Maybe If This Guy Were Running For President...

I could probably get behind Mr. Jessee if he wanted to run the country.  I mean, damn, just listen to the wisdom this guy spews.  A skate hero of mine since I first saw Streets of Fire, Jason Jessee is fucking awesome and totally represents the individual, free spirit that skateboarding should encompass.  So, Jason Jessee 2012!

For God's Sake Skateboarding

I am going to quickly use this blog as my bully pulpit.  Four years ago I got very frustrated at the skateboard community.  Why?  Well, because skateboarding took up a cause.  Not like a good cause like fighting autism, or anything like that, but the cause of getting behind one of the two major (majorly fucked up that is) political parties.  Everywhere I looked Obama was being pushed by the forward-thinking skate crowd.  Organika even put the motherfucker's face on a skate deck.  Now I know that the skateboard community tends to lean more liberal, especially on social issues, but that is a far cry from actually getting behind one of the parties.  Democraps and Refucklicans, thats what I call them.  They all suck.  None of them have any of our interests in mind.  They are all a bunch of self-serving demi-god types, who think their shit don't stink.  These were the kids who tried to help the teacher keep the class in line when we were kids. So what if Obama is seemingly a little hipper than the next guy?  So he used to smoke marajuana?  Does he still take bong rips?  Then I don't fucking care.  My point here is that skateboarding should never back a political party or candidate.  I mean, did we not all grow up listening to Rage Against the Machine, Propaghandi, Bad Religion, etc??  Then how could you ever trust an establishment politician?  And believe me, if they are a candidate for president, they damn sure have followed the establishment.  So, fuck voting in November, do yourself a favor and just go skate.
