Forest,
Meet Trees
 Let's
make this perfectly clear, the Republican Party
doesn't like you.
"You" is anyone that doesn't have millions in the bank. End of story.
This means they don't really like the pro-lifers or the gun-hoarders
but these otherwise good folks are very convenient because they're naive
enough to rush to the polls every time the GOP blows their dog whistles.
Unfortunately,
the inability of these groups to see past the cover of their Bibles or
the second half of the Second Amendment have supplied Conservatives with
all the
ammunition they need to ruin this country.
Here's the deal in a nutshell... America, as the major consumer of crap
in this world, can no longer continue in that role as its manufacturing
base has basically collapsed. Real wages have declined over the past
30 post-Reagan years and it's going to get worse. After stripping the
U. S. Treasury dry over the last 30 years Republicans are currently in
the process of stealing the last major sources of wealth, namely the
Social Security trust fund and worker pensions. After that, it'll be
the rich sitting in their compounds watching the rest of us fight over
what's left. We're Mexico, we're Bahrain, we're a banana republic.
You can't educate your way out of this trap, either. Already most young
people leave college with huge financial burdens that limits their options.
That's why Conservative's have been systematically underfunding the public
schools and trumpeting vouchers because there's big money to be made
extorting parents who'll hock the farm to get their kids in the right
public schools.
"Congratulations on graduating 3rd grade, son. You owe the bank $100,000."
Capitalism is to blame. We should be working as a country to conserve
our resources, protect our environment see that everyone is healthy and
fed, but capitalism says "It's every man for himself". Your
house has to be bigger, your car has to be more powerful, your electronic
trinkets have to be blingier than the next guy. Your corporation not
only has to be more powerful than the next corporation, it has to destroy
it. But on the occasions that it can't, there's always a financially-satisfying
collusion to salve the wounds.
Capitalism kills the blue-fin tuna, the rain forests, the planet.
Socialism, the kind we relied on in the 1950s to build the interstate
highway system and eventually land men on the moon, is the better answer
but it depends on a nobility of spirit, the ability to share, each according
to his need. Unfortunately, nobility is not bred of a society like ours
and nobility is not sexy and won't get you laid. Money, which equates
to power, gets you laid in America. But when all the money is gone there'll
be nothing left but fucking, only you'll be the one getting fucked.
