We'll need an enemy that can't be defeated and remains scary forever. I propose we agree to fight a war on Werewolves.

The Time Warp LYRICS
source:O'Brien Richard Time:2005-08-10



Riff-Raff:
It's astounding
Time is fletting
But listen closely
Madness take sit's toll

Magenta:
Not for very much longer

Riff-Raff:
I remember doing the timewarp
I've got to keep control
Drinking those moments when
The blackness would hit me

Both:
And the void would be calling

All:
Let's do the Timewarp again
Let's do the Timewarp again

It's just a jump to the left
Narrator:
All:


And then a step to the right
put your hands on your hips
Narrator:

and bend your knees in time
All:
But it's the pelvic thrust
That really drives you insane
Let's do the Timewarp again
Let's do the Timewarp again

Magenta:
It's so dreamy
Oh fantasy free me
So you can't see me
No not at all
in another dimension
With voyeuristic intension
Well secluded

I'll see all
Riff-Raff:
With a bit of a mind flip

Magenta:
You're into the time slip

Riff-Raff:
And nothing can ever be the same

Magenta:
You're spaced out on sensation
Riff-Raff:

Like you're under sedation

All:
Let's do the Timewarp again
Let's do the Timewarp again

Columbia:
Well I was walking down the street just a having a think
When a snake of a guy gave me an evil wink
He shook-a me up, he took me by surprise
Time meant nothing, never would again
He stared at me and I felt a change

Narrator:
It's just a jump to the left
All:

And then a step to the right

With your hands on your hips

Narrator:
You bring your knees in tight
All:
But it's the pelvic thrust
Let's do the Timewarp again
That really drives you insane
Let's do the Timewarp again

Hmmm, but you know, I don't think that hating 'commies' has actually gone out of style...I mean, consider the feelings towards Castro, Chavez, Kim Il, etc... I think hating commies is still a current thing, but it's been recently overshadowed by hating Muslims. So Kim wouldn't be a 'new' enemy per se...

Yeah they are. Stock up on silver-coated duct tape in case of werewolves trying to get into your house. If you see someone behaving strangely around the full moon report him to Homeland Security immediately.

Besides, imaginary enemies are forever. You just can't ever really defeat them, so we won't need to think up another enemy in the future.

What about Asians? I suspect that's going to be the new 'enemy'...huge and outrageous fears of cultural loss due to economic power and immigration...and I say 'Asians' to purposely blanket-label, because you know that's what is done...it won't just be Chinese, or Japanese...it will be all 'dem Asians'. That's my bet.

I wonder how long it will take us to get sick of DK's 'Asian bashing' threads when Muslim-bashing becomes passe...

Asians sounds good. A good blend of communist and Muslim, and their evil attempts to destroy the environment and our culture by breeding us out.

I thought he was a midget Elvis impersonator ...I forgot he was already a commie...so a already hated group...


But he can be his own sub group .

DK is half Asian. I'm on board though. The slant-eyed, yellow menace must be stopped from somehow destroying western civilization. I think their secret plot involves putting MSG in my Chinese take-out.

DK being half-Asian will just give him 'validity' when he attacks them....an 'insider's right' to bash...

Real thing, but also part of the trade dialect. In any case, I just ripped it off on a whim, no major thought going into it...

You need to think bigger than just individual countries. You'll never make it as a fear-monger otherwise!

Oh, and: Venezuela

How about a new axis of evil consisting of Venezuela, Bolivia, and Brazil along with naming groups like Voz de Aztlan Latino terrorist organizations. It could all tie in with the immigration debate. Is that thinking big enough?

No, it needs to be an abstract noun.

War on loathing, War on paranoia, War on frustration etc etc.

I'm pretty sure on that.

Only if you can convince the English that these particular latinos pose a direct threat to them as well. Otherwise it will just be perceived as regional wackiness on behalf of the US.

They'll be back to hating commies again. Not the "good" commies like the Chinese who drive down the cost of outsourced labor, but the "bad" commies who are elected democratically and try to help their people crawl out of a colonialism induced hell hole.

Actually, we will vote for a damned idiot:

Election: Noun

2. The process in which the populace chooses the lesser of two idiotic damnations.
