Ditch Living & Collective Gardening – Celebrating the Fourth Like a Dirty and Toothless Progressive Whore!

Welcome, friends. Welcome to another progressive edition of Ditch Living & Collective Gardening – your premier source for morally superior progressive living.
As the editor of this award winning magazine, I want to thank all the donors that make this little publication possible. Scratch that, I don't want to thank anyone. No, they can all rot in hell! Those hacks at Newsweek said I would never make it! Now who's laughing! I am! I am! Ha ha ha ha!
For this edition of DL&CG I want to zero in on what you - a progressive freedom fearing Amerikan - can do this year to ensure a safe, happy and progressive celebration of this most heinous of days. It is our duty – our Gaia given right, if you will – to do everything in our collective power to stop this celebration of the most oppressive, backward and racist nation in the history of humyn evolution from ever taking place again. So please, pull up a chair, grab a cup of your favorite over-priced Starbucks coffee, and take notes on the ideas we are presenting you with to keep this decadent celebration of greed and exploitation from ever taking place again.
The Fourth of July has come to symbolize the wicked war mongering nationalism that has oppressed the peoples of the Third World for hundreds of years. It's a decadent holiday, a holiday where family, friends and other assorted evil-doers come together to much on the flesh of harmless and human-like animals, wave offensive American flags and sing songs praising this country's abuse, torment and neglect of people around the world. But fear not, my little weaklings. Do not fear the flag waving American this year as you sit quietly in the coffee shop sipping over-priced lattes while planning designs for your own proletarian revolution. Oh no, I'm here to give you survival tips this year on how to wade out the throngs of fascist jackbooted thugs who will “parade” down your street preaching freedom, singing hateful racist patriotic songs and talking to their non-aborted young about George W. Washington and all those other slave owning warmongers.
DL&CG Tip – How to dampen a hateful public celebration of America by calling upon the services of the ACLU.

As progressives we all know how these fascist operate. We know how they like to go outside and pop their fireworks in celebration of this hate filled day. Oh yes, it has something to do with “bombs bursting in air” or some warmongering crap like that. And that, my friends, is exactly what it is – warmongering! Those fireworks are deadly, especially the sparklers! My goodness, those sparklers can burn down an entire African village if you let them, and is probably why the U.S government supplies their child-mercenaries with weapons of mass destruction every year! The best thing to do when you hear these “fireworks” (might as well use napalm, you knuckle-dragging warmongers!) is to immediately call the ACLU and tell them that your right to read a Noam Chomsky book in peace at a Fourth of July event is being violated. Yes, you have a right to privacy in a public park, military installation, stadium or anywhere else where large groups of Republicans are celebrating their “Independence Day”. You have a right to tell them to stop immediately, disperse and return home so that you can finish pawing over your delicious anti-American literature. You shouldn't have to sit there and watch all those greed stricken whores have all of that fun - while you, the morally superior - have to sit there and suffer because the great Soviet nation that you use to celebrate was wiped out of existence by Ronnie Ray-gun. No, get the ACLU there as soon as possible and stop the celebration, now!
Q: What should I do when the ACLU finally arrives?
Once the ACLU shows up, it is best to first show them whatever information you might have on you to declare your association with any left-wing, communist, progressive or Jihadist group. Next you will want to declare that your rights have been violated using one or many of the choices listed:
- I'm a refugee from a war-torn nation that was occupied by the American imperialist hordes. This Fourth of July event is offensive, insensitive and is violating my right to privacy. Yes, I was born in Alabama – but Abe Lincoln was a fascist Republican who invaded my state for oil!
- I'm a progressive artistic interpretative dancer who feels threatened and confused by the pretty colors in the sky, the loud noises and the sight of people enjoying themselves. I, as a progressive who values freedom, wish for this event to be shut down and for everyone to be charged with disturbing the peace and committing hate-crimes.
- I hate America and wish for all of these people to be strung up in the village square for celebrating the most oppressive, totalitarian and ruthless nation in history. I'm also a contributor at Daily Kos and feel threatened.
- This is public property and as public property these people do not have a right to celebrate the founding of this country. I'm a tax-payer and I should not have to pay taxes for something that I don't support. Did I mention I'm a registered pro-choice Democrat?
DL&CG Tip – How to inform The Children of what they're blindly celebrating.

