The danger for the GOP

Is this the end of a cycle in America? 

Just over 40 years ago, Bobby Kennedy was gunned down in the kitchen of a hotel in L.A., thus ending the longest spree of political assassinations in U.S. history. We had turned into a banana republic barely disguised as a Democratic Republic. 
Last time, the Democrats got the blame for everything they managed to accomplish, even though most of what they accomplished was good and has stood the test of time. 

We all paid with worsening and worsening right-leaning administrations. Now, we find our selves so tilted to the right that moderate programs, programs like Nixon and Reagan advocated in their days, are considered nothing short of communism, totalitariansim, even Nazism, in todays GOP. 

It is definitely the Right who are in the streets with hate contorted faces. How many are on drugs, as well? 

Is all that foul mouthed, hatred owing only to their own brain chemistry? I would feel better if we found out they were all on Cocaine or Oxycontin. Then, we could at least say, "well what can we expect from drug addled brains?" If no drugs are involved, we are dealing with something much worse. These states are permanent, just below the surface, ready to erupt when the fire is turned up by hateful tirades of disinformation, blasted over the airwaves 24/7.

Who is in the greatest danger? 

The ones who created the monster? Politically, it is the creator and Karma can be a  bitch

This monster has been in the making for close to 40 years. Since the heady days of Ronald Reagan, the monster was well known by people who pay attention, even with a certain detachment.

 Will this monster devour it's creator? The chances are good, if the stoking continues. I just hope that something really more horrible does not have to happen before before we all turn and address this nation threatening horror before it costs us dearly, a price we cannot afford to pay. Not again. 

When will the Right realize that they will be held responsible for what their monster does. They will not be allowed to simply walk away wiping their blood stained hands as mentally unstable people, riled by ugly hate speech, carry out their programming like robots who have been engineered for destruction; self destruction if not other destruction.

It is the people on the Right who are acting out this time. They, too, are motivated by fear, just as the anti-war movement was and the Civil rights movements, in certain quarters, was. None of these movements were filled with courageous people. 

There will always be people who want a revolution. Usually, they are the very ones who will nit be brave enough to fight it. Thankfully, there are those who believe in evolution, even in the angry glare of the faces that bear witness to it's opposite.

Change is coming. It has to. It must. 

We can no longer walk down this same tried path of deception in the form of fear-mongering. It will be the end of us all, in one way or the other

Who wants to die over it? 

Who wants to kill over it?

Those are serious questions and they need answers, individual answers. These are not questions that should be answered while in a group. This is an individual kind of thing. When we are angry and our anger is being fed by a group, it becomes a mob and mob mentality is psychotic.


Who wants to calmly work through the problems and solutions we have or might have?


Let The Sun Shine In......
