Image via WikipediaThe long-awaited Dream Act is up today in Congress. And it will undoubtedly fail.The Republicans, with their anti-Latino sentiments and outright racial hatred, will now block the measure that will give students who were brought here as children (without a choice by parents) and have no criminal record with intents to join the military or go to college a pathway to citizenship. At least half a million students will see their dreams fail again and be forced to work in the slave fields of America, as under-the-table employees at restaurants, and yes, as the proverbial maid, because Democrats AND Republicans are acting like slavemasters.
Yes, Democrats, too. Why did the Democrats (and Mr. Obama) wait until there was CERTAIN FAILURE before bringing this up? There is always talk about immigration reform, but in the end, this country is not ready to accept its diverse culture. Half the country is still stuck in the pre-Civil War days, wishing they could simply pluck any brown-skinned person off the street and claim them as chattel or simply put a bullet through their head. Don't believe me? Ask Arizona.
By the way, the Republicans cannot whine about cost when they just passed a tax cut for the uber-rich that will COST our country over $700 billion.
It's not about money, folks. It's about culture and fear and about the puppetmasters who pull our strings.
Do you really think there is a difference between Republicans and Democrats? No. Congress is controlled by money and lobbyists. And the president America elected to enact change has enacted nothing but compromise that keeps corporations in power in our country.
What separates us from China is free speech. Free speech lets us rant and rave and pat ourselves on the back for being so revolutionary while our controlling slavemasters in Washington smile at us stupid children content to play with daddy's car keys (never realizing that we will never, NEVER drive the actual car).
Democracy and capitalism in America has failed, folks:
- Our children go to substandard schools rife with violence and metal detectors.
- Our children consume "food" laced with chemicals and poisons.
- Our children breathe air rife with toxins.
- Our system promotes the continued cycle of poverty.
- Our health care system overcharges America into bankruptcy, and insurance companies line their pockets.
- Free market is a joke as multibillion corporations slowly consolidate the world's food supplies and energy.
- We fight wars over oil and energy, not principle.
- American democracy has been reduced to a bunch of talking points on Media Mogul's propaganda networks.
- Pharmaceutical companies create illnesses and then kill hundreds of thousands a year with the side effects of their "cures".
What can we do to stop this demise of the world's most innovative political experiment? Is it too late for the US. of A?
We need to break down the two party system. We need to limit terms in Congress, drastically. We need to limit spending allowed on political campaigns and stop the lobbyists from further destroying our country.
We need to Vote with our DOLLARS and our common sense.
I don't know where the men and women are in our country that can enact this change. I am guessing they are too busy right now trying to raise families, pay the bills, and avoid foreclosure. I am guessing that the real Americans are not sitting prime and preened in the White House and in Congress. I am guessing the real Americans are out there slaving away, trying to put some food on the table and maybe avoid incurring any more credit debt.
The only thing I can do is vote with my money. And pray. A lot.
So find out who pulls the strings in Washington. I don't care if you are Republican, Democrat, Independent, Anarchist, or whatever. Find out who is running the show, and then boycott them.
You don't need all that junk that corporations think you do. You don't need to vote for who they say you do. You don't have to subjugate your children to the disgusting culture propagated by media and the supercenters of America.
A great man once said, "It's not what your country can do for you, but what you can do for your country."
Folks, America needs you. Now. We can't wait for another election and another bozo (Republican or Democrat) running the country. We can't wait for the meatheads elected (new and old) in Congress to give a crap about us. They don't. They are puppets, no matter how revolutionary they say they are. Once they get in there, it will be the same old thing (just ask the poor excuse for politicians in the Democratic party).
God bless America before it is too late.
