More on The "Bigger Prick Foreign Policy" Theory

Take a look at this cartoon from Ward Sutton at The Village Voice and then tell me that George Carlin isn't right about his "Bigger Prick Foreign Policy" Theory:



"To me, war is a lot of prick waving...simple thing, that's all it is - a whole lotta men standing out in a field waving their pricks at one another. Men are insecure about the size of their dicks and so they have to kill one another over the idea. That's what all that asshole jock bullshit is all about. That's what all that adolescent macho male posturing and strutting in bars and lockerooms is all about. It's called "dick fear." Men are terrified that their pricks are inadequate and so they have to compete with one another to feel better about themselves and since war is the ultimate competetion, basically men are killing each other in order to improve their self esteem. You don't have to be a historian or a political scientist to see the 'Bigger Dick Foreign Policy' theory at work. It sounds like this: 'What??? They have bigger dicks??? Bomb them!!!' And of course the bombs and the rockets and the bullets are all shaped like dicks. It's a subconscious need to project the penis into other people's affairs. It's called fucking with people..." -- George Carlin


Funny stuff, but also dead on. Listen to Shrub, Cheney, Rove, Rummy or an assorted group of neocon pundits (like Bobo Brooks, Krauthammer, Kristol, Frum) and neocon pundit wanna be's (like Peter Beinart) and it's not too difficult to see that a) they're insecure and b) they're tough guy macho bullshit is meant to compensate for their insecurity.

Jesus, can't we get these fucking guys some penis pumps or something instead of having to listen to them drum up hundreds of bullshit reasons why we have to keep bombing the fuck out of every country that they don't like and/or get along with?

Comments:
Leaving aside the anti-semitic comment (which speaks for itself, I think), I would have to say that conservatives certainly THINK they have bigger "cocks" (or "balls" or "guts" or whatever silly euphemism we want to use for "courage"), but the insecurity inherent in the words and actions of many of them belies this. Bullies like Bush and Cheney may like to act "manly," but I guarantee you they don't feel so "manly" on the inside. Otherwise, why spend so much time telling people how tough and manly they are?
 
Women don't have pricks. Maybe having more women in power would be a good start towards achieving peace in our time? 'Course, there's always the risk you'd get ones like Hillary Clinton, who seems to suffer from a severe case of penis envy.
 
jean, I tend to agree, although there are just enough Jean Schmidts around to make me also worry.
