In the final weeks of this Presidential campaign, I think it can't get worse, and then it does -- RNC mailings that portray Obama as a terrorist, and more abhorrent character smears against Obama from right wing racists like Rush Limbaugh. Joe Biden is absolutely correct when he begs McCain to stop now before this divisiveness ends in some unspeakable tragedy.
Have things always been this bad in the USA? I think so. This nation has always been divided from our inception, through Civil War times, to 1960's assassinations and now this awful bigotry over Arabic people, Muslims and blacks. Obama can check "none of the above." He's not Arabic nor Muslim, and being of mixed race, can identify with Caucasian if he wants. Sometimes I wonder why anyone would want to brag about being "white." I'm often terribly embarrassed to be associated with such intolerant and ignorant people. Which parts of the US are the Pro-American parts, Sarah? Good Grief!
Lest the Limbaughs and Palin-esk antagonists recall, America was founded by protesters and radicals. Those who had enough courage and backbone to get up and leave the oppressive English "mother land." Our Founding Fathers must be rolling in their graves when they hear McCain and Palin express American values. Ha! Real American values keep religion and governance totally separate. It's Un-American to have Pentecostal Holy Rollers dictating what religion means. No one knows more about Pentecostals than I do. I was raised with that crap before I totally rejected it as demonic insanity. Pentecostals are the most racist, bigoted bunch I've ever seen. They preach that Catholics, Muslims and Buddhists will all burn in hell. They only believe in their brand of Christianity, which surely isn't (Christian at all.)
So, maybe it's finally time that us radicals, you know the True Blood Patriots, "toss the bums out" meaning tell the right wing fascists to take a hike -- like to another country. Really. Go start your own government SOMEWHERE ELSE! This one belongs to independent minded radicals who appreciate someone who looks different than an uptight, white Archie Bunker bigot. I'll resume the meditation posture after the election. Drastic times call for drastic measures, and right now I guess I just don't have a Gandhi bone left in my aching body.
