((I know many don't like to read more than two lines of text, but what is of concern is always more than what can be captioned in two lines of text, or embraced by short attention spans) Hopefully some invest the time to read and then invest the time in thinking... then sharing those thoughts to help us see ways to a better society and nation. ))WE HAVE MUCH TO CONSIDER- OUR FUTURE DEPENDS UPON WHAT WE DO... AND WHOM WE ARE.
For Centuries this nation has lived many lies and made them common place, from the time the Constitution was HIJACKED and claimed to be only for "white men". At such time, it disrespected and disregard women as persons, they were made to be "possessions" and sustained in that cycle, by not allowing them to vote, not allowing them to work, and not allowing their voice and presence in the system of Governance. It went into the extreme vile of becoming the worlds greatest human abusers with its slavery and how it spread the denigration of non white people around the world, devastating the worlds view of black people and placing other ethnicities as second and third tier human beings.
Yet, this nation was "built" by "diverse immigrant labor" and propelled by slave labor to be and make itself wealthy. the premise of such wealth, bred and fed a system that today has its own form of Caste and Class Madness, and still it denigrate women, and minorities and devastate the nature and image of black people to the lowest level it can.
President Obama said: LET'S REBUILD AMERICA, FROM THE BOTTOM UP AND MAKE A LEVEL PLAYING FIELD FOR ALL, HE ALSO SAID, LET "DIPLOMACY" BE OUR MANNER OF WORKING WITH THE NATIONS OF THE WORLD.
The Right Wing Mentality went stone crazy and attacked from every angle. Sadly, in such attack, it used the poor among the white society to promote and spread this madness. When Fact Is, the poor whites in America, have never been regarded as being anything more than the "Service Class" to the wealthy, paid as if they were still Indentured Servants, while minorities were and are paid, at a rate that is no higher, that it cost to "house and feed a slave".
We have to OPEN OUR MINDS to see the truths... if one is not willing to do that, then get in your vehicle and drive across the city you live and look at the "expanding ghetto's, comprised of White, Hispanic, Immigrant and Black ghetto's. Drive in the country side, and look at the areas that one might even forget they are in America, and they they've driven to some remote 4th world environment. The devastation is horrendous.
The values of the Democratic system is one that considers people and the humaneness of society as a value above the greed cycles of industry, we have to find ways to truly help people learn and understand the meaning of this.
We've seen decades upon decades of industry bringing havoc to the same people that helped it grow and thrive as both consumers of its products and services as well as workers who performed the functions and duties to help it produce and sell. We've also seen the continual rise of the the vile that our university system has taught into the minds of the executives," where greed" is the basis of their motives, and their ideology is trained to still function on a model based in the days of "how to keep the slave owners and industrialist wealthy" and how to keep the people 'in constant need". We've seen the disaster of madness the medical community has been made, where a simple "visit to ER" carries a base cost of $8-9K, for the most basic of services for a stay less than 1 hr. An Ambulance ride, with a cost of $900, as a base cost. Yet, we remain silent about these "fees and cost" because we've been deluded and groomed not to question the medical system and its cost structures.
This will never be addressed by Republican system, it will take Democratic Systems to fix it. We saw that with ACA (Affordable Health Care) , which challenged these cost, and challenged the collusive way they made people bankrupt, and seized peoples homes via liens based on exaggerated billing cost. We saw ACA challenge the Insurance Companies and put a stop to their "denial of benefits" due to pre-existing condition. Yet. all we saw from Right Wing Confederate Idealist, a continual "attack" upon every aspect. They had no basis for the attack, other than to aspire to the ideals of the Confederates, who's Ideal was to provide nothing to the people and make the people pay exhortation cost for anything and everything for the sake of feeding the greed of the Confederate Idealist.
We saw the TRUTH OF THAT, when the Republican Push the Health Care Bill, which should have been labeled "how to kill of 30 million or more people and devastate the elderly and children of the poor to a quick and expedient death. and charge them a high cost to be "slaughtered through their process".
It's time to AWAKEN, We saw the Democrats promote ideals to Restore, "Public Service Community Colleges, that served the people without fleecing them with cost. We saw the Democrats seek to Restore Public Service State Colleges and Universities to be cost effective for the Average Citizen... These things were too, fought against by Republicans who aspire to the Confederate Idealist Model, of "take from the people, use them up and give nothing back, as if the people are simply disposable labor for the enrichment of the wealthy.
That's not what America is about. It is about "Civil Society, that Respects the Civics of Systems that Support Civil Society and the people who make up that society.
What good is greed when it destroys all that it touches, what benefit is wealthy beyond what provides a stable life, when it destroys everything around it and beyond even its own community.
We have Evangelicals who abuse the premise of God teaching, and convert it to Greed seeking, and material measure, while it stand in support of a Republican Agenda that has no respect for the citizen population, no respect for the environment and certainly no respect for Regulatory Governance and even lesser respect for the system of Taxation that helps support and promote Civil Society and the attributes that make our system have infrastructure and stability within and of that infrastructure.
Yes, there is a reason there is Democrats, who respect America and the Civility of People and the Humanness of Society and support the system of Regulatory Governance, which protects, the lands, the people, the societies and their communities and the organizations that make and support the Nation as being America.
