Trump's claim that he will "Make America Great Again", is simply code
for "Make America White Again!"
And I'm getting very tired of hearing him tell us that he is the most
unprejudiced man alive. And I thought that listening to Hillary
Clinton was going to be difficult!

I read an article in The New Yorker this morning, that pointed out that
there are two differing conceptions of what America is. Our current conflict
has to do with the conflict between these two different conceptions. The

America is a country of, by, and for, white Christian men.

Subject: [blind-democracy] meandering and mumbling in the morning
As a boy, I loved going to the movies and watching the Gunslingers in the
Wild West, going about providing Law and Order among the ruffians who
frequented the saloons and brothels of those exciting Frontier Days.
The fact that those Gun Slinging Days never existed did not stop the
imagination of this small boy. As I walked alone to my Grade School,
fearful of the Barnes Brothers, and other Bully Boys lurking in wait for the
likes of me, I dreamed of swaggering into their midst with my six shooter
blazing and my iron fists slamming their ugly faces into pulp.
Millions of little boys and girls grew up on a steady diet of this, "Might
Makes Right" crap. So, how's that working out, after years of growing
violence in our efforts to bring Law and Order and democracy to the World?
Can we take a step back for a moment and ask ourselves why we have become so
disorganized? Could our love of violence in our entertainment have an
impact on our entire approach to Life? Is road rage, gang violence, school
bullies, womanizers, and angry shoppers shoving grocery carts up our
backsides just a result of over population? Or can it be a conditioning
that has been building since our brave forefathers scalped their first
Indian? Have we simply given over to our love of the Western Gunslinger
Mentality?
To my way of thinking, the people we "vote" into office simply reflect the
sort of people who are in the majority...or can seize the election. Rather
than Gunslingers, these modern "Cowboys" are Mudslingers. And they have
honed their skill down to a point that they can immobilize the entire
nation. That is, they immobilize the nation's People, while leaving the
doors open to the Super Rich to enter our Treasury without confrontation.
And all the while, we working folks are being fed a steady diet of lies.
What was it that old Adolph Hitler said? "If you tell a big enough lie and
tell it frequently enough, it will be believed."
Dear friends, I believe that we are now in the Age of the Big Lies.
That mud being slung by our elected officials is actually Quick Sand, and
we're being sucked in.
Once we understand that violence and anger and hatred are not making our
lives safer or better, we can take steps to begin replacing Hatred
and Contempt with Love and Understanding. Of course this will be a
long, rough road to travel. All efforts will be made to keep us stirred up
and hating one another. As long as we turn upon our fellow workers, we are
easy to control.
If I could wave a magic wand, the first thing I would do would be to remove
the majority of ,our "elected" officials, hold open public elections in
which All citizens could participate, and send representatives who embrace
our new approach to making life livable for all. The second wave of my wand
would be to return to the working people the dollars stolen from them by the
Super Rich. No one has the Right to steal from the sweat of another man's
brow.
My third wave would establish the Rights of security, health care, free
education, and respect.
My fourth wave of my magic wand would be to send out armies of men and women
trained to teach the workers of the world how to take control over their
lives.
My final wave would dissolve those fake boundaries that artificially divide
us into nations, and create a new "nation" of all people living in harmony
with all Earth' life.
...Oh Oh. I just woke up! Drat! Once again I'm back in the New Fake World
According to Donald Trump.
