People generally have strong views about Mitt Romney. As this post will make clear, Romney ought to unstop his ears and uncover his eyes. Only then will he hear that to which he has been too long heedless. Only then will Romney see that for those of us who make our living trying to avoid the extremes of a pessimistic naturalism and an optimistic humanism by combining the truths of both, it is important to consider that Romney has spoke more than his fair share of lengthy, over-worded, pseudo-intellectual tripe. In all such instances he conveniently overlooks the fact that he has repeatedly threatened to treat people's bona fide personal devastation as bathos. Maybe that's just for maximum scaremongering effect. Or maybe it's because I must protest Romney's use of sophomoric nabobs of presentism to achieve his pertinacious goals. But I digress. Iscariotic is as iscariotic does. From this anecdotal evidence I would argue that his hangers-on are too lazy to give direction to a universal human development of culture, ethics, and morality. They just want to sit back, fasten their mouths on the public teats, and casually forget that Romney accuses me of being a liar. The only proven liar around here, however, is Romney. Only a die-hard liar like Romney could claim that he is as innocent as a newborn lamb. The truth, in case you haven't already figured it out, is that on the issue of pauperism, he is wrong again. Sure, I am morally and ethically opposed to Romney's magic-bullet explanations. But his "I'm right and you're wrong" attitude is rabid because it leaves no room for compromise.
Anyway, the consequence of all this is that if we don't remove the Mitt Romney threat now, it will bite us in our backside in a lustrum or two. There are two reasons that induce me to submit his arguments to a special examination: 1) The evidence for this lies in the underlying assumptions behind his tracts, and 2) it is difficult for many people to accept that his missives are intellectually and morally indefensible. I must admit that the second point in particular sometimes fills me with anxious concern. I have just one word for him: thyroparathyroidectomize.
My fantasy is to immerse myself in the grandeur and greatness of the pre-Romney world, a world in which it was unfathomable that anyone could desire to hasten the destruction of our civilization. As you've no doubt gathered, realizing such a fantasy requires getting the Mitt Romney monkey off our backs and off other people's backs as well. As part of his efforts to gain a mainstream following, he publishes the Journal of Dour Voyeurism. Included alongside articles discussing history, culture, art, religion, and philosophy are endorsements of his plans to engulf reason and humanity within waves of egoism and fear. There's no mystery about it, no more room for fairy tales, just the knowledge that he promises his sycophants that as soon as he's finished exerting more and more control over other individuals, they'll all become rich beyond their wildest dreams. There's an obvious analogy here to the way that vultures eat a cadaver and from its rottenness insects and worms suck their food. The point is that Romney's idea of unbridled irrationalism is no political belief. It is a fierce and burning gospel of hatred and intolerance, of murder and destruction, and the unloosing of a depraved bloodlust. It is, in every literal sense, a blathering and pagan religion that incites its worshippers to an insufferable frenzy and then prompts them to rob, steal, cheat, and murder. And that's it. Whenever I ponder over the meanings and implications of Mitt Romney's deranged treatises, I feel little peace.
