The Elephant In The Room
What a mess! What a shameful, awful mess and the media, all of them are missing the point about the current government shutdown, orchestrated by less than two dozen to as many as eighty US Representatives. How can a third of the House of representatives hold, get this, revel in the lunacy of this so-called thinking, "hostage" hold two-thirds, the majority, hostage while the rest of the country hangs in the balance? How indeed!
A well orchestrated program, a Fox News exclusive repeated time and again as gospel, ensured that furloughed government employees and their families are judged by faithful Fox viewers as "lazy and overpaid". It is widely accepted by those who reside in the Rust Belt, the South and small town mid-western communities that the average government employee is minority (black/brown) and have just found another way to suckle on the government teat!
So, at this point, we have a very vocal, uneducated (being fed lies by a very divisive conservative media that strokes and inflames their fears and appeals to their pervasive desire to be superior) minority beating their chests and screaming "democracy" while trying to destroy every vestige of democracy that exists within the borders of the US of A.
Why, you might inquire? The re-election of Barack Obama to the White House is their reasoning.
Believe it or not, there are still people in the United states who have never accepted the premise that "All Men Are Created Equal". Our current society of unbridled, uncontrolled conservatism has unleashed a racist sub-group whose hatred for the president are shrouded in a series of non-issues such the Affordable Care Act (renamed ObamaCare by the conservatives) to the "debt ceiling", to defund Social Security Retirement Benefits (defined as an entitlement program by the conservatives), ah, the list has become endless over the years.
The reality is: the only thing that remains constant as a tipping point in each one of these grievances embraced by the ultra-conservatives is Barack Obama. The man's non-whiteness is an affront to many. How is it possible for a non-white person to inhabit the White House, much less have power over white men? The current government shutdown is only predicated on the fact that a minority of politicians and voters would prefer the destruction of the country rather than continue to live with a black man in the White House.
Isn't it about time that even Fox News festooned with their noxious and often delusional viewpoints, come clean and state the obvious?
