Histrionics are usually used by people who are shallow and need attention. » Posted By Moist Robot On September 8, 2010 @ 5:14 pm Why Republicans Will Lose By Winning I agree with the gentleman below, who fancies himself a physicist, by saying this is a most excellent piece, Adlib » Posted By Moist Robot On September 2, 2010 @ 12:53 pm Really? Explain. » Posted By Moist Robot On September 2, 2010 @ 12:51 pm Your comment is awaiting moderation. I got my unicorns and I’m still upset! I was promised a trial box of unicorn glitter reality sprinkles to put on my unicorns so they would actually exist outside of my minds. Obama is JUST like that guy who sold me those sea monkeys I saw advertised in that Archie comic book when I was going through my limerent relationship with Jughead. NO! The sea monkeys don’t sit in their livingroom watching TV while the mom monkey serves them cake! It was a hoax! Obama is the man I voted for to give me my unicorns and unicorn glitter reality sprinkles, but all I got were three unicorns and a flashback of a crushing sea monkey disappointment. I’m voting Republican no matter who runs on that side. » Posted By Moist Robot On September 1, 2010 @ 6:58 pm The White Wings of Icarus Fall Silent Fun to read, Marion! I did not know of the link between Breitbart and Arianna. What that further establishes for me is that the gradations of relationships in both politics and the media (as elsewhere, really) is a spectrum with shifting allegiances in time and ambiguously categorizable self-held ideologies. People get invited to cocktail parties and find that their children attended the same soccer camp. That maybe in and of itself enough to temper a publicly held political position that seems well defined by the outside. In addition, Arianna may have been the obverse of the neocon as “mugged Liberal”. I disagree that the most stable and deep change occurs with time. I think it can happen more quickly, as epiphany. Re AH, who knows? She seems to be enigmatic. » Posted By Moist Robot On August 26, 2010 @ 11:27 am TAKE ACTION: Help Write a Speech For Pres. Obama I like that, wts. Pretty much sums it up. » Posted By Moist Robot On August 26, 2010 @ 3:25 am Johnny Adlibseed says: “America will be watching him closely to make sure he » Posted By Moist Robot On August 26, 2010 @ 3:23 am Unless they get put to sleep. It needs to get their adrenaline going. People are also in a trance from media and entertainment. Not including the trances they are in in their day to day social interactions. There are many layers to break through. I am by nature an idealist but I am also a pragmatist. To get the job done one may need to abandon the ideals and get ornery and manipulative. Fight fire with fire. » Posted By Moist Robot On August 25, 2010 @ 11:31 am People liked Bush because he was a plain speaker despite his verbal handicap. He was impassioned and “clear”. Reagan had the same sort of clarity. I think Obama is principled. But I also think his passion is circumscribed and so muted that he appears to float above it all. We were told this before the election. It has panned out. What he says is going to be less important then how he says it. » Posted By Moist Robot On August 25, 2010 @ 11:25 am We need an activist President. » Posted By Moist Robot On August 25, 2010 @ 10:58 am He was bold during the election. He wanted to demonstrate something that he may have no need to demonstrate again. » Posted By Moist Robot On August 25, 2010 @ 10:51 am “Hey, if you want to talk about conspiracy theorists, that » Posted By Moist Robot On August 25, 2010 @ 10:38 am I’m sure he’ll debate vigorously because he’s a Harvard lawyer and that’s what lawyers, especially one of Obama’s stature, do. To what extent some of these things he does are done symbolically, it’s hard to say. The rest of his administration are sort of cut from the same cloth. Elizabeth Warren would be a departure and she’s still from Harvard. Why this whole thing with Harvard? Because Harvard owns Goldman and Goldman controls the money in his country. I think it’s key. Corporate America! As Jack Kerouac said “And that ain’t no Harvard lie”. I go through cynical periods, kes. This may be a more entrenched one. » Posted By Moist Robot On August 25, 2010 @ 10:26 am I wonder whether he cares if it’s working or not. What sort of seed will be planted and who’s going to be planting it? » Posted By Moist Robot On August 25, 2010 @ 10:04 am I think with Obama there is “no there there”. Unless he shows a side of himself