So what is the REAL problem, Bucko?

ER — 4/22/2013 6:07:50 PM (archived)

And why is the great leftist conspiracy so keen to hide it? Is it just because they hate your freedom? Is it because they are after your stash? Is it because they are the thinly disguised mask that covers a Great Tyranny in the making?

Listen, TB. I AM the leftist conspiracy. I think and believe and honor everything you find contemptible in America. If any of that paranoid crap was true don't you think I would know all about it? What could possibly lead you to believe I am incapable of seeing what is so obvious to you? Am I that blind and you that perceptive? Do you really have that much contempt for everyone who dares question your religion?

Well, don't expect me to try to prove I'm not part of this sinister plot against everything you hold so dear. I don't have to. I don't believe it and I really don't care whether or not you do.

In my universe there is no great leftist conspiracy. There isn't even a pathetically laughable right wing one. It's just a bunch a scared suburbanites and frustrated Archie Bunkers who feel they have been lied to and taken advantage of and haven't got the integrity to admit to themselves they've been conned so they need to create a reason why things haven't worked out for them the way they were promised it would--reasons like "a political movement whose primary concern right now is eliminating its opposition".

What opposition? Your lot has done more to discredit itself than anything the Lamestream Media could possibly come up with.

And you'll have to excuse me now. I'm going to be busy for a while, with real world problems in MY universe. I am expecting the contractor any minute who is going to give me a quote on remodelling my bathroom.
