We're Frayin' at the Edges & Crackin' in the Middle
With a spreading sense of despair, our citizens are facing, yet another, Government Shutdown (see THE OWL blog, same subject, 4/7/2011). Within weeks, we will also face, yet another, threat to Default on the Nation's Debts. Are we under attack by a foreign enemy? Yes, .. and No; that depends on whether you have paid attention to this nation's history since 1945, (the end of World War II).
These are the results of long-in-the-planning strategies and tactics of our home-grown Radical Right. We saw their face, first, in Senators McCarthy and Goldwater. Their adherents and backers have grown since, sowing dissension, confusion, and hatred. Their goal is complete and total take-over of the federal government by corporate and right-wing religious interests. Their principal animus is racial hatred.
Under the influence of this right-wing element in our politics, we have arrived at a point where both the very young and the very old among our citizens are in growing crises. Economic pressures, growing primarily from changes to our economy spawned by Presidents Johnson and Nixon, and implemented by President Reagan, came to full "bloom" in the economic collapse of 2008. The seeds were planted when we opened our doors to ex-Nazis following their defeat in World War II. Our Right Wing (primarily Republicans) has been growing in strength ever since.
Our country must stave off these current attempts to "Hijack" and "Extort" our Federal Government and get this country back on a sound economic and social footing. Then, young citizens can form new households and have both the time and the income to raise families. They have neither now.
Our ageing citizens can then live out their remaining years without fear of hunger and crippling health care costs.
Propaganda; sowing deliberate confusion and mayhem in our efforts to reform our Health Care System, has held sway in our Media. Their stories, are "touching, but sound just like a lie". Our Media, fully engaged in "sh*t-stirring for profit", has provided fuels for the fires that threaten to cripple the nation. Demagogues are coming into view, in preparation for a collapse. The general electorate has to find a way, soon, to stop this movement.
Stay Vigilant! A tiny Cabal must not be allowed to prevail!
