Dead Right
By Alan Marston, 3 May 2008
 
Democracy 21, everyone's equal at the cemetery. Old Labour, dead, New
Labour, dead, National(ism), dead, Neo-conservatives, dead, Working Class
(dictatorship), dead, Green/Red, dead, God, dead.
 
How the hell can the political opportunist cruising for trade at the
graveside find point-of-difference any more? Oh yes, the politician's
friend, political pornography, tribalism. You know, USA, meaning US A nd …
the universe-as-our-god-given-asset-to-do-with-what-ever-we-want. In
short, the Dead Right Buster! Party. The political movement that predicts
any other politician's propaganda, and says it first.
 
You're going to do that? Dead right buster!
 
When it comes to enlisting support for oneself it always works best to
couch one's-self as a un-self in the bosom of a US A. A tactic which far
from being difficult to achieve is difficult to avoid. Language is utterly
saturated in US Aness disguised as Greater Goodness. Commerce and its
twin, politics, are drowned in it. As evidence, try this; listen to or
read any conversation and count the I/me/my references as compared to the
we/us/our references. Then consider that the number one decision-maker of
the globe (it's not earth any more) is `My Bottom Line', which is a
screaming I/me/mine. Ie., under every our is a my.
 
I guess what I'm trying to say is, let's… no wait, not let us, what I'm
trying to say is let me Get Real, that's the Party I want to vote for.
And, since this is a democracy, you can vote for whatever Party you think
is in your interests.
 
I just hope you don't vote for the Dead Right Buster! zzzz because they do
deliver, both the dead and the right. Call me selfish, I want to live and
be left, alone. I'm dreaming of course, but then, who isn't?
