...too Brain-Dead to NOTICE??
What can be said for a Nation that bans from utterance, the one, four-letter English Word, that best describes what is happening to its BRAINS??
Misery (Missouri) chooses TRUMP; by a "hair"! (surprise, surprise!) Misery barely, as it did 150 years ago, chooses the old North (TRUMP); over, the new SOUTH (TEXAS, aka CRUZ)! TRUMP offers a kinder/gentler Putin (or, Netanyahu); while CRUZ offers us our very own TALIBAN.
Ever since the day, in 1962, when the Air Force landed me in WACO; I've been aware of the power that STATE holds over the USA. I didn't understand, before then, what Elizabeth Taylor and Rock Hudson wanted us to learn from their film: GIANT! It only took me 4 months to get the HELL out of that HELL, for a much better assignment! I learned, in my first year in the Air Force, how to become a damned good "jail-house lawyer"! It stood me in good stead throughout my 20-year military career.
TEXAS, the Lone-Star State, is on the precipice of becoming the Lone-Star Nation! It never did accept its "place" among those other 49 Stars (the White-folk, in Texas, that is)! From the School Books Texas controlled for our Nation, to the Depository, from which President Kennedy encountered his Murderer, the darker, and whitest, element in the Lone-Star State remained steadfast in its desire to rule the Nation.
2003 found me, once again, resident in Texas! Dennis Hastert was on the throne as Speaker of the House, and Cheney was busy running the Administration for "W". Texas, lacking the brain-power it needed to build the high-tech Empire they dreamed of, starting with Texas Instruments, had spent years buying brains from California. Under Cheney/Bush, Texas, with the help of Enron and Cheney, was caught extorting funds from California, through its "management" of access to the Power it needed to keep things running. We were kept guessing (like Speaker Ryan?) as to whether "W" would invade Iraq. In February of that year, I stepped out my back door, and, looking up, could see fiery streaks of debris on their way to locations near Bush's Ranch. It was a disaster much worse than 51-L in 1986, when we lost the Nation's School Teacher, but, somehow, the Nation didn't care as much! (Never understood why) ...
In that same year, with the assistance of Cheney/Bush, and overseen by Hastert; Tom Delay was busily chasing Texas Democrats out of their Power in the Texas Legislature, and hunting them down, from their hiding places in Oklahoma! What resulted was the beginning of the Frankenstein Gerrymandering that has made America Safe tor Republican Shenanigans.
Stay Vigilant! Get the Picture?? Who really controls YOUR State? Considering the intellectual level, and the economic resources of the typical Delegate for the up-coming Republican Convention; I suspect TEXAS is feeling pretty confident right now. How about you??
