Will the U.S. "O.D." on "KOCH"??
Just about every 'white' Talking Head in our visual and audio MEDIA reacts similarly to the recently exposed utterances of Silver, Bundy, and Cuban: they advise those speaking out to remain "silent". Any 'white' public figure, like Senator Rockefeller of W. Va., is accused of '"playing the race card" by their fellow 'white' Congressional Representatives. These "deniers" persist in pretending that no one can see through their "fig leaf" denials. They continue to enrage 'adults' across the planet who, daily, see a non-white face staring back at them when they look in a mirror.
Obamacare, "and Behghazi", are the two most-recent in a long list of "issues" surfaced and whipped to a frenzy in our Media by the Far Right (Republican) Party. They succeed in their goal of making every white citizen fearful of any and everything associated with President Obama. It started, according to Minority Leader of our Senate, McConnel, on the day of his Inauguration. BEFORE the President had a chance to take any action on any topic. A direct line from President Nixon and his actions to define racial lines and categories for the United States, and his willingness to commit crime to further is political goals can be seen in the current election campaign in the state of Mississippi to unseat a 'white' Senator who is not "extreme enough" on matters of race. The Nixon tactics of the early 1970's were copied in Mississippi. The M.O. of the Republican Party is unmistakable -- and its RACIST. All of the Tea Party strategies are financed by two of the Koch Brothers of Kansas.
Schulman's book: The Sons of Wichita, shows the ties of the Koch Brothers back to the John Birch Society and the politics of the extreme Right in this country in the 1950s. In my rise to the rank of Cadet Colonel and leadership of the AFROTC Corp at San Francisco State in 1961, my fellow cadets taunted me with my opposition to both Lyndon Johnson and Barry Goldwater for what I considered to be racist leanings. I really dug into the backgrounds of both as I prepared for my first national election the year before, in 1960.
More than twenty years after I completed my Air Force career, I wound up an Executive in a large corporation in the Northwest. I met and got to know a lot of Libertarians. I had always considered Libertarians to be racists who lacked the courage to admit their convictions. I could understand the fine shadings they used mentally and emotionally to cling to their philosophies, but they failed to convince me that what they believed was fundamentally different from the beliefs of the worst white racists that I experienced in my youth in Missouri.
Today, the Libertarians are the group that provides "cover" for those Republicans who are uncomfortable with the Tea Party wing of their party. If they succumb to the strategies in force for the past six years to destroy any Moderate Republicans and to drive the country into the arms of the old John Birch goal of Hard Right social and political policies, the entire Nation will have lost its way.
Stay Vigilant! I grew up on Jazz and Rag Time music. That provides me with a "distance" to hear and see clearly extremes of both Right and Left. I can "keep the beat" of Democracy alive. In these times of economic calamity, Libertarians are hankering for Autocracy -- Stability over "Freedom". P.S. I met Goldwater, in person, in Los Angeles, in 1987.
