So the debate is finally over and everything is calming down again. In any case, the debate on the 26th was, and I hope most will agree with this sentiment, pretty goddamn boring. Not so much boring as in the “well I never knew that before, hahaha”-kind of way, but more in the “my god stop loafing around and just start debating already”-alley. I was expecting both parties to really try and knock the other one out in an epic matchup, but what I got instead was Obama trying to be the nice afro-american from across the street, and McCain on drugs and therefore looking down on his shoes half the time like someone with compulsory vertigo, preventing any funnies to be had there either. McCain did get a bit pissy in the end, and I hoped that this would spark some much needed confrontation, but Obama didn’t retaliate at all, even seemed a bit intimidated, which I find somewhat ironic, since his opponent didn’t even have the guts to look him straight in the eyes during the whole ordeal.

It was all in all a very unnecessary debate, and I do blame the host for this poor performance somewhat – He did try a little to spark some sort of meager fire, but he never really wanted to burn his hands in the process, probably because of not wanting to be seen as “biased”, oh no, not that! But then again, maybe he was just caught off guard by expecting the two candidates to finally graduate from kindergarten, and start delivering some blows like in middle school. Is that is too much to ask of the next president of the USA? Sadly enough it seems to be so.

This has got to be one of the most vile pieces of propaganda I have ever seen. Göbbels would be proud. Equating war with NASCAR has got to be another low for the USA. No actual fighting in the video, no soldier yelling “MOTHERFUCKERRRR!!!!” while shooting his MG mounted on top his jeep at anything which moves, no soldiers infiltrating a mosque and killing people on the ground, no soldiers going batshit crazy from severe mental trauma. No, of course not. Here the soldiers rummage around in a house and find *GASP* weapons on the first crate they see. Here the soldiers are mentally well prepared for a kid running after his soccer ball on the middle of the street. In here the everyone is a soldier, firefighters too. The cheering masses of the NASCAR stadium are willing to fight… well… wave for their hero! Isn’t that cute? Any good person is a warrior inside, right?

I wouldn’t even be so fazed if the people actually were aware that this is indeed propaganda, but most are actually defending this piece of shit. Just look at the goddamn text people:

So don’t tell me who’s wrong and right

Don’t tell me who’s wrong or right? Did I hear this correctly? it doesn’t matter if  the war was justified, needed, or even simply adequate, now all those liberal pussies are supposed to forget everything that’s gone wrong and simply get their nuts blown off anyway, because it doesn’t really matter? How can anyone in their right mind not object to this?

When liberty starts slipping away

Oh yes “liberty”. You mean the liberty to invade other countries, ransack their oil, and then lose thousands of troops and civilians in a bloody guerrilla war? Liberty means the freedom of the individual, not the freedom of the state.

And if you ain’t gonna fight
Get out of the way

That’s right, we’ll just do whatever we want, regardless of what you liberal pussies think. FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT! Uargh!!!!!

‘Cause freedom ain’t so free
When you breathe red, white and blue

Freedom isn’t so free when America’s involved? Is this supposed to be satire after all?

I’m giving all of myself
How ’bout you?

YOU DIDN’T EVEN SERVE, SHUT THE HELL UP ASSHOLE! Seriously, how condescending can you get?

And they call me warrior

Yep, because you’re not there to spread peace, you aren’t there to help, you are there to FIGHT and kick some infidels in their nuts. USA USA!

They call me loyalty

Who needs to think when other people already do it for you, right kid? I like how they refrained from using “patriot”, maybe that card’s been played out too much even by their standards, and that’s really saying something.

I will never accept defeat

You know what they call people like you? Zealot.

I’m a Soldier in war
Civilian in peace

According to Bush Americas’ war against terrorism will last 100+ years. Anyone see a connection?

These are just some of the lyrics in this song. How can anyone not think this is propaganda? I just don’t get it. Are people really this stupid? But then again, I don’t think they were going after the intellectual elite when they put this crap together, and those pesky Orwellian proles are just the right people to form into cannon fodder err… I mean WARRIORS ARGHH!.
