You know, it's not just important to pay attention to what people say, read politicians, but also watch what they do. Yes, indeed. When people show you exactly who they are, please, please, believe them.
What used to be skirmishes on cultural issues has now morphed into a fascist crusade, with proponents trying to tell people and companies who they can be, who they can mix with and what they can say. That's what Hitler did, at least in the beginning.
I don't know about you, but I certainly won't live my life based on what some cowardly and hypocritical politicians have to say -- you know the kind, the ones who try to score cheap political points at the expense of the marginalized, desperate and the underclass. Nice. Classy. Typical fascism. These assholes like to put a target on the back of people who happen to be some kind of minority and then walk away and deny any responsibility for their words and actions, when violence against that minority ultimately ensues.
That's Un-American, to put it mildly. Fortunately, what has morphed into culture war fascism has virtually no appeal with the American people, as the head asshole and hypocrite is now finding out. At least the other guy is actually smart enough to give these issues a wide berth because he already knows that they are ballot-box poison across America. But not the culture wars chump. Too funny.
As the saying goes, what goes around, inevitably comes around, Yes, even in politics. The United States of America is the greatest country on Earth, and it's certainly not because of its politicians. Far from it. It is the world's jewel and beacon of light because that's what it means to be typically American. Its institutions are its strength, along with its constitution. But far more important than that are the plurality of its people: decent, hardworking, fair-minded and willing to give the average next guy a chance to learn, grow and eventually prosper. That's what being American is all about. Nothing is more typically American than her people. The American Experience can never fail unless fascism implants its ugly and despicable roots across the country. Most Americans are far better than that. Their bullshit alarm meter is on and what the current crop of fascists are now selling, fortunately, America ain't buying. God bless the United States, the only constant force for good in this world that can and has actually made a substantive difference worldwide. America, quite literally, saved democracy and decency twice before. May she have the continued strength to do her God-given work and destiny again in the future. Without the United States of America, this planet is doomed to extinction. The Axis of Evil is forming, both at home and internationally. Americans, for the most part, are vigilantly watching and will move heaven and Earth against that, when the showdown ultimately comes. Peace is already in the last innings, largely due to totalitarian fascists. Americans instinctively know that. When the call that summons eventually arrives, Americans will once again heed that call for the battle of Good versus Evil. And thank God for that.
