Friday Fun April 3, 2009

After a week of G20 talk, joblessness rising, and shootings on the rise, it's time to start the weekend off in a way I truely never thought I would have...a twitter update. Now, I'm doing this because we may actually be making some headway, however truely small it is. And to add on top of it all, I'll answer the ultimate question of one of America's most beloved almost first daughters...Meghan McCain.

Let me start off by saying that I like Meghan McCain. I think that if she wanted to, she could possibly do wonderful things for her party. So far she doesn't have any dirt on her, no rumored videoes of her doing coke, no sex tapes...all adding up to perfectly good reason's to follow her on twitter like we do. So lets start off this little journey...

Ms. McCain likes to inform her followers about her newest peices in The Dailey Beast. So she sent out her notice about her favorite freshman congressman from Illinois.

We sent out a reply stating that if you read ours we'll read yours. No respond. Well, Ms. McCain puts out a "Song of the Day" and so we put out song of the week was "How I Can Just Kill A Man" by Rage Against the Machine.

Later in the week she posted "Can I still be a fan of Rage Against The Machine if my Dad is "The Machine".....?"

Coincedence? Probably, I mean why would Meghan McCain want to read our silly little blog for? Or maybe, just maybe, she IS.

So, we will take it upon ourselves to answer your questions. And the answer is, I'm sorry to say...NO! Rage, unlike many other bands found on mainstream media are more then just a badass beats by the band and great flow from Zach de la Roach. Rage Against the Machine is also about the message. It's about anti-Capitalism. While they appeal to this young generation that is dissastisfied with the establishment to the point all you really have to do to win the presidentcy is threaten 4 more years of the establishment. We are SO hungry for change that we ate the word up and turned it into a catch phrase for capitalistic profit. That is not the change Rage talks about. It is the complete oppsite, it's what Rage rages against.

Upon looking back at Meghan McCain's twitter, she wrote that one of her songs of the day was Renagades of Funk. Lyrics of that song, more specifically as it opens, goes: "Renangades are the people, with their own philosophies. They change the course of history, everyday people like you and me."

Well, it is MY belief that your own philosophies can't be conserned with the strenght of a dying party. And now the dying GOP has talk of a mutinious third party. That is great, even if it is lead by Rush. The country needs more parties then what we have. The two party system is not democratic, it leads itself to the rediculous thoughts that we found in the Kerry/Bush elections of "lesser of two evils". At no time should anyone in a "democratic" society say that they voted the way they did because it was the lesser of two evils. Don't vote then. You have just as much right NOT to vote as you do to vote. This country needs to learn that we will do more to improve our nation if we voted based on the people running and less on the party they're affiliated with. And at NO TIME should there ever be a "straight ticket". Take the time out to learn everyone's position and then vote.

Well, back to the mainpoint. I just don't necessarially think that someone so deep set in one party, especially the Republician Party, can truely appreciate the message sent by Rage Against the Machine. But then again, I could always be wrong, maybe she is a fan and can use their message to change the party, afterall, renegades are everyday people like you and me. C'mon!
