"America, the Greatest Country God ever gave Man, was built on three bedrock principles: Freedom. Liberty. And Fear — that someone might take our Freedom and Liberty. But now, there are dark, optimistic forces trying to take away our Fear — forces with salt and pepper hair and way more Emmys than they need. They want to replace our Fear with reason. But never forget — “Reason” is just one letter away from “Treason.” Coincidence? Reasonable people would say it is, but America can’t afford to take that chance.
So join The Rev. Sir Dr. Stephen T. Colbert, D.F.A. on October 30th for the “March to Keep Fear Alive“™ in Washington DC. Pack an overnight bag with five extra sets of underwear — you’re going to need them. Because, to Restore Truthiness we must always… Shh!!! What’s that sound?! I think there’s someone behind you! Run!"
Sadly, we don't really need to march with Stephen to ensure that we poop in our pantaloons out of fear of what is, and probably will be, happening to this country. Florida is on the verge of helping push America back to the stone age...the age of Bush/Cheney incompetence and fear mongering.
Rick Scott, who probably should be in a prison, will most likely be residing in the governor's mansion.The fiscally irresponsible Marco Rubio will probably head off to Washington to help his brother's-in-arms do everything possible to bring down Obama and return the country to the glory days of the Bush presidency.
Closer to home, state Senate candidate Jim Norman is back on the ballot after having been removed due to ethics violations. It's just a rhetorical question, but don't we have enough crooks in the Florida legislature?
The Republican Party has repeatedly stated that government is the problem and they want American voters to put them back in office so they can prove it. Now that is some scary stuff!
In his recent column in the St. Pete Times, Thomas Friedman stated, "A dysfunctional political system is one that knows the right answers but can't even discuss them rationally, let alone act on them, and one that devotes vastly more attention to cable TV preachers than to recommendations by its best scientists and engineers."
No, I don't need Colbert and his march to scare the crap out of me. The Teabaggers and the Republican Party are doing just fine on their own. My Halloween horror nightmare is a future America with President Sarah Palin and Vice President Christine O'Donnell at the helm.
Oh my, I need to change my underwear.
