For the past 30 or 40 years the so called conservatives have
been systematically and relentlessly attacking our country - tearing down the things we have built up
that have made us who and what we are as Americans – things like public education civil
rights, free speech, secularism, equality, economic opportunity (remember the
‘American Dream’) , generosity, compassion, etc. Stealing our money – the
greatest transfer of wealth in human history is happening right now. The rich
really are getting richer, the poor really are getting poorer. It’s been well
documented.
It was obvious from the very beginning of the Tea Party
movement that it was rooted in racism. They pretend that they are patriots and
revolutionaries, but they’re not. The endless attacks on Obama, starting from
Nov 2008, have all been rooted in racism. The entire Republican strategy for
the past 6 years is to bring Obama down. Why? Because they disagree with is
political philosophy? He is mostly liberal. No. It’s because there’s a black
family living in the White House, and some people just can’t accept that. In
their minds, only white males and their families should occupy the White House.
I think this Ferguson/NY axis of protest is the real
revolution, and it’s a revolution against them (the Tea Party). It’s the next
step in the ‘Occupy' movement, which raised many significant political,
economic and human rights issues that had not been discussed for many years. Now
it seems those issues are coming back.
I think the outpouring of protest right now is people saying
they have had enough of this conservative assault on America and its time to
end it. It’s an “I’m mad as hell and I’m not going to take it anymore” moment
in our history. This is the real
America rising up. Finally.
We are all now living in the city of Ferguson, New York. Welcome back, America. It’s good to see that you finally woke up. Where you been so long?
