America’s Shameful Culture of Rape

You are an inspiration to us all.

Thanks… it is a subject that hits close to home for me.

» Posted By BlueStateMan On August 28, 2011 @ 8:57 pm

Without a doubt… yet we (at least in our own ‘minds’) delude ourselves into believing that we have somehow ‘evolved’ beyond that.

We haven’t.

It’s about the PRESS.. and the willingness of our OWN “culture” to buy into the slight of hand.

» Posted By BlueStateMan On August 28, 2011 @ 8:23 pm

Thanks, man..

It really focuses upon how our ‘culture’ is far less ‘advanced’ that most are willing to admit… and it crosses every strata of society.

3000 years and we are moving BACKWARDS.

The Roman Empire was a paralytic, sclerotic, thousand-year survival that only managed to exist by being propped up by the strength of and the inertia of apathy.

Sound familiar?

My favorite description was Voltaire’s when he described God as being a “comedian playing to an audience that is too frightened to laugh”.

Game Changer? Cold Fusion? At Least We Should Know Soon

Shades of the “Pons-Fleischmann” scam in 1989?

If THIS works, it could change everything…. which is why it will be in litigation for about a century.

Message to the Lazy Left: THIS Is How It Starts!

There are way too many people in this Country who seem all too willing to buy into the garbage constantly spewed out of the mouth’s of the myriad throwbacks who comprise the right-wing demagoguery ….
 
After all…. more than half of all American adults (including one in five of those who say they are not religious) believe that they have been protected by a “Guardian Angel” during their lifetime.
 
Less than 50% of all Americans believe in Evolution.
 
More than 20% of adult Americans actually believe in “Vampires”.
 
20% believe that “spells” or “witchcraft” exists.
 
28% deny the Holocaust.
 
40% of Americans still believe that Saddam Hussein attacked us on 9/11. 
 
31% of adult Americans truly believe that President Obama is literally the ”AntiChrist” and the same percentage believes that he was not born in the United States..
 
Nearly 50% believe in Government “Death Panels”.
 
More than half in F.E.M.A. “indoctrination camps”.
 
This is a troubling reflection of what is become a serious national illness…. the manipulation of fear… borne of ignorance, morphing into hatred… manifesting into violence.

It’s no real news that the GOP has used institutionalized racism, bigotry, misogyny and homophobia to further their political agenda (just google “southern strategy” and you’ll have enough reading to last you a lifetime) and they are directly responsible for the re-legitimization and “technological upgrades” of those very tactics that have come out of their ilk.. weeping pustules like Rove, Murdoch and Breitbart.

And it’s no mistake that race hatred in the United States has gotten exponentially worse since the election of President Obama.

It is obviously not limited to the deep south by any means…. the only real differences being that bigots in the South seem to be more content to wear it on their sleeves, almost as a matter of ‘pride’… a badge of honor.

The racism in the rest of the country is much more insidious. It’s kept hidden, uses euphemistic language and “code words” cloaked in half-truths and obtuse ‘historical references’… and therefore it is far more dangerous.

The resurgence of all of the tried-and-true, established hate groups like the Klan and the Nazis.. not to mention the staggering growth in the number of new ones like the ‘militias’ and ‘Patriot Movements’ as well as the influx of white supremacists into the military and many State legislatures (see: Arizona, Utah, Wyoming, New Mexico, etc), the “Nativist” Organizations, the roving goon-squads such as the “Minutemen” and other vigilante groups…

All at a rate not seen since the Reconstruction…

And it is everywhere and it is out of control.

http://www.splcenter.org/get-informed/hate-map
 
In the early 1930s, the very same depressed conditions created the very same xenophobia, the very same bigotry… and eventually, the very same types of phony “populist” personalities the likes of Palin, Bachmann, Brewer, Walker, Kasich, Snyder, Peter King, Paul (BOTH of them) … Glenn Beck, O’Reilly, Hannity, Limbaugh, Malkin, Coulter, Buchannan, Savage, Robert Spencer, David Horowitz…. Pamela Geller, the list seems endless….

All of whom would ride the tide of this ignorance… the racism… the fear… and the hate that they themselves create out of whole-cloth and which gave rise to the likes of Hitler and Mussolini.

Cheered on by a depraved cadre of shills and dupes, all of whom insist on enabling their march back in time.. those all too willing to destroy all of the sacred protections that took centuries of sorrow and millions of lives to create and to protect will continue to try to spread their cancer. 
 
Those on the right as well as those on the left can slough off these the comparisons all they want.. but if they genuinely think that “civilization” has really evolved so much since then..

… if they are aloof enough to opine that it “can’t happen here”..

… blinded by a skepticism which invariably ferments and devolves into an intractable cynicism, it becomes more than just ‘counterproductive’.. it raises our worst fears to a self-fulfilling prophesy.

If there is only one organization that you are able to support (other than the ACLU), the Southern Poverty Law Center should be that organization.

What worries me is the fact that many progressives like this charlatan because he is “anti-war” (which he isn’t).
