suddenly

Suddenly, 8 years of Republican disregard for the reckless behavior of the Financial Markets, deregulation for the Banking Industry, nonexistent oversight for Wall Street causing a horrific recession, collapse in the housing prices, foreclosures and jobs losses, it is now the Unions and their right for collective bargaining who are to blame?

Suddenly after 8 years of Republican tax breaks for the wealthy, CEO’s of Wall Street and Corporations receiving millions of dollars in salary and bonuses, an increase in the division between the wealthy and poor grossly out of proportion, creating unemployment, less public services, more jobs outsourced, it is now those receiving social security, any kind of health coverage, those who teach in public schools being told they are the greedy ones and must cut back on any entitlement.

Suddenly with Republican/Baggers in the majority in the Congress, and most State Governments, jobs, jobs, jobs have been replaced with a mantra of social conservative interpretation of morals and values, division of church and state becoming nonexistent and replaced with this is a Christian nation, and entitlement to anyone but big corporations and the ultra wealthy being Un-American and a Socialist plot to take over this country.

Suddenly anyone working in a Union, worried about their own reproductive rights, equality in marriage, wanting fair and equitable health care is the scapegoat for the ills this nation had experienced during the 8 years of the Republican rule in this nations government. Suddenly solving the problem does not requiring understanding how the problem started and escalated it is instead dummied down to those who were victims in the first place now being accused of initiating the whole awful chain of events.

Suddenly Rush Limbaugh’s ignorant accusations and crude comments, Glenn Beck’s paranoid, bigoted mind, Sarah Palin’s misread and lack of understanding of both truth and history, are the guiding force as who will become the leadership of the Republican party and who in the Democratic party should be portrayed as evil, Nazi’s, Communists and non Christians. Suddenly a group of people with little allegiance to anyone but themselves, lack of understanding of the Constitution, receiving lobbyist money from people like the Koch Brothers, homophobes, Islama-phobes, racists, sexists are creating chaos and dissension never telling the truth but relying on lies and say they speak for America.

Suddenly we forget about Joe McCarthy and Richard Nixon both with their enemies list stopping democracy in its tracks and replacing it with a dictatorial direction. Suddenly Roe v Wade is ignored and the rights given to women via the Supreme Court are useless and ignored. Suddenly after 60 years of collective bargaining, establishing fair and equitable ground rules in the work place, for women and children are to be tossed and removed. Suddenly hard answers are replaced with easy scapegoats; difficult choices for all Americans are reduced to blaming the poor, the middle class the worker. Suddenly the answer to all democratic problems you do not like is to carry a gun. Suddenly those whose own greed and gluttony are no longer held for accountability and anyone else is better to blame.

If we do not take back the democratic principals this country was founded on, reading the Constitution looking for our rights not the dissolution of rights, stating that equality for all is the what makes America great, then suddenly we will not recognize the United States of America as anything but a Christian nation full of white people, working at the whims of billionaires, having separate not equal population of citizens, filled with hate and distrust.

Don’t believe it, easy to find…they started with the Gays, then the Mexicans, then the Muslims, then the Blacks, then the Women and then the Unions. Wonder who will be next, suddenly?
