This is a follow up post to “No Child Left Behind:” One of Many Meaningless, Politically-Motivated Slogans.
In the original post, I made up some slogans that convey my thoughts and opinions on politics and life in America today. And, since some are pretty controversial, I thought I would go through them and explain where I’m coming from.
1) “AMERICANS WHO PROFIT THE MOST SHOULD PAY THE MOST TAXES!”
“ASK NOT WHAT WE CAN DO FOR CORPORATE AMERICA, ASK WHAT CORPORATE AMERICA CAN DO FOR US!”
This is pretty cut and dry. America is like a huge country-club, and everyone in this country-club [supposedly] pays dues (taxes) to belong. There are different levels of membership in the American country-club: some pay more dues in the club (or should anyway), because they get the extreme perks, the top benefits, the club offers, and some can only afford to pay a small amount of dues, so they get less.
Those who benefit most from this corporate-capitalist country-club should be FORCED to pay the most dues (taxes), since they enjoy the greatest benefits this country-club has to offer. And, on the other side, those who benefit less from this country-club should pay the least in dues (taxes). This, however, is not the case! The wealthy-elite pay hardly anything, when they are basically getting all the perks the club has to offer. Meanwhile, the folks who truly can’t afford the smallest amount of dues are picking up the tab for the wealthy-elite. This would be fine if this were a monarchy, since, then, it would be known up front that the wealthy and powerful would maintain and grow, while the peasants struggled in the dirt and “ate cake.” But this is the land of the so-called “American Dream,” and thus this kind of membership program is nothing but a manipulative, hypocritical lie, a complete fraud!
There was a time, some fifty years ago, when the wealthy-elite paid taxes at a rate of 90%. I am not for that, by the way. But I do believe a 60% tax-rate, WITHOUT ANY LOOPHOLES OF ANY KIND, for the wealthy-elite would be more than fair. The American middle-class made these people rich and powerful. And how do the wealthy-elite repay the middle class for all of their hard work and sacrifices over the years? They repay them with work outsourced to other countries, bald-faced lies, and corporate/bank corruption that has basically destroyed the world economy.
Here is an example of the out-of-balance tax-system I’m referring to:
CEOs who make more than their companies pay in taxes
Twenty-five of the 100 highest paid U.S. CEOs (including some with Chicago ties) earned more last year than their companies paid in federal income tax, a pay study by a Washington think tank said on Wednesday. See who some of them are, in order of their compensation. To see the entire survey, click here.

2)”AMERICA: ONE NATION [NOT] UNDER GOD!”
“IN CORRUPT POWER AND GREED WE TRUST!”
This nation is as ungodly as the most perverse and corrupt nation that ever existed on the face of the earth, including communist countries. In fact, communist countries are honest about their atheistic political and economic ideologies: unlike the hypocrites in this country, the communists don’t use our Lord and Savior as a political device or magic genie. The communists are upfront about their atheism, and, therefore, although I despise atheism, I can respect them more than the disgusting hypocritical nature of most Americans.
I have written on this subject more than once:
Deism, “Reason” + the “Founding Fathers” = “The Separation of Church and State” « An Outsider’s Sojourn.
America: “A Christian Nation?” Think Again! (Reprise) « An Outsider’s Sojourn.
3) “‘FREEDOM AIN’T FREE,’ THEN THE COST IS TOO HIGH!”
“Freedom ain’t free” is just another low-life, idiotic/patriotic excuse for going to war and murdering tens of thousands of innocent men, women and children: it’s nothing more than a capitalist-propaganda slogan to get ignorant/patriotic Americans in a flag-waving, shouting, “U S A-U S A,” frenzy, so the wealthy-elite can wage war and get wealthier and more powerful. The US of A, today, makes the Japan of one-hundred years ago look like Gandhi, when it comes to waging war-for-profit on the poor and weak, the disenfranchised in this world!
If the sacrificing of human life at the alter of freedom (democracy) and capitalism is the cost to be paid, then the cost is not only too high, it’s despotic and inhumane, it is evil!
4) “DON’T TOLERATE THE ‘PLAYER,’ AND INTENSELY HATE THE ‘GAME!’”
“ALL RAP IS (C)RAP, BAD ROCK IS A (C)ROCK!”
“AMERICA: THE LAND OF ARTISTIC MEDIOCRITY, AND THE HOME OF THE CULTURALLY DEAD!”
Except for a few true artists (Aaron Copeland, Robert Rauschenberg, George Gershwin, Alvin Ailey, Twyla Tharp), over the last two-hundred and thirty-five years, the US of A has always been mediocre at best, when it comes to art/culture. This artistic/cultural mediocrity, however, is now due to America’s incessant need to kowtow to the low-life, criminal nature of “the player,” the three-chord-wonder rocker, and the Hollywood starlet. These so-called “artists” (vermin) are controlled and promoted by the greed-driven corporate-sows (the Hollywood and record-industry executives) who live for one purpose only, to make more and more money.
The downfall of American art/culture began with Blues and Jazz, in the early part of the twentieth century, and has come to fruition, today, in the (artistically speaking) bastard offspring of these two forms of folk-music: “rock and roll,” “rap” and “hip-hop.”
