Some Old News -Or Is It? More of the Same-O, Same-O
Americans elected a new
president in 2008, a black man, if you haven't heard, which should tell you
something about the electorate, but it seems no one listened, not even the man
for the job. To elect a black president in a racist country is a phenomenon in
itself. It goes to show that there is a small hard core racist core in this
country, that essentially has bullied the rest of the country into believing
that they have a majority. Despite all the efforts to exclude legitimate voters
from the polls, the racists man still did not even come close.
So why can't Obama man
up about it all? He wants to represent everybody, including the loud, misshapen
extremists of both parties. Americans did not vote for Obama to be Jesus, Marx,
or Martin Luther King. They wanted change and so far haven't gotten it. To make
matters worse, Hilary Clinton waits on the sideline, warming up in her new set
of warmups.
All this brings me to
Egypt and democracy and supposed change. The world is headed down the road to
hell. Not because of Obama, Clinton, Morsi, and the whole bunch of relocated
Jews and Palestinians. No, not because of any of them. The world is going to
hell because we don't want to accept the fact that talk is cheap and violence
runs deep.
First we wanted
democracy in Gaza and then we didn't it because the right people weren't
elected. We wanted democracy in Iraq and Afghanistan and are stuck with the
same sectarian strife based on religion and misogyny that has always existed.
We wanted democracy in Egypt and then we wanted the army to intervene because
it wasn't the right kind of democracy. We wanted democracy in Venezuela,
Nicaragua, Honduras, Vietnam. And then we tried to assassinate or remove
elected representatives of those countries. We scream about Cuba not being a
democracy, about what a great democracy Israel is, even though large segments
of the population can't vote, nor is anyone protected from the land grabbing.
It's like the old west there despite all the claims to being a civilized
people. They are achieving now what they wanted to but couldn't achieve in
1948.
The entire political
worldwide system is corrupt and unmanageable.
Which brings me back to
America.
Obama is leading us down the path to Clinton,
Clinton will lead us down the path to no change, except for that change no one
can control, such as the roadside bomb called the Middle East, or the old
minefield called racism, or the air filled drone sky's of spies and lies.
