snake oil salesman

Con Man may refer to: A con artist, or a person who uses a fraud method known as a confidence trick.

Racism: Is the belief that there are inherent differences in people's traits and capacities which are entirely due to their race, however defined, and which consequently justify those people being treated differently, both socially and legally.

Bigot: Is a person obstinately or intolerantly devoted to his or her own opinions and prejudices, especially one exhibiting intolerance, and animosity toward those of differing beliefs.

Lemming: The act of blindly or heedlessly repeating the actions or words of another.

Enabler: one who enables another to persist in self-destructive behavior (as substance abuse) by providing excuses or by making it possible to avoid the consequences of such behavior.

Donald Trump suddenly has taken his reality show life and has decided that too many people were not watching his Celebrity Apprentice and he needs more attention and is an unannounced announced candidate for the office of President for the Republican/Bagger Party. He has no real platform upon which to help America regain its pride and passion so he like the Con Man he is has come up with a fake concoction of snake oil and is selling his potion of promise without any plausibility.

"The Donald", a shyster and Con Man understands that fear is a common trait many ignorant and uneducated people call upon to justify their lives. Blame others for your misfortune, be afraid if that if others get their way they may make you even a lesser person then you seem to think you are and terrify the dumb that anyone different is the bogey man. And the Con Man has told the Racists, that a Kenyan, Muslim, Black man with the most powerful job in the world is not one of us and should not be trusted. He has filled the world of the hater and self imposed victims with innuendo and suppositions and without any or all credibility has them buying his snake oil.

The 'Birthers' will never settle for any documentation that has been posted as real because they don't want any evidence that does not permit them to justify their Racism and hate for the black man with a very Un-Christian sounding name.

But wait, "birtherism" is so yesterday and any snake oil salesman worth his weight in fraud and fiction needs something new, something more magnetic to attract those who only know hate. So now this Con Man Trump has decided to wonder, wonder out loud that is, about how a 'nobody', a 'black no body' living in a lower class neighborhood with one parent could have possibly gone on to Columbia University and then done graduate work at Harvard, without lets say some kind of hank panky? Maybe that hanky-panky took the form of affirmative action, and for all those who love to hate for no other reason because they are Bigots know all that affirmative action is good for is to take away from the whites and give to the blacks. And this snake oil salesman knows that Bigots love to blame someone else's success for their failures.

Now we can add one more full of wholes fact to the teetering tower of 'birtherism' by assuming the evils of affirmative action have stuck a stake in the heart of America. And one more reason why whatever is wrong with our nation stems from this Non-American stupid jive talking man receiving something he never earned.

And filled with inspiration that his lies, fabrications, fornication with the truth have caught favor with the religious zealots, the Baggers, the homophobes, Racists and Bigots the Con Man has lined up enough Lemmings and is leading them to never talk about their economy, their jobs, their standard of living, their fair share, but instead has preached the evils of just one man and has them dancing by dozens to ignore the real and instead live his reality show of deceit and devious. And as most Lemmings, no one is bothering to ask any questions and gladly will stand upon the abyss and jump. Not the Con Man, however, nope, he has more snake oil to sale somewhere else, a sucker is born every minute and in some other town.

And as the snake oil salesman is slithering and sliding never once being held accountable for disclosing the ingredients of his potion, he is joined by the Enablers to never question his motives but to lend more credence to his inexplicable elixir. The Enablers in the form of CBS, ABC, NBC CNN, FOX insist on asking him how do you know, what do you know, why do you know and settle for his well polished run on answered reply. And these Enablers finding no backbone nor conscience let the snake oil salesman rant and rave and never say you lie and in your lies you are treasonous and more Anti-American then any traitor or terrorist.

This is a story about one snake oil salesman, a Con Man, who lives upon the strength of Racism, Bigotry fueled by the love of Lemmings to never look inward, and Enabled by people who think the Con Man is entertaining and marketable. This is a story about American politics in 2011. Sad story, I think!
