The post-partisan America in several decades: driving a POS electric government car at 10 mph, getting stopped by ACORN DHS union thugs every 2 miles to have one's papers, phone cards, waistlines, and drink holders examined, driving to AmeriBank (the only bank in the country, operated by the federal reserve) to deposit skin, hair, and urine specimens (Patriot Act III qualifications to detect evidence of gunpowder exposure, tobacco use, non-diet Pepsi consumption, meat consumption, super-quota diet supplementation, and unlicensed reproductive acts) and withdraw meal credits so as to use at the local UN food dispensary to pick up a monthly allotment of government tofu-cheese and People's Gruel before being shipped off to either Iraq (Overseas Contingency Operation Enduring Pacification, year 46), Sudan (Overseas Contingency Operation Soaringly Enduring Democracy, year 19), or Somalia (Overseas Contingency Operation Enduring Restoration of Hope and Change, year 4) to put on a blue helmet and hold a shovel while being shot at by Kalashnikov-wielding neolithic recipients of (apparently insufficient) US welfare payments - or, if "national service" is refused, before being subjected to government propaganda for 20 hours a day at a level III FEMA reeducation camp until either social conversion is deemed to be achieved or until you are found to be a genetic match and thus involuntary organ donor to the requisite number of protected-class individuals (possibly as low as one, depending upon how many protected groups the individual is a member of) as to justify your demise for their survival (the common good).

No paragraph break needed above - that is all one sentence.

I nominate this for Best Rant of 2009. It's a freakin' masterpiece! Well done!

To which rant I reply in the words of Edgar Friendly:

"I've seen the future. You know what it is? It's a 47-year-old virgin, sitting around in his beige pajamas, drinking a banana-broccoli shake, singing, "I'm an Oscar Meyer wiener.""

Yeah, that was a damn good rant, especially the part about involuntary organ donation.
