Historically is the rancor any different.....

...think about it.

1. The Constitution, a document that ranks in the top five in history for governing principles, set us up for the Civil War.

2. The Civil War was the result of a massive paradigm shift and how a President - not one of us according to his eventual murderers - must choose the difficult road because of the morale imperative.

3. Social Security, the epitome of the government acknowledging that it must provide a safety net for its seniors, fought against by tooth and nail by the wealthy of their time.

4. Desegregation, a vision of a better America where everyone who could add value to our country is given an equal chance, made a mockery of by a small, Southern governor who tried to block a university in a gesture that was simple fucking stupid.

And now, the fight for health care played in front of the sycophant media in all its high def glory. Focusing on the stupid, the ignorant, the formerly entitled, not because of their wealth, but because they feel it's a birth right based on their lack of melanin (for the record, wherever I go I am the whitest, white man within a 100 mile radius).

To quote a motherfucker of shoots guy in face, "they're in their last throes."

1. Maybe not,

but its so much LOUDER now, as we can hear it ALL, 24/7.

2. The wealthy worried about not being wealthy after Social Security and

after Medicare. What happened? They became wealthier and wealthier and wealthier.

Penny-wise and pound-foolish.

3. Not too different from Germany in the early 1930s, anyway.
