Cassi Creek:
The concept
of class warfare being waged by Americans against other Americans has become a
major factor in the 2012 presidential election.
The Democrats are still afraid to stress the nature of the war and are
unwilling to take their gloves off an utter the words that may restructure the
electorate. The Democratic Party has,
since the days of FDR supported working class Americans, union members, the
disenfranchised, many immigrants, and public education. The party lost its way in the VietNam era and
has lost much of its base by trying to be too inclusive, and by wandering away
from the place it held in the Civil Rights era.
It abandoned the core platform that produced the Civil Rights act,
Medicare, the Peace Corps and Vista in order to oppose the GOP’s southern
strategy without identifying that despicable bit of hatred and bigotry for the
evil it has been and is still today.
The democrats
have spread their actions too thinly and let the GOP/teavangelists lie,
slander, and manipulate their way into power.
They have allowed theocrats, televangelists, and teavangelists to force
their religions into public and civil affairs while suppressing any religion not
willing to swallow the brands of hatred forced upon the majority by cultists
who believe they have the right to violate the 1st amendment
routinely.
The
GOP/teavangelists, speaking from gated communities, closed religious events
designed to prevent anyone of another faith to take part, seeking to supplant
science and history with fairy tales and lies intended to write anyone but
WASPs out of the time line, deny the existence of a class war.
The GOP/teavangelists intend to reverse the accomplishment
of four generations of American women struggling to reach equality in pay, in
healthcare, in education, and in political representation. The 2012 campaigns have exposed the depth of misogyny
evident in the American political system and in daily life in America.
The repeated
assurances by Romney that he has no intention to eliminate abortion, are simply
put, tremendous, repeated, lies. They
are designed to induce women to vote against their own self-interests by
electing males who will keep women subjects in breeding stables, while
stripping from them the gains that other women sacrificed to establish;
workplace and political equality and access to modern healthcare not driven and
directed by religious fanatics.
Lukovich’s
cartoon brings back the risk of an American inquisition conducted by men like
Romney and Ryan who will use their offices to reverse the needs of women in the
health care delivery system, and will support petty little hatemongering
theocrats and teavangelists who will happily force women to submit to unwanted
and unwarranted pregnancies. The GOP/teavangelists
deny any such plans. I am no more likely
to believe these lying fanatics than I was to belief Yasser Arafat.
There is a
class war happening in America today.
The GOP/teavangelists will do everything in their power to suppress and
disenfranchise any voters who they believe will not follow their party
line.
The
Democratic Party must accept that it needs to restructure, incorporating Latino
and black Americans into its ranks with white Americans and the other
minorities who can prevent the GOP/teavangelists bringing about a theocracy
with non-believers forced to participate under extreme duress. There is a class war happening in America. You and all of us must do everything we can
to break the stranglehold that threatens the nation.
