What do white trash red necks drink now?

InBev

InBev

So white trash rednecks used to drink Budweiser beer. But what do they drink now that Budweiser is no longer an American Beer? In 2008 Anheuser-Busch sold the majority of their stock to Belgian-Brazilian beer giant InBev. So inbred rednecks have had a few years to decide what to get drunk with. I know they hate microbrews, but at least microbrews are made in America. Want an American made beer? Then a microbrew is pretty much your only choice now. Sure they could sober up but we all know there is no way that will happen. So what do they drink? Do they continue to drink Budweiser and lie to themselves that it is an American beer? Is it a “Don’t confuse me with the facts” kind of thing? It’s like Christian Republicans calling Liberals “bleeding hearts” without a clue as to how that comes across. Wait, aren’t Christians supposed to be the compassionate ones? So why are “Those hippie liberals” called “bleeding hearts” then? These things keep me up at night. How can these people not see how RETARDED these things make them look? Yes, I could mention that whole Sarah Palin thing, but why bother?

The real point of this blog post is actually about the state of political debates and jokes in today’s era. Other than say Jon Stewart, most people are using recycled jokes that make no real point at all. I have a friend on Facebook that does this all the time. There was this joke told where a liberal friend told this joke…

The Pope and Glenn Beck are on the same stage in front of a huge crowd. The Pope leans towards Mr. Beck and said, “Do you know that with one little wave of my hand I can make every person in this crowd go wild with joy ? This joy will not be a momentary display, like that of your followers, but go deep into their… hearts and they’ll forever speak of this day and rejoice!” Glenn replied, “I seriously doubt that. With one little wave of your hand? Show me.” So the Pope slapped him.

Now if you hate Glenn Beck that joke might be funny, but it is a perfect example of what is wrong with political humor now. There is no facts. It’s all spin. This exact same joke was told by a conservative friend only days later.

The Pope and Nancy Pelosi are on the same stage in front of a huge crowd. The Pope leans towards Mrs. Pelosi and said, “Do you know that with one little wave of my hand I can make every person in this crowd go wild with joy ? This joy will not be a momentary display, like that of your followers, but go deep into their… hearts and they’ll forever speak of this day and rejoice!” Pelosi replied, “I seriously doubt that. With one little wave of your hand? Show me.” So the Pope slapped her.

Piss on 'em!

Ok, so we hate them and they hate us and no one should ever listen to the other side? Do I get it now? This is the mentality of America when it comes to politics. Because of this no debate can happen. This is why we will never have

At one point he asked a child what they wanted to be when they grew up. The child said they wanted to be president. Then he asked the child what the first thing they would do if they were president. The child said they would feed the homeless and provide them with homes. So he said that he would pay the child to pull weeds all day and do other hard labor yard work so they could then give the money to a local homeless guy. The child asked why the homeless man couldn’t get a job himself. He then told this child “Welcome to the Republican party”. Now not only is that a massive twist of what the two political parties are about, but that kind of entrapment wouldn’t even be allowed in a court of law! Her lawyer would be objecting left and right! And for good reason too. It’s a twisting of facts. Do all liberals think an entire pay check should be given up to charity? Of course not and I would bet money my friend knows this. He just thought it would be cute or funny to mess with this child’s head. Of course that child is easier to debate with. It’s easy to corner them like he did.

I have a feeling that this type of twisting of facts comes from watching too much Fox News. They are the kings of twisting facts to fit their marketing agenda. Of course MSNBC is close behind for the liberal side. News is becoming less about facts and journalism and more about placating to one side or the other. Now I don’t know if this watering down of journalism came first or if America’s “Don’t confuse me with the facts” mentality came first. Either way it seems to have started around the time when Bush was trying to sell us the Iraq war. It was sold to us that if you were against the war in Iraq that you were against the troops. Ignore the fact that many of the solders over there were against the war as well, but had to follow orders despite their personal beliefs. They sold us the idea that to be a patriot meant to never question our leaders. Ignore the fact that this country was founded on the idea of the people questioning their leaders. This “Don’t confuse me with the facts” mentality has even gone so far as questioning our presidents citizenship, birthplace, and legal right to even be president! Now as I’ve said, I encourage the questioning of our leaders. It’s the patriotic thing to do. However, when those questions have been answered it’s time to move on to the next question. I gave someone a link to a Snopes article on this and they questioned Snopes! They might as well have said “Don’t confuse me with the facts!”

My real worry is that we are getting to the point where we can’t even recognize the facts when they are presented. Opinion and fact are blurring together. After I finish thinking about this, I ask myself What do I drink now?”
