It's "reverse rope" (just made that up). Like rope in which to hang someone with (I don't mean that necessarily racially). However, lo these last too many years, us libs have been saying, probably one instance of it in the comments of every liberal blog since Bush took office -- "Just give them enough rope to hang them with". No republican was ever hung. In fact, they trotted out their fall guys, the republican gay sex scandals etc etc etc etc. Thus allowing no republican, democrat, conservative, liberal, gay activist, family values activist to KEEP THE EYE ON THAT FUCKING PEA! Lakoff admonished us to "reframe the debate". Jesus, I put that book down after probably 7 pages. Then we had the "what's the matter with Kansas" bullshit. All meant to stir divisiveness and make liberals look at themselves in the mirror and say "god, I'm awesome. What say you, Linda Worthiemer?" You can't even turn on the TV anymore without some comment made about obese, rural folk. That's been the topic for at least 7 gawdawful years. Always. Nonstop. HOW TO MAKE AMERICA LOSE WEIGHT. WHY IS AMERICA SO FAT? It's such a ploy.
They are engendering hatred where there really was none 20 years ago or so. Us city folk could drive out to the country, go into a little main steet coffeeshop, family restaurant, just be, enjoy the stop and then carry on up to great grandpa's in Rapid City SD. Now we're all demarcated within the self. Identity politics. Fucking fascist, technocratic finagling all the way. And just then as all this extraneous hatred comes along, out goes the little main street business districts and family farms and in come the CORPORATIONS. The fast food, the frozen food, the big boxes, the violent music, the meth, the crack, the mega churches and etc etc etc.
Now we're Dems or we're Republicans. We tried I suppose to start that old green party up. Didn't do jack shit for nothing. Got blamed for seating Bush in office is what happened. Now, we're onto the already planned sequel of "reverse rope". Being drowned in a bathtub filled with tea.
I think I've brought it up here before, but I believe they are creating "flash points" for the unrest in a "wired world" in which to funnel one and all into some technocratic no go zone. Arizona is one. Could be SC is another. God, there was one more I thought of recently, but cannot remember. Anyhow. I'm gonna go BBQ.
There is no me. There is no you. There is all. There is no you. There is no me. And that is all. A profound acceptance of an enormous pageantry. A haunting certainty that the unifying principle of this universe is love. -- Propagandhi
