True stream of conservativeness.

I recently started looking for people to play music with. I decided that i would post in the musicians section of Craigs list:

I'm a newish guy to the band mates thing... Shit how does one do this: Hey there I am a totally confident somewhat talented guy who can sorta play guitar but has some decent original songs in a needs work condition..... Yeah thats about right. Names Jason I'm 28 I have played acoustic guitar for over a decade but that isn't to imply that I could meet your demand to hammer out a major pentatonic scale ( warning I just made up that string of words) it would suggest however that I am comfortable with expanding my skills and meeting the needs of jamming and playing in the starter level of a band. I don't own a home studio I dont have what ever the **** pro gear implies but I do have calloused fingers a soulful approach to song writing and a pretty bad ass little Talkamine g330 that hasn't treated me wrong yet. I want to jam man just get together and play some music hit me back if you're over 21 years old an in a similar condition.

I've had tons of responses which is new and different for DFW, kind of feels like there might be a bit of an art scene revival. Odd considering Texans recently voted to create such a super majority for the GOP. Why would it be that I would consider an increase in Republican presence and power as a decrease in human creativity and expression? Lets dive into that one shall we? I think that my growing up in the bible belt might have something to do with it. Or there is perhaps the penalty for an accurate description of political preference.

CONCERVATIVE the concept hits me some place between cerebral and soulful. I think of Pentecostal women, of southern Baptist churches boycotting Disney movies, I recall the time my sister burned her cd collection at the behest of a youth minister. Minister o the youth at a nondenominational church. These concepts of conservatism are directly related to morals, value systems and hypocrisy. I rationally know that this has no bearing on the representation of the fiscal views of either of the two major political parties. But there is something about the unfolding of the agenda of the right wing that strikes me as being slightly inhuman, frigid maybe? I don't know. I think the problem is a lack of education. Maybe I just don't know enough about the systems in play to understand what I am feeling about them. I like the idea of reigning in power, of creating real time transparency where available. Audit the Fed and all that jazz. But I fear the outcome of holding too closely to the free market society. To be honest I don't think that either models of operation are correct, I think there has to be an in between out there. Furthermore I believe that Barack Obama is a representation of the concept but that his efforts were so far out of line with the expectations that the old boys club expected that he had no choice but to aim for the moon with his administration knowing full well that there was only going to be a bit of mediocrity. I wonder. Truly wonder what things would be like if this man were a white man. I think he would be equally hated by both sides giving too much to one to make them work with the other can cause resentment in the small minded politicos of today. And the unfortunate truth is that some things do transcend race.

And then enter the Tea Party: I find that most of these folks have a few things in common. A desire to reduce the size of government and a desire to see a third party movement succeed. The Tea Party as it was in 2008 was something to see, a phenomenal example of the internet's power to unite peoples and raise funds and influence change. My interpretation of the current myriad of persons sporting a "Tea Party" logo is that there are a lot of people that seem to believe that xenophobic, homophobic opinions are accepted and are in fact examples of the mind set of Tea Party members. I believe the downfall to have been the very concept that the tea party guys want to enforce and uphold. you might say that they out conservative themselves. Money Bombs. Remember that vulgar name? Just a few years after 9/11 and in the midst of a recession it became popular to request and organize frequent internet based fund raising. "Let's break records" and other such encouraging slogans floated through my inbox with such frequency as to create a nice sold retinal scar. When the control was small or even pure, and by that I mean that it was not really lead by a single person but was truly a representation of citizens fears and concerns the money involved was a respected force. IF we follow the money we see that is no longer the case: http://www.guardian.co.uk/commentisfree/cifamerica/2010/oct/25/tea-party-koch-brothers

I believe the Tea Party movement is completely subverted by GOP interests and agendas. And that by so doing the G.O.P. has successfully destroyed a possible third party uprising. Leaving all these people that vote libertarian and "tea Party" un satisfied. Their change didn't come, it was raped and stolen.

I started writing this post about 2 hours ago, it started as a story about a weird guy i met in order to try and find a way to play music again, but instead I went into a political slant. I write everything prior to actually reading the full article that i posted here and prior to actually watching the video I have linked here. seems like a case of God smack to me.
