Irrational Anthems

I WISH I could tell you this was mere satire

but it is, sadly, not. It's an actual campaign commercial for a man running for Congress in North Carolina, by the name of Vernon Robinson-

That's ok, at least we're not on myspace. Then the video would play automatically, which is even worse! :)

Wow. Um, wow. I hope this guy gets sued for using the Twilight Zone and Leave it to Beaver for a hate message. I can't say what I want to say or I'll probably get arrested. So I'll just keep my mouth shut about what I hope happens to this guy and everyone like him.

I have to laugh, otherwise I'll weep at the knowledge that there is a demographic which this ad appeals to :)

It's sooo scary that people actually think this way. I guess it's all about control, fear, power and lest we forget, money. I'm so glad I'm a California girl; and Californians need to stay vigilant.
I'm not a Christian, but I always have wondered why it is that the "love thy neighbor" sentiment gets taken out of the message, for so many Christians. Do they really think that someone like me will come to their door and try to recuit them for my evil purposes? Granted, it sounds sorta fun, but I'm too busy with the willing "victims." *eg*

Thanx again for the info Matt (with a big sigh). Ave!

fear and hate they neighbour seems to be more fitting to them

sadly, we have plenty of freaks & fools in California too, they're just too afraid to come near the Bay Area..

a toast, to the willing evil! :)

Actually, I do run into them in the North Bay, more than I like to admit (to myself). There's this whole creepy resurgence of repressive fear mongering going on all over the country right now.
I haven't seen Good Night & Good Luck yet, but I get this feeling we're headed in that general McCarthy'esque direction, again. Icky!

oh, we're way past that already! They are just better at making it less blatant :)

Holy shit that's just crazy. I always was suspect of those cakilakians. Damn hysteria, I've been feeling it growing around here. Seemed like 5 years ago the east coast was getting more united and people were focusing on making the future better for every one. The past few years things have been drifting back apart, people are more secluded, Rush is gaining more listeners. I get in like 3 arguements a week with people whose agruement is "but Rush says"... at that point I usually quit, there no sense in arguing with a puppet. Ignorance begats fear, fear begats hatred, hatred begats ignorance. Circle of stupidity. I've been a bit peved since the whole lets ban gay marriage thing came up, I've got a better idea, let's ban marriage.

The other bad thing is that the democrats around here are driving to equal extremes pushing logic aside to follow party lines. Fucking clones I swear. That's enough for my political rant, I hates politics. sorry to hyjack your blog.

no worries, Danny, your post sounds like most of my other blogs :)

it's good to know there are people like you in my hometown, keeping the balance! It isn't easy...

I've been toying with the idea of doing some freeway blogging while I'm there :)
