Un-Liberaled Woman

Have you ever seen some dumb-dumb celebrity or “hipster” wearing a shirt similar to the one here to the left? Yeah, I used to wonder who that was on the shirt. I used to think “oh that person must be so cool, admired and revolutionary if they are on a shirt.”   Yeah, and I also used think that acting like a drunken fool was how to get people to respect you – eh, everyone’s 21 at some point.

Anytweedledumb, for those of you who may not know the person located on this shirt, his name is Che Guevara – “revolutionist” who was a mass murderer, torturer and oppressor of his own people.

These T-shirts send a message, which effectively boils down to this: I have vague left-wing sympathies but don’t read history. I am educated enough to want nonconformity but not intelligent enough to avoid conformity. I believe in supporting the wretched of the earth but happily purchase products from multinational corporations.

Yes, that’s correct – the far lefts HATE President Bush and call him a war monger without any evidence to back it up, BUT they idolize a murdering communist because his face looks cool on a red tshirt. Can you feeeeeeel the hypocrisy???

I saw on Trying To Grok an interesting article about how fanatics are too quick to jump on the bandwagon (big surprise) before really taking just one freakin’ minute to understand what it is they are paying tribute to by wearing such paraphernalia (Pointing a big foam finger at Cameron Diaz right now).

If you believe in the freedom of the press, the right to belong to a political party of your choice, the due process of law, and/or private property, then Che Guevara was a monster, plain and simple.

I mean this is like someone going around with a picture of Charlie Manson or Adolf Hitler adorning their chest. Good grief, people, get a fucking clue.  I totally get it now when the older generation looks down on the younger generation and can only shake their heads in disappointment.  I’m officially grizzled.  Who knew it would happen at 30???

Reading further into the article turns out these far-left “hipsters” are not necessarily evil in that they LOVE to oppress the folks into bread lines but that they just are part of another ideology – stupidity. Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat? Are you telling me my girl Cam isn’t a member of the Common Sense Club???? Say it ain’t so, giiiiiiiiiiirlfriend!

Cameron Diaz is not, of course, a communist. She’s a ditz — that’s her ideology. Her Mao bag was tasteless, not evil.

Well, there you have it folks. Far-lefts tend to be idiots when it comes to picking out idols to admire. And yet they wonder why in the world we aren’t quick to jump on the kool-aid bar car when it comes to taking economic policy advice from their Messiah.
