I have been out of Mexico for about fifty years now and still can not get used to the way politics is played in this country. Think about all the good which could be realized for our society as a whole if the great MOUNDS of MOOLAH thrown around by politicians trying to stab one another in the back were actually put to good use for the benefit of all citizens. This will never happen. It is un-American in the extreme.
There is more chance that someone will erect an electronic billboard showing President Obama's face painted in African colors while proclaiming that his is an illegal administration because he was not born American. Such balls! We have fallen to the lowest rung on the ladder of propriety. There seems to be nothing that the new right will do to tarnish, destroy and break down any kind of forward-looking administration while completely ignoring the why, wherefore and how we were led to this precipice by a bunch of self-serving greed consumed so-called Christian Conservative Republicans.
Please remember that history has a nasty habit of repeating itself. If you look at our situation carefully you will see that our inflation and joblessness is not anywhere near the depths of Hell experienced by Germany post World War I. But looking at the way the Conservatives (New Nazis) paint everything liberal, it's a wonder that we have not yet had a Crystal Night as yet in Washington D.C. Get out your WWII reader and see how the Nazis slowly turned a God-fearing Christian country into a hydra-headed single minded beast.
People saw and thought what they were told to see and think. It was only a matter of time before the problems of the economy and society were placed at the feet of the Jews. It was those damned Jews who charged too much for everything. It was those damned Jews Hell-bent on stealing away our Christian heritage. And those damned Jews did nothing to try to stop the train which was soon to roll over their lives and the lives of millions in Europe and Eastern Europe combined. Who is today's enemy according to the God-fearing Christians?
All one has to do is just look at the furor in Arizona. They may as well break away from the Union now. They want to set up their own rules and regulations regarding the sanctity of a persons Right to Privacy. It's just the same as what happened with my father. Here was a well-educated man with a J.S.D from Saint John's University working with the F.B.I. for twenty-one years. When confronted with the reality that the Nixon people were slowly enacting laws abrogating our rights written in the Constitution of the United States he said, "I have not done anything wrong. Such a thing CAN"T HAPPEN HERE". It sure as Hell can and it will if we, left and right alike, don't get up off our over-stuffed butts and do something about it.
Meanwhile, back at the Supreme Court before we were able to change its complexion. Decisions marked the end of being up-front with America regarding the way in which money was moved around to pay for campaigns. Now we have a free-for-all again. Scum suckers on the left and right can do just about what they damn please as far as whoring themselves for special interests to get money to run for office. Ain't that special? Don't worry about the truth, it hurts too much.
Then there is that little issue about the time it takes to run for office in this country. President Obama had to start looking four years in advance with each and every law he signed. That's wrong in the extreme. There need to be limits. In the U.K. the season is six months long. Candidates are funded through monies paid in by citizens of all political persuasions. There are checks and balances on what can be said about the other party. It is controlled. It really cannot happen here. There are too many people conspiring against simplicity.
And finally, I couldn't run for office unless I whored myself to many special interests; the public be damned. It cannot be done adequately without a WAR chest. They call it a WAR chest. Doesn't that spark anything in your mind? It's not a war. I think that I can do a better job than the man or woman in that office. I apply to campaign for that seat. I get money from OUR government above the table which may be used only for the purpose at hand. Special interests are cut out completely. It can't happen here. Our society, our republic is doomed.
Little groups such as the 'Tea Party' come along and say just about any scurrilous thing they want to with equanimity and freedom. If you tell the lie long and loud enough, then it starts to become fact. When that happens truth, and our way of life is slammed into the mud. We can't have this. It's time to rise up and revolt.
Slowly but surely, I have developed the feeling that 'they' want a new civil war. We need to give it to them. They are surely armed to the teeth because of their clever twisting of the second amendment. We will see lots of pictures of unborn fetuses talking to us about how they want to be born to see their mommies. Mexicans and anyone brown-skinned will be stopped on the street and asked for papers proving that they should be here at all. Crap. It is starting just as it did so many years ago in Germany. It can't happen here. Sure.
