Red V. Blue

Even discussing these issues we hold so dear with those people would compromise our own sacred beliefs – Red V. Blue

Why should we have to pay for your fast food and candy addiction, aggravated by terminal couchitis

Why should we listen to your lame exercise crap when we worked all day & there’s a good game on

Why should we pick up your litter since that just tells you it’s OK to toss more junk out your windows

Why should we try to read all the tiny print, big-word food ingredients we don’t understand anyway

Why should we fret over climate change when the CO₂ oligarchies assure us it’s all part of God’s plan

Why should we buy your overpriced, elitist organics when factory snack foods are so tasty & so cheap

Why should we have to listen to your fat slob pickups & pathetically-lame Harleys 24x7x365

Why should we worry about clean water since we guzzle all ours from bottles that we quickly toss out

Why should we vote against the 1%ers who call us moochers & just offshore us for more fat bonuses

Why should we believe in security since today it only means more surveillance with greater secrecy

Why should we mess around with that useless recycling just because you nannies think it’s so great

Why should we allow more mass shootings & let Fox & the NRA further stir your infantile paranoia

Why should we eat that disgusting kale when doublemeat-bacon cheeseburgers taste so damn good

Why should we subsidize your wanton obesity and scornful disdain for any non-gas powered activity

Why should we waste our money on that clean energy fraud just because it makes you feel less guilty

Why should we respect your spoonfed opinions - Fed to you as catchy soundbites by paid spin doctors

Why should we bother reading when that liberal media is all just big lies, junk science & bad math

Why should we try to get the lead & mercury out of your kid’s brains since you obviously don’t care

Why should we stress over your increasing ignorance - After all, it makes you even easier to control

Why should we give a damn about whatever keystoned species so long as football is on 80 hrs a week

Why should we hypermile in our hybrids as you pretend it’s NASCAR in your clumsy, bellowing pickups

Why should we turn in assault rifles so you can give over our precious national sovereignty to that UN

Why should we respect your implanted view that the market will bring healthcare to the sick or poor

Why should we pay our water bills, even though you do, since clean water is a universal human right

Why should we accept your judgments regarding fuzzy math when you can’t even count out change

Why should we be denied ATV access to our federal lands just because we don’t want to stupid hike

Why should we clean up after your beloved frackers who profitably export our Energy Independence

Why should we ever dialog with those who condone that sinful murdering of babies called abortion

Why should we not smoke bud after witnessing millennia of your alcohol-induced violence & stupidity

Why should we forsake our secure black & white faith for your fool & frightening rational uncertainty

Why should we support you when your own initiatives always boil down to just loudly shouting ‘NO!’

Why should we permit the government to over-regulate us on down into that old-Europe style decay

Why should we all have to bray in unison to support increases to an already-bloated dEfense budget

Why should we lower our divine moral standards by compromising with you godless NewAge heathens

Devolution

- Descent or degeneration to a lower or worse state

Today there’s something to those pictures that makes me already look old & faded, even way back then

Always keeping so very busy engendered in me a background sense of comforting permanency

I ran the suburbs like a vast personal savanna and then crouched in front of TV like some smoky fire

Striped cat purred on top that old wool blanket on my tired lap during a tiny fractal eddy of forever

In the morning the world seemed born again until I rejoined the angry herd, in the smog, once again

The dew, though tainted with our mistakes, still made things look very fresh and wondrously clean

My takeout beliefs had grown cold and stale just when I needed their nourishment the most

I was unconsciously framing an apology even as I lashed out in blind rage for the 9 millionth time

Swirling into a hungover consciousness, I vowed one more time that it would never happen again

I grew confused as to what year we went where on which, long-anticipated 3 day holiday weekend

I kissed her again for the first time on that golden October afternoon, knowing she was gone forever

Given our circumstances, I found my almost daily depression normal, and my rare happiness a mystery

It wasn’t until long afterward that I realized how late it had already grown, even so long ago

Slowly I convinced myself I had lost my way, though really I never had a clue as to where I was headed

As my youthful anger slowly aged to a foolish bitterness, I still hoped to distill a few drops of wisdom

Even as we made our eternal vows we both knew that simple time alone would unthinkingly undo them

My seeming hardened indifference sprang simply from my being overwhelmed by insoluble issues

My safe habits had worn a familiar groove in a very small part of an infinity of frightening possibilities

I studied myself as I slowly devolved back into that dimensionless point from which I had no memories

I saw the four short seasons of my life morphing to an endless and dreamless, dark winter’s night sleep

Free Range Apartment Cowboy

Aint nobody ever gonna tie me down cuz I got my pickup parked facin out, right in fronta the buildin

These here rundown aparmints are jest temporary til we save up enough fer a few acres of our own

I’m might git me a horse and the little lady wants a cupla chickens and the kids & dogs’ll love it, too

Yup, I cun see rite past the dirt, litter & dead cars of today to our beutifuel future, out on the range

We’ll be getting away from that dam overregelatin landlord always whining if the rents a little late

I’m following my dreams jest like my downhome country music heroes & that’s what really matters

Ya see, at night, when I git back home with a 6-pack, I know that everthing’s gonna be jest all right -

Unless them hindis next door start stinkin up the place with they whatever oriental tofu vegan shift

I grew up in a mobile outsidea town with dreams of ridin free range just like all them TV cowboys

Learned ta be the man I am fightin & drinkin & dinit waste no time on dum shit like readin or joggin

