"What DO we Stand For??"
"Hillary" posed this question to "Fareed" this morning in her hour-long session on Zacharia's GPS. If you missed it; find it! It can "inform" even the most dull and obtuse among us.
That "crowd" of 76 million U.S. "souls"; known as the Baby Boomers were born after 1947; produced teens in our nation's streets by the thousands in 1968. George Wallace, seeing political opportunities in the phenomenon, called them "Anawkists"!! From that starting point, we can frame the following forty years up thru 2008, when Cheney and his co-hort, Little-Bush, "finished off" the nation Truman left us in 1952. Little Bush was one of the Baby Boomers, Cheney, who is two younger than me, should have KNOWN Better!!
In the 40 years along our path to self-destruction, there were only 3 Presidents from the Left (Democrats): "Carter ("J.C.); anti-dote to Nixon's "evils": "Billy-Bob Clinton" the closet Conservative who "triangulated" racial issues; and The First Black President (who is expected to "FIX" everything, instantly, while the worst among us do everything they can imagine to prevent his success. Where we lurch next is anyone's guess!!
Hillary believes the World Opinion of the United States has fallen because we failed to continue telling our "story" about how good we are. I disagree (Hillary is a "Pol" running to replace Obama); I think the World (especially the Non-White part) has figured out EXACTLY who we are! And they don't like it. Even the non-white part of our own population is crawling out of its centuries-long stupor, and is beginning to think new thoughts. The sorry spectacle paraded before the entire world by our Republican Hard Right is forcing all but the brain-dead to see that this country is fatally flawed with the notion that whites can continue to rule if only they come up with better methods of scaring Hell out of the World's non-whites. Netanyahu buys into this notion. Putin is happier than a pig in slop; as this presents him with a greedy, stingy, quarrelsome, EU that is ripe for the plucking. His moves in the Middle East are becoming more obvious. Ukraine is a Basket Case. Obama will leave a different pile of Sh*t for the next President. Daddy-Bush's "CLARENCE THOMAS WEAPON will still be on the Supreme Court to "Lock-In" our March to Destruction.
Baby Boomers, Star-Trekkers among them, that is, prefer "Darth Vader" as their next "Leader". This crowd, entering Medicare today, just never managed to GROW UP!! I'm re-reading Alan Seymour's
The Coming Self-Destruction of the United States of America. An Australian Playwright, born in 1927; Seymour represented a generation of Whites on this earth who understand clearly what the racial upheaval of that time portended. The book was published in 1969. If he's still alive, Seymour is 87 years old. Nobody listens to anybody over 40 these days.
Stay Vigilant! On the Train to Hell, what do we DO??
