(10,622 posts)to be expected from anyone on the political horizon, no matter the party, when help comes, it is destroyed before our reality can be changed.
We have allowed the party of the people to devolve into a co-conspirator that would have us all as slave labor feeding the wealthy, a country where those that have nothing to contribute to the wealth of the few are left to perish as useless eaters. A country where bloody empire for the profit of of an out of control military industry and a thriving new mercenary industry are gorged on the blood of those that are no threat to us in any military sense. A modern form of feudalism that is developing before our eyes.
Without a party to protect us from the unwavering desire of some to recreate this nation as a neo-feudal fascism it's rebirth will continue unabated on it's course toward the neo-feudal goal, they have recently showed us that not only is their goal clear, it has also shown us the intend to make futile any attempts from within to change such a destructive and unwavering course.
The 99% are beginning to see that they are on their own now against the purchased post-partisanship that will lead us to that goal faster or slower, but on the same course, ever rightward ever more cruel and ever more a threat to their well being and happiness.
We are almost there and there appears to be nothing to stop it, even when a good man tried, the entire party moved heaven and earth to insure he could not be an agent for the change all of us need.
I blame us that are on the front of liberal thought for allowing our party to so easily be taken over by the republican castaways that dare claim to be more than what they are, purchased lackeys of the wealthy elite.
I blame myself for allowing myself to be used as shamelessly as any poverty stricken GOP member that would support and vote for what is demonstrably against their best interests and the interests of over 99% of the citizens of this country.
I blame the party faithful for so easily adopting and even cheering well known and deeply damaging right wing policy simply because they follow the party line (policies that they are well educated about and once fought against).
I blame the party itself for being so easily bought and co-opted by the policies of the Heritage Foundation and The Chamber of Commerce simply for a pittance in campaign contributions just as I blame them for lying cheating and stealing their maintenance of complete control
Without a party to oppose the neo-feudalists, what is left to stop them?
What can we do?
What can YOU do?
WHAT THE HELL CAN I DO!
The last sentence describes not only my feelings, but also the feelings of a growing number of citizens that can not help but see what is happening because it grows more blatant every day.
