A tale told by an idiot

By Capt. Fogg 

Has Andrew Breitbart blown a fuse? He seems to be saying just that: raving strangely about shooting people and being under attack from "liberals." Perhaps that's true, since like most of that rabble without a cause calling themselves conservative these days, a liberal is anyone you disagree with, and if these dull-witted bastards agree with anyone, it's with other ignorant, deluded, dull-witted bastards. 

There are times when I'm not thinking as clearly as I should, and in those unclear moments, I always think to myself, "Fire the first shot. Bring it on." Because I know who's on our side,

he said to a group of people on his side of the border of sanity, or at least those capable of listening to this without calling 911. 

We outnumber them in this country and we have the guns... I'm not kidding. They talk a mean game, but they will not cross that line because they know what they're dealing with.

Perhaps he's not kidding, but sorry, the "we" he's talking about really don't have the numbers, and although I hesitate to tell him, they aren't the only ones with guns. The rest of us just don't wave them around and threaten other people with them so that we can get our way.

So what line are you talking about, Andy? What line won't I cross to defend my country, the truth, democracy, and common decency? I'm afraid I know exactly what I'm dealing with, and I'm not impressed.

But still, a threat of violence is a threat of violence, and I think it's worth noting that when the frustration involved in transporting the United States back to it's darkest years of poverty and exploitation gets to these people, when they find themselves confident in talking to people of like mind, the true colors come out -- and so do the guns. 

Andrew Breitbart isn't a conservative. Conservatives don't dream about, talk about, and apparently advocate starting violent revolutions, by definition, nor do most sane people under circumstances as we have today. Andrew Breitbart doesn't believe in democracy, because although revolution may speak from the muzzle of a gun, democracy does not, nor does it suppress votes, buy votes, and base political power on firepower, threats, or buying power.

I mean, what the hell is he so desperate about? He's got money, our federal taxes are the lowest in his lifetime, and it certainly wasn't witches or demons or liberals who started a war and refused to pay for it or, as Republicans nearly always do, escalated the debt beyond all reason. What content can anyone find in his barking and hissing? What can he explain other than to drone on and on about how liberals are that and conservatives are like a deranged dog chasing its tail. Argument by diktat, argument by amplitude, argument by lying, shifting his terms around like some street hustler with walnut shells.

Like most of these brats and hooligans and barroom bullies, all he wants is power: the kind of power that stems from divine right, hatred, and the wealth of Hades. The kind he has no qualification to hold and no following to elect him to. So sure, Andy, your friends have guns, that's the only way sad, depressing losers like you and them can get noticed: hate-shouting, gun-waving, witch-hunting, and all the rest of the bellicose bullshit you try to pass of as a cause. So sure, bring it on, show everyone what kind of spoiled, petulant, and democracy-hating bolshevik brat you are. I'm waiting.

Come out shooting and see how far the "liberals" let you get before you and the whole camo-clad, rebel-yell-shouting vermin get what you deserve.
