space invaders


There must be a witch or a boogyman, a monster to lay blame and point the finger. If what you do is really not done with righteousness there has to be wrong-full-ness placed elsewhere to distract anyone from discovering the truth. Do unto others as you assume they deserve, but never do for others the same privileges you partake on your own.

If you are unsure that the majority of Americans will vote for your Republican/Tea Party candidate, why then, just eliminate the amount of people able to vote. Create voter ID laws even when the statistics and history demonstrate there have no broken ID laws in the first place. Insist it is the American way to discredit voting rather than promoting this heralded value of democracy. Without much support of your candidate just try harder to eliminate the options for your opponent.

If you can’t really sell the positives for the rich staying rich, the wealthy for not paying higher taxes then by all means attack the poor. Call them lazy, call them leeches, call them the enemy, the ones who wanting to live off of minimum wage or food stamps are the real cause for a deficit to the nation. Use derogatory terms all coded in racial slurs to make sure the haters buy into your false propaganda weasle-ness. Mention that affordable rent, food, and medical care are harbingers of socialists, communists and if you can’t afford it stop sucking dry the coffers of real Americans. Never mention that the divide between the ultra rich and the poor is at its greatest ever, AND never mention that George W. Bush’s tax breaks did nothing for anybody but the 1%.

If it is not the Gays, the Women, the Immigrant, the Senior Adult, the Blacks it will be someone else because when the intention is not to solve problems, but create divergence a scapegoat is SO necessary. When politics is not about what we can do for you but more about what we can do for our own selfish needs then it is easy to conceive the need for anything but the truth. The truth of the matter does not matter and finding anyone to blame for any matter at the whim of the moment is the key.

Where is the decency and compassion once witnessed as a bipartisan blessing? Where are those who swear there is a God, practicing his intentions. Where is the conscience based on love instead of bottom line. Where are those who silently shake and quiver as they witness bigotry, bias, bogus being spread like a virus, saying NO MORE, NOT NOW, NOT IN MY COUNTRY? Where are the humans and why are they not fighting harder against this alien invader who pretends to an American.
