Intellectual Thresholds

(D)ude: Man! As I watch David Letterman night after night, I cannot believe CBS and NBC are lowering their intellectual thresholds by forcing Dave and Jay Leno out and bringing in small fries as replacements. Why?

(M)an: Dude! American television executives are enraptured by the simplistic swagger of Mitt Romney, a guaranteed pathway back to President George Walker Bush’s reign of dynastic deceit, destruction, death, and Dick Cheney.    

D: Man! Talking about agent provocateurs, what about the news specifically concerning Double-O-Zero and Zero-Four-Seven? I overheard these are the latest designations for a particular brand of intelligence.    

M: Dude! Those would be Republican strategist Steve Schmidt and Republican candidate Mitt Romney.

D: Man! Which one of these is which?

M: Dude! That’s a tough one to call. However, I am certain Agent Double-O-Zero is Steve Schmidt and Agent Zero-Four-Seven is Mitt Romney, the reason for the latter being given a numeric designation above zilch is due in part to his privately chiding the disenfranchised—at the closed-door fundraiser the United States Press Corps has since forgotten and forgiven Romney for entertaining—as follows,

There are 47 percent of the people who will vote for the President no matter what. All right, there are 47 percent who are with him, who are dependent upon government, who believe that they are victims, who believe that government has a responsibility to care for them, who believe that they are entitled to health care, to food, to housing, to you name it. That- that's an entitlement. And the government should give it to them. And they will vote for this President no matter what. And I mean, the President starts off with 48, 49- 48- he starts off with a huge number.

These are people who pay no income tax. Forty-seven percent of Americans pay no income tax. So our message of low taxes doesn't connect. And he'll be out there talking about tax cuts for the rich. I mean that's what they sell every four years. And so my job is not to worry about those people— I'll never convince them that they should take personal responsibility and care for their lives. What I have to do is convince the 5 to 10 percent in the center that are independents that are thoughtful, that look at voting one way or the other depending upon in some cases emotion, whether they like the guy or not, what it looks like.  

D: Man! These people who pay no income tax and comprise of 47 percent of the population in the United States of America are helpless, disenfranchised and deserve far better representation in government than what the Republican Party is offering up in this year’s midterm elections. The Congressional Republicans and their brownnosing captive American Press Corps have deliberately drafted plans of action that are rigorous and scream exclusivity and privilege and power in the direction opposite of democracy and more like what’s been set up in theocracies like Saudi Arabia and regimes like Syria.   

M: Dude! American Voters need only look at the policy dynamics in Saudi Arabia and Syria and Iraq and the Republican Party’s “Growth and Opportunity Project” for reasons to register to vote immediately and then actually cast their ballots on or before Election Day Tuesday, November 4, 2014 for the Democratic Ticket.   

D: Man! Yes, let’s begin with Saudi Arabia, Syria, and Iraq. President Obama and Secretary Kerry are promoting inclusive governance in and between the Middle Eastern nations, but the Republican Party insists it’s too late and dangerous for US now and that the Commander in Chief and Secretary of State are a day late and a dollar short.   

M: Dude! The United States Government under the Congressional Republicans and the John Roberts SCOTUS is years late and billions of dollars short! If Senators John McCain and Lindsey Graham and Representative Marsha Blackburn want a plan of action from the President of the United States that involves combat boots on the ground, what about economic compensation for veterans who return home and are waitlisted for services that ought to be rendered promptly? Don’t the Republicans understand that counterterrorism is an astute plan of action in a region as volatile as the Middle East?      

D: Man! The Republican Party knows and didn’t care enough to agree to pass the campaign finance amendment that it unanimously blocked in the United States Senate yesterday.  

M: Dude! The Republican Party then must be clueless clucks and beaker brains like Agents Double-O-Zero Steve Schmidt and Zero-Four-Seven Mitt Romney because there will come a time in the near tomorrow, if and only if Americans decide not to register to vote and cast their ballots on or before Election Tuesday, November 4, 2014 for the Democratic ticket, that the billionaire donors will attempt to buy the United States Military and reduce the United States of America to the same volatility as is present in the Middle East.     

D: Man! When did the United States Military go on sale according to the Republican Party’s beaker brains that cook up such menace?

M: Dude! Republican Party members are already catering to the despicableness of their billionaire patrons by insisting fallaciously that the United States Military cannot defeat ISIL. The biggest criminal offense by the Republican Party and its affiliates is their insistence that the United States Armed Forces cannot defeat ISIL and then likening Muslims and Islam to gangs of serial killers that such terrorist assemblages represent.

D: Man! The Republican Party ought to be ashamed for countless reasons but especially for questioning the integrity and training of our sons and daughters in uniform.

M: Dude! The Republican Party’s billionaire donors do not understand that if they manage to buy the United States Armed Forces, they will be targeted with a particular price for themselves and their loved ones.  

D: Man! That’s why we’ve got to register and then vote! War, wreckage, wealth like the George Walker Bush and Republican Party way or peace building international partnerships like the Barack Obama and the Democratic Party direction forward.

M: Dude! The Republican Party is a genocidal grenade that goes off and blasts millions of lives around the world and leaves behind no traces because of the small price that people in the trenches of societies agree to in exchange for becoming self-sacrificial operatives of violence.

D: Man! There is always a price to pay with underhanded business dealings. And the rich dispose of the disenfranchised in such seamless and callous fashion that it appears like the disenfranchised died or suffered excruciating circumstances by turning on their own demographic.

M: Dude! French philosopher Denis Diderot said it best in the eighteenth-century,

Power acquired by violence is only usurpation, and lasts only as long as the force of him who commands prevails over that of those who obey.

D: Man! All of Earth’s continents have been conquered and controlled and then comprehended and eventually celebrated in some delusive fabrication.

M: Dude! The Republican Party’s “Growth and Opportunity Project” outlines the upcoming patterns of misbehavior that the neoconservative billionaire donors have in mind to conflict with American Democracy in 2016. They plan to reduce the number of debates while being able to select the moderators and the topics to be discussed.

D: Man! Staging and then eliminating debates altogether with the delineation of details about one’s political intents remaining undisclosed, the Republican Party’s really regimented like Syria.

M: Dude! And theocratic like Saudi Arabia in the way the Republican Party’s billionaire donors dishonor the Virgin Mary with their degradation of women’s rights and  autonomy. Likewise, their conservative billionaire counterparts in the Middle East dishonor Khadijah, the first Muslim convert and wife of the Prophet Mohammed, with the degradation of women’s rights and autonomy over there as well. The harem mentality evident amongst the elite needs to be reassessed in all cultures for the sake of all our daughters being able to reach an intellectual potential besides becoming dependent wives via entering into the lifestyles and upon the whims of their husbands. Why not have husbands entering into the lifestyles and upon the whims of their wives? The Prophet Mohammed did just so when he married Khadijah!
