Albuquerque City Councilor Pat Davis was elected in 2015
representing Nob Hill, the International District, Mesa Del Sol, the University
of New Mexico and most of the Southeast Heights area. During his time in
office, he has espoused pro-LGBTQ positions, and would, if elected, become New
Mexico’s first openly gay member of Congress. He is also the founder of the
left-wing advocacy group, “Progress Now New Mexico.”
Davis,
a candidate for the U.S. House of Representatives, is running a 15-second
television ad in which he states: “Fuck
the NRA. Their pro-gun policies have resulted in dead children, dead mothers,
and dead fathers. I’m Pat Davis…and I approved this message, because if
Congress won’t change our gun laws, we’re changing Congress.”
Local
CBS affiliate KRQE was set to air the vulgar ad uncensored recently, saying it
was compelled to do so due to federal election laws that prohibit them from
editing political commercials. The station planned to run a disclaimer
beforehand.
If
Davis is elected this fall, look for other Democratic politicians to mimic his
successful formula in the future. I can easily picture Maxine Waters looking
into the camera and stating, “F---ing right, we’re gonna impeach 45! You can
bet your ass on that!”
Who
among us would be surprised to see a vision of Bernie Sanders appear on our big
screen, blurting out “F—k capitalism,” or “Blow me Sarah Palin?” I wouldn’t be
all that stunned to glimpse an image of Keith Ellington hollering, “Death to
the motherf—king Constitution!” Various pro-abortion candidates might just as
well stare straight into the camera and remark: “Christianity can take it up
the ass!
Nothing
that might be said by the younger, more radical candidates would shock anyone
who’s been on social media in the past few years. Maryland gubernatorial
candidate Ben Jealous (!) could unleash a string of profanity while railing
against the system, use it as a campaign commercial, and it would only solidify
his standing amongst those likely to vote for him.
Speaking
of being jealous, if profanity proves a winning strategy, one can only imagine
what Hillary Clinton will do. My guess is she’d go off like the grand-finale of
a four-letter word fireworks display, blasting out obscenities in colorful, breathtaking bunches. “Why
didn’t I f—king swear more, G-ddammit?! Who knew? If it wasn’t those c—ks-cking
Macedonian content farmers, it was the shit-eating Russians or the bastards in
the motherf--king media! Or Comey, the asshole. Obama, the little pu--y didn’t
stick his scrawny %$)F!N neck out for me, either. That bleeping c-nt Jill Stein
stole enough votes from me for no effing reason, too, tit-less wonder! And,
Bernie Sanders pissed me off royally through the whole damn campaign, the
commie shithead! Then there’s the sexist bitches voting for that dickhead Trump
because their asshole hubbies told them to! Aww, f-ck! And, blow me Sarah
Palin!”
Coarseness
and inelegance rule the day, to the detriment of this republic. Emotion-driven
obscenity is substituted for introspection and logical thought, casual
profanity has become normal discourse. Those who can’t reason, profane. It is
enough to drive a thoughtful person mad. But, if you can’t beat them, join them,
as they say.
So, screw it, who fu-king cares?
