Gone With The Wind.

[Solomon]

That's what all the drama, the teaparties, the crying and weeping and wailing is really all about. Hannity and Limbaugh getting so ugly.

We're reliving the same thing 21st century style. There's 30 percent of us desperate to hold on to white supremacy, no matter what the cost. They can't win national elections anymore with just 30 percent and the truth of their message. So they are having their temper tantrums. That's why they can't stand the idea that America is one country among many. Equal partners.

This kind of thinking just boils their blood. Equal partner doesn't mean that you cannot be the leader. But it does mean that leadership is to be earned and not forced.

We should not have any problem with that, right, since where "the best country God ever created and the light of the world".

As I've said many times, despite many claiming the opposite, society is most definitely moving toward one more based upon merit, than it has in the past. The 30 percenters are the ones who holler and cry the most about reverse discrimination, affirmative action, welfare, social security,etc.. because these kinds of things open the door for other people to compete in the system. And this is their greatest fear. They are losing the entitlement that they have enjoyed, while denying vehemently that it even exists. Deep down they know that they won't be able to compete.

They are getting so ugly, that they remind me of what happened in the early 60's when white supremacy politicians, be they republican or democrat, had to disavow their affinity with the Ku Klux Klan. Even if they continued to share some of the same views, they had to distance themselves from the Klan because it became embarassing to openly espouse Klan views.

This is what's going on now. The teabaggers were so ugly that they made it embarassing for other people who might share some of the same views, to be associated with them. The more rabid they scream, the more embarassing they become.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not casting any blame on anyone. At this point we are all in this system together. "White supremacy" is really a state of mind, and we all, no matter what our physical color,living today, have benefited from this system. That's why a lot of people get confused when they see people of color in the service of white supremacy. We are all, here in America, enjoying the fruits of what the system has achieved.

And it was a hell of a system in it's achievements. It brought us undreamed of luxuries, experienced by more classes of people, than any system in the past.

But it was also, and is, ruthlessly efficient. Brutal in it's course, but what system wasn't?

The time has come, sadly for some, for it to end. It's day is done. It has served it's purpose. People are moving on, evolving to the next step. Consciousness is changing.

Sure. It will take some time. But soon it will be gone with the wind.

1. I get your point...

but I frankly think the late Margaret Mitchell and her literary work deserves a bit better than to be compared to these asses...
