Is it Race? or: Liberal v. Conservative??
2013 disappears into history in the next 3 days! It began with the 2nd Inauguration of President Barack Obama. Those dedicated organizations that worked for the past five years to defeat any and all things favored by the first black President; tripled-down this year to smear him with the blame for those things that Cheney/Bush did during their turn at the wheel. Bush has openly refrained from "piling on", while Cheney gets a new, young, heart; and a second chance to destroy this country! No jail in sight, yet, for those most guilty of committing $13Trillion in damages to our country.
Yesterday's Blog concerned Reconstruction, that period in our history that came after our Civil War in the mid-1800s. If we're facing another Reconstruction, where was the Civil War to proceed it? It has been taking place, slowly, since the 1960s. This time, not only free labor vs. slave labor interests are involved, but there are a host of other, surrogate, issues involved: women issues, health issues, maternity issues, regional issues, education issues, same-sex marriage issues, Immigration issues; the list grows daily!
The Obama election in 2012, brought racial issues to the fore, both here and around the world. The reaction of the citizenry to his election, twice, has been un-mistakeable, in both racial and regional terms. The whites in the South (not all, but a dominant faction) see President Obama as "the Devil" and have not veered from that view. Blacks, and Liberal whites, throughout the nation, have seen the first black President as a "Jesus" figure that can accomplish all sorts of "miracles" with no help from anyone! Those are the opposition forces in play.
Both factions have un-realistic, even childish, views of the President. The MEDIA is piling on, as they see that they can help drive the poll numbers against the President. Fake scandals, stealth insurgencies in State politics, propaganda campaigns in the media, are the weapons used in this new Civil War. Even some of the President's staunchest supporters are being swayed by the Media campaigns.
Voting rights, public education, Immigration, privacy concerns, Gay and Lesbian rights in the work-place, and in marriage law, School to Prison, and School to Athletics; both new Plantation Systems, are in place wherein the victims are mostly black and brown males, and the new "Masters" are the owners of Teams or Franchises, or Investors in Private Prisons -- all of these are battlegrounds in the slowly evolving Civil War this nation is engaged in today,have been for past decades, and will be well into the future. The maturity and sophistication of voters in the States will determine who wins and who loses the Civil War. Big money, world-wide, has a huge stake in the outcomes. Mitt Romney declared to CPAC, that the battle-grounds must be the State Legislatures. Urban vs. Rural interests, and which will be funded and/or politically represented are at issue.
As the Tea Party yields to The Ducks; historically weak states like Louisiana (Lousy-Weesy), and Florida (Flaw-ida) take leading roles in the battles. The citizenry, and our Democracy, face life-or-death political challenges as we head into 2014!
Stay Vigilant! You don't want to "sleep" through off-year election (2014)!
