What "MOURNING" JOE(s) "Don't Tell You" ??

"Banana Republic"??

I awoke and flipped on the "Telly" to get the latest News on the horrible "Train Wreck" in North Philadelphia, last night.  I caught  "Mourning Joe" (Scarborough) "ranting" against President Obama for his mention of FOX News as a poor source of "Information" for this country.  Joe's show; (FOX-lite), bears the Roger Ailes "stamp".  I "toggle" channels to the other JOE (Kernen), to check on the MARKETS.  Both are  "Conservatives", and staunch "Obama-haters",  They both put on quite a show as they mix their mind-sets with their "News".

The Mayors of our Cities have been pressing for Infrastructure Repairs in this country for quite a long time.  Our Cities are growing, because people can't Make a Living in the Rural and Suburban parts of this country.  The Train Wreck last night may shut down the Boston-to-NYC-to Washington train route for quite a while. That line is our only version of what passes for Hi-speed Rail in this country. The financial losses may be considerable.

This is further evidence of the "Conservative" 3-Point Process for destroying the United States:

      (1)  Loot our Treasury through Tax Cuts that favor the top 1% of our Population

      (2)  Start Wars, and decline to pay for them

      (3)  Let our Infrastructure "wear out"; in the name of "Austerity" 

This process, begun by Ronald Reagan in 1980, has contributed a great deal to our decline as a Nation.

If you read Du-Bois' account, in Souls of Black Folk,  of the seven-year period in our history; 1865-1872 -- the life of the Freedmen's Bureau and the Freedmen's Bank, you'll understand better the thinking of today's Conservatives, their Roots, and their Mind-Set.

Grant, President following Johnson and succeeded by Hayes, was in the "thick" of efforts that set the stage for the treatment today of persons of color, and particularly, African-Americans.  Read Du-Bois' account of this period and you will learn that the systematic "looting" of all assets gained by former Slaves during Reconstruction, is the MODEL, being used by the "Conservatives" of today.

Stay Vigilant!  If you read  DuBois, you will also see the early stages of the "Justice" System they designed for Blacks.  It will clear up the confusion over Voting Rights; and, you will also understand better why this thing we call Racism may NEVER disappear!
