November 7th, 2012 - Day 1 of the Restoration of America's Greatness

we have about 24 weeks left until election day, and in order that I may justly be able to say "I told you so", I am taking the time right now to tell you exactly how things are going to come to pass between now and November 6th 2012. The fact is, I already prognosticated this outcome back previous to the November 2010 midterm elections, but as time passes and events continue to unfold, my forecast is only being substantiated and reaffirmed.

On November 7th, 2012, Barack Hussein Obama will be available for employment. This is and has been an unavoidable fact since just prior to the 2010 midterms when the last hope of the independent voter that Barack Obama truly had this nation's best interest in mind was unceremoniously and quite thoroughly dashed. Using only empirical evidence, namely the RESULTS of the 2010 midterms, that is precisely what occurred. Between then and now, the man has only continued to expend his efforts doing what he has done all along: ignoring the overwhelming majority of this country's citizenry and feeding into his narcissistic fantasy of recreating America in his own image. He continues to openly defy and violate the core precepts that are the framework for this nation and the reason for its greatness; he continues to allow his lust for power to dictate his every move; and he continues to make it more than obvious that the will of the people matters not one iota. Unfortunately for him, and fortunately for us, no amount of greed and tantruming on his part will nullify the processes that our founding fathers so wisely and providentially put into place and set in stone on parchment over 200 years ago. To his utter chagrine, he is bound and confined to the space clearly defined for the executive branch, and though he has exerted enormous efforts to extend his dominion beyond those bounds, never the less it has kept his grand and dangerous delusions in check. As I fondly like to analogize, the midterm elections of 2010 wherein we the people made our voices heard and our wills known and took away the dictator in chief's influence in the House of Representatives, were the neutering of Obama, handicapping him and minimizing the amount of additional damage he would be able to do until we fired him two years later.

And so now we are in the home stretch, the finish line is clearly in sight. The miniscule, yet extremely vocal, minority that is the fringe left who are addicted to Obama and the socialist kool-aid they all partake of, are horrified at the reality they see yet do not allow themselves to comprehend nor accept. As November 6th approaches, and as they see the failure of their radical, desperate attempts at inciting turmoil, division, and fear in the general population of good, hard-working Americans who are grounded in reality, equity, and the good foundations their ancestry so faithfully laid for them, they become yet more desperate. Somehow believing that we the people are nothing but mindless sheep who are able to be swayed and convinced that truth is something other than it is by merely saying so, they are in one last desperate attempt to realize their grand yet mortally flawed vision for this nation, amassing heaps of devalued currency together and waging a media campaign the likes of which has not nor will probably ever be seen again. The president himself is displaying obvious signs of his own elevated levels of anguish and anxiety,  as he too is painfully aware that his days are indeed numbered. He dares not attempt to run on his abysmal record of accomplishment over the past three years, for he has none; he dares not try to leverage his vast wisdom and experience as a reason why he should be given more time in office, for he has none. His tactic, then, and his ONLY option at this juncture, is to open his tired old playbook, which ironically enough he himself openly and publicly condemned in his own election in 2008, and focus all of his and his minions' efforts on attempting to distract, scare, and disorient the American people. The unions, who only continue to exist due to the fact that some states still mandate membership, will squeeze every last penny from their members and use them as pawns in blatantly staged and fluffed protests. The Soros types will continue to fund and fuel the hordes of poorly written sign-bearing, disoriented, misinformed, unemployed, lost homeless, hippies, and youth to occupy and befoul public areas in select cities. The mainstream media will continue with its transparently false attempt to paint, analyze, and comprehend a political landscape that is as far from factual representation as possible. And the desperate, liberal peons who chant and cheer in the dim light of their laptops from their tiny overpriced apartments will continue to abuse Twitter's abuse reporting feature to try and temporarily silence the conservative purveyors of truth.

It's laughable. It's a bit sad. It's shameful. It's desperate. But the fact is, if the Obama campaign purchased all of the air time on every television and radio station twenty four hours a day seven days a week from now until November 6th, and if every socialist-minded cheerleader in the entire nation donated all of their life savings toward the cause of trying to convince me and millions and millions of people like me that I should WANT Obama to continue to lead the nation I love, those efforts would STILL fail miserably. No amount of propaganda, sweet words, and lies would change the price at the pump. None of it would  give families back their homes. It would not change Obama's own history of having the audacity to dismiss the will of the people and supplant it with his own condescending judgments. Mr. President, extreme democratic politicians, and every individual out there reading this who believes that Obama's vision, policies, track record, and point of view is what this great nation needs in order for it to continue being great: this year will not be one you'll be able to count as a success. Quite the opposite, this is the year when you will find yourself and your personal politics ostrecized, castigated, and banished while we replace our nation's governmental bodies with representation who will do exactly that: represent the conservative, moral, capitalistic, and historically sound principles that constitute the foundation and are the catalyst that have made and will keep America great.

You have only three options at this point. You can choose to open your mind to this reality and attempt to find your place in this grand restoration of which you are on the verge; you can retain a good therapist who can assist you in opening your mind to this reality and attempt to find your place in this grand restoration of which you are on the verge; or, you may choose to simply wallow in perpetual disdain and complaint for what truly is the greatness of America. Like it or not, sacrifice or not, your socialistic, self-destructive vision for America shall not come to pass. This is the fact, and this is the reality of November 6th, 2012. So say I.

