Progressives: Rage is our Bread and Butter!

User avatar
[img]/images/Limbaugh_Tomb_Individual.jpg[/img]
Just today the bushwah propagandist Rush Limbaugh said with regards to Sen. Schumer that he can't understand how someone who is so successful and has always had a good, comfortable life can be so perpetually enraged at everything that happens.

Obviously Mr. Limbaugh should re-educate himself by reading the comments of our very own Chairman Punchenko, or Meow as we call him in the Politburo.

Chairman Punchenko is an affluent and powerful apparatchik whose affluence and power derive precisely from his exceptional ability to become enraged in split second at any issue that presents him a chance to gain more affluence and power. It is an acquired acting skill that he constantly perfects here at the Cube, helping us to stage Progressive Morality Plays such as the most recent one (read the comments).

Sen. Schumer is but Chairman Punchenko's humble student, of which I'm always reminded every time said Senator gets his panties in a bunch.

Shame on Mr. Limbaugh for not reading each and every post on the People's Cube from top to bottom, with all the comments!

Do you not mean Rage is our Bread and Suet?... I believe we are hoardin... I mean managing our inventory of butter in anticipation of a particularly cold winter and so have had to institute rationin... I mean Lean Manufacturing and Distribution policies... something Propagandist Limbaugh should well understand as they are but a facet of the Kapitalist Thoughtcrime known as Kaizen - or Continual Improvement... an undertaking that cannot but lead to competition... Peh!

Perhaps Chairman Punchenko's next Progressive Morality play might address this potential source of idealogical temptation for the kollektive's workers. Although we are brought by the necessity of market forces beyond our control (but most certainly within the power of such Robber Barons as Thoughtcriminal $.$. Halliburton who is most certainly behind this latest shortage - and his friend, Propagandist Limbaugh) to institute such practises, we must make it clearly understood that they are inkorrekt in the extreme, and that any 'urge' a prole may experience to undertake improvement, continual or otherwise, can only be construed as competition, and therefore cause for immediate presentation to the firin... I mean immediate re-edukation...

Butter! not Bliss!
Bread! not Brotherhood!
OLIO! NOT OLIVE BRANCHES!
RAGE! NOT RESTRAINT!
SISTER MASSIVELY OPIATED!!!

But butter is fattening! That would go against our healthy lifestyle position of forcing people to eat plastic fruit and estrogen enriched soy products. It should say "Rage is our Whole Wheat Bread and all Natural Fruit Jam". We need to remember that one of our major party goals is to starve the people into submission. Once they look like those models that haven't eaten since childhood, we will be able to force them to our will using only pieces of bread. It will be like feeding ducks at the pond, but with the ducks actually contributing something.

User avatar
Yes yes... but remember, the point was to refute Propagandist Limbaugh and justify our dear Chairman's seemingly constant and unprovoked Rage... it matters not one wit what this means for the proles, given the complete and utter disconnect between what Meow does for Meow and for the Party, and the ideological well-being of the Proles... granted, Betty, you are of course utterly correct, but starving Proles into submission so that they may be controlled as easily as waterfowl is beside the point of what Meow does and why he does it... which is to Rage for the betterment of the Party... and what the betterment of the Party has to do with the Proles, I just don't see.... But perhaps it is that I'm simply too tired after a very long day...

Certainly, one cannot argue that Meow's Rage on behalf of the Politburo keeps us all in bread and butter, regardless of what we actually share with anyone else... and that is as it should be, no?... It is exactly as Our Glorious Red Square, the People's Dictator states... "Chairman Punchenko is an affluent and powerful apparatchik whose affluence and power derive precisely from his exceptional ability to become enraged in split second at any issue that presents him a chance to gain more affluence and power. "... Betty - this is for the benefit of the Party, the Politburo, and ulitmately, Meow himself... what the Poeple have to do with it is beyond me...

What are they teaching you in Junior College?... I didn't know you were going to Berkley...

User avatar
I have no argument against Meow's thoroughly useful and completely justified rage at all my argument was about the state of starvation we are trying to put Amerikkka in and how it is hard to do so if we continue to use outdated and politically incorrect "common" sayings.

