Sheep
I don't know the title of the program I'm watching. It should be Austin City Limits. It is about 11:15 P.M., Friday, October 18, 2002, on Oregon Public Broadcastng. But, this message? In Austin, Texas? The music is Mexican. The singers, speaking in Mexican-accented English, are spewing hate at your white skin and your white ways. One just said that he had learned the Gettysburg Address, which meant nothing to him. Another musical brasero describes an "American" joke. He sings, "What do you call a Mexican-American doctor?" Then, he answers his melodic question. "A spick," he says. (It may be spelled "spic.") It wasn't just your white skin this liberal answer to a Ku Klux Klan meeting was busy hating. They sang of your college education, your fine clothes, your fancy homes, your clean white collar. You are a vampire, a robber, living on money stolen from them. You feed on food torn from the mouths of their sixteen children. They sang of your evil border patrol which sets fire to their sixteen children. (It was easy to see the jack-booted, blue-eyed, blonde guards, laughing with a fascist accent as they activated the flame throwers and admired the way the flesh peeled away from the screaming sixteen Mexican children ) They just flashed the program logo. It is Austin City Limits, after all. Apparently, Texas isn't the place it used to be. The men herding cattle there have become sheep. Things got so skewed after 911, when you reflect back on it. . People who had been for decades bullied into hiding their flags, took them out and unfurled them and hung them from the long-empty bracket on the porch. The pledge of allegiance was heard in the land. Old Glory shocked the liberals, angered them. Someone publicly uttered the word "God" as the vile stars and stripes fluttered in the wind. The hated symbol of the racist, white, fascist evil way of life represented by slave masters like Washington, Jefferson, Adams and Lincoln. Red, white and blue that the liberals thought they had urinated on, stomped into the ground and finally burned to death. There it was, again, the hated symbol of evil capitalism, the defiant banner of those who once lived in America, those who would not knuckle under to tyrants, would not bow their heads beneath their Mao cap and join the muddy line, walking the muddy road to the Gulag to sing songs of praise for Fidel Castro and Kim Il Sung. Something had to be done. These beasts have been raising their heads for the first time in decades. Life is returning to them. The next thing you know, they will stop Saddam Hussein from enlightening the people. They will, like the fascist Jews, object to their cafes disappearing in a fireball, their children being murdered as the true sons of Allah, flying stolen capitalist aircraft slam into capitalist buildings. And, so, among many efforts financed by your tax dollars, your donations and the MacArthur Foundation, we now have the Austin City Limits program of anti-white, anti-capitalist, anti-western hate that I ran across tonight. The acid of class hate, the acid of whitey-hate, a production of America-hate spewing forth hate from, of all places, that stage in that town in that state. The election is nigh. PBS is terrified that the Left will lose the Senate. In the song, the proud Mexican father, his boots spattered with the mud of two nations, is always facing south. Perhaps this explains why you sometimes find them out cold on the railroad tracks in Cornelius, Oregon. I stopped my car, got out and picked one up, once, and carried him and his mostly empty tequila bottle off to the side so a train would not run over them. The railroad tracks go east to west, there. It is easy to trip over the rails when you are facing south, but walking north. Why, one asks when watching this public broadcasting vomiting of anti-American hate, do these people come north? If America is such a Nazi death camp, why do they not stay in the lands below the border, where peace, justice, and good obtains? Their proud fathers have created a perfect land, there. What need to voluntarily subject themselves to America? Why not just make their living and raise their children in paradise? From my white, American, fascist point of view, what they do is logical. Theirs is a paradise shaped like a leech attached to the leg of Uncle Sam, its tongue the Western Union telegraph lines chattering to Mexico electronic dollars by the millions so that their loved ones will not die in poverty. I, too, would want to come to fascist, racist America where, just like my own Irish ancestors, I could repair the sewers of the well-to-do so that my children would have the chance to become something more than a serf. But the people of which these singers sing? Well, it is embarrassing, having to come to America from paradise to make enough money to buy the guns to shoot the Texas sheep and return the land to the rightful owners. Revolution gets messy at times. The ends justify the means if they're socialist means, though. Civilian casualties, evil when capitalists create them while getting rid of governments that execute women in public stadiums for the crime of adultery, are necessary adjuncts to a socialist enlightenment. Paradise has its price. Do you give money to public broadcasting? Is this because you hate America? If you hate America so much, why don't you use the money to buy a ticket, and leave? You