The flavours:
- religious fundamentalists – unable to think for themselves; have been told what to believe by either their parents or by their religious ministers. An original thought in their head may cause them to have a brain embolism or stroke. These ministers come from the next sub-grouping.
- fiscal conservatives – the business side of conservatism; capitalists. Simply put, blood thirsty pirates willing to show their wives fucking dogs for cold hard cash, sell their mothers to serial rapists and/or first-born son to pederasts. Money makes the world go round after all.
- right-wingers – these break down into a further sub-flavouring:
- red-necks – good old boys. Good ole ignorant uneducated backwards inbreds that typically have glandular disorders and frequently are unable to control their spittle from dripping from the sides of their slack mouths.
- geeks/nerds – smart and educated. These are just raging angry males that never got laid in high-school, spent more time with their underwear up their asses than out and was the football team tackle dummy. They hate the world for causing them such pain and aim to make them all pay.
So, there we have it, the demographic of conservative and right-wing parties around the world.
I would love to have the faith to believe that it took place in seven days, but… I have thoughts.
And that can really fuck up the faith thing… just ask any Catholic priest.

Danny Williams is the Conservative Premier of my birth province:
Complacency bigger threat than Liberals, Williams tells PCs (CBC.ca)
“The one thing I just got to caution you on in this election is complacency. Everybody thinks we’re going to walk away with this, but we’re not,” the Progressive Conservative leader told a rally at the Pepsi Centre.
The funny thing about this quote is two things:
- Complacency IS what makes democracy a failed political system
- If it wasn’t for complacency Conservatives would have no chance of winning.
The last thing a right-wing conservative party wants is a politically educated population.
My friends,
Surely this will be the last opportunity for me to address you. The Air Force has bombed the antennas of Radio Magallanes.
My words do not have bitterness but disappointment. May there be a moral punishment for those who have betrayed their oath: soldiers of Chile, titular commanders in chief, Admiral Merino, who has designated himself Commander of the Navy, and Mr. Mendoza, the despicable general who only yesterday pledged his fidelity and loyalty to the Government, and who also has appointed himself Chief of the Carabineros [paramilitary police].Given these facts, the only thing left for me is to say to workers:
I am not going to resign! Placed in a historic transition, I will pay for loyalty to the people with my life. And I say to them that I am certain that the seeds which we have planted in the good conscience of thousands and thousands of Chileans will not be shriveled forever.
They have force and will be able to dominate us, but social processes can be arrested by neither crime nor force. History is ours, and people make history.
Workers of my country: I want to thank you for the loyalty that you always had, the confidence that you deposited in a man who was only an interpreter of great yearnings for justice, who gave his word that he would respect the Constitution and the law and did just that. At this definitive moment, the last moment when I can address you, I wish you to take advantage of the lesson: foreign capital, imperialism, together with the reaction, created the climate in which the Armed Forces broke their tradition, the tradition taught by General Schneider and reaffirmed by Commander Araya, victims of the same social sector who today are hoping, with foreign assistance, to re-conquer the power to continue defending their profits and their privileges.
I address you, above all, the modest woman of our land, the campesina (farmer: feminine) who believed in us, the mother who knew our concern for children. I address professionals of Chile, patriotic professionals who continued working against the sedition that was supported by professional associations, classist associations that also defended the advantages of capitalist society. I address the youth, those who sang and gave us their joy and their spirit of struggle. I address the man of Chile, the worker, the farmer, the intellectual, those who will be persecuted, because in our country fascism has been already present for many hours — in terrorist attacks, blowing up the bridges, cutting the railroad tracks, destroying the oil and gas pipelines, in the face of the silence of those who had the obligation to act. They were committed. History will judge them.
Surely Radio Magallanes will be silenced, and the calm metal instrument of my voice will no longer reach you. It does not matter. You will continue hearing it. I will always be next to you. At least my memory will be that of a man of dignity who was loyal to his country.
The people must defend themselves, but they must not sacrifice themselves. The people must not let themselves be destroyed or riddled with bullets, but they cannot be humiliated either.
Workers of my country, I have faith in Chile and its destiny. Other men will overcome this dark and bitter moment when treason seeks to prevail. Go forward knowing that, sooner rather than later, the great avenues will open again and free men will walk through them to construct a better society.
Long live Chile! Long live the people! Long live the workers!
These are my last words, and I am certain that my sacrifice will not be in vain, I am certain that, at the very least, it will be a moral lesson that will punish felony, cowardice, and treason.
Santiago de Chile, 11 September 1973

what happened today…
seems like something should be coming to mind…
oh yeah…
On Sept. 11, 1973 the US instigated and supported the overthrow of the Chilean democratically elected Socialist government of Salvador Allende (who died later that day supposedly by suicide) by the fascist forces of Augusto Pinochet.
Yeah… now that’s something to remember…
funny I almost forgot it…
sometimes garbage gets in the brain and dislodges important facts like this.
–
“At least a thousand people were executed during the first six months of Pinochet in office, and at least two thousand more were killed during the next sixteen years, as reported by the Rettig Report. Some 30,000 were forced to flee the country, and tens of thousands of people were detained and tortured, as investigated by the 2004 Valech Commission.”
