The Despicable Right has been on a roll for a generation, but the election of an African American President has sent them over the top. The only reason they so fondly look forward to November is because of an employment rate of 10%. The American voter does not think much beyond the end of the street. If it were not for the recession which the Republicans caused, they would be trounced for the third time in a row.
Since 1954 when Brown vs Board of Education struck down segregated schools in an historic unanimous Supreme Court decision – and more profoundly after the Voting Rights Act of 1964 and the Civil Rights Bill of 1965 – racist America moved in mass to the Republican Party, just as LBJ predicted.
Since the election of Barack Obama 19 months ago, the line between conservative, Right-wing and Republican – which has been smearing for 20 years – finally disappeared. Their accepted leader is a clone of Anita Bryant and Phyllis Schlafly. Their think tank is AM TALK RADIO, and their chief lobbyist is the Fecal Fox News.
The racist game they play has changed little over the years, it has only become more intense and dishonest based as it is upon a series of extremely obnoxious propositions.
They make no distinction between the group oppressed and the group doing the oppressing.
They make no distinction between life in the suburbs and life in the Hood.
They have no understanding how slavery, Jim Crow, economic segregation, racial profiling and the endless doors slammed in their faces cause the subsequent loss of hope in generation after generation.
Their belief that African Americans fighting back hundreds of years of oppression, segregation and racism is racism on their part.
They believe Whites are the victims of Black racism.
That the nanonit of black on white discrimination (due to cause and effect) equals the historic massive discrimination (racist) of whites on blacks.
That they are the true civil rights leaders of the past and present.
And as we see in this most recent dust up, no white person can be called a racist unless there is an audio/video of them using the N word or they are caught in the act of burning a cross or lynching an African American.
Because these false lies are the ever constant fecal hum from Fox News and talk radio, it sinks deep into that part of America that does more drinking than thinking.
Since this most recent national discussion of race began with the NAACP throwing out the much needed accusation for the Tea Party to reign in the racists, we see that anyone who fights back becomes the hate mongering and racist. Sadly, the mainstream media and elected politicians are afraid of them. Proof that both entities know damn well what a racist nation this is made to pay the price in share and votes. To make matters worse, independents don’t know or care what’s going on anywhere beyond their grasp. Intolerance of intolerance is more intolerant than intolerance.
The American people deserved George W. Bush as president. He was the perfect representative of our collective nature: A stupid pretend cowboy.
We deserve a religious fundamentalist airhead like Sister Sarah McPalin as President of the United States. We are just as stupid as she is.
We deserve to have Congress controlled by J.D. Hayworth, Sharon Angle, Michelle Bachmann and Rand Paul. They ARE middle America.
And the silliest crap from these Republican is the ubiquitous talking point that we cannot suffer our children and grandchildren to this socialist Obama debt. Republicans are in lockstep to do everything possible to extent the fouling and warming of the Earth so our children and grandchildren won’t be around to pay any debt, they will be busy evolving gills and fins in the soup.