I have no doubt that Meow's anger towards matters that have absolutely nothing to do with him or anything that even remotely affects him is greatly beneficial to the party, and I just hope that I may learn to use my anger in conjunction with the Dark Side of the Force as well as he does.

And let's not forget another aspect to rage: It's fun being pissy. Just plain fun, and what good being <i>un Membre de Partie en Good Standing</i>--cue "Internationale"--if we can't just be pissy.

Why can't we all just get pissy together? What's wrong with pissy?

And I like whining, too. It's fun to whine. Sometimes I just like to curl up with a good Ellen Goodman column and whine away the night, hugging myself in a fetal position, with an eye on the heavens that I'm sure will fall on me because of the Terror.

Damn. I broke a fingernail. It's Jenna Bush's fault. She has better fingernails than I do.

I'm going to take my <s>football</s> soccer ball and go home.

<img src="https://www.ukrainianart.nl/Gallery/Glu ... width="250" height="250" align=left hspace=6>I have to disagree most firmly Premier. We must present to the world a proletarian that is big and pleasingly plump from the fruits of their labors *can hardly keep from spewing the monitor writing that*, while at the same time comparing them to the shallow face, rib exposed "models" that the capitalist west idealizes.

Take this excellent example of healthy living in a workers paradise. No, we should encourage as many empty calories as possible, for it is less a drain on state resources, and their hard work will keep them from getting too obese.

His act pales compared to the masterful puppet show put on by Bush and his puppet Gen Prateaus on Congress Central today. At least some of our brave comrades from Code Pink were there to point this out.

I denounce you, Betty and Pupovich, for using the People's Computers for Personal Pleasure. They are for promoting Peace for the People, brought to you by the Party. YouTube is not permitted, unless it is to show videos of people having sex with tractors, that is, having sex ON tractors. Or Mr. Reno caressing a tractor's tail pipe.

I denounce you. I denounce you. I denounce you.

You are denounced under Sharia law.

FOR THE LOVE OF DARWIN! No one told me this thread existed OR it had a direct reference to *me*. Am I outraged that I didn't get the memo about this thread?? Yes, BET YOUR ASS I'M OUTRAGED! I'm outraged that my mouse - which is a solid gold optical mouse - does not work because the batteries are dead. And why are the batteries dead, you ask??? THE BATTERIES ARE DEAD BECAUSE WE ARE IN AN ILLEGAL AND IMMORAL WAR FOR BLOOD AND OIL AND I CAN'T GO OUT RIGHT NOW TO GET MORE BECAUSE TO DO SO WOULD CONTRIBUTE MORE TO GLOBAL WARMING WHICH IS ALL BUSH'S FAULT!!!! That it why I'm outraged... that and of course me having to use the touchpad which is slow and burdensome. I can't check everything if I can't move my mouse, point and click... I can't do it and I'm very disappointed in everyone for not sending me a memo. Very disappointed!

I can assure you that I tried to send a memo... I have it here somewhere, but the batteries that finally arrived 3 days late that I ordered from Comrade Tankograd were leaking what appeared to be beet juice that had been substituted for the acid, and so had to resort to using a 87 year old prole and a hand crank generator.

User avatar
Meow. So glad to see you're well. I had feared that you were somewhat indisposed from the gift of South Texas oranges that I sent. I found the best that I could, bought from a little old woman in the mesquite wood around Harlingen. She assured me that it would be the best thing that you ever put in your mouth.

...Bruno! WTF? Just what bruja did you use <i>this</i> time? Haven't I told you never to go to Tencha? You know she uses those phony Senteria priests!

User avatar
Pupovich - Just be sure to pocket that 87-year-old prole woman's SS check before putting her to work... can't have them sucking the teat forever, you know... not when there are other things we can do with that money.

Theocritus - I never got any damn oranges to begin with. First off, I never accept strange fruit in my Dacha unless it is there to redecorate or have a photoshoot with whatever starving super-model I happen to be...errhmmm... "revolutionizing".

Secondly, the only thing I recieve in the mail from Texas is whatever housemaid "the agency" sends me to clean my toliets and scrub my floors... which, come to think of it, the last one they sent me suffocated in the box because they filled the damn thing with too many packaging peanuts.

