(...and you don't even realize it)
Maybe I should have called it quits with the whole Teabagger issue,if not at least for my own sanity. However, I admit my sanity was never found
and therefore cannot be lost. Knowing that such ignoramus beliefs exists
in this world, in my country, on my Facebook friends list,
is just too disturbing for me to put down the pen* for. It's literally something I lose sleep over at night, and it should be reason for you to lose sleep also.
The fact that said regressive ideas are (somewhat) unabashedly funded by
none other than the devil incarnate Koch family,
incites an apparently inextinguishable rage inferno within me.
I am Lacy's inextinguishable rage inferno,
similar to Kuwaiti oil fields circa 1991, minus dromedary camels
If you listen closely, you can whimpers of Koch brothers crying at the sight of this.

They always catch you with your mouth wide open in shock and awe of them regurgitating such ignorant, often bigoted, rhetoric.
That's how they get you...
proof you can find pictures of anything on the internet.
My last run-in with a Teabagger did prove to be an enlightening experience in one way. The discourse went something like this:
Teabagger:" Second, you may not like the tea party but at least someone is looking out
for this country. Obama is killing us. I am just tired of people who don't work, but want/
expect someone else to pay for their lifestyle."
for this country. Obama is killing us. I am just tired of people who don't work, but want/
expect someone else to pay for their lifestyle."
Lacy: "...Fuck you, you selfish bastard."
The enlightening element of this conversation is that it evidences the Teabagger's fear of a faceless mob of LAZY persons led by none other than the POTUS:
Get off your lazy ass and do something, Barry!

Mobb Deep, Quiet Storm
However, we all know it's quite ludicrous to fear a mob of angry potheads,
so Teabaggers have conveniently utilized Libertarian philosophy to be able to
"flip a bitch" on that subject, citing they support the legalization of marijuana
because it's key in the fight for "freedom" and individual rights.
And who in their right minds wants to be against freedom,
or even worse, smoking pot?!
Um, what was I originally talking about?
I somehow got off on a freedom of weed smoking tangent and forgot my main point!
Ah yes...
The Teabagger's fear of the illusive but apparently omnipresent threat of lazy,
angry mobs. (which does not include potheads?)

The ignorance of Teabaggers that blinds them into seeing the true motivation of the Koch's fear-mongering, is quite depressing. It's not lazy masses that are the enemy of big business, it's the un-lazy, fully informed masses. Maybe, the Teabaggers are themselves victims. Koch Industries' fear appears to be that the un-lazy, informed masses will become convinced it's a "Bad thing" (an understatement) for KI to continue to do what they already do. That is, reap infinite profit for themselves (the Aristocracy) by raping the planet of of its natural resources, and selling the refined product back to the plebeian citizenry at whatever cost they deem their "invisible" hand deems the right price. No doubt, the Koch's have a brilliant idea... transfer (while distorting) their own fear to a portion of the masses who are quite obviously already easily manipulated by fear. Despite being poor, I'm not stupid, (thanks luck & internet!) and I know that money can buy lots of things in this world, including genius marketing minds (propagandists).

unless they have too much education and vote Democratic,
which proves there can be too much of a good thing." ~ Karl Rove
By allowing the group (Teabaggers) do their dirty work, Koch (and all big business) is able to quash the threat of the illusive lazy mob who are calling for Koch-heads to roll.
A Koch bottle cap, and De-capitation device for a bottle of Koch
The great tragedy of all of this this that although it is being sold as one, this is not a Koch Zero sum game. (Oh, how I love corny pun fun!) Aristocratic rule does not secure liberty for anyone, with the exception of the aristocracy. DUR.
The great irony is that Teabaggers do not realize they cannot lose something they never had; The power of the invisible hand. Koch Industries has (successfully lubricated with petroleum jelly) a (not so) invisible hand up their ass, puppeteering their every move.

The more complex societies get and the more complex the networks of interdependence within and beyond community and national borders get, the more people are forced in their own interests to find non–zero-sum solutions. That is, win-win solutions instead of win-lose solutions.... Because we find as our interdependence increases that, on the whole, we do better when other people do better as well — so we have to find ways that we can all win, we have to accommodate each other....

Koch will be forced to foot the bill for the significant amount of plastic surgery to recover their image. Unfortunately, in the end I fear we all will have to foot the bill, because their ugly visage could be considered by some, a preexisting condition.
If you haven't recently been living under a Luddite rock, (I suppose obviously not if you're reading this) you'll know of Mr. Russell Brand's recent call for a Revolution.
His argument is passionate and intelligent, and I concur with his argument that shit is way out of hand due to upon massive inequality and corruption.
However, I don't necessarily think that a Revolution answer,
but rather, maybe a Renaissance.
In my next post, I'll further posit that we've already made steps in the direction of an American Renaissance and how a Renaissance might be able to save us from the petrifying prospect of Koch Industries successfully fracking the planet and teabagging American democracy to death.
Oh, and I like to keep my word when I promise to do something.
So, as promised last week, I will now diss Beyonce:
Beyonce, you named your world tour the Mrs. Carter tour.
Enough said.
