Waiting For Conservatives to Wise Up

COMPELLED BY AN URGENT necessity to induce vomitig due to the inadvertant ingestion of a toxic substance, I turned for surcease of suffering to the ultimate elixer of purgatives, conservative talk radio. It worked like a charm, the poison came back up, and I lived. Which pompous nitwit it was in particular who saved me I neither recall nor care; but whoever it was, the big mouth saved my life, sure enough, merely by spewing the usual brand of hate filled ultra right wing lunacy. And for that I should be grateful. As they say, there is no trash, there is only misplaced garbage. But I do recall the topic of the lunacy. The topic was the extermination of native American civilization by the hordes of land grabbing, gold seeking Europeans who began their conquest in 1492, and never let up. Predictably, the pompous nitwit was all down with the process. The Indians were always fighting among themselves, taking each other's land and squaws away... genocide is normal human behavior... they weren't using the land properly anyway... the United States of America was worth the trade off, and is a much superior culture. You know the line. Same old piously patriotic crap. Needless to say, none of that is true. Of course, nothing on right wing radio is, with but rare exceptions. Sure, the Indians fought, but not genocidally, not with a systematic plan of cultural extinction, and, day in day out, for the most part, they lived in relative harmony, being far more civilized than the European Christian egomaniacs who displaced and replaced them. As right wing bloviator Bill O'Reilly says, yoyu can't justify a wrong by pointing to other wrongs. Hey! A true statement from a conservative talking head! Will wonders never cease! Next thing yoyu know, some right wing idiot will actually suggest that global warming is a bit more than a multi million member liberal hoax, or that the Africans who were dragged to America in chains may have been mistreated from time to time, or that the native Americans wore clothing, had families, and did more than run around in the wilderness acting like wild animals. But don't hold your breath.
