The “Ugly American” …….. what a concept.
Has it changed ……. are Americans less ethnocentric? Are they less arrogant and thoughtless?
Well, to ease your mind in case you thought you had missed something in the last forty years ……… No, they aren’t.
That is exactly what that American Exceptionalism is all about.
Oh sure it’s bull shit but so is the American Dream and the American Political System, which is really more nightmare than dream.
And not to surprise you but they have always been.
See when one needs to justify what is clearly JUST WRONG the Exceptionalism Dream of America is the default position. So in that way “we Americans” don’t need to conform to normal rules or general principles of others because we are special.
And that makes our killing and torturing and destroying morally necessary so as to assist those we kill, torture and destroy to better their chances at “democracy”. This is the rationale of all those “humanitarian-wars” we start are all about.
As a country we seem to be in the middle of “a race to the bottom” and with the likes of Obomba, Hillary, and Jeb as leadership examples, well face it ……… we are fucking doomed.
No really ……. “THAT’S ALL FOLKS”!
The cartoon that is American has run off its reel.
Paul/McCain: Our Mac Daddies
Now it has been one of those days for Tubularsock so spending some time on the under ground bunker’s deck to bag some rays was in order. Surf’s up sort of speak. (That’s California talk.) And as Tubularsock was pursuing the perfect tan his mind wandered to the Republican’s letter to Iran. Wouldn’t you know.
Rand Paul says he signed the Republican Iran Letter to strengthen Obama’s hand in negotiating with Iran. John McCain says he signed the letter because he signs lots of letters. Now some have called this “back peddling” but for Tubularsock it seems Republicans don’t have much ability to peddle forward so it may be a little generous to believe they could peddle backwards. Just sayen’.
But rather than condemn both Senators as simple-minded-dumb-shits Tubularsock would like to explain why these two men did sign this letter.
For Rand it is pretty simple, like his father he has always been a confused person and that is because he has had to live with having two first names as his name. Rand and Paul as a name has just confused his identity with himself. And thus his entire life has been in search of his last name. Rather sad, if you ask Tubularsock.
And then there is old-forget-me-not ahhh ………. McCain.
Albino McCain … the white man’s burden.
But really, it’s all in the name. Cain …… need Tubularsock say more?
Oh, Tubularsock is already on a roll anyway so sure ……
The “Mc” part of McCain is an attempt to camouflage the Cain part of McCain.
Cain, if you recall your Bible or your Quran, had a brother Abel and they were Adam and Eve’s first sons. From there like all the other shit in the Bible and the Quran the story gets as fucked up as it could be with brothers and sisters fucking each other and God getting all pushed out of shape and Cain ending up killing Abel.
No really, it’s all a forerunner to “brotherly love”.
And then there is the Cain and the Devil connection by some interpretations and that is where Tubularsock is going with this entire matter.
There is the MARK of Cain and that is where John comes in when McCain said he signed the Republican Iran Letter because he signs “lots of letters”.
Or another way to look at this is Cain camouflage as McCain places “HIS MARK”.
Now that Tubularsock has taken your mind and circled the block you may be asking yourself isn’t the fact that all 47 Senators that signed the Republican Iran Letter really are only simple-minded-dumb-shits?
YES!
Tubularsock compliments you for your insight.
