It's harder to understand why the present day Democrats are so willing to enable the basest of Republican goals. This Democratic administration and many of the Democrats in congress, in connivance with the Republicans, have crucified the middle class and the needy and rewarded the rich and they've done it for a staggeringly cheap price, even less that the thirty pieces of silver Judas got. They're no longer substantively different from the Republicans. How can the party that gave us Woodrow Wilson , Franklin Roosevelt, Harry Truman and Lyndon Johnson also be the one that gave us Barck Obama and these Democrats? How can the party that gave us the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, the Federal Crop Insurance Corporation, the Federal Housing Administration, the Glass-Steagall and the Wagner Acts and the Tennessee Valley Authority be the same party that now gives us little more than concession and capitulation?
Now that an election is near President Obama again sounds like candidate Obama. He's promising jobs, he's promising a more equitable tax system and he's promising to defend the social safety net his predecessors put in place. My reaction is that I've heard it all before.
There's a war going on in America, a war for the soul of our country and it's going to take a revolution to make our government once again responsive to those who built this country, those who fought, and still fight, the wars to keep it safe and those who's labor generates it's wealth. It's going to take a revolution to wrest control of our government from the moneyed interests and the politicians they own. Hopefully, when it comes that revolution will be through the ballot box.
