The Nuclear Fallout of the American Dream

Did you watch "60 Minutes" last Sunday night when they showed abandoned houses in Cincinnati, OH, being torn down because so many of them were 'under water' mortgage-wise? The majority of entire neighborhoods, evicted and demolished; while the banks that created these implosions go on business as usual, unscathed by these decisions that they made in the name of Corporate Greed and Profit.

The Occupy Movement was accused of being fuzzy on their demands re: this whole political/economic mess. But what was shown on TV were clear scenes of detonations of the American Dream dieing a rather somnalent, but ultimately violent death. Whole Communities have been laid waste, and yet the Banks that created the circumstances for this wholesale destruction remain unharmed and un-indicted in their responsibility.

How many more Cities need to die quick deaths before the mess of this nonsense is rectified and brought to some kind of justice? How many people need to be evicted, their houses going vacant and up for the Crony Bidders of the Banks that orchestrated this fallout? Some Communities might as well have had a nuclear bomb dropped for all the livability and sustainability that remains in them.

It's time to find a way to Indict the New Un-Indicted Conspirators, and take down the System that is obviously so corrupt that it can't even police itself.

Ah, The Republican Feeding Frenzy...

It seems that the Republican Candidates for President have been stumbling all over themselves to make mockeries of... Themselves. From Herman Cain and his 'infinite number of women' to Eye of Newt and his leanings towards his installation as the New Monarch (obviously with no Clothes to hide his bald lies and outrageous statements) to Mitt Romney (a.k.a. King George the Firsts [George Herbert Walker Bush] demented In-Law) and his 'Oh, what's this? This little bar code thingie?', the whole race is turning into hares trying to twist themselves into political pretzels. Too bad the Far Reich Tea Partiers doesn't see these gaffs as disqualify-iers against Higher Office.

Much was made of the Biden gaffs during the last election cycle, but this new batch of stumbler/ bumblers takes the cake (as in "Let Them Eat...") is taking the gaffs to new highs. Newt and his 'If I don't agree with what the Supreme Court decides, I'll haul them in to Congress under arrest if necessary to have them answer to The People' (as if the Little People were the ones he was talking about), take the Fascistic leanings of the Tea Party and their Acolytes to new lows, further deadening the possibility of democracy even further.

What next, Herr Gingrich? Abolishing the Constitution if it doesn't suit you? Instigating Martial Law to enforce your World Views? Even Mad King George the Second didn't do that with the reason of 9/11 to be his excuse.

How much more insane do the Politics of Hate and Deception have to become before even the most dim of political bulbs understands the consequences? How many more rabid Tea Partiers have to make 'jokes' of assassinating a sitting President because of his Color?

If they don't watch out, the feeding frenzy on the horizon will be the Republicans eating themselves alive with their beliefs and opinions.
