WILL THE CENTER HOLD?

Right, Left, or Center; them's the choices in 2012

A note for you who will turn of age to vote in the 2012 election; that happened to me in 1960.

You had to be 21 in those days.  My choices were between "Tricky Dick" (who much later quit in the face of impeachment) and, opposing V. P., Liddy Biddy Johnson;  a buddy of the Segs in Congress.  Neither of them did this country much good in the long run.  I won't tell you my choice.

But even Tricky Dick knew that this country is governed best from the "Center".  Ever since Johnson took over from our asassinated President, this country has moved steadily to the Right. Today,  President Obama would probably fit best in Ed Brooke's Republican Party; he's too far Right for today's Democrats.

The money bomb has detonated inside U.S. politics and produced devastation on a level we then feared an atomic bomb would produce.  No one could have imagined such in 1960.  Then, the marvel was television, credited for giving Kennedy his squeaker victory over Nixon.

I'm writing this as the Markets slide in response to recent election results from Europe.  There, the voters have taken a sharp turn to the Left in response to austerity measures taken globally in response to the Great Recession.  It was caused by the Money Boys in the United States in 2008; aided and abbetted by the Repoobs.  The Repoobs want to get back in this year to "finish us off" by killing the piddling growth Obama has started after repairing gigantic holes in the economy.  They showed their hand in the Debt Ceiling Debacle, wherein they gleefully paraded their willingness to push this country into default; a first in its history.  Remember the job rout started with, and was continued by the Money Boys.  Obama never laid anybody off!

About fifteen years ago, as we were approaching the Millenium, the talk was about "The Box".

Top and bottom sides were formed by "Let Them Eat Cake" and "Social Safety Net" believers, respectively. Left and Right sides were formed by "Globalist" and "Nativist" believers, respectively.

The box was purported to represent how the United States was governed then.  The stresses from the opposing sides were evident, and the worry was whether or not the center would "hold". 

In the interveneing years, the Money Boys have played hop-scotch on the Globalist and Nativist sides while siding with the Nativists to destroy the Social Safety Net side.  For those of you who don't know, "Nativists" are nationalists, racists, and similary extreme Righ-Wing characters.  You saw many representatives of those believers in the Repoob Primary that is just wrapping up.  Seems they have chosen a Money Boy as their candidate.

Going forward, you have a choice between a future in which those in your generation have a chance to re-build from the wreckage handed to you, or blindly trust the wreckers to "save" you.

Stay Vigilant!
