This is Satire

By Richard Klingbiel, (July 18 at 7:23 am)

Thanks for the—negotiating with liberal hypocrits reminder—Richard.

Truth and Reconciliation Hypocrisy is alive and well, ain’t it?


As for the New Yorker Responses | Ten-nis TygerSwan-Links:

This is SatIre:

Sat: Tass: “I am not able to hate in half measures, or to love in half measures, I am not able to give up half my soul. I have either to give up my whole soul or give up nothing.”

Considering the ‘American’ appreciation for my efforts, perhaps ‘soul’ ain’t a concept they consider worthy of honourable recognition.

Perhaps that is the lesson, in the absence of honour, there is no soul? That would certainly add a new perspective to: ‘the dirt of modern life’, wouldn’t it?

What else should I expect from Americans?  Perhaps, what the Middle East has received from Americans?

As for Ire: Considering aforementioned, it would mean ‘this is not an [RU] American story’?

Dropping Bombs:

As for:

The Movement… A Joke from Childhood?

The honky guvmint official showed up on the res, claiming that the tribe had to move again. Coal or oil or uranium had been discovered and the Big Father in Washington needed it.The chief of the tribe, Chief Bowels, listened to the official but was not impressed. Unfortunately the official got confused when Chief Bowels answered simply, “Bowels No Move.”Uncle Sam’s man ran off to get a doctor thinking he had to solve the Chief’s problem, constipation, before he could convince him to move. The doctor gave him his standard laxative but three days later the Chief still insisted, “Bowels No Move.”

If sincere, May I suggest, you put your money, or ‘honour’, where your mouths are!

Considering Senator McCain’s (Robert Mugabe: ‘I found a—Tass—cure for famine’) hand-signals,—according to the New Yorker—that ain’t happening very soon.

What’s new? Certainly not American Foreign Policy, or how it’s perceived, by so many around the world, but that of course is not a concern for most Americans. The only thing that concerns Americans, is how Americans perceive Americans; the rest of the world, be damned.

Part 2:

And how do Americans perceive Americans?

How did they perceive Timothy James McVeigh?

How have American citizens and American officials, perceived my efforts, on behalf of America?

Citizenship? Yeah right!

Plausible Deniability, with a large ‘F**k You’?

So, what would the ‘citizens’ of America, conclude an appropriate response to such ‘appreciation’ should look or sound like?

My response: ‘Let me know when the Oath of Allegiance means anything more to you than simply regurtitated plausible deniability.’

I guess a sincere ‘DS-11 02-2008: Thank You’ from the State Dept. or Homeland Security, was too much to ask.

Makes you wonder, what happened to ‘America, the land of the brave, and home of the free’?

Where did she go?

When did she become the ‘land of gutless two-faced cowards and plausible deniability’?

How many Americans, can say ‘I am proud to be an American.’?

Michelle Obama is more than welcome to being a proud of the ‘land of gutless two-faced cowards and plausible deniability’!

“America The Land of the Provincial and Home of the Naïve.” Indeed!

If American politicians didn’t have the American military, as it’s ‘leverage’, the rest of the world would take American politicians statements as serious as they take those of the homeless in Tahiti, which is how serious I take them. Your words mean nothing, you don’t honour your agreements, your treaties. You think the entire planet is yours to do with as you please, to rape and pillage, and heaven forbid anyone should get pissed off; and then you had the gall, to tell Saddam Hussein, ‘An agreement is an agreement.’ Since when has any agreement with any American politician, meant they have any intention of keeping that agreement. Been there, believed that story; passed the point of ‘beyond reasonable doubt’, quite a while ago; but being one of those ‘overdeveloped sense of justice’ idiots, thought I’d give it a couple of ‘beyond reasonable doubts’, just to make ‘beyond, beyond reasonable doubt’ sure. How many ‘beyond’s are expected?

The maxim, ‘With friends like American politicians, who needs enemies?’ comes to mind. If American politicians are so desperate for more enemies, drop a line to Ft. Detrick, I’m sure they can arrange for a few more Anthrax powder envelopes.

The State Dept. and Homeland Security’s ‘F**k You’ opinions, via THE NEW YORKER, in this matter have been noted: You know how to reach me, if you ever change your minds.

[Anyone for cricket? The New Yorker, bowls ‘yorkers’, Brian Lara would knock to Doomsday and back. The Action Cricket maxim, ‘Don’t ASSUME, you make an ASS out of U and ME, appears relevant: Since I’ve been the State Dept’s plausible deniable ‘embarassment’, who cares, if they now consider me a plausible deniable ‘ass’. I don’t. Why should I care what a bunch of homeless Haitians masquerading as ‘An agreement is an agreement’ allegedly honourable American politicians think? Pentagon ‘leverage’? The Pentagon is more than welcome to tell me to shut up, or to put a bullet through my brain, whenever they want. No problem.]
