Liberalism has gone sour

My favorite scene from Quentin Tarantino's infamous happy-violent slasher Django Unchained is when our hero, the german bountyhunter, does something extremely stupid, and gets himself killed, and his only excuse is that he simply couldn't resist.

I can relate to that.

To talk on politics is also stupid, nowadays as ever before in history. Once you've provoked someone with some opinion, you get a whole pack of new antagonist hellhounds on your trail. If you're a true moderate too, kicking in all directions when it's needed, you get even more so, making new enemies in an ever growing tail of hatred.

But as earlier mentioned: It's a matter of being able to resist.

There was a time when The United States of America was just some country like everyone else. Like Australia and Canada, France and Russia. Today, well, not so much.

What the aussies or french vote for may matter for the aussies and the french, but to anyone else, to be honest, it doesn't matter that much. But the americans, as in US &A, well it matters to the world because it just does.

With their 12 carriers and their mindblowing airforce, the US may still literally blow anyone out of the water. Take a moment to think about that, if you need. Rule the waves, and you rule the world.

So yes, America matters. Whether you like it or not. Did I hear a merde?

There was a time in history when every fascist/racist asshole in America, still as in the US & A, was a sworn democrat. The republicans was the epitome of the good guys, and if I ever hear a foul word spoken on my favorite, Teddy Roosevelt, you deserve an axe up your ass - sideways.

Then something happened along the way, I won't even try to explain it, but it's clear as the sun for everyone to see. It was not so much that the republicans changed, as the democrats doing so. Democrats like Franklin D. Roosevelt proved that the age of racism and pure lunacy was over, starting an era of wealth and progress never seen before, not ending until the surprising defeat of Jimmy Carter for the star of them cowboy-movies, Ronald Reagan. I really liked that Jimmy Carter, and to this day I cannot understand those who'd rather vote for that obscure actor.

It may seem like the liberalism in America just went all sour after Jimmy Carter, and I must admit I don't know why. I have my suspictions, ofcourse, like anyone else, but I won't pretend to have the answer.

The lack of worthy opposition did not do the republicans any good. Or the americans as a whole, for that matter. I guess in politics, as in economics, real competition is essential to get it healthy and viable.

Bill Clinton's best asset was just not being Bush, who was growing unpopular after war, and when Clinton made himself a fool with that cigar-story of his, the scene was set for the Dubya-show.

Dubya was any satirist and comedians dream, and it was almost impossible for Obama not to win the next election. 

Obama was just a black Clinton, taking up the load where Hillary-Billary left it. But without the cigar thou. 

Next time we'll get Hillary Clinton Vs. Donald Duck, sorry, Trump, and I'm afraid we'll get our bad-hair-day in the White House before we know it.

And when Donald Trump is sworn in as President of the United States of America, my only answer lies in poetry.


Where is the horse and the rider...


Where is the horn that was blowing...


They have passed like rain on the mountains...


Like wind in the meadow...


The days have come down in the West...


Behind the hills into shadow...
