Madness at the helm

Madness at the helm

Another presidential race is about to close out and were still debating over the fate and ill will and missed opportunities of the current policies of the current administration. The United States is a divided nation, crushed by the weight of her own arrogance and lacking direction and currently being led by someone who plays cowboy and looks and appears as if he is running the greatest nation on the planet as if it the equivalent of a cruise ship. Let’s lollygag and bullshit. The gap between rich and poor continue to widen, even more since the arrival of the cowboy. The shrinking and subliminal and distraught white middle class is confused, lacking center, looking for answers in popcorn and crackerjack Reality shows presented to us by the corporate media right. An entire cottage industry has sprung as ideologues match wits and ideas against deceit and underhandedness. The creators of all this hate laugh in their sleep. As dumb Americans fall prey to the melodrama political fray of the “good guys” versus the “bad guys”. The problem is that good guys hang with the bad guys, and we can’t really tell apart the good guy from the bad guy. But we do know that concentrated wealth in the hands of a few powerful people is a bad thing. We do know that being rich in America came at the expense of exploitation and disruption and conniving. And once you become rich and I mean “I don’t give a fuck rich”, and have the brains to go with my richness, I can promote, support and convince and contrive enough bullshit to fool even the most well fed, best educated people on the planet earth. And that my friend is what we have deceit and fraud. To think that the grand old party, the republic orchestrates such wicked strategy to organize themselves as soccer moms, country clubians, nascarians, struggling white middle class zealots and professional corporate pirates. Sprinkle a few confused African-Americans of high achievement or jaded patronage or Hispanics not Latinos of Cuban or Mexican origin by roots of Spain. You’ve got division my friends. Not to mention the destructive policies laid out by these “people”, they honest believe they know what’s good for the rest of us. Problem is they don’t. They never have. Their greatest hero Ronald Reagan just died and they used his death to illuminate their status. Well, I never liked John Wayne and no man is a superman or a rich boy trying to be cowboy or flyboy will fool the real people of this country. The Vietnam veterans whose mind and bodies were torn apart the last time we were divided. The world war two vets who saved this country from greater threat than osama and his gang of henchman. The civil rights and human rights people who have led an unwavering battle in the face of hate and prejudice. The white women along with many other who battled for the right to vote. When folks sense the urgency to make a change, we the people make that change. Not the privileged few. And the change will take place this November, when the dumbshit comes to a close.
