It appears my first attemp didn't go through. <br /><br />Brilliant writing and I would second what Anon @ 9:40 said. <br /><br />I would add this to the “Little Red State Fundy” story: the ground where they planted the seeds of hate had been fertilized with the institutional racism that runs bone marrow deep in this country. Never underestimate the horrible power and depth of this malignancy.

Whine a lot they did, but they also volunteered and licked stamps and got elected dog catcher and school board president and thirty years later they came out of nowhere to put Saint Ronnie into the White House.<br /><br />Some of our more excitable friends here on left, firebaggers and kossacks and chimpsters (oh my!), see the "out of nowhere" and "into the White House" parts but gloss over the "thirty years" part and conclude that if we all come together and screech loud enough we can propel Warren or Sanders or Nader into the big chair just like the fundies did. While I admire their passion and I actually share many of their goals, their strategic ineptitude makes me want to set my face on fire in noble yet doomed protest. One hopes that they smarten up, sooner rather than later, because we really could use their help in advancing towards the common goal.Horace Boothroyd IIInoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11363027.post-39543662797765876922014-10-16T22:57:25.096-05:002014-10-16T22:57:25.096-05:00Alas, the Prez does listen to his (mostly) white (...Alas, the Prez <i>does</i> listen to his (mostly) white (alleged) betters, the moderate plutocrats, and obeys them most abjectly.<br /><br />I wish he <i>did</i> dare not to listen to them--though in his defense, if he really did give the plutos the back of his hand, he would probably court the fate of JFK, if they couldn't trump up some charges on which to impeach him.<br /><br />Also, I would guess that by earning the favor of the plutos, he hopes to garner generations-spanning wealth for himself and his descendants, like the Clintons before him. <br /><br />(I assume if "aristocrats" can be shortened to "aristos", "plutocrats" can be truncated in similar fashion.)<br /><br />As for the <b>im</b>moderate plutos, they fund the apparatus of reactionary propaganda which Drifty spends the bulk of his blogging in describing and denouncing.Monster from the Idnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11363027.post-62625788822526797662014-10-16T22:39:41.069-05:002014-10-16T22:39:41.069-05:00I'm speechless..........
