Roseanne Barr blogs. And in line with her ascerbic brand of humor, she doesn't mince words in this post:
the party that told everybody to let the "freemarkets" rule and everything would be alright. If we just took the inhibitors off of business we would all be rewarded. Big government was our enemy, and would make us lose jobs. Well, Mccain's party raped and looted every dime they saw, and now people are losing their homes, jobs, country, schools, hospitals, benefits, retirement, and civil rights. Mccain's party is the "let the rich have their way" party. This is where reaganomics took us. neighbor against neighbor, brother against brother, rich against poor...ARMAGEDDON. Again mccain's party will appeal to the lowest in people...their secret racism, their secret fear of women's reproductive rights, their fears of homosexuality, and devils and spooks from other religions. I hope it doesn't work this time. I hope this time the voting public cannot be turned against its own best interests. I hope that voters vote for community instead of consolidation of power. community is key.
Basically, what economists and sociologists rightly called the new Republican/Reagan era and what their gift to recent Americanness was: "social meanness" and truly not giving two flying fucks whether your fellow citizen lives or dies, because they're the other color, not part of your Religious Right, or are an immigrant (who wasn't, once, except Native Americans?), or you don't have cash, since that's no one else's fault but your own. Reaganomics was the worst tendencies of American politics and culture coming together in a perfect storm of "Fuck you, pay me."
Oooh, I like ranting, too. Here's her taking on Jon Voight:
jon voight your evil spawn angelina jolie and her vacuous hubby brad pitt make about forty million dollars a year in violent psychopathic movies and give away three of it to starving children trying to look as if they give a crap about humanity as they spit out more dunces that will consume more than their fair share and wreck the earth even more. (just sayin'). Also miss jolie says she likes mccain too and hasn't decided who to endorse....huh? Aren't you supposed to be somewhat enlightened, or do you not know that the african daughter you hold in every picture had parents who suffered and died because of the republican party's worldwide economic assault on africa over the last few decades since reagan? whaaaa...??????!!!! (for that matter, the thai and vietnamese sons you are photo'd with weekly too!!!? who's pictures you sell to raise money to help the poor? Their families are victims of America's right wing military incursions too. Mccain wants to continue with the idea of war for profit...the americans are over that thinking now! They have drugged our troops and lower classes into supporting their oil business atrocities for long enough. We want to save not lose our souls thank you. Now go back to making your movies about women who love to handle big guns that shoot hundreds of people to death. Ps....it might be good for your asian and african children's self esteem to know you support a brown man for the leader of the free world.)
Ouch. No, really. What do you really think? Don't hold back!
