With too many Americans, demagoguery works fine. The Obama legion does a collective knee jerk each time Rush lambastes Socialists, big spenders and [gasp] labor unions. Our media friends feature debunked economists and pundits long thought dead. They think Bobby Jindal is the bee's knees.
Who is left on the Progressive side in America? The Real News Network is promoting FDR's pioneering work. May I mention the name Charles Krauthammer? He lauds Obama as a "doer." When was the last time you heard a former National Review hand rave about a Democrat?
Abusing the Criminals and Not One Another
I can understand the frustrations that lead to violence. What I can't fathom is why they take it out on repo men, Police, their own families and even themselves. They are not responsible for economic woes.
Is it a matter of having a convenient target? Are we so lazy we take a potshot at the first authority figure that passes by? How does a father help his family by committing suicide?
Misdirected violence only gives the oppressors justification to attack innocent members of the community.
The first step is to clean up law enforcement and to allow them to investigate who the real criminals are behind the economic meltdown.
