Conjugating phrases, sentences and paragraphs

I first noticed bullshit getting a kick in the ass when Pres. Clinton made a statement during the Monica Lewinsky debacle: *“It depends on what the definition of “is” is.

How one can set his mind in gear to think of something as brilliant as that, I’ll never know but that statement was my introduction, my maiden voyage, if you will, listening to political jargon as never before. In my world, his statement was a literary bombshell and it blew my mind. This happened in September, 1998.

So it is with a bit of transferring of knowledge and in the political climate of today, I notice the same manipulative mind set of Pres. Clinton present in the rhetoric justifying a troop build-up in Afghanistan. The logic is so convoluted, so full of bad energies, so ugly and un-attractive.

I deal with the logic by thinking of a person who not only has bad verb **conjugating skills but rather as an individual attempting to conjugate entire phrases, sentences and paragraphs. There are many and shorter names to call what the conjugators are doing but I can tune them out easier by saying to myself, “They repeated the already dumb talking point and now they are trying to conjugate it!” Rachel Maddow handles those kinds of situation well with her guests but then Rachel is more udgeumacated than I and to top it off, she is brilliant!
Confronting that kind of sustained and manipulative logic is what is turning my stomach now-a-days. My stomach has not gotten a moment’s comfort since the vicious Gen. McChrystal Pentagon leaks and subsequent propaganda regarding troop build-ups in Afghanistan. I will always contend the Gaza Strip is the model they are using and also trying to duplicate here in America. In my opinion, the same people are running both countries.

On going to war in Afghanistan, I think about all those people about to die and having to hear media pundits gloat over the facts we are winning and praising Pres. Obama for his courageous decision to make that commitment. It is truly a heart breaker. Color me sad.
