STATES' RIGHTS...A BLIGHT ON OUR COUNTRY!

The Radical has been working overtime pitting citizens against each other. Citizens that have more in common with each other than they do with any of the "GOOPHER" candidates running under the disgraceful tent of the GOP. Seamus' abusive owner would those of us to are informed to believe he is the man of the people. If he abused Seamus to the point of running away up in Canada what can he possibility understand of the lower income people whose votes he hopes to wrest away from...well...ANYBODY!Claiming a victory in Michigan he plays down that were only a few districts that carried him: the richest districts. Santorum, vying for the new movie remake of THE OMEN carried the lower and middle class districts in Michigan. Using a Rev. Al story it appears Santorum got the gigantic pieces of pie! Delegates were split equally between Mitt the Magician who magically outsourced jobs at much cheaper rates, broke unions and whose wizardry to have Detroit go bankrupt went Ppfft in the face of the so called novice magic maker, Barack Obama. He who shall never again by named by me is this political cycle's Voldemort all appearing preened for success until the nonsense spills out of his mouth, of course ruining his magic moment. While at Daytona our villain admitted not being as great a fan as many and garbled his spell by adding his friends own the teams. A BP-esque way of calling everyone else "Little People". But as I wax the pen of whimsy there truly something serious going on here. In many states, legislatures have already passed state voting laws making state issued IDs the only pass into the voting booth. In Texas, to be fair, a gun permit is also acceptable.

States Rights. If this state by state movement weren't so threatening I would laugh at the desperate measures the GOOPHERS are utilizing because they must really know it is not likely a Republican will win a Presidential election. But goes even further than this. Republican legislatures have now closed hundreds of polling places in their states citing this will not prove inconvenient as it will only require another five minute walk and a little longer wait on line. They do not seem to care that it is highly noticeable and suspicious that these closings are taking place in minority districts that tend to vote democratic. They are giving us transparency alright. Loud and clear.

States Rights. This is a phrase that sends shudders down my spine! As a student of history I know that after the Civil War, President Johnson a rebel sympathizer turned away giving implied consent to what would become an indentured servitude class, despite being outlawed, called peonage. this made it possible for a white man to walk up to any Black man or woman and say "You owe me money". Well justice being as it was back then and, if the Goophers have their way we will all be reduced to this in time. But what happened is state by state these laws were passed making it possible for a Black person to be imprisoned under conditions that in many cases were worse than slavery because as the prisoners were leased out for hard labor, there was no need to even feed them!

Of course there was a conspiracy among the rich White ANGRY men, such as we are witnessing today to ensure prisons terms were far longer than the alleged debt.
Am I nuts to believe I am seeing history being repeated here? Am I nuts that the more States' Rights legislation is being bargained for, bought and instilled the rights of Americans are being trampled down to the days when the Good Ol' (WHITE AND ANGRY OF COURSE) boys club ruled over everything like a fifedom?

If there is war fare going on here it is NOT to the wealthy but to the poor, minorities, liberal voters consisting of rabble rousing vitriol designed to reach the least open minded and educated of us all. Yet, like in Civil War Times Santorium sneers at college education in a disparaging way. I guess it's the modern times' version of it being against the law for slaves to read. He would have it be a disgrace to be a person who THINKS!

To my dismay my doomsday conspiricist nature was right when long, long ago I saw a plot. A plot to destroy a rising class of educated thinkers from the ranks of our society in favor of fans who will cheer the loss of even their rights so long as no one else has them and jeer those among us who see the imminent danger being posed to us. Under the guise of so called success, under the shroud of coming from a poor family, under the guise of the bully pulpit These are the true Barbarians only they have been inside our gates for a very, very long time.
