Almost broke my fast
I almost broke my communist fast. Thank Obama I was stopped–perhaps too late.
There I was, googling the socialist blogs for discussion of the recent capitalist crisis that manifest at WalMart and ToysRUs on this very dark black Friday. I was so hungry for analysis from my comrades at MSNBC that I tempted the breaking of my fast with the TIVO-ed Matthews-Olberman-Maddow Trifecta. Little did I know their programming had been usurped by a repeating Orwellian fear mongering: teenagers caught on tape. No, it wasn’t porn, at least not in the sexual intercourse sort of way. It was the systematic attempt from our culture’s collective fear and guilt complex to suppress the inevitable youth movement.
One anecdote: a recent poll found that Evangelical Christians under 25 are bigger supporters of gay marriage than New Deal Democrats over 60. The youth movement is coming and old people should listen to and/or join in, not fear it. It’s not going to hurt anyone if we love one another.
