Ever since the scourge of Alzheimer Ronnie, the gop has been telling it's minions to fear and detest the very government that serves you. Don't bother to root out corruption, which the gop has nearly a monopoly on at times, but point the entire government as corrupt and against YOU.
This is a major part of our division today. No one has taken that clown and his bastion of "democratic-haters" to task for that myth for one second. We have allowed hate radio and fox-bullshit to label the whole government as evil and corrupt...the source of our problems...that which we all need to fear and loathe. And they've been pounding that shit-skinned drum a steady beat ever since that ridiculous statement the b-grade actor blurted out to the cheers and salutes of his reagan-bots. Now it is the accepted fact.
We need to gather a strategy that brings reality back into focus. We have allowed this collection of cancerous lies to exist as "fact", and we will be paying the price for a generation to come.
NO, government is NOT THE PROBLEM. Government is "WE THE PEOPLE", dumb ass! If it is corrupt or not functioning properly, then do something about it. Complain and draw attention to it. But don't label the whole government as the evil enemy. Cops, teachers, city workers, state employees, federal employees are YOU AND ME! We are NOT FOOK'N EVIL! Hate radio and fox-bullshit are "evil", if anyone can be broadly labeled as such. The IRS has a job to do. INS has a job to full fill. TSA has a job to do. If you don't approve of the way it is being done, then write your Congressman and draw attention to it. Because the IRS calls you in for an audit doesn't make them 'the enemy". Because INS is trying to enforce the laws doesn't make them evil Gestapo. Because the TSA has lines going out the door doesn't make them the bad guys. They are ALL fulfilling a job that we put them there to do.
Sweet Jesus...it reminds me of a dozen sailors on a sinking dingy, and they are busy splashing water out of the boat as they are going down in the high seas. We need to PLUG THE HOLES and spread the truth, and then we can dispel the lies and bull shit that have been "gop gospel" since 1980.
