Army of Dog

The Left seems to have a serious obsession with the idea of “voices that go unheard.”  The basic premise seems to be that certain segments of society are deliberately marginalized and silenced.  Ask them who these segments are and you’re likely to get a laundry list of the hard-left’s pet demographic groups, the poor, minorities, women, the homeless, illegal immigrants, gays, youths, etc.  Central to this notion of forcing silence on groups we can’t seem to get to shut up is the idea that the white male patriarchy secretly controls all of the outlets through which political and social viewpoints are heard.  Which is why men are so often portrayed as competent, intelligent, and accomplished, while women are crass, sub-literate, ne’er-do-wells who are the constant butt of derogatory jokes about their intellect.

All of this inequity will change, of course, when the Obamessiah is allowed to take his rightful place in the Oval Office.  Suddenly, the downtrodden will once-and-for-all have their voices heard.  Hence, this video:

Here’s my problem with this steaming pile of pig excrement.  We never seem to stop hearing from these supposedly silenced vox populi.  They never, ever shut up.  Al Gore has a 24-hour cable channel devoted to nothing but this kind of crap.  Hollywood films that champion the plight of the lesbian, transsexual fighter pilot who struggles to gain acceptance among the hegemonic military patriarchy or some other similar tale find their way to the public in an almost never-ending stream.  For fuck sake, the website that hosts their own damn video (YouTube) is a world-wide cornucopia of narcissistic freak-porn that grows bigger and bigger by the second.

In all seriousness, how many damn outlets do we need for the self-styled social outcasts among us to air their constant barrage of “I don’t need your approval, but please, please watch me” bullshit.  Want to be a real voice for the silenced masses?  Start standing up for the right of ordinary, hard-working, law-abiding people in the fucking capital of our fair country to protect themselves from the criminal vermin that prey on them in shocking numbers.  Hopefully the Supreme Court will beat you to it.  Either way, it’s a more productive use of time than giving even more attention to a bunch of gullible nitwits who have been either too bitter or too obsessed with Paris Hilton and her ilk to be politically involved in the past.
