Old media, Old political party, Old hippies
June 3, 2003 | Hiram Wheeler

The Old media, the old political party, and the old hippies are all a dying breed. June 1, 2004

Democrats of all stripes have outlived their usefulness. Assuming that they actually had any usefulness to America in the first place. Remember, this is the party that didn’t want Lincoln to go to war, and were ready to cede the South from the Union (and therefore to slavery), being that most southerners were Democrats anyway. The term for the anti-war Democrats, especially in the North, was Copperheads, and I think we aught to resurrect that term today. These “Peace Democrats” were opposed to the war and were intent on accepting a negotiated peace with the South resulting in an independent Confederate States of America. Of course, they would have also been accepting the Confederate’s Constitutionality of slavery without putting up a fight, but when has the humanity of any other human on Earth ever been the actual concern of a Democrat?

Their entire leadership is cranky, undereducated, self-centered, drunk, botoxed, and out-of-touch with the modern 21st Century world. (Sidebar: speaking of out-of-touch, have you seen the cover picture of “Hillary” on her book, and the recent portrait painting of her? Sheeesh, talk about out of touch. /End Sidebar.) Democrats have recently become like the old man in his tattered robe and torn slippers standing on the porch shaking a newspaper at the kids to get off his lawn. Their youngest leader is a junior senator, The HildeBeast, now pushing 60.

The rat party has no new ideas, no motivation, no creativity, no solutions. These old jackasses offer nothing but socialism by the shovel full. There simply isn't any new blood coming into the rat party to pick up the hammer and sickle.

Their hippie followers are no better. They cannot cope with the new 21st century - the rules of war, fast economics, strong independence, and high-speed information from the Internet, but most of their brains are too fried to understand anyway. They babble on, at tired rallies, using trite chants, holding up signs scrawled on by a 4 year old, while drooling on their tie-dyed shirts, dreaming about the 60's when they could engage in free sex, commune arrangements, socialism, and riots. Time, and the invention of the taser, has fairly well taken care of their desire to riot. Now they are fat, stupid, old, lazy, bitchy and miserable. Oh, and repulsive, especially to the younger generation.

The Old Media is taking some hard hits, too. Their slanted brainwashing tactics are not working so well anymore with the New Media in place and entrenched permanently in our lives and in their former domain. Even the queen of the morning, Katie Couric, is getting awfully cranky with her beloved party out of power for the foreseeable future and her enemy guests armed with solid up the minute facts. Have you seen her lately? The crows feet around her mouth now match the other end of her digestive tract, which we got to see on live TV a few years ago in a clinic. The New Media, comprised mainly of AM radio and the Internet, contains a who’s who list of all the enemies of the Old Media propaganda machine. Using real-time interactive discussion, volunteer on-the-scene eyewitness journalists, amateur photographers with the ability to post photos and movie clips, up to the minute reporting, and instant fact checking, the New Media is what’s HOT. Newspapers and TV are so last-millennium.

ABCCBSNBCCNNMSNBC are losing market share. Slowly yes, but still losing. And their last hero candidate, Al Gore, who even managed to lose his own home state of Tennessee in 2000, goes on a maniacal, socialist, nutball rant last month (another Sidebar: question for you rats – what have the Democrats of Tennessee learned about Al Gore since they elected him Senator that the rest of you Democrats are too stupid to understand? /End Sidebar). The Democrat’s last president is an impeached, dis-barred, lying, perjuring, cheating, lazy, cowardly sexual predator - and the feminazis don’t even blink. University graduation classes are energetically booing and heckling the guest speakers who have bashed Bush. The rat's campaign contributions are down to a trickle. Mike Wallace desperately grasps for an opportunity at the dedication of the WWII memorial to bash Bush and winds up being heckled and booed and making a lot of new enemies and later having to defend his actions. NY Times and other papers across the country are losing sales at a faster pace, and their editorial boards are being so strongly tormented on the Internet with facts and biting counter opinion that they have to coerce judges and force non-profit Internet sites to intervene to stop all this uncontrolled political discourse. Fair Use be damned, as any good socialist would shout.

These stories of the liberal’s last desperate dying gasps of air as their ship sinks should be heralded as great news. They have lasted long enough. It’s time to put them in a nursing home. The major democrat strongholds, all three of them, are finished.

They just don’t understand why they are losing so badly on every front. Both of their flagship attempts at using the New Media have been stinking up the joint. Air America on radio, and Salon.com on the Internet are dying, and both are taking party money down with them. BTW, You don’t hear the Democrats talking about that wonderful Information SuperHighway anymore like they did in the mid 90’s do you?

All that is "left" of them are old, tired blood and radical socialists. They are stuck in the last Millennium, the 60’s to be specific. They have aborted over 30 million of their own children who could have picked up the slack. They have driven down all their constituents by telling them that they couldn’t make it without Democrat protection, those constituent groups who could have been successful otherwise and would have been here now to pick up their hammers and sickles.

It is an interesting kismet how the conversion to FM radio format in the late 60's killed AM radio as a music format over a 10-15 year period. Its availability then happened to be a perfect format for the most popular talk show host of all time, Rush Limbaugh. And it's also deliciously satisfying that the Internet was created by the rabid socialist Al Gore. He created his own Frankenstein.

If the last 12 years of their demise is any indicator, my guess is that the rat party will collapse in on itself in the next 20 years and become a white dwarf. To fill the void, the Republican Party will split into a fiscal conservative party and a social conservative party.

Like watching an obvious movie where you can already predict the ending, this will be an enjoyable few years, as the rats try to figure out how to stop from going down the tube while stuck in a spiral, swirling in the bowl.

Old hippies is right on! Liberals are mainly old hippies who had their intellectual development arrested when they started doing their trippy drugs.

Didn't Gore promise during the 2000 campaign that he'd have every school in America hooked up to the Internet? HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!

Ain't that the truth. It was fun reading some of the better amatuer rants, you get more of a sense of the author's thoughts than in an article that's been edited to death.
