Beware the Pisscontest, my son!!
Bush & Co. are out in force pointing at “finger pointing” and the “blame game” - pointing their fingers and “gaming” blame in every direction but the mirror.
The goal, as I suggested in an earlier post, is to get us all either defending ourselves from blame or putting massive energy into “proving” BUSH is to blame so as to patch over the REAL issue.
Bush didn’t cause the hurricane or global warming – he’s just the latest representative of a system that supports the accumulation of personal wealth at the expense of the general population – the few make the money; the many live in a fouled world and impotently face world-wrenching climate change.
Bush didn’t invent racism - he’s just the latest representative of a system that supports the accumulation of personal wealth at the expense of a group easily identified, scapegoated, and kept in poverty to serve their “betters” at slave wages.
Bush didn’t invent classism - he’s just the latest representative of a system that supports the accumulation of personal wealth by the few at the expense of the rest of us who ACTUALLY create the wealth.
Bush didn’t invent the notion of rolling back the “socialism” of the New Deal and the progressive advances made in the 60’s - he’s just the latest and most efficient representative of a system that supports the accumulation of personal wealth by squeezing more and more of it from the lives of those who already have the least: the poor, the aged, children, the ill and disabled, and the economically oppressed.
THE ISSUE, then, isn’t “Who is to blame?” The SYSTEM is to blame! It has been to blame from the start, from when our “Founding Fathers” said, “This country should be run by the people who own it” and decided that “too much democracy” wouldn’t be good but slavery would.
The “pissing contest” is intended to cover THIS up, to cover up the fact that the Republicans (and the Democrats, though not as blatantly) don’t care ANYTHING about the people – beyond, of course, what is necessary to maintain the prerogatives of the ruling class.
If this became clear to the people, all hell would break loose.
A bit of awakening did spring from the disaster in New Orleans and the totally callused/oblivios lack of concern by our rulers. Hence, the urgent effort to engage us in a national pissing contest.
Beware the Pisscontest, my son!
The smoke that bites, the mirrors that flash!
Beware the Dubya bird, and shun
The frumious Barbushsnatch!
