Tornado Alley (PROG)

[decouverte d Elbe]

surely you jest. That's a two hour assignment, involving multiple pages, just to start to answer your question. I can't even dignify it as an undertaking today. You can hear it in his rants nearly everyday (the few times nowadays that I get caught listening to his agenda are when I'm out in the rural mountains of Kentucky, or somewhere else in the stix, with a car that picks up only rightwing media), and he fanaticizes the truth, even when he is truthful, which often he is not. You should know that he is only an entertainer, unfortunately much of his audience thinks that he speaks the Gospel, and that is ludricrous. He is an opiniated, accusatory, blowhard that has always been factually challenged. I wouldn't criticize someone as much for listening to Rush, as I would someone whom actually believes all the stuff that he spews. Suffice it to say for now that when 75% of the rightwing cannot acknowledge that the President was born an American citizen, based on lies that work on innate fears and misconceptions about Black people..that is racist! I hear it all over the rightwing media, and it is a bald-faced LIE..and I know that even you know it, whether or not you want to acknowledge it.
For one, it should have never been an issue. But regardless, the proof was in the birth announcement of Barrack Obama in the Honolulu newspaper. Unless a person thinks that there was a conspiracy 49 years ago the day he was born..total ridiculousness and inane.
How about calling him a Muslim, or a terrorist, while we are at war with these elements? Fox and Friends was good at that on a 24 hour cycle. Now they call the President a racist? Because they JUDGE everything he does through a black/white lens! And this New Black Panther Party paranoia (you mean both memebers! Everyday? You call that news, or racial hype? Acorn? Hannity demagoguing a guy that actually reported the info that those dress-up pimp clowns came strutting in with? And you believed that bullshit? Or is it all about suppressing the minority vote? Read about actual election fraud instead, not conjured up fantasies....http://www.kentucky.com/2010/03/26/1197075/jury-convicts-all-8-defendants.html ..this is all total unpatriotic bullshit. Do you know anything about acquaintances and friends of McCain http://www.huffingtonpost.com/john-k-wilson/john-mccains-terrorist-co_b_133326.html , and the Bush family Saudi connections? You would equate them to a college professor with a bad past from the turbulent 60s?..how about the radical pastors on the far right, the ones you may call the base of the GOP? Were they any more patriotic then Jeremiah Wright, a highly decorated Marine Corps Veteran?..Did you really empathize with the struggle of the Black movement in America during the civil rights movements when MLK preached non-violence? Do you empathize with the CURRENT judicial struggles of all lower wage earners in this country? They can't buy themselves justice the way Rush Limbaugh did on drug charges. Shit like this happened(s) everyday, thank God for DNA. You know how many good lives get wasted in this country? You can call me a libtard or any name you can use to radicalize your elements..still, I love America just as much as anyone else you know, I just want to make it a better place to live for all, and our Democracy is not threatened one iota by my Progressive brethren. We are trying to save it from collapse, and your average working middle class person is getting shafted by the policies in this country that are fiercely advocated by the Right Elite and big money that controls the system. That is in every area you can speak of, healthcare, housing..looks at the 401Ks ..holy cow!
1999 drug arrests
Tulia gained notoriety following a drug sting in July 1999 that rounded up 46 people, forty of whom were African Americans. The remaining detainees were White people known to have ties within the Black community, and in fact lived in the "Black" part of town. Nearly one in three of Tulia's Black males was arrested, about 15% of the town's Black population.[5][6] All charges were based on the word of undercover officer Tom Coleman, a so called "gypsy cop" who made his living traveling through impoverished rural Texas offering to work undercover cheaply for short periods of time for underfunded police departments. Coleman claimed to have made over one hundred drug buys in the small town. He never recorded any of the sales, but claimed to have written painstaking notes on his leg under his shorts and upper arm under his shirt sleeve when nobody was looking.

We are a Nation at War..and you think continuing the Bush tax cuts for the wealthy are a form of sacrifice? How big do you think that Chinese credit card is? To me this is treasonous (OK, that's a strong word..I dig it) I certaintly cannot call it patriotic, or even fiscally sound! The upper 2% saw their income TRIPLE from 2004 to 2009..from an average of $2 million to over $7 million! Income Taxes have been reduced for 50 years for them! What about OTHER taxes and fees being imposed higher and higher to suck the disposable income of the middle class?

Nowadays, one doesn't even have to sound like a "racist" to act like one! As the middle class in this country disappears, so will everything American. The playing field is more askew than ever. The markets are controlled and manipulated to a higher degree than ever before. Sure, everybody can still pursuit the American Dream, some will still work hard and achieve it (though they will need to be luckier than ever before. Still, even many more will work hard and not achieve even a small part of what was once at least within the mainstream grasp if the issues are decided continuously against the average person. I don't know exactly where you stand. But I know exactly how this country will sink..and I called it in 2000, and I'm calling it again for 2010..this House that we call America will collapse unless the problems we faced are tackled in forthright manner, and are taken seriously by the political challengers on the Right..don't worry about me, cause I'm not holding my breath either..
