the rationale for subordinating the mandate
the American electorate expects to see,
their hopes of change for a brighter future
fulfilled by Obama’s impending presidency.
Democratic leaders insist it would be wrong to interpret
the election as a mandate for substantial policy changes,
and that the next administration must “rule” (!!!) from the center.
And his own advisors are “well aware of the dangers
of interpreting the results of the election as a mandate
for unabashed liberal government,” and so the Democrats
must reject the will of the American people
and work with the bastards they just voted out.
Democrats are seeking to dampen expectations
and they’re joined by respected economists and historians,
investigative reporters, populist pundits and editors
of newspapers, magazines and online journals,
because not only are they sleeping with the enemy,
the enemy is who they have become.
This is what passes for The left in America.
And even Dr. Phil tells us that past behavior
is the best indicator of future actions.
Get a clue! Obama is not our savior.
Non-Blacks who oppose Obama’s policies
will branded with epithets like “racist” and “traitor”,
while Blacks who oppose him will be ignored or disdained
or perhaps given an “enemy combatant” designation.
Obama is not a uniter or a divider, but a pacifier,
a dark horse financed and groomed by the financial elite
to install as one more popular, yet pliant sock puppet.
What we’ve achieved is a Pyrrhic victory,
since it appears all we got for our vote
was a truly magnificent White House lawn jockey
sitting astride a neoconservative Trojan Horse
singing a siren song with the allure of unobtainable democracy
obscuring the fact that the economic and political process
is just a matter of deciding who gets what and how much.
And his administration will regurgitate the same old agenda,
while a recycled Clinton/Bush team continues to cakewalks us
down the river for sale to the corporate plantation
in a parody of change which is the status quo in blackface
and the Democratic Party and the corporate-owned media
form a Greek chorus bewailing our “exaggerated claims
of entitlement” and “impractical” raised expectations
for which they having nothing but contempt and callous disdain.
Obama is the exclusive property of billionaires,
bought and branded with the 745 million dollar mark of Cain,
whose most valuable asset will be getting the American people
to voluntarily drink this Peculiar Institution’s Kool-Aid.
And unless this rightwing Trojan Horse,
is actually a double-agent/mole,
Americans have once again been screwed
in the ongoing electoral minstrel show.
Wherein all the bipartisan chiefs of Washington sit within
bearing our collective death and fate -
“And are Ulysses arts no better known?
This hollow fabric either must enclose
within in blind recess, our secret foes;
or ‘t is an engine rais’d above the town,
t’ o’erlook the walls, and then to batter down.
Somewhat is sure design’d by fraud or force:
trust not their presents, nor admit the horse.”
- Virgil’s Aeneid, Book Two, translated by John Dryden.His “Team of Reactionaries embodies the president-elect’s cynical and contemptuous repudiation of his campaign rhetoric and the aspirations of the vast majority of those who voted for him.” - Tom Eley
“The illusion of freedom will continue as long as it’s profitable to continue the illusion. At the point where the illusion becomes too expensive to maintain, they will just take down the scenery, pull back the curtains, and you will see the brick wall at the back of the theater.” - Frank Zappa
“People who shut their eyes to reality simply invite their own destruction, and anyone who insists on remaining in a state of innocence long after that innocence is dead turns himself into a monster.” - James Baldwin
