Toasting Karl Rove’s Failures

The grand political experiment of exploiting Americans in an effort to reshape the natural course of human events has failed.

Billionaire donors are furious with the dismal outcome of the election. Operatives weaved a false tapestry of historical precedent to persuade GOP contributors.

Karl Rove spent decades serving the Republican Party. After emerging on the national stage during the 1970’s as a charismatic national committee chairman for college republicans, Rove weaseled his way into the highest echelons of political power.

During his re-election speech, George W. Bush thanked, “the architect, Karl Rove,” his strategist and chief-of-staff, for having facilitated the president’s second term by exploiting the fear and hatefulness of insecure Americans through wedge issues including national security and gay rights.

Recognizing Rove’s political foresight and his understanding of social prejudices, Bush coined several other nicknames including “Evil Rasputin”, for Rove’s ability to interpret the reactionary behavior of naive Christians and rural Americans, and “Turd Blossom”, which describes his ability to produce positive outcomes from his dirty tactics.

As an antagonist to human civility, Rove was ironically and appropriately born on December 25, 1950.

For a time, Rove’s historical understanding of American prejudices was masterfully applied to Republican causes in order to achieve the inner circle’s directives. For this reason, he remains as one of the party’s key political strategists.

As a master of modern propaganda, Rove is one of the founders of the “talking point”. Each morning during the faux Bush presidency, White House staff members routinely emailed talking points to cable news producers, newspapers and even clergymen in an effort to corrupt the social narrative.

Another tool used against the populus is the linguist. GOP-trained linguists insert subtle language into the American consciousness to frame an idea in such a way that reason and logical continuity are inconsequential. A term like “job creator” is now falsely equated to company chairmen and small businessmen as opposed to the actual job creators, American consumers. Linguistic “incantations” corrupt the biased masses for personal and political purposes.

The poison of subscribing to a narrative of spite and contempt continues to course through the veins of tens of millions of willingly ignorant and submissive Americans.

The tragedy affects many of our friends and family. As victims of Rove and his affiliates’ social engineering project, we should look upon our loved ones with pity.

That being said, Karl Rove and his cronies are essentially finished. Circumstances show that the 2012 presidential election was a turning point for American progress.

The GOP’s over-esteem of Rove, paired with their certainty in winning the election ensures their collective downfall and ushers in an age of democratic prosperity.

What Rove and fellow republican puppet masters fail to comprehend is the true nature of present day America and the empathetic evolution of our culture. Their wholly inaccurate perspectives are a snapshot of a diminishing history rooted in bigotry and selfishness.

Smarter men than he saw this coming years in advance. In his grand wisdom, President Barack Obama famously stated in 2008, “You’re on the wrong side of history.”

The narrowness of archaic republicans secured democratic sweeps in both the 2008 and 2012 elections. We grow stronger as one nation through Rove’s abysmal judgment of the nature of mankind.

We, the blossoming citizenry of the United States, raise our overflowing glasses in appreciation of his wicked deeds. We couldn’t have done this without him.
