Tag: Christmas on War
Tis the season for conspicuous consumption.
First, connoisseurs of the history of Jesus would know that He was born in a barn. Nothing about flying reindeer, dancing snowmen, or a huge elf. Or trees. There was a little bit of Grinchiness this year on the part of the U.S. Forest service, because of the global warming, the massive swarm of pine bark beetles that spawned, and the weakened conditions of the trees due to warmer temperatures and less water. One of the largest sections of Christmas Tree Harvesting the White River National Forest Not, of course, going to affect COMMERCIAL tree-slaughter anytime soon, because the Timber companies have a big lobby and some impressive corporate ties to even MORE corporate lawyers and lobbyists. And they don't give three shits about whether there'll be forests in 50 years. Greedy Bastards is just a good start at describing them and the list gets uglier from there. Then there's the Christmas Tree in Abu Dhabi, UAE. at The Emirates Hotel. 45 feet tall and crusted with 14 MILLION dollars worth of ornaments. Ornaments like watches, necklaces, bracelets, rings... Everything to tickle the fancy of your average Corporate Traveler. Remember the Corporate Partners of the tree-killing industry? Like the Oil industry....
To the so called “Conservatives”: Merry God-Damn Free Market!
You know how the Adam Smith/Reagan/Ayn Rand brainwashed disciples preach that "A rising tide lifts all boats". What they don't mention is the Rich have it rigged so their Wage Slaves can't afford a God-Damn boat. They'll also get some Really Stupid Morons like the TeaBags and any other non-wealthy person Retarded enough to do their bidding, tell the rest of the working class that there actually IS opportunity if only we save enough money from our slave-wage jobs to invest, we'll get a whole $50 a week from our 401k if we work ourselves to death putting millions of times that much in the pockets of the Rich Bitches. All y'all who say otherwise, boy Howdy! The professional liars who work for the Filthy Rich Pigs sure got YOU! Problem is you bastards are too God-Damn DUMB to know it. You'll even voluntarily go to other countries and kill other working class people so your Rich Masters can rob them the same way they rob YOUR dumb asses. They'll even tell you you're fighting for "freedom" and that you're giving the people you're slaughtering an "opportunity" and "civilization" Yeah, you're giving them the opportunity and freedom to be good little Civilized
Violent fight, unholy sight, Machine gun fire lights the night…
screams of the wounded men, writhing in pain. Details work day and night burying the slain.. all their murders done in Christ's Holy Name, Jesus looks down, and He weeps... Jesus looks down and He weeps. Ok, so that story bugs me every year, they tell it ad nauseum, about the British and Germans taking a couple of hours break from slaughtering each other, in the name of God, at the battle of the Somme. From the German trenches comes the melody "Stillich Nacht, Heilig nacht" Then some Tommies in their trenches start singing it in English, more Germans and more Englischers join in... An impromptu Christmas party just congeals in the middle of No Man's Land. They sing songs, exchange gifts, show pictures of their families to one another... And then go right back to slaughtering each other. As you may have guessed, it's time for my annual Christmas on War uncelebration. I go to fetch my e-mail, there's a flash animation of a black Jeep SUK involved in a battle, a dual advertisement because they're also hawking a video "game" called Call of Duty - BlackOps. where the mission apparently is to go in and assassinate as many locals as possible and kidnap their leaders