We all know how impressionable children are at a young age and how vulnerable they are to garbage – especially our garbage. The younger the better I always say! So be sure to stop at local schools and demand that the administration at the school of your choice educates the children to understand the truth, the symbolism and history of this offensive day.
- Teach the children that Big Fireworks is part of the Military Industrial Complex and that for every firework they hear go off another child the same age and from a country far away is having a bomb dropped on them by the Bush Administration.
- Teach the children how waving the American flag or pledging allegiance to the flag kills a kitten. Also inform them that Adolph Hitler and Dick Cheney were both equally responsible for the flag being red, white and blue.
- Teach the children about what it means to be an American and how shameful it is to call one's self an American citizen. Tell them the truth of how being an American is “un-cool” in foreign and more advanced societies like North Korea or Cuba.
- Teach the children how to operate a lighter or a match and instruct them to burn an American flag on sight. The children must know that such a flag is offensive and might hurt the sensibilities of a Freedom Fighter in Iraq currently shooting at our blood thirsty and uneducated soldiers.
- Teach the children that the celebration of America is really a celebration of the slave owning warmongering Founding Fathers who stole their ideas from the peaceful and loving Soviet Union. The children must know the truth, and we all know from history that no other country in the history of the world was freer than the Soviet Union. This can be done simply by replacing the Founding Fathers with the Founding Communist. After every vestige of Washington, Jefferson and those other white pigs are removed, we want the schools to ask the children politely (or by methods of painful force) to submit letters of praise to Marx, Engels, Lenin and Stalin to help purge them of the myths fed to them by the corporatist controlled media and by radical pro-American educators.
DL&CG Tip – How to rain on a Fourth of July parade with golden showers of progress.

