REALITY POLITICS/NEO-NEANDERTHALS

Obama is the Reality Candidate. Everyones agrees that there is nothing "there" in his message. But that doesn't matter in a Reality Campaign. What matters is the immediateness of the image and the triviality of the content. Obama is the original Internet candidate, just as JFK was the original T.V. candidate. ((I knew JFK, and Obama is no JFK.)) Obama's avatar is himself; the internet is still too confused, diffuse and disorganized to elect a president. If the online community could not stop the Bush Crime Family from murdering millions in Iraq, how do they think they could grab power from the entrenched political interests represented by Hillary Clinton?





Fortunately for the traditional Democrats the real reality will mug Obama. He won't know it of course, just as the neo-cons don't know they are being mugged by reality in Iraq. All Democrats hope that Obama will go on and win the presidency in 2012. Now that will be a real revolution.








Taylor Marsh reports Obama has plagiarized Alice Walker. Does this mean Obama will be Bidenized?

Are the Neo-Neanderthals dying out? Despite the metro-sexual cave men selling insurance for Geico, the real Neanderthals, the real neo-men, the real neo-cons are dying out. One generation after the collapse of the Berlin wall German students don't know what communism is; American students don't know what Berlin is. What do the Kristols, the Goldbergs, the Ailes have left? Islamo-facism? Haven't they noticed that a half-Muslim (o.k. maybe a psuedo Muslim) has garnered about half of the votes in the Democratic primaries?

Neo-conservatism is essentially a fascist mindset. It is entirely reactionary, and like the original facists, it's raison d'etre is a virulent, criminal anti-socialism. It is no accident that the icon of the neo-cons, Ronald Reagan, was a contra. Contra everything socialist or communist. The willingness to use any crime beginning with murder and torture to defeat socialism is the indelible birthmark of these neo-facists.

But now that socialism is "dead" what will the neo-fascists do? Islam is not socialist. The murder of Muslims is sufficient only temporarily to slake their blood thirst. The only possible neo-con crusade is Anti-China Socialism. The problem is that the neo-cons will have to take on Wal-Mart, which even the redoubtable Torturer-in-Chief Dick Cheney would never touch, even with a water-board; Wal-Mart would sell him one, though.