So no, never got the oranges and if I did I probably gave them to my neighbors... along with the housemaid of course, I told them she was a decorative preserved mummy dug up in France and how she would make a great conversation piece.... I think they stuck her next to the gardener "the agency" also sent me who had an unfortunate accident with a rake I left face up in the yard... once again, dug up in France and what a great conversation blah blah blah you get the point.

Oh, you can be sure of that Chairman, for what need does she have for her SS check seeing how I do feed her the standard prole diet for senior citizens... boiled beets (she has no teeth) and she is allowed to sleep in the barn.

Great Stalin's Ghost! I had no idea what a "Hummel" was till tonight, and was I so disappointed to find out! I had thought a Hummel was some weapon, or perhaps an aide for "tension reduction" so to speak. Imagine my horror to discover that you collect such things. Try as I might, I was unable to find even one progressive Hummel. Say it ain't so Chairman!

User avatar
Oh. My god. I was in a fugue for hours. Empress, why did you do that to me? I had visions of cottaging with Richard Simmons in a tin shed while Michael Flatley was dancing on the roof.

Richard Gere came in and started throwing gerbils and Tom Cruise was batting them with copies of <i>Dyanetics</i>. But the worst was Bonnie Fwank, who was talking in his toothless, paralyzed-upper-lip way.

Oh, the humanity, or lack of it. Empress, have I not massaged your leviathan thighs with my finest unguents? Have I not spent a half million on therapy after I let you "amuse" yourself with Bruno and the Hildo Hydra 7.1? (And that doesn't count the cost of the stitches and he was out action for quite a while.)

I've sacrificed and sweated for you, Empress, and I hold no one dearer. So why did you do that to me?

...Bruno, Bill told me that after two good throws she has to soak her arm for a day in Epsom salts before she can hit the side of the barn. While she's defenseless, get out the chainsaw. I know where some of those abandoned copper mines in Terlinguq were and I'll put a stop to this NOW...Bruno! Bruno! You're holding a gun on me! It looks like, Hillary's gun! Bruno! Bruno!

Bruno, Meow's having a conniption fit again. Where is the Magic Prole Juice that we concocted out of the pituitary glands of the comely ones he so fancied the last time he was at Rancho del Rio Grande?

Pour Meow a shot of that and he'll settle down. Remember last time he purred like a kitten and slept for three days. And remember that's when Our Empress stole the tattoo on his chest. He always wondered how that went away.

Laika, Betty may have bad dreams, in his terms, putting an egg beater in his brain to get out the memory of some of the images which you have so kindly sent his way but I hope that I can finish this before I go into insulin shock.

Where is Our Many Titted Empress when she was beaning Meow and his Hummels? I'd rather be knocked out and be surrounded by surreal visions of dancing BEQs, with feather boas and fake Streisand noses belting out "Memories" while Cher humps herself on a cannon while other dancing queens prance to "If I Could Turn Back Time." That cannon, by the way, was what gave Our Empress the idea for the Hildo 1.0.

You can have the BEQs.

He bites the end off a submarine and sucks out the seamen.

I believe you are confusing Theorctius' submarine with the imperialists Iowa class battleships. Given his story, I can only assume he was referring to the Los Angles class USS San Francisco.... https://www.navybuddies.com/ssn/ssn711.htm

Ok, I have got to say it, I hate both of you Theocritus and Laika. Throcritus - for meantioning anything about this song to begin with. Laika - for transmitting it to my tin foil hat. Now I have yet another song that I am forced to "buy" from a kapitlast online store.

Oh well, I found out that I can get my music for free by making one kaptilst kompany pay another for *me*.

He, he, steal my money no more you evil scum bags! Here your majesty, the money that I would have spent on music, but instead it goes to you because of my kunning.

I should get a medal for this.

I may have to check that out, but it sure sounds like a slower download and limited transfers. I never use Windows Player anymore. For some reason it is incredibly slow loading on my computer, from the moment I got it out the box.

User avatar
Folks, iTunes is the 3rd biggest music distributor on earth--after WalMart and Best Buy. But Jobs, being Jobs, wants it to play in an iPod. But it will play on your computer, and you can have it authorized on up to five computers at a time. And if you want that song, it's 99c.

