Voila, the middle class forgets that it's being fleeced because it has a "president" it can hate. Consequently the fleecing continues, with the help of Barack Obama.
ã �� ��
Not only does the fleecing continue, but because the screen play has the black president proposing a populist health care agenda, the middle class, the object of the shearing, strongly opposes this agenda. They use arguments that anyone who lives in the same zip code as common sense would realize are not filled with holes, but are, in fact, nothing but holes.

So, to those members of the American society who think, who may lean a little "to the left", whatever the hell that means, who may be able to tolerate those with ethnic backgrounds or skin color different from their own, I say that this fight for right has been happening from the time the first person indigenous to what is now The United States was killed by an intruding Western European. I say that, since that time, citizens not belonging to that elite class have not been welcomed in this land. Indeed they have been useful. They've spilled their blood in other lands so that the riches of the elite class can be increased. At the same time, the blood of many of the second class citizens has been spilled in this land in attempts to share some of the elite's riches. They've died in other lands on behalf of the elite and they've died in this land in the process of taking baby steps towards some kind of equality with the elite. That equality is still nowhere in sight.
ã �� ��
The elite don't want us here. They need us on occasion to help them invade the lands of innocents and rape those innocents of their rightful resources. They used to need us to run the machines which turn the stolen raw materials into greater strength for themselves. They don't even need us for that anymore.
ã �� ��
However, in spite of why ever they may need us, they surely don't want us. We are not welcomed here. Those of us who believe in the words written in the Declaration of Independence, the Preamble to the Constitution or Lincoln's Gettysburg Address, however disingenuously proffered, are not welcomed in The United States of America. As the need for us lessens, the desire, indeed, the tolerance for us, correspondingly decreases. The sooner we realize this, the sooner we can defeat them.
ã �� ��
By defeat them, I don't mean protest, peacefully or otherwise. I don't mean write to our members of Congress. I don't mean writing letters to the editor or even writing articles like this. I certainly don't mean working within the system as there's no system for those of us who want equality among all people and fairness for all people. There's no system in which people who care can debate in a mature fashion. There is no system in which we can work to change things.
ã �� ��
Working outside the system in this land would be suicidal and would surely lead to defeat and untold death and destruction.
