In my previous article on the New York Mosque controversy I pointed out that both sides of the argument were acting like, in a word-DICKS! I was being foolish. I was. Who was I to expect anyone in this country to be reasonable any longer. We're like a bunch of petulant brats, and so, in that regard, if Obama, as the Right Wing says, is a dictator, then maybe its time he started acting like one.
I voted for the guy, and like to think I'm a pretty good judge of character, so I think Obama would make a pretty good dictator. I think he'd like to have the freedom for a smack down here and there when regular people start acting so stupid it blinds them to any sort of reason and perspective.
This whole deal with the Ground Zero Mosque would be a perfect test case for those new dictatorial powers. Rather than have this inane, life-suckingdebate between reto-evolutionary idiots, he could just put an end to the whole dumb business. Afterall, who better to deal with dicks than a dick-tator?!
Obama is tap dancing a bit on this. Time to pull both sides together. How about Glen Beck and Rush Limbaugh on one side of the table, and a couple of pissed off Imams on the other. Maybe close the door and let the four of them have it out-pit two doughy white dorks with mouths, against a couple Muslims guys with limited tolerance for blowhards.
How about a full contact football game between Right wing talk hosts and Muslims, winners take all. you know, like when your parents sent you and a squabbling sibling into a room and closed the door, saying, "either work it out or kill each other."
All kidding aside, as this stupidity spirals out of control, time for a bit of executive prudence and wisdom. Muslims are digging in their heel on this one, which at some point becomes a giant middle finger to America, or at least the dicks up in arms over this. On the otherside, the Right is using this as a tool to completley rally whites, and make them paranoid in hopes of creating a solid race block for elections, and worse, to get fat and rich off of.
Neither is good for America, and the only lesson we can draw from this is that the corrupt Right is fuklly capitalizing off the gullibility of white folks, and Muslims are so damn thick-headed that they will wrap themselves in dickishness( its a word. Its a word!)withouit considering other people's feelings. Step up, Mister President, and be presidential by brokering some sort of compromise, or at least a deeper perspective to the still un-infected people of America.
As for me, I believe that Ground Zero is such hallowed ground I even want pigeons shot from the sky for daring to crap there. Think I'll go to Pearl Harbor for one of the 100+ Japanese restaurant nearby...God, I'm such a dick!

9-11 Mosque: A Dick Move, But...
Let's be honest, a rare thing these days, because most pundits who say, "let's be honest," aren't being honest, except with their own particular bias. My bias is, and I will confess to having one, is that everybody pisses me off equally. I'm as annoyed by ultra-partisan Liberals and condescending Progressives as I am retro-evolutionary Conservatives and latently homophobic and bigoted so-called Tea Baggers.
As for religion...I couldn't be bothered more by religious idiots of every faith and denomination. have a beer, eat a porkchop, put on some jeans,have a lobster-topped burger, dance, masturbate, kiss someone of the opposite sex(a good soul kiss-not some fake peck)tle off the hats and burqas and yarmulkes, tell a dirty joke, and pray when the rest of us do...during sex, when we win the lottery, get slapped in the gonads and when we finally make it to the toilet after a long trip. The rest of the time, no one gives a crap about "YOUR" god. Worship in private, have a holiday, dance in the street, but stop using it as a flag for you to wave, a reason to look down and antagonize everyone else, and as some sick tribal masturbatory reason to abuse the rest of us. It doesn't make you pious, sanctified, it isn't going to get you into Heven first, as if it was A Southwest Airlines flight in which all those in back wouldn't get complimentary peanuts. It makes you a dick, which brings me to the whole 9-11 Mosque issue in New York.
In case you've been in a coma, my condolences. While you were numbed to the world the last several months, a Muslim group decided they would put up a Mosque near Ground Zero, the site of the September 11 Attacks that brought down the World Trade center in New York. The Right Wing, not satisfied with simple Race bating to stir up frightened and paranoid know-nothing White folks (I'm white. I'm white!), moved over into the radicl Islamists are coming to kick your dog and put a burqa on your daughter strategy. sadly, because fat-assed television saturated Americans with a feed me and let me continue being a schlub mentalities are flling for this crap.
Tr8u6th is...THE TRUTH IS, building a Mosque near Ground Zero and dedicating it on 9-11 is a dick move. The Imam, who claims it is all about making connections between Islam and American Idiots, is a liar. he knows it is a dick move, and so do the rest of us.
The thing is, it ain't illegal in American to be a dick. It is annoying, but not a crime. And it certainly ain't illegal to build a Mosque, a church, synagogue, a christian science reading room(lack of caps is on purpose)or a pagan temple any damn place in America they wish. Anyone who says otherwise, like Newt Gingrich and all his pals on the Right, are, let me choose just the right word here, oh yes...they are dicks too!
So, given that, what do the rest of us do, the vast majority of us-Christians, Muslims, reasonable Conservatives and Liberals, blacks, whites, Elvis impersonators-find ourselves burdened by dicks? Tell them. tell them, every chance you get. Tell the idiots on the Right, who want to use this as another way to whip people into an emotional frenzy while they are stealing from your pocket. Ground Zero might be some sort of hallowed place-certainly not religious- but not all the real estate surrounding it, and the idea of hallowed ground is a feeling, and thoroughly in the eye of the beholder. Need an example? Custer's battle ground in Montana is a national monument. The site of the Wounded Knee Massacre in South Dakota, not so much.
That said, Muslims, if theye truly care about building bridges, have to be a little sensitive. By the way there are 167 Japanese restaurants near the hallowed ground of Pearl Harbor. So maybe this is all about something else for the Right.
Tell them all. Tell the Idiots on the Right, and tell the Muslims when they are being foolish and obnoxious, just don't be a dick about it.