Point Counterpoint: .NET Rules

Content Warning: If you are a narcissistic .NET programmer who truly believes that .NET is indeed the best approach to web development. this post may enflame the suicidal tendencies you already possess but manage to suppress via the placebos and affirmations of your fellow .NET narcissists. I hold no responsibility and am not liable for any harm, whether physical or psychological, that may come to you as a result of ingesting the observations that follow.

THE TOPIC


There are some who hold to the belief that CFML programmers aren't real programmers and that, due to the relatively low learning curve involved with acquiring the CFML skillset, literally anybody can learn it. Additionally, this fact leads those who utilize .NET on a daily basis to conclude that code written using CFML is a scourge to the ecosphere of web based applications.

POINT

There is no point.

COUNTERPOINT

Narcissistic .NET programmer, you ignorant, misguided, liberal, Mountain Dew snorting, wheezing slut. You, who teeters on the brink of full blown homosexuality, have had your head stuck so far up the dark putrid rectum of .NET for so long that if you were ever to pull it out and see the light of day, your shriveled, receded, nearsighted eyeballs would immediately explode upon contact with the real world of programming. At the sound of this explosion, CFML programmers would immediately rush toward you and skull phuck your orbital sockets, attempting (in vain) to inject your brain with a dose of the common sense and reason of which it is completely and totally void. But should, by some miracle, those undulating bits of understanding make their way to the emaciated remnants of your cerebral cortex and grant you the ability to glimpse for just a moment the facts of the matter, you would immediately discern the wisdom of the CFML programmer in working smarter, not harder. You would begin to salivate as you realized that, for all these years, whereas you have been architecting solutions to scoot a chair from one side of a room to the other utilizing ever increasingly complex levels of sado-masochistic ropes, pullies, fog machines, duct tape, nail guns, and politicians, the CFML programmers have been architecting solutions that simply required the code to...pick the chair up, walk it across the room, and put it down again. You would weep openly at the epiphany that, whereas the .NET programmer has for years been utilizing an overly complicated language littered with operating system dependencies, the management of which consumed the bulk of their miserable, sexless lives, the CFML programmer has been thriving and growing while utilizing a language that has continued to evolve in its abstraction of its Java base to the point where the CFML programmer needs not, like the .NET programmer, learn to equate pain with accomplishment, and can rather focus on creating works of art, while receiving an endless supply of sex from beautiful women, that are scalable, web-based, applications.

Unfortunately for you, no amount of skullphucking you will ever result in anything more than you walking around with orbital sockets that have been used, abused, and are permanently chaffed, and as you have learned to be quite content with the stench of the .NET rectum in which you happily reside and the severe levels of pain and bondage required to produce workable products using .NET, you are doomed to forever despise the language that so contrasts that to which you are married and, if you were to ever admit the truth, you would immediately implode in upon yourself and become and even larger black hole than you already are.

You, Narcissistic .NET programmer, are quickly becoming a programming species that resides lower on the evolutionary ladder than those who leverage the simplicity and efficiency of CFML to allow for true Rapid Application Development. You're a throwback, a genetic and social deformity, whose sole source of purpose and reason for existence is incestuously derived from the sickeningly over-complicated code you puke up in between porn breaks in your mildewed cubicle while bathed in the glow of your four 22 inch flat panel monitors. It is only in being forced to type out ten lines of code to iterate over a data set while you drool over your keyboard because of the red rubber ball that .NET has tightly forced into your mouth that you manage to keep from overdosing on RedBull in order to end the misery that is your professional life.

Ah, and what for you is a still fairly recent embrace of the mysterious, ethereal, mystical world of frameworks that has appeared on the horizon of the primitive, strictly procedural world that you've lived within for as long as you've been free from your momma's titty has resulted in further fanning the faux fires of your narcissism, causing you to believe that the utterance of the magic words you barely comprehend, such as "MVC", gives you further super powers over those utilizing CFML. Unbeknownst to you, when you were first uttering the sickening squeels of the braingasm that ensued when a fellow Narcissistic .NETter first revealed the idea of frameworks to you at one of your monthly pizza-greased user group orgies, the CFML people were watching you and wondering sadly to themselves, "he just now heard about this?".

To further supplement your utterly false belief that you are indeed a genius for managing to set a variable through five layers of aggregated class instances, you maintain a virtual social life online in WoW, where you can wallow in the constant drone of your fellow narcissistic .NETters who reaffirm to you that you are indeed the shiznit, as they dote on you and beg for code snippets which they immediately discard the moment you IM them.

You, Narcissistic .NETter, are an idiot for clinging to the vapor that working harder signifies some level of intelligence that transcends that of those who work smarter, and you are doomed to never know the true meaning of art when it comes to application architecture and development. Those programmers who do possess true intelligence, as witnessed and confirmed by the fact that they are capable of seeing the usefulness and beauty in nth generation languages that, while providing a highly abstracted level of interface to the underlying language still provide the ability to access those lower levels when the scenario warrants it, will continue to pity you and sidestep your highly failed attempts at ascerting your superiority over us, like so much dog feces on the sidewalk.

On the bright side, and to give you hope for one day of achieving a reason to continue existing, CFML developers are always eager to show you the world of true RAD. The door is always open, we will not judge you for your years of being a .NET prostitute, and we will glady share with you the beauty of simplicity.

Comments will be disabled for this post. BUT, if you would like to contact me directly, you can do so from the right hand column. If your message is especially colorful and entertaining, I'll go ahead and add it to this post. Oh, and please don't be anonymous; if you want to rant at me, use your name and don't be a douche. :)
