Several of our friends have been discussing the recent events in
|
||
Russia, wondering WHY IN HELL there is not more of a public outcry
|
||
made about how Yeltsin has "taken over." Come on, you don't just
|
||
DISSOLVE sections of the government JUST BECAUSE THEY DON'T COMPLY
|
||
TO YOUR WISHES. So our government just nods their collective heads
|
||
and sends letters of congratulations. And leave it up to Joe Bob to
|
||
have to bring it to the public sensibility with his excellent
|
||
repartee'. So here tis'.

From the Dallas Observer October 21 - 28th edition
|

Film - Joe Bob Briggs
|
||
|
||
I've got a question.
|
||
|
||
Why would 19 Parliamentary democracies "praise" a man WHO ABOLISHES
|
||
a parliament?
|
||
|
||
Maybe there's something I don't understand about Yeltsin. Maybe I'm
|
||
naive. Maybe I'm a man who sleeps in his underwear. But something
|
||
is seriously WRONG here when all the FREE governments of the world,
|
||
including our own Newnited States, give three cheers for a guy who's
|
||
over there OUTLAWING political parties, closing down newspapers, and
|
||
generally acting like...well...kinda like a Commie DICTATOR.
|
||
|
||
Okay, look, they had this Parliament that had a lot of loudmouth
|
||
guys trying to stop all the reforms, right? And a lot of 'em were
|
||
Commies. And a lot of 'em were these weirdbeard ultra-right loonies
|
||
who wanna bring back the czar. And they didn't give two diddly
|
||
squats for the welfare of the country - they just wanted to stop
|
||
Yeltsin.
|
||
|
||
To which I say, SO WHAT? Isn't this the same dang thing that
|
||
happens in the Eyetalian Parliament every day of the week? Aren't
|
||
these Communists acting exactly like the Communists in the FRENCH
|
||
Parliament? Don't all the looney political parties ALWAYS band
|
||
together and gang up on the majority party?
|
||
|
||
|
||

|
||
|
||
But THEY WERE ELECTED, RIGHT? They got their jobs FAIR AND SQUARE,
|
||
RIGHT? There were a bunch of Russian citizens who went to the polls
|
||
and marked "Commie" on the ballot. So it's not like they're
|
||
Stalin's Communists, who never faced a fair election in their lives.
|
||
They're just like those racists they always elect in Louisiana.
|
||
Everybody shrugs their shoulders and says, "How'd they get elected
|
||
again? I didn't vote for 'em. Did you vote for 'em?" But they're
|
||
ELECTED, and so they GET TO STAY in the legislature. You don't have
|
||
to like 'em. You just have to agree THAT THEY WERE ELECTED.
|
||
|
||
And so what are you SUPPOSED to do if you don't like the way things
|
||
are going in Parliament?
|
||
|
||
YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO RESIGN!
|
||
|
||
This triggers new elections.
|
||
|
||
You're not supposed to MAKE EVERYBODY ELSE RESIGN!
|
||
|
||
No wonder the guys were holed up in the Parliament building with
|
||
Kalashnikov AK-47's.
|
||
|
||
You know what their number one demand was?
|
||
|
||
ACCESS TO THE MEDIA.
|
||
|
||
They didn't wanna KILL Yeltsin. They wanted to BE HEARD.
|
||
|
||
But, as it turned out, they get their newspaper OUTLAWED. They
|
||
ended up in prison. And the Commie Party was ABOLISHED.
|
||
|
||
Now, in order to make the circle complete, they should all ask for
|
||
political ASYLUM in France or Italy, where the Communist Party is
|
||
STILL LEGAL.
|
||
|
||
And as to the Czar-loving right-wingers, they probly feel this is
|
||
just "business as usual." Communists, Yelsinites, what DIFFERENCE
|
||
does it make?
|
||
|
||
They all EVENTUALLY THROW YOU IN JAIL.
|
||
|
||
All this is very Russian and very understandable.
|
||
|
||
What I don't understand is WHY do WE APPROVE OF IT? I don't think
|
||
WE'D REACT the same way if Clinton CANCELED the Congress. Or maybe
|
||
we WOULD. Maybe we've ALL BECOME Commies. What are we SAYING in
|
||
Russia - that we WANT democracy, but NOT TOO MUCH OF IT JUST YET?
|
||
|
||
Obviously it's TOO MUCH for me to figure out.