could move to paradise. Cuba, maybe. Or the southern half of Nogales. I hear Pyongyang is nice this time of year. Yes, Pyongyang. North Korea is an equal-opportunity society. Except for the political elite and the military, everybody there is equally starving to death. Oh, a new program just came on. It's called "Who Counts?" The election is nigh. PBS is terrified that the Left will lose the Senate. Did you know that the presidency was stolen from Al Gore? Even though the official count and all six post-election counts, many of them by bastions of the liberal media, came out in favor of Bush, that election was stolen. Here's how it happened. The butterfly ballots, approved in advance by the Democrats who ran the Miami-Dade and Brower County, Florida voter precincts were duplicates of the ballots used in the union machine precincts in Chicago. Though they were easily filled out in a test in a sixth-grade Portland, Oregon classroom, and did not confuse blacks in Chicago, they were an evil, racist trick played on Florida blacks -- a great number of whom couldn't understand them. It was done by bussed-in Republican demonstrators who charged the Democrat-controlled ballot counting rooms and stopped the attempts to give the victory to Gore no matter what the ballots said. I like bussed-in Republican demonstrators. They're not a pack of greasy hippies like the ones the Democrats bus in to steal elections. (Like the ones the Democrats bussed in to steal the election in St. Louis. Like the ones the Democrats bussed in to steal the election in Pennsylvania. You didn't know that in the last presidential election the final tally in one major Pennsylvania city was 10% above the number of registered voters, and all of the new votes went to Gore?) These bussed-in Republican demonstrators love the American flag, and wear ties. The other way they differ from the Texas sheep who attended that Austin City Limits concert is that they refuse to put up with liberal crap. Now the late night rerun of the Lehrer News Hour is on. A Harvard professor is saying that last minute soft-money millions are pouring in to beat the campaign finance reform deadline. This avalanche of money is being used to finance negative ads, he explains. Then a Republican is shown. He is, says Gwen the Eyefull, using this negative money to criticize his Democrat opponent. (This is known as "mean-spiritedness.") No mention is made of the three Democrat multi-millionaires who just this week assembled fifteen million dollars for just such a barrage from the Left. (This is not known as "mean-spritedness.") Obviously, PBS thinks that not all the sheep in America live in Texas. One of them is sitting in your chair. (LL) Postscript: Political essays from Oregon Magazine are frequently posted on some of the internet forums, which, for the uninitiated, are the greatest town hall meetings in world history. Literally millions attend them each week. Texas Sheep was posted on the forum of the famed (Clinton era) Lucianne Goldberg, Lucianne dot com. It was removed by she or her monitors within hours, we have been told. Too explosive, probably. The truth often is. In today's climate of Political Correctness, where free speech is Einsteinian in nature -- that is to say, a matter of relativity -- only certain kinds of people may be criticized. Those we have permission to criticize may be castigated without limit. They may be painted with obvious, outright lies. On the other hand, those we do not have permission to criticize may be blackmailing, racist, philandering hypocrites, and guilty of breaking dozens of laws for which the unprotected would suffer retribution. (Jesse Jackson fits most, if not all, of those descriptions.) But, they must not be besmirched, or the teller of truth will be rejected, damned and reviled. Miss Goldberg's fame is due to her explosive revelations with respect to Bubba's sex scandals, so this act is both cowardly and hypocritical of her. Oddly, her forum, itself, is the result of a rejection by a great many key players, and the subsequent mass departure by same, from the site of one of the founding fathers of the internet forum culture, Jim Robinson. His is the oft-referred-to Free Republic. Texas Sheep was posted there, as well. Here is a comment from one who read it, and understood what is going on. The acronym, NPR, stands for National Public Radio, which is more blatently biased, socialist and politically correct than even the television division. Fidel Castro and Saddam Hussein could happily listen to NPR for hours. Stalin would have supported it, just as he supported and instructed the Hollywood Screenwriters Guild PBS has long defended. Did you see the PBS program about Soviet infiltration of American society and government for the purpose of stealing nuclear secrets? Did you notice that during that program, PBS forgot to mention that this, their own documentary, proved Joe McCarthy was right? Now to the FR post about Texas Sheep: On a related note, NPR positively had a spasm over the death penalty, racism in America, and pollution in Texas leading up to the 2000 election. Here is approximately their programming lineup for October and early November 2000, and this is no distortion: 5AM-6AM Racism
in America
You get the idea. Your tax $ at
work.
To his axis of evil, President Bush should add public broadcasting in America. (LL) © 2002 Oregon Magazine |