I'm told their popular coverage is excellent--the classics though suck. But that doesn't bother me for I have rather decent speakers and don't want compression, and anyway if I'm interested I may get several different versions to compare. For example, I have three sets of the Mozart piano concerti--possibly the best set of music ever written--and there are times that only one will do.


User avatar
I refuse to use iTunes any more. I have had it on and off my computer several times. It is an incredibly invasive program IMHO. In fact, I don't even have Quicktime on my computer for the same reason any more since I found a freebie program that plays Quicktime files. I have an mp3 player, and yes, if you chant the correct rituals, you can change an iTune file into mp3, but I kept forgetting the proper sequence. Besides, it so much more progressive to simply get what you want from google.

User avatar
Hmmm. I see that some Necro-proxy has stolen a post that I did in the past, one which was of such illumination and sagacity that I can laugh at Coleridge. Had it survived, it would now be noticed as <i>the</i> definitive study on musicology, and would require an entire edition of Grove's for explication, written by a team on bended knees.

I believe that the music is not Mozart but Carl Orff's <i>Carmina Burana</i>, which is one of those pieces which fits into listen-to-twice-a-decade. Lush, ornate, somewhat pretentious, and plundered for evocations of foreboding in movies starting with, insofar as I can tell, <i>The Omen</i>. Something that it shares with the better-written "Alexander Nevsky," I believe, by Prokovieff.

But Betty, you were pulling my leg. But then you want to listen to Cher. Why must you torment me?

Since Sister wants to denounce someone, I may have to denounce you. Is anyone up for a nice heart-warming round of denouncing Betty?

I have yet to sign up for it, but from what I have read, it looks as if the only thing that is required is that you log in once a month, otherwise, the music will stop working.

I do not use Windows media, not that much anway, either. I prefer WinAmp because of its bulit-in equalizer.

I have an mp3 player, and yes, if you chant the correct rituals, you can change an iTune file into mp3, but I kept forgetting the proper sequence.

Yea, the only method that I know of is buring a CD, which, I do not think so. I try to keep my mind open, espically when it comes to computers, but I do not ever think that I will go with an Ipod. I do not like devices that will only work with one thing.

Theocritus wrote:Since Sister wants to denounce someone, I may have to denounce you. Is anyone up for a nice heart-warming round of denouncing Betty?

Sounds good to me! Betty! You are denounced for posting this video! Reason number 1! The music. 2! By showing people competing! I mean really! This is Bush's fualt that they are dying! If there was proper socialism, then there would not be any races to go to. We would all be at our safe little factories with machines that cut, crush, and smash.

User avatar
But, but....

Crap.

In my defense, I plead that those who were competing got their just reward. And when I downloaded Carmina Burana, it said it was by Mozart. I play the ignorant card!

Fine how about a video with a friendly multicultural song that everyone learns in the fine learning institutions that are publik skools.

User avatar
Not to worry, Betty; it couldn't have been Mozart. Not his style nor in his oeuvre. Much too flashy and moody and, well, vulgar for Wolfgang, who had exquisite taste. This is overblown, blowsy, and pretentious. But fun.

You're not the only victim. I could not resist the new iPhone once my secretary put her new on in my hand--pure 100% technolust. To get a ring tone, I went to iTunes and looked for classical, which is thin on the ground and even thinner to be made into ring tones. I got one called a string quartet Op. 6 by Haydn, but it's not--I checked the Haydn string quartets (Los Angeles String Quartet, 2002 or so, very good) and it's not there. I wondered if Mozart had stolen it, for it's his 40th symphony, extremely fine, but in string quartet. When Mozart came to Vienna, he played viola with Haydn, playing Haydn's string quartets, and he dedicated his first ones to Haydn.

There. More than you wanted to know. But it's relaxing at the end of hectic day.

That is a good one Premier, I especially enjoyed the rail racer crossing the line upside down, the complete idiot "Scottish drag queen" (I do not disparage the kilt, rather the way he ran...) running down the race track carrying some stupid sign, the pit stop guy going face first in the car, and that amazing tire.

But Premier, while I myself am a smoker and thus pay more than my share of taxes, I must point out that your video ends with a huge banner extolling the killer capitalist Marlboro sign, and for this, though it breaks my progressive heart, I DENOUNCE YOU!

User avatar
It was an accident! It wasn't supposed to be there! It's Bush's fault!

