Couples Counseling


Knock it off!

Knock it off left
Knock it off right.
Democrats and Republicans need to stop the fight.
Yes one side won and one side lost, but the infighting is coming at a huge, huge cost.
You both need each other, that’s a fact.
Now shut the fuck up and don’t kick the cat.
(I’m not Maya Angelou. You’re lucky it rhymed)


The State of the Union needs couples counseling. We have the conservatives and liberals and looking at them seems like watching a bad marriage, probably Paula Abdul’s marriage where you just throw insults at each other at every chance you get and blame each other for everything. You know what I mean, one of those couples that really should just shut up and stop arguing. I mean the marriage just broke down into name calling and arguing about everything where you just keep on fighting about nothing and not really getting anything solved. Seems like a bad episode of Dharma and Greg. Anyway we as a nation need a trial separation or a break in the relationship. The way liberals and conservatives keep demonizing each other and point out each others flaws will only really serve to add to the tension and problems we already got, and we gots a lot! It’s not a simple matter of just going by ideals and appreciating the differences and seeing that those differences make our country great and strong. It’s really at least trying to understand each other to make it work

Conservatives, stop it. Honestly you have to stop seeing liberals as bleeding hearts that don’t have enough balls to take care of matters of war or crime or immigration. I mean really, violence really isn’t always the answer, it is festive though. And capitalism kicks ass…to an extent. Communism sucks, yes. Socialism is kinda iffy. And yes somethings are good to be conservative on. But killing everything in sight and blaming it all on immigrants isn’t the answer. Plus, we violated human rights pure and simple. Terrorism aside, there are some things that we shouldn’t have done. AND GLOBAL WARMING IS REAL!

Liberals, knock it off. Conservatives aren’t that simplistic, bible thumping, gun toters who hate gays and minorities. They got some value to their opinions too and the republicans don’t simply represent the rich and religious. It’s about people who want to keep what they got, a bit of an old school way of thinking with pulling yourself up by your bootstraps but it’s got some merit to it. Also, immigrants do need to learn English. If I moved to France, I’d learn French. If I went to Antarctica, I’d learn to speak to the penguins. If I was in Italy, I’d learn to cuss a lot and speak with my hands more. So stop crying over everything. AND STOP WHINIING AND DO SOMETHING DEMOCRATS!

Honestly we just some time apart would be good since the two halves of America can go hang out with our best friends Canada and Mexico. Canada would be the understanding close friend that you always were attracted to but never really acted upon it, nevertheless you guys are close (conservatives). Mexico would be the drunk slightly slutty friend where you go party and sleep with to forget the previous bad relationship (liberals). England would be the visiting friend that would say I told you so and look down upon us secretly with the other nations because England wants to be down with everyone else but still be friends.

So all I have to say America, in all seriousness, splitting really isn’t a viable option since that Civil War a long time ago was not a good thing and one now would be worse. I mean everyone’s got guns now that don’t twenty minutes to reload. It’s time to seriously begin to embrace the forgotten child of the marriage between liberals and conservative, moderates. Yes no ones really happy but you’re not really unhappy with moderation and some things you may have to give up to gain grounds on the things you really want. Yes Obama promised change but it’s not good enough for us to expect the government to deliver it. We have to start with “the man in the mirror” (hmmm….maybe I should write a song about that) and just get along and stop attacking people for their beliefs. Not exactly what the founding fathers kinda wanted. We don’t have to agree, but at least respect the opinions and know when you can’t change someone’s mind.

So remember America, never go to bed angry. Instead engage in angry make up sex.
