U.S elections.

I know the question everyone is wondering right now is "Who does Rooster endorse as the next president of the United States ?"

Knowing my cult like popularity, I've delibrately withheld my views on the elections so far not wanting to have a disproportional influence on the results. But now that the time to vote has come I may as well spill it.

And the winner is (drum roll).............................................................................................................

Nobody !!!

They're all assholes. A person simply does not rise up through the U.S political ranks without being in on some sinsiter machiovellian bollocks. America is a one party fascist nation that farsically portrays itself to be in an election "battle" every four years and sells its people the illusion of "choice". In reality there is S-F-A difference between the republicans and democrats except perhaps for the lobbyists/big banking/militiary industrial complex/pharmaceutical companies etc etc whose interests they serve. They polarise people by painting a big archetypical picture of the others : Democrats are drugged up lazy hippies liberals and Republicans are Red neck monster truck driving religious hicks. Liberals want to turn the states into communist Russia and murder Jesus Christ and babies and the Republicans want the the right to own automatic guns and kill all the gays, jews and blacks. Frankly your average Joe-America just slides inbetween these two ridiculous stereotypes aligning themself with either not in endorsement but in sheer fear of the the other.

So with this in mind and fully aware that both canidates will likely follow through with the most self destructive policies and bring about the decline of the western world, I'm going to say screw it and do the following....

Hope that Obama wins. It's not the better or worse of the two options because pragmatically I think he'll esculate the wars in the middle east to include iran and pakistan (just as mccain would).But at least this way I'm getting some kind of affirmation that the american people actually admitting that Bush has been a f#ck up. It'll feel at least in some way like some form of acknowledgment of guilt for voting that Cretin in. So for this reason I'll be watching telly all night hopefully first pumping as the map turns blue.

Oh , and it'll piss S.A.S off.

For once an almost lucid & quite perceptive argument. Both sides are ALWAYS played off of one another. Not to unlike this Kill Whitey vs SAS rivalry in fact. Both major American political parties are controlled from the same sources & are stereotyped in the extreme not too unlike your constant extreme stereotyping of Afrikaans persons. I would not be surprised if there was no clear winner just like in 2000 -so the rulers can have another drawn out political drama creating more polarization & friction.

You guys are idiots if you think i hate afrikaans people. I only mirror their attitude to others. I love each and everyone of them who wants ti be an active part of South Africa. Not only love but deeply respect. That takes true guts and real character to stick up for the land of your birth and claim yourself one of it's children. I encourage you to all rise above it all and be true pioneers of this great land we're building.

Everything I've written so called anti afrikaaners has been motivated by10% truth and 90% humour in my mind. Isn't that how satire works ?

I'd be lying if I said there weren't many things about afrikaaners "nationalism" that irqued me. It is disproportionaly an afrikaans person who spouts the type of rubbish you read at S.A.S for example. So I do like to rub it back in their faces from time to time. But hate ? Nope.

So there...you don't need to speculate on my opinion anymore. I just gave it to you.

Well for one thing you can no more prove that the posters at SAS are in fact authentic Afrikaans persons that one can prove you are an authentic South African person. Furthermore: Afrikaner Nationalism was an extension of British Imperialism -as it sought to control the macro State the British created with FOREIGN legislation- which in fact repressed the actual Boer people due to the fact that it was run by the numerically larger Cape Dutch descendents: who were always historically on the side of the British before their sudden feigned anti-British sentiments during the formation era of the said Afrikaner Nationalism because the other main aim of Afrikaner Nationalism was to co-opt / capture & control the Boer people & prevent them from reattempting secession from the macro State as they attempted in 1914 during the ill-fated Maritz Rebellion.

Don't contextualise your hatred to try and validate it. We all could pile up a list as to why we should be forgiven should we decide to shoot up the place. Doesn't make it right.

What hatred are you talking about? I do not engage in hatred. Pointing out the various historical facts concerning in particular the British creation of the macro state of South Africa is not hatred.

Sometimes people just need to get the fuck overthemselves. Now is an example of that time.
