On September
11th the motorcycle “patriots” descended on Washington DC to defend the United
States against the “evil” army of Islam and preserve the legacy of Patriotism
and Nationalism. Since then, every time I hear those bone chilling un-muffled roars
that drown out all sound and conversation within my head (and my house) I just
can’t help but say: “thank you…Thank you loud pretentious, patriotic motorcycle
people!”

Fast forward to October 11- we have the OTR Truckers driving to Washington DC to clog shit up and make
a general nuisance of themselves. This in order to show the American people’s disapproval
of the government shut down and their colossal quagmire of incompetence. Wow,
this is just amazing! What conviction…What a concept: a couple million smoke
belching, gas guzzling trucks driving around for three days backing up traffic,
honking those bad ass air-horns and sporting the latest fashion of mechanized
civil disobedience. How cool is that!?!
I’m curious
(and maybe you can help me out?) how does noise, pollution/exhaust, and the
waste of time and resources equate to some great earth moving cause worthy of
our admiration? I suggest that all these would-be purveyors of patriotism just
stay home and donate the money they are wasting to some worthy cause that will
actually help someone else- and God forbid- accomplish something! How are they causing a disruption to the government? The bastards are not even
working!
You have heard from me...Now it’s
your turn…
So what do
you think: Are these causes worthy, or are they just acts of grandstanding masquerading
as patriotism and civil disobedience?
