liberals”…they sit there over their Sunday omelettes in their Sunday middle class homes and pat themselves on the back for having finally made a dent in BushCo’s almost unblemished record of successful deceit, murder and theft.

Right.

And on a “liberal” blog I find frontpaged an article by an ADMITTED high level, old line military spook who is advocating having the French run the same tired old “Get a haircut or I’ll SHOOT your worthless brown ass” game yet again.  

And ‘scuse me while I kiss the sky.

‘Scuse me while I do NOT kiss this guy. OR his ass.

 And ‘scuse me while I point this out.

Anybody here know what “Humint” IS? Human Intelligence. That’s establishment spook-speak for spies. Anybody care to guess WHICH spies this fella supervised? This “first Professor of the Arabic Language at the United States Military Academy at West Point?”

Please.

This guy is about as “liberal” as  John Foster Dulles and his brother Allen.

So I wrote what I wrote.

And very few people read it or at least cared to recommend or comment upon it.

So it goes.

In Liberal Land.

So it goes.
