22. The real and imaginary complex domain of politics
Fri Mar 28, 2014, 03:29 AM
Mar 2014

There is an unholy element to current events in politics besides being a real Democrat and an imaginary Democrat, or the same for Republicans being real or imaginary.

Imaginary Democrats being called Blue dogs, or simply bought off creepy types that sell out to the best lobby bidder. Or Republican Rhino’s that sell out for more of the same. It’s no wonder

We have Pandora politics of third kind the third element in that candidates like McCain offer up Palin imaginations, or Bush with his horn mountain top bugler for smoking out the enemy dead or alive, Perry who worries about his boots in debates, all of them dance around the complex plane appearing as half man and half new age political peter pan.

Modern Journalism in hate radio, and cable relentlessly dumb down the electorate in those rhetorical perversions called political zoophobia. From my view this animal political essence of bestiality invites notions in role playing like “The eight canine heroes of the House of Satomi “. Suggestions as these could be physiological fiction, but incredibly passionate. That is a one percent tool to sift out chaos confusion while tapping the treasury.
