Man! Dude! Session #176

(D)ude: Man! The United States Press ridiculed President Obama’s speech this morning. I watched the speech on television and online and was genuinely moved to do something for the countless folks in our community who will be blocked from casting ballots in the upcoming midterm elections. I have scheduled two driving lessons for two of my buddies’ wives for this week.

(M)an: Dude! You’re helping people get their driver’s licenses got me thinking yesterday and I decided to place the five thousand dollars I set aside for a new used car for the fall into a similar effort like yours. I’m not a great driver myself and thought about the folks who will have to present valid identification in the midterms due to voter suppression efforts throughout the country following the Supreme Court’s Shelby decision.

D: Man! I never knew you to save money! But now that you apparently have, what are you going to do on behalf of those lacking a valid identification for casting ballots in the upcoming midterm elections?

M: Dude! The cost of a passport is around $125.00 normally for an adult or a minor. But expedited service is also an option but with an added $60.00 fee plus two-way overnight delivery costs that can make it financially unfeasible for an adult of voting age to even attempt to attain such services and hurdles.

D: Man! That’s quick thinking on your end! It would be really hard to observe someone getting disqualified after standing in line for the chance to cast their ballot based on new and tougher voter restrictions. I really wonder what is going on in the United States these days and why no one in the American Press can even peep a word out in favor of the Obama Administration?

M: Dude! Steve Kornacki, George Stephanopoulos, and David Gregory really have given in to the neoconservative insiders that are beginning to infiltrate the popular media like in the last midterms that gave US obstructionist Speaker Boehner and the appropriations-obsessed Republican House Caucus. The reason for the American Press aligning itself with the GOP is simply one of methodology and advertising.  

D: Man! So, methodically the GOP has always been mute and favorable towards an incumbent democratic president?

M: Dude! Yes! And the GOP is up to the exact tactics this time. There was Newt Gingrich then and John Boehner now. The Democratic Party lost control of both chambers of Congress as the United States Press Corps is hoping to parallel President Obama and President Clinton in order for backwardness to prevail again.

D: Man! Steve Kornacki’s show was like watching Morning Joe flute out accolades about the desirable GOP of not just yesteryears but also just this past week. You know, I am not able to tolerate sodium in my diet like the average McDonald’s customer has been reported to be able to do in the latest NBC News and Wall Street Journal poll out just this morning.

M: Dude! What if I were to inform you that a Journal of the American Medical Association study found similar results in a controlled quantitative whatever?

D: Man! I would prefer an ABC News poll like George Stephanopoulos, or, better yet, the Wall Street Journal editorials like David Gregory, when addressing Treasury Secretary Jack Lew face-to-face on my program. Forget controlled quantitative whatever! That would only reinforce President Obama’s speech at Knox College in Galesburg, Illinois last week, which received a wonderful reception by the audience, the place was packed and resonating responsiveness.

M: Dude! The American Press Corps folks at Public Policy Polling, for example, are reporting very detailed results as of July 25, 2013, showing without bias how the conservatives are actually in the lead nationally for the midterms and 2016. Did you know that Rand Paul, Jeb Bush, Chris Christie, Paul Ryan, Ted Cruz, Marco Rubio, Rick Santorum, Bobby Jindal, and Susana Martinez are actually being touted as presidential possibilities?

D: Man! Covertly, the GOP is manipulating the American political system once again without any focus on their opposition, but totally immersed in their own toxic brew that includes pseudo-Democrats like Kirsten Gillibrand and the Cory Booker.

M: Dude! Kirsten Gillibrand and Cory Booker bring to mind what took place at the round table discussions on MSNBC’s Up, ABC’s This Week, and NBC’s Meet The Press: journalistic treachery. Beginning with the glib sarcastic outlook for the Obama Administration on MSNBC’s “Up”, bashing Detroit as the bigoted George Will and self-aggrandizements of Peggy Noonan could only put out of perspective and into a prejudicial loophole of dissent, and the screwball kooks Maria Bartiromo and Harold Ford Junior making declarations of their alliance with the Democratic outlook of David Axelrod when both Bartiromo and Harold Ford Junior purported non-Democratic principles of throwing in the towel and allowing the abortion restrictions (Bartiromo) and the installment of the Keystone Pipeline XL (Ford Junior).  

D: Man! And when Representative for Michigan’s 8^th congressional district Mike Rogers disclosed in a whirlpool about Snowden’s current situation, he also directly stated something that David Gregory conveniently overlooked: that “our soldiers in Afghanistan are in harm’s way” and regarding Russian and Chinese intelligence, there is “a lot to be concerned about”… I sincerely suspect that the Republican Party is treasonous in interfering with the day-to-day operations of the Obama Administration. And the GOP can interfere: it’s got too many thriving business executives financing their pseudo-government.

M: Dude! Mike Rogers is the Chairman of the House Intelligence Committee and his wife is conveniently the former President and CEO of Aegis LLC, an intelligence contractor concerned with security details.  

D: Man! And John Boehner has clearly stated that his caucus is only concerned over repealing laws and blocking legislation. And the Republicans want to spread freedom elsewhere like Egypt and Syria, when they themselves have adopted the same corruption patterns practiced by the governing parties in the Middle East!

M: Dude! Civil disobedience cannot be observed in places like Republican Scott Walker’s Wisconsin anymore, the gerrymandering and cheating tactics ingraining the status quo while protestors are getting arrested for peaceful demonstrations!

D: Man! GOP instituted the Muslim Brotherhood and then let bombs burst in the air over Egypt and Syria. Then they switched routes and played mind games with the most vulnerable, the hapless civilian populations in both nations. The Republican Party is despicable and deserving of dire straits of its own!

M: Dude! And George Will and Peggy Noonan wrote out Detroit from the conscience of readers of the Wall Street Journal and viewers of ABC News. And now they have the gumption to express such hate and disgust towards Americans in poverty, George Will actually having declared his view that African Americans in Detroit have caused their own demise and the cultural collapse of one of Michigan’s cornerstones, which is infested with wild dogs and decay.

D: Man! George Will’s next incarnation will be that of a wild dog in Detroit!

M: Dude! George Will is a wild dog! A natural gas and fossil fuels enthusiast, the defining madness of the present GOP!

D: Man! These pestilential Republicans like the Wall Street Journal’s Peggy Noonan and George Will are making it harder and harder to be a minority and a woman! Lindy Boggs freed women from their husbands’ power over their personal finances by fighting against the stipulation that a woman had to garner a husband’s approval and signature in order to get a credit card! And Martin Luther King Junior fought so we could be judged by the content of our character sometime in the nearer and nearer present that the Supreme Court Male Injustices have suddenly move US back to the days of Jim Crow!

M: Dude! To answer Stephanie Mencimer’s question in Mother Jones on Friday: Is Ginni Thomas’ expanding activism with [Groundswell Republicanism] a problem for Supreme Court [In]justice Clarence Thomas? Yeah! Yes! Yeah!
