Since Matt Drudge broke the Monica Lewinsky scandal, Democrats have loathed his website and his popularity, and Republicans obviously praised him and reveled when they received his accolades. But in the process of maturing, the Drudge Report has evolved into a website that has a newfound libertarian zeal–it began linking to Alex Jones’ Infowars early in 2011 but still sticks to his roots by linking stories about Art Bell’s return to radio.
Drudge is an interesting character.. but go back to his famed speech to the press corps in the late 1990s, during the early internet’s wild west days.. he’s a lover of freedom. So why would anyone be shocked at his latest Tweets involving the Republican party?
Drudge tweeted two interesting items tonight..
It’s now Authoritarian vs Libertarian,” Drudge tweeted. “Since Democrats vs. Republicans has been obliterated, no real difference between parties…
But he didn’t stop there..
“Who are they?!’
Who are they indeed….who are they..
Who is Matt Drudge?
I would call him a lover of freedom, and an inspiration for the HORROR REPORT back in the year 2001, before 9/11 and when I was just 21 and dumb…
And now I’m 33 and half of 66, trying to figure out what the hell happened to me.
But Matt Drudge did not lose his mind. He became himself.
Drudge is Drudge and he’ll dig up sludge.. and link to interesting stories and characters in our time. He’s the cutting edge still, even with his mid 90s’ website design.
Democrats still won’t like him, but Republicans? They’ll hate him now..
But dig deep, humans.. dig deep! Are you a Democrat? A Republican? and…either way what the hell does that mean? Are you really in lockstep with a party platform? Are you really in favor of a war in Syria simply because your dear leader said so–and were you in favor of Iraq because that former dear leader sold his party to the idea that will lead to decades of birth defects thanks to depleted uranium?
Think deep.. be real.
And in the privacy of a dark room, look at yourself in the mirror and ask, who are you? I bet if you’re honest, you will cease being a Democrat, or Republican, and instead you’ll just be… a person. A human. One with questions and desires, likes and dislikes… you will not fit into the mainstream. Because there is no mainstream.
And as Drudge wrote in his book years back, if you’re bored? It’s because you’re boring.
