OBAMA'S CALL TO REDUCE AMERICAN'S TO INFANCY

I have tried to remain very objective about all of this. I find my frustration level and fear growing daily, feeling more and more powerless, in real ways, as tho all the dramatic predictions are actually unfolding... the sky really is about to fall.

The GOP plan didn't start with Bush. This chapter started at least 35 years ago, and to be very technical, it started 150 years ago. It's the same chapter and it includes themes of :

-rise of capital markets over capitalism, the ultimate return to sticks and stones
-removal of Americans as a production commodity value, over to a debt instrument securitized by the land itself, and the debt itself
-completed infantalization of the american core values and principles.

Washington, DC, has little power in the story where the citizens of the USA have not been reduced to infants, totally dependent on the events in DC,to determine the outcomes of daily lives. But in that story, Americans are true consumers, with the power to go without, in order to effect change, and are not delusional nor brain damaged, such that their beliefs are reflected in Washington.

The nation can wipe GWBush off the map, 50 million fundamentalist remain, and continue to be represented in the 2nd branch of government, the US supreme court. Likewise, as many far left newbie neocons who claim the flag of liberal, are also now rising to power.

The fight does not belong in Washington. The changes required for optimum constitutional governance, must happen in each of us. FIRST. No change in the Washington 'culture of corruption' until I LOOK IN THE MIRROR and ask, what am I consuming of the spoils of this corruption, of wars, of theft? Why am I paying 4.00 for gasoline? Someone holding a gun to my head?? Perhaps, culturally, but I determine the American culture and norms, as a member of a group.

Americans are not a family. But we have been reduced to the dynamics of the sickest of families with DC seen as parent and like usual, kids rebel. The obvious reality, however is I am not DC's child, and I have nothing to rebel, I simply need to stop consuming what they sell. It's called liberty, and with that comes great sacrifice and great reward. The 2 exceptions to this are Health care and legal representation.

Americans chose to become addicted to materialism, until it became a vital part of survival, as opposed to remaining convicted to standards of quality and principles, the core values of humanity that create goodness, and our own choices as a group culture dictated loss of freedoms.

Now, Americans are forced to be primary consumers, however without power or control, over the principled primary role of being Citizens, first.

Obama cannot fix anything in Washington, because he rode to this level of power on the backs of the broken paradigm that must be fixed. He took the risk of people being predictable within this culture of "they need to change, not me", and leveraged the future of the nation, in order to win. The win he wanted, he might figure out what to do after or if he gets there.

Why did Obama not show better judgement in demonizing Hillary Clinton? He was so sure he would win? But he didn't actually win, did he. Not without masterful display of hypocrisy and double standards, which the Americans didn't disappoint him in being willing to embrace.

I am just an "old, ignorant, blue collar, uneducated, Hillary hag" , who sat on college campuses 35 years ago, helping to change the face of the nation, and we called ourselves, Liberals.

We manned the soup kitchens, we wrote proposals for US reps to take to Washington, we organized and opened coffee houses filled with government documents and literature to make it easy for common folks to get the FACTS FROM THE SOURCE, (before internet), we boycotted Florida orange juice to reduce the outcry against gays, we took the fight to Reagan to help jump start research on HIV, we opened Hospices for people dying of AIDS, raised money to fund the research, we went on work strikes for Nurses, to try to equalize the pay scales without passing the burden on to the patient.......

But according to Obama, I am part of the CULTURE OF CORRUPTION, since Hillary has experience he doesn't have, and this is why I WILL NEVER ENDORSE THIS LEVEL OF ABUSE, by voting for Obama.

His arrogant but poor judgement will continually back him and the nation into a corner. This is not new stuff. Those of us old folks have seen the cycles and understand the one missing piece is 'what can I do, what must I change', that is more than pulling levers in voting booths.

If GWBUSH stole 2 elections. Obama stole the primary and it was wrong for bush and it's wrong for obama. My principles don't change when faces or corruption drama changes. Corruption is corruption and when a person rides in on the corruption that is the focus of needed change, I protest.

There is not one theme from obama that is logical or without hypocrisy. fine. but he made his platform on Hillary's 'evil ways' using language and inuendo and direct assault, that evoked shame, rage, and was more divisive and more abusive than Bush was to muslims via the right wing.

I don't feel compelled to vote for the GOP 's plan of financial surrending of the US, nor for the one who proves he cannot, has not, will not walk a talk, at a time the nation sits on a cliff.

It's time for the nation to grow up and deal with consequences of it's infantile posture. I won't be voting. Once again, I'll be saying, "I told you so" either way this election goes.

The stakes are and were much too high to play this game of 'feel good' and not look at consequences., nor reality.

Newt Gingrich is laughing himself to sleep these days. I don't blame him.

I thoroughly enjoy your blog Juli. This last entry helps me keep my bearings.I must remember that Obama is what he is & how he arrived at the position of Democratic Nominee.I believe that OBAMA is fundementally WRONG for US.This is a time unlike any other. The planet has never ben closer to global nuclear holocaust.The existence of humanity itself hangs in a very precarious balance. I have no desire to see what radical "CHANGE" might bring. The fallicy is that the President of the United States in OMNIPOTENT. There are factors beyond the scope of those powers. Regardless of who is the current "bobblehead" events already set in motion will continue on thier present course.Such as but not limited to, the coming of the North American Union, & the building of the CANAMEX corridor. We the People will pay heavily the price for our folly of previous generations as well as our own."We live in a day & age when political opinions are formed & votes cast based upon the 30 second television commercial"~ Albert Gore The dumbing down of the citizenry is complete as evidenced by the phenomenon of OBAMA. I daresay the Chieftan wears no clothes.
