I mean, in a clarion shout, we the people, elected a Black Man into the most powerful position on Earth. Not only that, he is a near-Socialist if not an out-right one; his economic views call for a radical re-distribution of wealth, social healthcare, a global policy of inclusion and discourse. Yet, and yet, twoof the states who voted for him overwhelmingly also, in the same breath, passed legislation that banned (or in the case of California, re-banned) same-sex marriage (yes, I am aware that the numbers haven't completely finished in California). I find that idea infuriating. I am not surprised, mind you. I know better than most, that most ethnic groups are conservative by nature. If we can just get past the race thing (also welfare, abortion,
I am sick, so sick and tired, of the gays and lesbians, bi and tolerant people in this country continue to support politicians who DO NOT CONCEDED THAT THEY ARE HUMAN!. I mean, really. How much longer will the "best of evils" choice will be tolerated? I pay my taxes as well as anyone. I was born to two citizens, on American soil, and yet, and yet I am a second-class citizen by default. Then again, what else can I expect? Democracy is in and of itself idiotic. The rule of the mob? Really? Hell, they don't even know who or what they are voting for most of the time, how it ties to anything in their lives. Freedom to most is a concept of able to do what I want. . .but I don't like that so you shouldn't be able to?
However, I am not pissed off. I am horribly disappointed. We made huge strides ahead, and still so many more fall behind into the quagmires of lunacy.
Oh well, the Socialization of America comes.
I know, on a deep level I should be happy. I am not. Maybe as time passes I can re-write my own mind. Better yet, I may come to understand and accept the inevitable change into a totally new America. The first painful complicated step toward globilization. It may be extremist, gods know I have been wrong before, but it is what I see. I may be able to cope with a Socialist America. Yes, I am very aware that Bush fucked us on so many levels its fucking funny. But remember, that can't be wielded as an excuse for long. The common populace doesn't have a memory that long, nor comprehend the monumental task facing Obama.
Fiscal conservatism is fucking dead. I have to deal with that. It is a truth now. Absolute.
Social conservatism has stagnated. All of it is nothing more than fans for flames an shutting off reason in followers on both side.
Social Liberalism: See Social Conservatism above.
Global Politics: Obama is popular. However, I cannnot tell if its becuase the jackass is almost gone, they are, for some alien reason, fond of Obama, or if its the glee of untested raw meat.
I am ill at ease.
I am happy.
I am frustrated.
I am at a loss at my place in the world.
I may have to re-work my politcal viewpoint. Imperalism is no longer remotely possible. Social dreams can't move for years. Arrgghhhh.
I wish I could dream.
