The Chimperor Is Dead! Long Live the Chimperor!
You know, until Al Sharpton brought it up, I hadn’t really thought of the President as a chimpanzee. And then, when I did think about it, I thought to myself, “What the fuck is Al Sharpton talking about?!” Only a mind as decayed with syphilitic reasoning (or over-perming) as his would conjure up a connection between a dead ape in a political cartoon and the President.
For one thing, Al, the cartoon in question is clearly drawn against those who wrote this huge new spending package we have to deal with now. Obama had nothing to do with writing it. In fact, it’s been a criticism against him by even some in his own party that he didn’t do enough to put his own guidance into it. Instead, he left it up to the party hacks. That’s why we have this giant new mess of porculicious obligations piled onto the rest of a lame economy.
So, since you missed the point —and took offense at nothing— how will you look people in the eye? Is this how you’re going to advance the cause of Eric Holder’s America? By imagining stupid shit like the ridiculous paranoiac and race exploiter you are?
By the way, those of us who supported the previous Commander-in-Chief were subjected to eight years of constant reference to his supposedly chimp-like features and expressions. Talking about the “Chimperor” was standard-issue fare with degenerate hippies everywhere. But now that we have a self-identified black man as our President, what do you suppose will be the fate of that term? I suspect that Obama’s biggest critics —those who happen to be white— will be extra careful not to make references to his racial characteristics because they know, as a political matter, they dare not. And why should they? Leave it up to Sharpton and his simian imaginings to continually resort to that lever —like the frivolous rat he is. America’s more grown up than some want to believe.
I oppose Obama as a politician and even as the President of my country, but I have no reason to oppose him on account of his race because I think that is stupid and because that’s how people thought before me. If I choose —and I do every day— to interact with and learn from people who are not like me, then I am manifesting America’s genius. If I choose to move past racial and class and ideological identities —and I make the effort every day— then I am closer to health than those who segregate themselves away.
Get it, Eric? I don’t have to “talk” about race if I am living right by the world.
(Oh, for future reference? The cartoon in question alludes, as such things do, to a current topic of great curiosity: on Monday, an old woman in Connecticut who kept a chimpanzee around as her lover and drinking buddy had to stab the poor thing to keep it from shredding her best friend’s face apart. She failed. When the cops showed, they had to put him down. I don’t know why a person would choose to live with a chimp in such intimacy, but it certainly seems crazy and out of control. Like an ape on psychotropics. Like this spending bill they just enacted. Total apeshit socialism.)
