OUR "RED" FUTURE??

 Will The "WHITES" Decide??

 

For just about all of my lifetime, "Red" was a term associated with the Cold War, and denoted "Communism", or "Socialism".  Now, we have imported the term into our domestic politics as the nation divides itself; (formerly, right vs. left; -- now, right vs. further right), and the "center" is rapidly disappearing.

 

The Boston Bombing gave us yet another "glimpse" of the future that is unfolding before us; both at home, and on the planet at large.  A toxic stew of race, class, religion, economics, and technology is brewing that is truly corrosive to the view of this nation; especially as it used to see itself!   Anybody notice the military apparatus on the streets of Boston?  Have we morphed, invisibly, from a free society, to a police state, and, now, a military state?  Is this the result of a citizenry so engaged in its personal, private pursuits that it has given up on its obligation to remain vigilant, and to participate in the process of providing public safety?  THAT'S what the 2nd Amendment is really all about!  Are we so blindly reliant on "technology" that we have poked out our own eyes, turned off our ears, and trust blindly that "our" politician will take care of "us",  individually? 

 

Last week's surprisingly quick "unanimous" response of Congress to "fix" our air travel problem, is a case in point.  ONLY -- they didn't do that!  They simply found a way to get home comfortably.  It may come as a shock to the flying public that our airline industry has always been heavily subsidized by the "government" our milignant Right hates so much.  It has also been highly dependent on human beings to guarantee safe flight.  Few of those issues are recognized, or addressed, by the recent quick "response" of Congress.

 

The "Red" side of our politics has some peculiar characteristics.  It is virtually all white (with some non-white "house" servants), it is historically Southern and poor, and it is spreading rapidly into mostly rural and Western states.  It is extremely militaristic, "religious",  and poorly educated.

 

The "Reds" have seized control of the national purse and they are squeezing the entire economy in the name of "austerity".  Are we "frogs" only now beginning to feel the "heat"?
