Meet The Party of FAMILY Values

It was 2004 before I realized most Americans just weren’t getting the new ripple in our National psyche. In 2000, it was clear to me that something had fundamentally altered our Freedom awareness meter; some event(s) had diminished our attention span, even further; some process had magnified our blind spots and our capability to swallow even the most disgusting truth & lies, and keep right on “drinking the kool-aide.”

This was worse than Watergate & Nixon. It was worse than canonizing Reagan (because they had no bragging Rights since Lincoln); Anyway by definition, both Lincoln and Teddy would be Democrats today. At the very least, neither President would have permitted the slow undoing of our National fabric by either the “money changers” of K Street NW or the champions of a hood wearing philosophy, who now provide the cover up cloud of hush money, for bought & paid for politicians. Believe me, I try to keep an open mind regarding the GOP, despite the overdone John Boehner, scary Eric Cantor, foggy Mitch McConnell, foot-in-mouth Peter King and not to be outdone by SC Governor Sanford, John Ensign. However, each of these public servants, while serving themselves, continues to provide proof positive that GOP “speak with fork tongue.” Now I am forced to wonder if Right votes (& rhetoric) are motivated by “The FAMILY” of C Street. Aw, say it ain’t so Sarah: This Right “FAMILY” group, wrapped in The Stars & Stripes with one hand on the speed “dial a millionaire” button and the other profaning the Bible, are the secret bankroll for Republican Congressmen? You betcha.

First it was spin; then sound bites; then Re-Directing which, since the assassination of JFK, has been finely tuned by a TV Media & government who have participated both as culprits & victims. Now the new master stroke in low is using God to preach the Rights of sin: Love they Neighbor regardless of your marital status. Preach in the halls of government the skinny on what’s Right for America, and as a down payment, we’ll pave your political road with 30 pieces of silver. Truly, for the truth that will set us free, we must ask “The FAMILY,” and just as importantly, ourselves, ”Where is the bottom?!?”

While we have been believing in “Yes We Can,” the C Street Rights have been preaching, “Oh No You Don’t.” While we weep for the loss of an International Entertainment Genius, Members of Congress and State Houses have been shedding crocodile tears over the slowing momentum of a new President’s efforts to clean up the disturbing residue of a former VP’s band of thieves, masquerading as an Executive Branch of Government. Such leaders have led us not only into the depths of economic depression and moral decay, but most sadly, to the deaths & maiming of thousands of young Americans.

This new lower road America did not start with Florida chads or a compromised Supreme Court; nor with questionable Ohio voting machines; nor with Iran Contra; nor even with Watergate’s felons. No, this started the very moment “We the People,” decided to look the other way. It began when chasing the next buck resulted in outsourcing our children’s education in Civics, good citizenship and a sense of Self, Neighborhood and Community Pride, to video games, web surfing, twittering and worst of all, political talking heads & their comedic alter egos. It started the first time someone seriously thought it was Right to profess “America, Love it or Leave it,” or worse, “My Country, Right or wrong!” It started in back rooms, behind gated neighborhoods & continues in bank board rooms, where “We the People” are not invited. It started when our Second Continental Congress representatives allowed South Carolina’s Rutledge to force Jefferson to remove the freedom for slaves from the Declaration of Independence. It was the Sedition Act of John Adams; Andrew Jackson’s insistence that “the red savage” was dispensable because he was an inferior race and a conquered people; it was Tyler & Polk in Mexico; Lincoln’s assassination & Wilson’s isolationism; Hoover’s inability to see & Eisenhower’s waiting for the last round of golf before telling us the military was taking over; It was Nixon’s redefining presidential power, Reaganomics and a CIA Chief serving as Commander-in-Chief; and seemingly worst of all, it was the unbelievably tragic international consequences, resulting from a gross overreaction to oral sex.

Then finally the shadow government encouraged their puppets to step into the spotlight, free, especially after September 11, 2001, to easily harness our Right minded swing for some useful misdirection. So in plain view, the Robber Barons, now leaches swelling from the bleeding of America’s daughters & sons, declared their patriotism, in an oily war of their choice. In hindsight, we recognize some of their faces, even as our new, more honorable President seems determined (like Ford’s pardon) to allow the gang leaders to freely slink back into their lavish holes of darkness. Oh No, We Can’t Mr. President! For in truth, America can never truly be America again, until the truth is known about villains like P Wolfawitz, K Rove & D Cheney; traitors & disgraces to the Bar like J Woo & DS Addington; and criminals like A Gonzales & D Rumsfeld.

These and all those who preach Right for wrong, must be summoned to the very Justice they usurped with malicious intent. They have raped our international reputation as well as our economy and they must be indicted, tried and imprisoned, if we are ever to embrace the dream that was once The Land of the Free. The United States of America was born from the idea of an ideal. To fail to prosecute any citizen for the breaking of our laws, is to fail the very foundation that makes us who we are, and defines all that we strive to be. “Let the word go forth from this time and place, to friend and foe alike, that the torch has been passed to a new generation of Americans” who will not tolerate from its government anything less than the purging of the Dark Ages of the Bush/Cheney Regime. President Obama, “We the People” expect nothing less than a Rebirth of Freedom for all, transparent honesty from all elected officials, corporate leaders & banking institutions; AND an equitable implementation of the rule of law, guaranteeing justice for all, regardless of social position, job title or economic standing.
