 In looking over the debris that
passes for the last four years, what if anything stands out among all the
shrapnel, all the dead birds and broken glass, not to mention the twisted
and disfigured forms of all those that have died at the hands of
self-appointed leaders in this war-torn world?
Perhaps a key component of the
enabling process has to be the fact that these knuckle-walkers are
'betting-the-farm' on the stupidity and knee-jerk compliance of the
American public.
The question here is: will we prove them right, or will
we balk at their continued efforts to cover-up their crimes, that are
potentially treasonous in nature? That is one decision that is indeed up
to each and every one of us!
For many Americans politics is
some kind of simple parlor game of red and blue components, played our in
civil conversations--but only rarely thought about. Perhaps the time has
come to re-think this childishly simple proposition.
At the heart of the American
system are the big-two, artificial and almost indistinguishably different
political parties. Steeped in lore, and dripping with ill-gotten gains and
failed policies, both parties come to the public every four years with
their hands out and their tongues forked-with promises and pipedreams by
the bucket full. Not to talk with anyone, not to clear the air with at least
some bits of truth, but to simply pour old lies upon new facts. And every
year the public shrugs and plays the waiting game, as though there were
something to gain by withholding political judgments.
This time around, it's not a
game; this election is for all the marbles. What's at stake is whether
your life can be successful, whether your children will have a future, or
whether there will be a world that will be able to sustain human societies
that are not arranged as warring gangs, or as lawless hordes, and that
answer only to the largest weapons.
While we were sleeping the
landscape that we've come to know and love, that warm blanket of pervasive
security, has been ripped away. Now the current seekers of anointed power
want to give us razor wire and triple locks, against a world which they've
created-a world of hate and fear and terror of the every shadow, in the
brightest light of ordinary day. Even the stars and stripes have changed
their meaning. It seems now cowards hide, where men and women once moved
proudly, and working people are now despised by those who claim to
represent us.
 What have we licensed here-what
have we become? It seems we hardly know ourselves, much less each other.
And what now lies in store for a population that is as timid as we are?
Nothing but more fear, new regulations and restrictions, more tyranny and
lies awaits the next anointed one, before that new crescendo of complicity
will be ordered up without exception.
But there are choices. We can
prove them right: by remaining deaf, and dumb and blind to all they
continue to shove into the nearest darkened corner of the government. Or
we can pause midstream and think about what's happened to us, and how we
came to be where we are now. We are way past "Are you better off
today than you were four years ago!" This is no longer a question.
The question is, can we survive another twenty minutes without knowing
what the hell is going on with those in charge today!
Every day brings new outrage.
Every day the rules are changed, now there's no longer even a
constitutional basis for our laws. The City of New Orleans just decided
that they'll begin conducting unannounced searches, without warrants for
anyone or any place they choose, no need for warrants anymore - security
comes first, at least in that ridiculously primitive place.

Maybe New Orleans needs to secede from the Union, that way they can do
whatever they want, and return to the days when they had the crookedest
cops in the USA.
 The man in the White House would
have us believe that we are here to serve him, when it is he who serves at
our pleasure. The Congress is who decides what will be investigated, by
whom and for how long-not the president, especially not when he is the
party being investigated. The president's lackeys are not immune to the
laws of these United States, any more than are all the rest of us. And now
we just discovered that our sainted Contessa of Lies
