Trippitorial - "Legitimate Republicans"

 

As Republicans gather like storm clouds over Miami to outline a plan to dismantle the social safety net, it’s important to point out that the Republican Party has been taken over by the Christian right and other fundamentalist fringe elements.

This is not the party of Lincoln or Goldwater or Reagan or even Nixon.  I think if Richard Nixon where here today, he might say, “I am not a ghost.”

I miss the Republican Party of Richard Nixon when there wasn’t a problem that couldn’t be fixed by a couple of Cubans.

Richard Nixon used to answer reporters’ questions, even if the answer was, “Fuck you!” Whenever a reporter asks Mitt Romney a legitimate question, his brain has ways to try to shut that whole thing down. Richard Nixon…Now more than ever.

Republicans opinion of women seems to be based on a religious fundamentalist belief in the subjugation of women, whose main purpose in life should be to reproduce whether they like it or not. And they’d really prefer to have sons. And don’t forget to cook dinner.

It’s the party of white men who like their white women where they belong.

This is not your father’s Republican Party. This is the Koch brothers Republican Party.

When Abraham Lincoln said, “You can fool some of the people all of the time, and all of the people some of the time, but you cannot fool all of the people all of the time,” I don’t think he meant it as a challenge.

I’ll be tweeting the Republican convention @thejamestripp.

Also, my novel, the Hierophant is now in paperback and on Kindle and is available at Amazon.com and other online booksellers. It’s a good book. You could start a religion with this book. Of course, it’s not one I’d follow.

Trippitorial - "Doping"

Recently I have been accused by the Olympic committee of using performance enhancing drugs to write my Trippitorials. I would like to categorically deny this. I don’t think the drugs I’m taking are enhancing anything.

No doctor who has seen my act has ever thought there was a drug that could help it. If there was, believe me, I’d be on it. I wish there were drugs that could help me write, or even to understand the things that I’ve written.

I once wrote a joke tripping on acid: “As a child I wanted to be a commercial pilot. As I grew older, I realized, where am I gonna go in thirty seconds?”

A lot of writers do drugs. President Thomas Jefferson used to grow and smoke marijuana. Unalienable rights are something you think about when you’re high, even if you own slaves. It’s like he told Congress, “While I did once experiment with drugs, I never exhaled.”

This is not the first time I’ve been accused of being a dope…doping. When I was in school, a drug test was the only test I could pass.

As a child I had a drug problem. I was addicted to Flintstone chewable vitamins. I had to check myself into the Betty Rubble Center. I wish I was on drugs when I wrote that. Vitamins are a gateway drug.

And remember, the Constitution was written on hemp, but that’s no reason to burn it.