At last I learned the truth about that libral media conspirucy thanks ta the good folks over ta the Fox

Realized that pergressives are wantin to give over alla are precious freedoms ta that godless UN

Don’t need that dam obamacare cuz we aready got a good free family doc right down ta the local ER

Yeah, that’s our old couch out there with the resta the trash by the dumpster…piecea junk

Yella traiters are taking away our godgiven right ta bear arms by makin ammo near impossible ta get

And the dam vaccinaters keep buggin our kids at school ta have em get shot up with they poisons

Well, between this rifle & that pickupa mine settin outside, I monna take carea my family

Not embarassed ta use them SNAP cards fer food cuz it’s them dam socialists fault things are so bad

I’m hopin ta take the whole family down ta disneyworld fer a real dream vacation, perty soon now

And I’ll tell you what, we got us a bigscreen and I don’t never miss nonea my Big Games

I rilly don’t get why the socialists aint down with just bombin the sh*t outta that stinkin middle east

Guess theys jest too busy chewin that overpriced organic, wimp rabbit crap ta figure stuff out right

Like them nannies gotta some right ta get all up in our faces with they Poison Fastfood BS, anyway

But, I can ferget all about that BS when I’m blastin a new trail way up high on toppa my camod ATV

Dont take no genyus ta see that jest followin the holy bible & our sacred constitution wud fix stuff up

But no, they gotta invent schemes like that bogus climate change scam ta steal our precious sovernty

They jest don’t get how their over-regelatin only costs us good folks way too much in jobs & money

http://fantasticblur-taotekaching.blogspot.com/2014/01/filter-those-bits.htmlAnd ther bringin them illegals in ta take our promised good jobsa tamara they offshored us ta create

Then there’s this bullcrap about exercisin – now if that aint nona they business I got no idea what is

And freakin whining at me about my BigGulp MtnDews like they was my 2^nd grade teacher or somethin

Tryin ta take away the kids Coco Puffs, Frosted Flakes & PopTarts - I jest caint believe this crap

Yud think good old Oscar Mayer was some kinda islamuc terrerist the way they carry on about balony

They say my truck’s too loud and they caint stand how I chipped her ta cover em with diesel smoke

Well, I’m hear ta tell ya we done had enough of they fuzzy math, bad science & one world agendar!

Cuz all were tryin ta do is ta carry on by our God-Given & Fox-Enhanced Traditional Family Values

Just Outside Our Pre-Programmed Maya

Maya – fr. Sanskrit, The illusory reality of the material world

Dirty rain can’t penetrate the pavement, so it quickly washes our wastes straight down to the rivers

Our billion tiny non-point sources are an uncontrolled runoff into their unsafe drinking water intakes

The magnitude of the devastation would simply overwhelm our minds, so we just smile and carry on

We are as hungry dreaming automatons meeting our simple swarm needs in strictly programmed ways

The vast fecal output of the mega-chicken farms leaches off & turns the bays & water supplies green

Every single home drips a thousand different chemicals, each and every time it rains

The innocent pigs imprisoned by the thousands stamp their contaminated waste into the groundwater

Model families spray poison on their flowers and over-apply everything to their artificial bluegrass

Abandoned sites still filter PCBs into streams and bays as well as into the flesh of nearby inhabitants

But, we are assured, this poison uptake issue cannot cross the species line separating us from animals

A dead space the size of Massachusetts is excreted from the Mississippi’s anus we call New Orleans

We tack up flimsy cellophane protective barriers around the new chancres of our ongoing progress

We roar across the shrunken Western reservoirs drunkenly shouting above our 500 horsepower din

Meanwhile, hot desert winds harshly evaporate the precious water at an astoundingly rapid pace

And yet, every single drop is spoken for, spoken for several times, in over-allocated state compacts

So, we clean out their upstream poopie but still drink of their vast array of chemicals and hormones

Turns out it’s far more cost effective to just warn of poisoned waters than to actually clean them up

Your kids should never swim with the remaining fish which we have tainted too badly for us to eat

But it’s OK, my precious children, you can always drink bottled New Jersey water & toss the plastic

And you won’t have to fret, cause you never saw, or even knew about, anything that was any better

Heavy factory fleet nets smash coral reefs that are already bleached out and dying from the warming

That’s after they came by with arsenic and dynamite to stun and paralyze their prey

A dead bycatch of seabirds, dolphins, albatross, marlin, sharks and rays bobs lazily in their wake

But, they’ve externalized the costs of ocean strip-mining so you can simply enjoy our weekly special

We institutionalize warfare, glorify suffering and commit ever-spiraling sums to our so-called dEfense

Only the truly wacked-out dare suggest that our divine Jihads simply quicken our own destruction

Countries encourage defensive population growth only to then fight resource wars to feed them

Conflict is simply inevitable so we know research to eradicate it would just be more socialist waste

We snicker at their fairytale squishy nonsense regarding climate change as well as global warming

Libtards dont dare ever mention how much money and how many jobs it would cost to even try to fix

And proudly every family joins the battle by adjusting home thermostats to their personal comfort

But one-worlders keep twisting out of context, junk science in their vast, conspiratorial takeover plot

And every single morning brings another half a million mouths to try and feed sustainably...

But only fascists whisper against the will of all our gods regarding our duty to be fruitful & multiply

So each day we add to our responsibility to squeeze out just a little more from just a little bit less

And no government dares think beyond simple food, shelter & jobs…and new breaks for the very rich
