monsters

Scream 3, Nightmare on Elm Street 14, Poltergeist 8, all scary movies made one time too many. All horror movies made to remind you that the monster, the devil, the boogie man is still alive still thrives.  Cadres of film ready to instill fear once again, just when you thought the bad guy came to his/her demise. Theatrical productions almost laughing at you because you thought the bad guy lost and the good guys and gals won.

America 2012, Dick Cheney embarks on Washington DC to call upon his GOP brethren to renege on cuts to the budget for the Defense Department. The man who introduced such monsters as Weapons of Mass Destruction, the Iraq War, the the Afghanistan War, the outing of Valerie Plame, Water-boarding and the past CEO of Haliburton Industries is BACK! He has found more enemies ready to turn this nation into a Communist Bastion or a Muslim Kingdom once $5000 toilets are eliminated or $3000 nuts and bolts are replaced or the bottom lines of corporations like Haliburton are diminished due to any defense Department cut. Even as he sets the fire in the theater locking the doors as he exits he shouts run, run before it is too late. And as he runs to his ivory tower he points his fingers like a mad man accusing everyone else as the arsonist.

And even though 174 Republican Congressmen and women voted to cut Defense spending to try to find compromise and balance the budget, Mr. Cheney is roaming the halls of the Capitol turning the cowardly politicians into zombies, vampires and ghouls begging them to “go into light”. It is the 2012 version of America 2001-2009 and somehow the Cheney monster is alive and ready to once again run amok. And like a vampire before he leaves his prey dead, Mr. Cheney is welcomed into the House to spread his venom and vile.

We had 8 years of Cheney leaving a legacy of recession, greed, unemployment, poverty and deconstruction of the Constitution. We saw the really rich become really wealthier, the divide between church and state lessen, civil rights ignored, and rhetoric sounding similar to the days of McCarthy spoken loud and proud. We fought two wars based on one mans desire for power and a lack of demeanor replaced with a lot of delusion.

And now, a monster is rising once again. And now he is once again ready to hide the truth, leave the facts behind, and spread fear and loathing; a ploy so successful in the past to leave the dumb dumber and the angry angrier. Anyone knows after viewing Scream 18, Nightmare on Elm Street 81, Poltergeist 52 that the success of the creature is to find the weak, the self victimized, the loner and to then violate their mere existence.  These monsters live on because those who know better, who should be the first on the firing line, who have the ability to stop the madness sit back on their hands, close their eyes and wait until destruction takes place.

America 2012, is it going to be another version, maybe a 3D version of the horror we faced in the movie America 2001-2009? HELP!!!!
