RAGING CONTROVERSY OVER A RECENT POST

Mascot FOUR original pics

Balladeer’s Blog

Here at Balladeer’s Blog I criticize both American Liberals and American Conservatives. At this particular point in history the Liberals are so self-infatuated and are so pompous they are even MORE fun to ridicule than Christian Conservatives used to be. 

I’ve been getting bombarded with emails from Liberals expressing their usual outrage when other people don’t praise them the way they praise themselves constantly. The cause for this most recent storm was my examination of how Aristophanes’ comedy The Birds could be adapted to fit the present day. Does it deserve THIS much outrage? TO JUDGE FOR YOURSELF CLICK HERE

BLOATED RICH PIGS AND YOU

MASCOT SABRE POSE 2

Dystopia? You’re living in it!

All around the Western World and for decades now, bloated rich pigs and their bought & paid for flunkies in the political class have been using the rest of us as whipping boys for THEIR failed policies. They and theirs continue to screw up the world and screw the people of the world and every election cycle they preach to us more loudly about how it’s OUR fault, not theirs.

The ultimate irony is that it was the political left that gave the blueprint for modern oppression to the wealthy elites they used to oppose. The ridiculous notion of the Collective Guilt of the Western World was the best thing that ever happened to the rich and the powerful. I’ll buy that the bloated rich pigs and the political class should have borne the guilt and shouldered the blame, but regular citizens?

Uh, yeah, like it’s the Archie Bunkers who ruled the world of the past, not the George Soroses and the Koch Brothers. Wealthy and/or blue-blooded familes like the Bushes and the Pelosis have gotten a pass, sort of like Death Camp administrators who escaped and lived large in South America while German citizens absorbed the anger of the world. (Remember, Godwin’s Law pussies don’t impress me so don’t bother citing it.)

Mascot with demo and repub heads

The symbol of the nonexistent Balladeer Political Party

The Working Class – yes even the white ones, you “White Privilege” fanatics – never had the money or the power to “oppress” anyone. But the Working Class, who suffered under the yoke of bloated rich pigs and politicians EVEN DURING THE TIME PERIOD WHEN WE’RE TOLD WHITE PEOPLE RULED THE WORLD – now CONTINUE to suffer under the yoke of the rich and powerful but also get lectured and talked down to as if they are to blame for the abuses that those elites inflicted on the world in the past and present.

For Working Class white people and Working Class black people to engage in hostility toward each other is a monumental waste of time that will do NOTHING to improve the lot of either of them. How ironic that the wealthy ultimately co-opted Marxism and used it as the latest lash to whip their victims and all it took was the irrational concept that ALL people of the Western World bore collective guilt for colonialism, war, racism and economic inequality.

DO THESE “QUESTION AUTHORITY” DWEEBS QUESTION ALL AUTHORITY?

question-all-authority.jpg (352×431)Just about everybody is familiar with Timothy Leary’s encouragement to “Question Authority” but several of the faux rebels who sport those two words on T-Shirts or bumper stickers or screen savers don’t seem to live up to them.

The expression should be modified to “Question ALL Authority” regardless of their political affiliation. Question authority would mean:

# Question everything your teachers tell you. Teachers are part of the forces of conformity in any society and should NEVER be trusted to tell the truth.

# Question every political officeholder and every candidate for those offices. Those people are seeking the power to inflict their will upon you and have the full apparatus of the government as a club to beat you over the head with.

# Question the clergy of ALL religions. Such people often put blind faith in a collection of irrational absurdities. Continue reading

SEVENTY-TWO YEAR OLD GROUCH YELLS AT PEOPLE TO STOP PLAYING THAT LOUD MUSIC

Mick Jagger old

“Back in MYYYYYYY DAYYYY younger people listened to their elders when they told them what to do … well, actually, that’s not true, either.”

There’s nothing new about really old white guys yelling at younger people to knock off playing that loud music. Some old-timer named Michael Philip Jagger – age 72 – took a break from worrying about his prostate, his wrinkling gums and his brittle bones to holler and complain that some people younger than he is have to stop playing Rolling Stones music.

Thanks to the internet we can all look up how the person who wrote Daddy Wouldn’t Buy Me A Bow-Wow in 1892 was taken seriously when they yelled at people in the 1940s … Oh, that’s right. They weren’t. Anyway, this old codger Michael and his entire generation will soon be shuffling off this mortal coil, leaving the world in the hands of younger people with fresh ideas. People not bound to the way things were over 50 years ago.  Continue reading