Sometimes large groups of fascist war criminals like to gather around like the sheep they are to watch a hateful demonstration known as a “parade”. These parades - unlike the ones in the former U.S.S.R or the DPRK which are morally acceptable - are strewn with patriotic symbols like the American flag, Uncle Sam, the Founding Fathers(patriarchal pigs!), and, of course, the goose-stepping and stupid U.S soldiers who can't read. Oh yes, throngs of sheep line the sidewalks to see this display, a display of the decadence, bigotry and sexism that America still represents to this very day.
These parades usually start off with floats, maybe a float of Uncle Sam or maybe a car with a blonde jackbooted beauty pageant winner being exploited for her appearance. Of course this parade might have a “hero” or two, which is nothing more than some stupid drooling U.S soldier who was conned into sitting in a car for a few minutes (they do anything you tell them to, including the firebombing of a peaceful Freedom Fighter training village). Yes, all of this crap the KKKons love is an awful display and one that violates everything we progressives hold dear in a real “parade”. We want things like Marx and Lenin on billboards with bright shining klieg lights illuminating their wise yet humble profiles. We want battalions of Red Guards marching through the streets singing songs of revolutionary valor and resistance to capitalism, freedom and private property. Yes, those are the things that warm our cold reptilian hearts and put a crooked smile on our dead faces.
Q: We can't get away with having a full blown Commie ho-down like the Soviet paradise use to throw for its people – not without scaring folks away with our blatant tyranny. So how do we have a progressive parade without scaring the American people away with our Communist ideals?
Excellent question, comrade! We as progressives know what makes a parade a good parade here in America. We know how to pull at the heart strings on the stupid flag waving American and get him/her/it on our side! We know that scantily clad men in leather, protesting undocumented-Americans waving the Mexican flag, fornicating chubby witch lesbians and a mass of unwashed nude hippies (preferably fat and ugly) make the perfect ingredients for an All-American Progressive parade that will turn even the most fascist of the fascist to our enlightened way of thinking (and voting)! The question now is how do we take the good elements of the Progressive parade and combine them into a fascist parade to make it somewhat morally acceptable for the children? Answer: we threaten to sue!
Yes, lawsuits are a wonderful thing when we don't get our way in life, and of all people we progressives know how generous the courts can be. After the court sides in our favor to host the most morally reprehensible demonstration of filth a Progressive can muster up, the Party wants you to make it your patriotic duty this year to ensure that every standard of decency is violated in the fascist parade celebrating America. Here are some things you can do to offend and disgust the Faux News sheep:
- Come in the nude. You were born in monkey's image and you're damn proud of it! Show the children of the fascist what Gaia gave you and watch them flee the stands puking and covering their eyes as you gracefully waddle down the street shouting for free health-care, on demand abortion, surrender in Iraq and impeachment of the President of the Two Americas!
- If you happen to be a fat and untalented lesbian who practices Wicca magic; come as you are! Dance and merrily chant voodoo spells on the onlookers all the while sprinkling cat turds on the bawling little kiddies below. Your contribution to the event is needed, especially when the fascist have their blonde fascist beauty bitch waving to the crowd with her perfect teeth and perky tits. Sexism is your enemy and you need to show the men in the crowd that even a womyn with back hair can be sexy if need be. So pull down them britches and give everyone a peep show they'll never forget! By golly, if you're successful every man in that crowd will never think of being with another woman again, which will be a good thing since the queens in leather brigade is next on our parade route!
- After the fat untalented Wicca lesbian leaves the show, we now come to the queens in leather brigade to capture the men the lesbian turned queer. Here you want to make sure your leather is of the highest quality and that all chains and bondage gear is securely fastened. It is your job now to show the onlookers what happens in a good ole' fashioned San-Francisco parade – so be sure to wear protection and come with plenty of oil (the rubbing kind, not the kind our fascist Commander in Cheat slaughters for).
- I'm sure there will be U.S soldiers in this parade; they do after all fight for this immoral greed stricken cess pool. They also fight for something called “liberty”, whatever the hell that is. So be sure to bring plenty of spit, Progressives. I'm sure there will be plenty of opportunities to spit in the face that bleeds for your rights and dies so that you can live “free” (Ha! Freedom died after the Berlin Wall came tumbling down! Don't lie to us anymore about this “freedom” crap!). It is always, and I mean always, important for you to remind these baby killing dunces that they are infringing on your rights to abort your tummy parasite because they wear the fascist uniform of imperialism. Let us never forget how these idiots vote, we know they vote overwhelmingly Republican in every election. This is partly due to the fact that they are uneducated and stupid. Now then, if they all were indoctrinated and mind-raped by a trained professional at an Ivy-League institution for higher learning, they sure the hell wouldn't be serving this murderous country, now would they? I don't think so, and that is why we need to spit on them so they can get their act together and surrender already. It is your duty, Progressives. If we should celebrate anyone's service to our country, let us celebrate Julius and Ethel Rosenberg's. They died so the Soviet Union could have the bomb!

Our Fearless Leader looks on as an American flag is burning with a church in the background sliding into the ground. So PROGRESSIVE!
Reader, I hope you have learned a lot in this edition of Ditch Living and Collective Gardening – I sure the hell did. I learned what it means to hate America and why it is imperative to oversee its total and utter decay. It is our duty, our calling if you will from Darwin above, to weed out these “patriots” at all cost. We must ban together this Fourth of July with our lawyers, victim advocacy groups, elected Democrat politicians, academics and whoever else we can dig up that hates America as much as we do to stop this blatant celebration of this awful and sinister country. We need to show America that America is a pretty rotten place to live, even though we, as Progressives, might live in 500,000$ homes, drive fancy cars, own a private jet, have an expensive wardrobe capable of feeding three African nations and, of course, have that vacation home at Martha's Vineyard . Yes, we have these things, maybe due to the freedom we have in this country. NO! We have these things because we are Progressive, and I assure you, you will have these things too if you openly embrace socialism and the government enforced redistribution of your wealth to needy crack addicts. But not just any crack addicts. No, extensive Harvard research suggests that these crack addicts are better equipped to manage wealth for the Common Good – which is why we must take it away from you to begin with.
Thank you, and be sure to vote Democrat.