{Jazz and Blues, in their original form, have an artistic quality, but as folk music only. Art is, and should always remain, elitist, and by elitist I mean, not everyone who can write a simple song or poem, or dance a jig, should be considered an artist. Elitism is at the heart of the arts, whether it be politically-correct or not. True art, in my opinion (and I’m speaking from a secular point of view here), should raise man up above the animal kingdom, and above the base, mundane and mediocre aspects of his daily life. Man is mediocre in so many ways, but art, up until recently, has always been the one area man held up to a higher standard. Art was something, wrong or right, that man wouldn’t sell out, until now, that is. Thanks to the postmodern mental-illness, which causes its victims to be rendered incapable of distinguishing between beautiful and ugly, worthy and unworthy, and GOOD and EVIL, everything, in an artistic/craft/cultural sense, is now considered to be on the same mediocre, low-life level: an African wood-carving is now equal with the Mona Lisa, and a native folk-song is now equal with The Planets Suite, by Gustav Holst. The postmodern/Darwinian/atheist has simply taken a world filled with color and made it black and white: one size fits all, and the only flavor is vanilla!}
Instead of progressing in the arts, the US of A has gone all the way back to the “multicultural” jungle. What took hundreds of years, in Western European culture, to raise man up from his baser instincts has now been almost completely destroyed in less than one century!
The Playa yells, “Don’t hate the playa, hate the game.” What a joke! The playa helped invent the game, but he doesn’t want us to know that. The playa knows who he is! The term playa does not refer to all African Americans (although many African Americans defend the playa, instead of standing up to him), no more than the drugged out rocker and Hollywood star represent all Caucasians, Latinos, and Asians.
I will never TOLERATE the playa, or anything like him, and I DO INTENSELY HATE THE GAME the playa helped to create. The game the playa, despite his protestations otherwise, loves and benefits from greatly!
5) “NEVER TOLERATE THE INTOLERABLE!”
Many Caucasian Americans, out of some kind of white-guilt syndrome, have learned to not only TOLERATE but embrace what should be considered, by most civilized peoples (black, white, blue, indigo or violet), completely INTOLERABLE music, theater (movies) and dance. A white-guilt manifested in “multiculturalism (‘valuing diversity’),” “political-correctness,” and “tolerance,” which most Americans, over the past twenty years, have been indoctrinated in while attending public schools. And this white-guilt has set American art/culture, as weak as it may have always been, back hundreds of years.
Music, dance, and movies (theater), that would have been considered obnoxious and perverse trash forty years ago, now get heralded as art; and to the extent that the “Grammy Awards” and “Oscars,” instead of being earmarked solely for the true artist, are now handed out to drug-addicted/drunken, racist/sexist, and perverse, panderers of mediocrity in all things. These developmentally-arrested and stoned-out-of-their-mind hoodlums (black and white), masquerading as musicians, dancers and actors, have done nothing (beyond accruing a “rap-sheet” a mile long) to receive anything but another jail sentence. And yet, instead of another night in handcuffs, they are given awards that once, many years ago, were reserved only for those who had truly earned them: the gifted individual (black, white, Hispanic, or Asian) who was willing to work at, and sacrifice for, his or her art.
Thirty-plus-years ago, I had been on enough album sides to be an active member (voting member) of N.A.R.A.S. (National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences). And for two years, 1978-79, I voted on the Grammy Awards. In each of those years, I voted for Earth, Wind and Fire in their category, because I loved their music. EWF were guys, like me, who had gone to college in music and had come together to write and perform the music they loved: GOOD MUSIC, GOOD COMMERCIAL ART! And, in both of those years, EWF never won. Then, almost a decade later, I saw “rapper” after “rapper” going up to get their Grammy Awards. I was literally nauseated by the spectacle of these low-life x-cons, who “rap” to sexist and racist bad-poetry, set to ripped-off music, getting Grammy Awards. And yet EWF hadn’t even gotten the second look a decade earlier.
It’s time to call out the mediocre, American “artist” (slob) for what he or she is! It’s time for someone to tell the truth: the “player” (“Playa”) king ain’t got no clothes on! He’s naked as a jaybird, perverse, mediocre, and corrupt as hell; as are his (or her) low-life, Caucasian counterparts (subjects of the “playa kingdom,”) on the “rock and roll” and Hollywood side of the plug-nickel (as in, “It ain’t worth a plug-nickel”).
But these folks are merely the pawns of the Caucasian corporate-criminals who own and operate them. You see, the real “playa” king is some white “dude,” in a $5000.00 suit, riding around in a Rolls, who hates anyone below his “station in life.”
The postmodern/Darwinian/feminist/sodomite/atheist tail that wags the American dog has, through the indoctrination of “multiculturalism” in our public education-system, and the intimidation of “political-correctness,” “tolerance,” and even despotic legislation like “hate-speech” laws, coerced the largest portion of Americans into remaining silent, when it comes to what were once considered (and still are by most) to be intolerable actions and lifestyles. The few, through political treachery, have forced their perverse, postmodern/feminist/sodomite/atheistic views on the rest of this society. And this society has responded by sitting idly by while all of this has taken place, over the last half-century.
I will not TOLERATE the INTOLERABLE! I could care less what the politically-correct/tolerant, feces-encrusted tail thinks of me! And now it knows what I think of it!
I will finish slogans 6 through 11 in Follow-Up #2.
