We've been reduced to name calling of the most fearful kind. We throw
insults of "socialist" and "fascist" at each other, while vultures
pick at the carcass we're all hiding inside. (The carcass is society
cause I'm a literary master like that) When you amplify the fear in
our hearts, we don't even look past the first word screamed. Tea Party
people will spew hatred at the suggestion that a rival is a god damned
socialist sooner than they're do a minute of research into the tenants
of socialism and why anyone would find it a beneficial set of
approaches to governing a people. Meanwhile, on my liberal side,
conservatives are seen as so uniformly crazy that we won't listen to
anything they have to say. They're all just nut job fundies, after
all. Meanwhile, it doesn't matter if our politicians give a cut of
their bribe money to the donkey or the elephant, they all get in the
same line when the corporations call.