that he’s kept in his back pocket, I think he is not really interested in saying or doing anything that will cause upset. He has become as bland as they come. Boreack Oblanda » Posted By Moist Robot On August 25, 2010 @ 10:02 am He’ll never do it HITO. It isn’t in him. » Posted By Moist Robot On August 25, 2010 @ 9:53 am Sounds good to me, wts! » Posted By Moist Robot On August 25, 2010 @ 4:55 am You get in here right now OG ! » Posted By Moist Robot On August 25, 2010 @ 12:10 am That’s right! That’s why I said originally, I believe, we need to make us fear the looming Republicans. Then we give ourselves hope. » Posted By Moist Robot On August 24, 2010 @ 11:56 pm Drives out, but not absolutely. To have only hope would not be advantageous to us as a species. It would set us up. Some amount of fear, I think, needs to loom in the shadows. I see it as a fear-hope dialectic. » Posted By Moist Robot On August 24, 2010 @ 11:35 pm Obama provided hope, or at least the promise of it. It succumbed to fear and there was no hope plan B in place. Or so it seems to this Joe American. I think Obama has a hard time convincing people he can address their fears because he doesn’t appear to feel them. He is cool. Too cool. » Posted By Moist Robot On August 24, 2010 @ 11:29 pm I agree. Most Americans need to be first woken up out of their trances before they can hear anything new that doesn’t put them back in a trance. » Posted By Moist Robot On August 24, 2010 @ 11:22 pm Hope is precisely the solution the Dems need to inspire. That’s their edge. Hope, ideally, directs fear. » Posted By Moist Robot On August 24, 2010 @ 11:01 pm I agree about Rooseveltian. But disagree with you otherwise. Fear is universal and will never go away. Fear is not a poison, it is a very important part of who we are. It informs us. Fear or anxiety can motivate because it causes an increase in the energy of people. Fear is adrenaline. It makes them move. Fear is needed for progress. Trying to minimize fear by not introducing it into our existence would be a brittle existence subject to denying reality. All activism starts with fear and powerlessness and leads to indignation as a result. The indignation through protestation is the physical manifestation of the fear. (I’m not talking about propagandized fear manipulation). Sorry. » Posted By Moist Robot On August 24, 2010 @ 9:48 pm Arthurian is too emotionally removed to do anything. It DOES have to tap into primal fear. Obama/Dems just have to do what the Republicans don’t do: come up with a solution to the fear. The Republicans only offer fear without solutions. » Posted By Moist Robot On August 24, 2010 @ 9:14 pm USA!!! HUZZAH, HUZZAH, HUZZAH!!!! I love the idea, Adlib. But Obama ALREADY is literary and intellectual. Like all of you! He needs grit, beer and bowling. The unfortunate thing is, he doesn’t appear to have it in him. He can’t seem to depart from a mode which has served him so well up until now. Obama’s brain hides his heart The heart is more visceral, primitive and persuasive. Fear works. It is the first emotion to have and it is hard to extinguish. The GOP uses the Ape Movies model. Apes in movies and in the wild are first afraid and then angry. That’s the solar fuel that drives the GOP’s Fear/Anger which is repeated and mirrored and cloned. We need to make Ourselves paranoid of the Republicans. O won’t because he won’t get black and white about it. But the GOP sure does! That’s why they win. They create ABSOLUTE VALUES. Absolute Fear values, absolute Anger issues. Obama creates gradations. Dems are afraid or ambivalent about indignation. Repubs drink it like milk. Obama needs a Cyrano who’s a real mutha. » Posted By Moist Robot On August 24, 2010 @ 7:24 pm Mid-Atlantic Trip Part 5: Charlottesville Qui accuse s’accuse, mon choux. » Posted By Moist Robot On August 23, 2010 @ 8:39 pm Naaah! 🙂 » Posted By Moist Robot On August 23, 2010 @ 7:17 pm True, but I am a mutant. You see, the *a* was excised during a translocation of my Duncan Hines genes during the political evolution of China. Make sense now? » Posted By Moist Robot On August 23, 2010 @ 7:08 pmComments Posted By Moist Robot
I love “ratfuck” and so many of the other terms and word usages in articles past!
That’s why I endorse fear. A mild fear, but enough to get their attention.
Americans need guidance and that means they can’t be exposed to ambiguity as much as we may like, they can’t tolerate it.
We shouldn’t give up, but if we protest maybe we should storm Harvard.
USA!!!
USA!!!
