Armageddon is Nigh: VP Cited by Sadly, No!

Sadly, No! cites VodkaPundit Steven Green re Huckabee and Iowans, It is a magnificent rant, if damn near a decade belated.

It seems the VodkaPundit has discovered why us "Godless Liberals^TM*" have dismissed the center of these Disunited States as "flyover country," or less politely, Dumbfuckistan.

It's not because of what party they support, VP. It's why they support it!

They are stupid dumb fucks from Dumbfuckistan and they vote as stupidly as the damn fool churches they belong to.

WHAT PART OF "SIBERIAN PEASANT" DO YOU NOT GRASP, VP?

I know you have read all that cold war history stuff, and I bet you have read "The Gulag Archipelago" and all kinds of anti-commie-pinko stuff. So I know you know the concept. So when you ask "what the fuck is wrong with you people," well, if you would just think on it, you would realize you already know. It's just that before, the stupidity worked in favor of furthering YOUR interests, so you pretend that people this stupid don't exist.

Dear Iowa Republicans,

I’ll put this in language even your tiny little Iowa brains can understand: What the f*** is wrong with you people?

The news coming out of Des Moines (literally, French for “tell me about the rabbits, George”) tonight is distressing in the extreme. 32 years ago, your Democratic brethren took one look at Jimmy Carter — the worst 20th Century President bar Nixon, and the worst ex-President ever — and declared, “That’s our man!”

Three decades later, and along comes Mike Huckabee. Same moral pretentiousness, same gullibility on foreign affairs, only-slightly-less toothy idiot’s grin. Then you so-called Republicans took a look at Carter’s clone and said, “That’s our man, too!”

And by a pretty wide margin. […]

Mike Huckabee? Really? We’ve seen this game before, and its name is… every other single stupid, un-winnable candidate you’ve ever picked — which is most of them.

So I repeat the question: What is wrong with you people?

All my love, you corn-sucking idiots,

VodkaPundit

Hell, they grow corn for ethanol, because of government handouts, when they could sew switchgrass and do not a damn thing nor spend a cent for 11 months of the year, and then take advantage of a free DEA ethanol license to ferment and distill it into fuel. Or they could figure out how to ferment the agri-waste instead of the actual corn. It's not like you have to drink the stuff - and making corn into ethanol is a waste of good corn liquor, as well as being a net energy loss.

But never mind, welfare pays the difference.

Never mind that they think they are different than people in inner cities getting "crop support" for children of suspiciously dark colors. (They grow WHITE corn in Iowa!) Somehow, the crop of actual people is less worthy of government price supports and subsidies than surplus corn.

There ain't no hate like the hate of a really stupid WHITE "welfare queen" for an actually deserving inner city welfare recipient of nonspecific color - assumed, of course, to be "black" in every sense of the word.

*"Liberal" in this instance is anyone for whom reality trumps Rovian talking points and the common "wisdom" about coastal values spread by Ann Coulter, Bill O'Rielly and Rush Limbaugh. Or in other words, "liberal" in this sense includes Barry Goldwater and Adam Smith.

Or in other words, a "Liberal" is anyone who is both too intelligent and not cynical enough to blow smoke up the asses of the corn-fed idjuts of Dumbfuckistan.

In that sense, and ONLY in that sense am I Liberal, much LESS "progressive." What I AM is a centrist, politically, with a strong bias toward anti-authoritarianism.

This is not due to disrespect for worthy Authorities. On the contrary.

It's due to an understanding of how difficult it is to be Knowledgeable, wise, authoritative and worth following that I feel it proper to discourage people from delegating their personal authority and power to those who neither deserve it and are clearly both unqualified and uninterested in the hard work of exercising power in the interests of "the little people."

I'm neither left, nor right. I'm a cynical, distrustful individualist who, having been exposed to competent governance, knows the depths of uselessness our own government sinks to.

I am, in other words, a Libertarian and further, a person that realizes that all good things, all things of worth, all good things that occur are as a result of the efforts of individuals working in concert or alone, and governments, marketplaces, roads, churches and corporations are all means to those ends, contrivances for leveraging the efforts of individuals. As such, it is the individual who concerns me, not any sort of fictional "corporate entity."

A Pox Upon Both Your Houses.

N. Eric Phillips Online » Value Voters - An Unconstitutional Debate:

"We have this document that defines the shape of our nation. You might have heard of it. It is called the Constitution. It is considered one of the great documents in human freedom ever, along with the Magna Carta. It was radical in its time. In a world ruled by monarchs, where people were either born as a have or have not (and the chance to move up was almost nil), and where religion was commonly dictated by governments, here comes a document guaranteeing everyone has the right to speak his mind, seek his fortune and worship (or not) in whatever kind of church he chooses."

Or in other words, if you don't believe in gay sex, don't have sex with gays. If you don't believe in gay marriage, don't marry a gay person. If you don't believe in sex before marriage, don't have it. If you don't believe in birth control, don't use it. If you don't believe in evolution - well, I can't help you there.

But there's no constitutional requirement than any belief you hold dearly has to make sense. But there IS a lot in there intended to keep busybodies from imposing their fondly held ideals upon others by force supplied by the State.

I make no distinction between the self-righteous Liberal and the self righteous Conservative. I care not whether your "thing" is gay marriage or smoking, your cause PITA or AFF. To the extent that you are willing to coerce me in order to achieve a "moral good," to that extent you are willing to sodomize the constitution to get your way. And I will have none of it. A pox upon both your houses.
