What with petty dictatorships moving from the Middle East into American governorships, it’s America’s turn to cast off the pretense of democracy and submit to the moneyed monarchy of the GOP.

The surrender of so significant a proportion of the American middle class to excommunication from home, economy and effective voting rights demands the elimination of the word “choice” from the political vocabulary. Therefore, I propose we retreat quietly Bachmanwards with Michelle, Pile in with Palin, walk along with Wisconsin’s Walker, nestle with The Newt, retreat to the Ice Age with Darrell Issa and shelter ourselves in our own right wing of the tax-free cave.

Governed by nothing more explosive than our own emotions and regulated by no power stronger than a fellow cave-dweller’s dictatorial thunk with a club, we’d be freed the cumbersome burden of thinking for ourselves and relying on kindergarten labels like “them Commies and Socialists.”

No tea-party organization would have to pretend to democratic legitimacy and bother itself with the usual lies, distortions, religious hypocrisy and smears concerning the legitimacy of a democratically-elected American president.

No need would exist for the wealthy tax-collecting tax evader to provide the public with police protection, firemen, infrastructure or educational mumbo-jumbo.

We must ask ourselves the most fundamental of fundamental questions: What truly righteous man is going to trade God’s Edenic security, threatened by the sin of - 1 - 2 knowledge, for the comfort and longevity provided by the creative minds of an -intellectual or scientific community?

Let us simply cast out all scientific discovery, all medical miracles, all control of the elements since Christ walked the earth, along with the Liberals who would advocate yet more ungodly interference with the scriptures.

It’s time we tune out that recurring music that persists in echoing “Sweet Land of Liberty” in our psyches, clinging only to the simplicity of the past and facing the fact that we may never know why evil keeps getting in the way of righteousness.

A rather basic selfishness, too, must be overcome if we are to assign political blame to those who would hang onto the impediment of trade-union trivia that gets in the way of capitalist enterprise. We don’t want to be ungenerous about demanding jobs and roof-over-the-head luxuries.

Think of all the spare yachts we’re depriving the two percent of us who need them to sail off to the Cayman Islands to haul back greenbacks from their overseas accounts. Let’s just hand over the social security that was taken out of our lifetime wages and stop puffing up the deficit with health-care issues.

Back to the cave, bat-people, and glorify the freedom of a jobless existence that no longer obligates us to tax our incomes for the welfare of the wealthy.

Unmolested by TV sermons with their bribery bid for salvation, the congregation need no longer sponsor worship of the almighty dollar. The more personal touch of a live representative like Pat Robertson could bless the moralistic majority in Cavedwellerdom.

With such close contact to Mother Nature’s winds and whims, the commandments would take on a more elemental meaning, now easily ignored by those safe in their socialized 3 settings.

Validated by fundamentalist interpreters of Biblical truth according to Whomever, Natural Man would be provided entertainment by Glen-Beckoning visits from the Caucasian Asylum; fed Rush Limbaughers to sate their hungry hatred against competitive tribes.

Apples, of course, would be outlawed.

For variety and sobriety relief, there could be daily weep-a-thons courtesy of Boehner and The Banality Chorale. The old sermon on knowledge-as-sin would continue to promote the kind of ignorance that’s leading us back, mentally and bodily, to poverty’s prime-evil precincts. An honest solution to reproductive de-regulation could be easily inaugurated.

The only kind of abortion tolerated would be that of women’s raped bodies and souls, Determined to remain implanted by men who will never have to bear or nourish them, fertilized eggs might even evolve to human-fetus stage before starvation, disease, lack of pre-natal care and their mothers’ death in child-birth sent them dust-to-dust, deprived, even, of the opportunity to curse Viagra and die.

Free of the competition that birth-control has imposed on terrified little men who need to assert their masculinity by bullying women into the smotherhood of motherhood, Mister Master would prevail once again.

Not only in the home-cave, but down yonder in the fortified castle, oil-greasy little tyrants like Bart Stupak and Florida’s Governor Scott could lead the way in dragging women by the hair, back to the kitchen and bedroom—back to the cave.

A man’s castle being his cave, any male of cave-man mentality could “persuade” any woman—especially a woman who frightened him with her intellectual “witchcraft” 4 into the safety net of his “protective” ownership.

Let no other sub-human of his species dare knock her up and about, lest Lord and Master be forced to inflict punishment Ah, but how silly for any real man to worry about that! Reinforced by low-browed brutality, a priest-powered guilt-guild would, as it often does, condemn the “little woman” to her place.

Along with her dozen or so children, should she survive their birth and dependent years, she would endure the captivity of her own reproductive condition, dutifully submissive to Father/Priest/King/Owner.

There are, of course, those belligerents in American society comparable to the Tunisians and Egyptians who’ve rebelled against their masters in recent protest and emerged victorious against tyranny.

Disgusted here at home with the corporate thievery that has been lobbied into a congress bought and sold by political and judicial corruption, our country’s comparable opponents of the greedy, the cheating and the destroyers of democracy dare to object.

Aware of the millionaires’ manipulation of America’s Tea Party Taliban, those who have bothered to acquaint themselves with American history recognize the difference between Democracy, Plutocracy, and the kind of stupidity that doesn’t recognize the difference between them.

Educated people know that Social Security is not a gift of the government but rather a savings for retirement taken out of the citizen’s life-long wages. But that problem is easily eliminated by eliminating education altogether.

A dangerous awareness of being led toward planetary oblivion through climate change and overpopulation isn’t going to happen if we simply close our eyes and ears to such rumors. Immunity from the sufferings of our neighbors can be 5 easily achieved if we confine our sympathy to mouthing pious phrases or conveniently ignoring the Christian commandment to love our neighbors as ourselves.

So go lightly into pre-civilization’s dark cave if you must. But if, like Dylan Thomas, you choose not to “go gently into that good night, “rage, rage at the dying of the light.”
