Rescuing the USA;
by

How do we
take her back from the wolves and jackals and what steps should we
be planning to rid her of the cancers and chancres which right wing
extremists have infested her with?

If
the USA is rescued from the wolves an jackals who are raping and
devouring her, what will we have to do to salvage what remains? How
many deregulated industries, categories, activities will have to be
re-regulated? How many taxes will have to be re-instated? How many
criminal politicians will we have to try, convict and jail? How many
privatized "industries" will we have to de-privatize?
Someone should be putting a list together. The left should have
think tanks that are planning for these tough jobs that must be
done. Bill Clinton failed this nation by not going after George Bush
Senior and Ronald Reagan for their crooked Contra machinations. If
Clinton had had the spine to take these tough tasks on, then we
wouldn't have George Bush letting the wolves and jackals into the
Whitehouse.
The
men and women who are running on democratic, green and independent
tickets should take a stand on these tough issues and should promise
to take back America from the corporatists and theocrats who are
trying to turn the USA into a technologically advanced Taliban-run
Theo-corporate feudal kingdom for the wealthy and their religion
intoxicated serfs. Jesus teachings could make this world a better
place, but too many churches, ministers , religious organizations
and leaders have twisted and distorted Christianity so that much of
it is a danger and threat to humanity. We need to wake up the
millions of good people who have been hypnotized by ego driven
leaders who use them to eke out power and wealth, flogging them with
fear of God, fear of hell, fear of people who are different. We have
to expose these ministers and church leaders, including Ratzinger,
who use their pulpits for wealth and influence as supporters of
giant corporations, unjust and unnecessary wars, and quite
literally, the destruction of the USA's economy, our educational
system, our natural resources and our constitutional inheritance.
We
need to take back from privatization our voting technology and
software, our energy companies, our water and sewage companies, our
waste removal and disposal companies, our airwaves, our schools. We
need to start charging taxes to all organizations, including
mega-churches with bowling allies, movie theaters and coffee shops.
We
need to quit the World trade Organization, drastically change the
International monetary fund and all our agreements regarding
international trade. Our current deals help international
corporations, and not the American people.
We
have to look long and hard at our largest company, Walmart, and
decide whether they are an American company or a Chinese company
seeking to milk the US for all the money it can, while
simultaneously wiping out US industries that can't compete with
Chinese labor. Maybe, as a stopgap measure, we can put a tax on
sales by all companies that are using non-US goods for more than 50%
of their products or parts. If that violates the world trade
agreements we have signed, then we need to terminate those
agreements. If Bush could terminate global warming and diplomatic
agreements, then we can cancel trade agreements.
Before we take back America, we must take back our vote. The
Republican congress seems unwilling to allow that to happen. If they
refuse then this issue alone is enough to cause nation-wide
demonstrations, protests, and whatever levels of activism it takes
to force the end of corrupt vote practices-- from unverifiable
counting and tabulation to planned situations that make access to
the vote, due to long lines, bad technology, inappropriate voter
roll purges, etc.
We
cannot allow one more vote for congress or state offices to be held
without the highest standards. If we fail to bring about these
changes then none of the cures mentioned above will be possible. The
US will become a single party nation because people won't bother to
vote.
The
people who have perpetrated the abuses against our voting system
have committed crimes against democracy. No-one should think they
can get away with breeching our democratic processes. The penalty
for such crimes should be so severe that they will dissuade people
from meddling with the gears that keep our nation free and honest. I
believe crimes of vote corruption, that threaten or damage the
democratic process should be capital offenses, and that the
sentence should be execution or life imprisonment in solitary
confinement, without parole. This should be a law that gets
non-partisan support.
Then, the law must be appropriately applied, not like the whitewash
investigation of voting irregularities currently being held, with
James Baker included on the panel. This is a clear case of having a
fox on the jury trying thefts in the henhouse.
The
United States of America is in danger as a nation. Will we, in our
lifetimes, see it collapse, as China and India take our industries
away from us, as vote theft enables theocorporatists to infect and
infest our major organs and systems? Will the nations we are growing
more and more in debt to pull us down?
We
must wake up the patriotic Americans who put nation before Pope,
before Megachurch minister. We must teach those citizens who would
sell out our nation at the behest of a pope or minister or
televangelist who tells them who to vote for that they have lost
their way We must take back or take down the media that have been
taken over by transnational megacorporations and we must do it soon
or we won't be able to do it at all.
At
some point in the 1930's, millions of Jews and Poles and Germans,
Austrians, Italians, French and other Europeans left their homelands
when they realized their nations had become dangerous and
psychopathic. Those people were survivors. We need to stop the USA,
the most powerful nation in the world from continuing along the path
to psychopathy. It will not be easy. But it can be done. It will
take more commitment and activism NOW than you engaged in during the
presidential elections.
Our
"enemy" is not just the extreme right. It is also the leadership of
the centrist portion of the Democratic party. They would sign a
Faustian pact with the devil that writes off women's rights
(opposing abortion,) that allies with megacorporations and that
makes the Democratic party look more and more like the Republican
party. This is the road to failure, the road that will allow the USA
to crumble and fall.
YOU must make an inner commitment to get involved, to become
active, to spend at least several hours each week helping this
cause. YOU must start contributing all you can afford to causes and
organizations, to campaigns and activist groups. You must stretch
yourself and start doing things you've never done, giving more money
than you ever gave before, than you thought you could afford, giving
your time to the work that must be done. Do not be satisfied with
what you are doing now. Do not make the excuse that you have to work
or give time to your family. Your job or your business is at risk.
Your family's future, your children's and grandchildren's futures
are at risk. Our colonial ancestors took up arms in time of need. We
don't need to take up arms, but we do need to consciously commit
ourselves and our lives to rescuing America. Now.