It's not fair!!!!!

I can only hope the other comrades decide that this was indeed not your fault, and there is no need for further denouncing.

User avatar
But, but, it's Bush's fault! How can they possibly accuse me after I said that it's Bush's fault? He's the reason there were advertisements in that video, just like in this video:

http://youtube.com/watch?v=HKNX3xB3iUM

It's all Bush's fault!!!!

User avatar
Betty, I must confess that watching the people get what they deserve for competing is indeed entertaining, THEY ARE STILL COMPETING!!!!! DO I NEED TO DENOUCE YOU AGAIN?

And yes, on top of that, we know that it was Bush that forced you to put the videos on here, and we know that he put the ads in there. TELL HIM TO STOP! SEEING ALL THIS UNFAIRNESS IS GETTING TO ME!!

User avatar
I must confess, it seems as if the Premier does have a most unProgressive attraction for a sport that glorifies expensive cars that are only accessible by capitalist swines, that leave a carbon footprint wider than the Many Titted Empress' ass, that are also covered with advertisements by the enemy of the People, corporations - and I might add that I was once again exposed to second hand cigarette advertisement at 1minute, 13 seconds in that video. Now even if it is Bush's fault, I find myself wondering if the Premier should not be denounced after all. Regardless, Premier Betty, I am considering suing you for exposing me to second hand tobacco advertisement! Needless to say, I am not going to sue you for my own financial gain, other than the cost for my lawyers, the time spent, the bills I will no doubt accrue, and for the pain and suffering. No, if and when I sue, it will be For the Children™!

User avatar
If you are worried about a habit Commissar, I would not worry too much. I read just today that the Party was planning on pushing through a bill to expand health coverage to more people, and plan to fund it by increasing the tax on cigarettes. Bush plans on vetoing it, but they may always push it through anyway. 61 cents per dollar I think it was. Do not fear, the nanny state will watch out for your health by making you cigarettes too expensive to buy.

User avatar
Although the libertarian would say that is the right of everyone to smoke, actuaries say that money is saved by smoking because, pardon Pupovich, even the increased costs of health care occasioned by smoking is more than made up by the shortened life span, reducing Social Security payouts.

But does this matter if we adopt my plan of working the proles until they can no longer work?

User avatar
I am not worried about the habit, I already have one... But I do think I have done far more than my share to pay for health care for others as it is, much less for proles making up to $80,000 and for "children" up to the age of 25. Why, that even addles my progressive mind. You are right Commissar Theocritus, the state should encourage people to smoke. That is the whole problem with their "social security," when it began, people died before they got all their benefits.

Never the less, we should not be exposed to second hand tobacco advertising!

User avatar
The point of all social programs being, of course, not helping people but having as many people living by the grace of others, in other words, unlinking actions from consequences, which is the entire raison d'etre of the left, and the more arbitrary the better for it instills fear.

If a consequence followed an action, the world would be rational, fear would be minimal, the world explicable, anger less, and the need for control much lessened.

Can't have that.

User avatar
I thought social programs were just a way to win votes from lazy people....

Yes, but there is more. People who are lazy and get paid for it, become accustomed to having rewards not dependent on effort, and consequences that do not follow actions. Therefore someone has interfered in their world and has made them slaves, not only economically, but mentally too.

It destroys utterly their sense of responsibility, replacing it with a sense of entitlement.

People who are entitled feel helpless. Helplessness leads to anger, and anger can be used, and is used, by monsters across the ages: Savaronola, Hitler, The DKos, Jesse Jackson. Anger is, at least to me, the most powerful emotion, drowning out everything else: joy, love, pleasure, respect, and people who are enjoined to be angry to get "the respect they're due"--note that this is not the respect they've earned--will do anything and excuse any behavior, and are a mob ready for the leader who incited it.

All mobs start with someone inciting them to anger. People who have to suck up to arbitrary social programs feel helpless because they have to fit into others' molds, do not learn, do not improve themselves, and become enslaved, and vote for the status quo, like the drunk who will not reform, and the government provides the addictive booze that people who refuse to go on the dole must pay for.

A neat swindle, isn't it? Bureaucrats enslave the poor <i>and</i> the productive.

And more importantly.... is the power it brings!
