The American Nightmare!

From childhood we are told that anyone can become anything (The American Dream)–even a president. A majority of the extremely conservative GOP and its blindly obedient followers are creating a social atmosphere that is becoming dangerously volatile. This irresponsible crusade has the capability to further divide this nation and trigger an eruption similar to those of the civil rights moments. This twisted reality that’s reviving social divide, is being orchestrated by a majority of the right wings elected politicians, and journalist with an ulterior motive is to broadcast lies mixed with misinformation. Then there are the billion dollar corporations that fund this turmoil in order to protect their financial interest. This trio provides a demagogy of social economical discord, that controls the minds and lives of some Americans like pawns in a twisted game of chess. An example of these controversial events occurred during the President’s prime time address to Congress concerning health care reform.

During the president’s speech, a little known and insignificant representative of South Carolina did the unimaginable and unprecedented by yelling, “YOU LIE”, during the president’s address. This obnoxious display of disrespect is an example of the growing disregard displayed by right wing extremist. This Senator, Joe Wilson, happens to be a proud member of ‘The Sons of Confederate Veterans’ and one of seven senators that fought for the continued flying of the confederate flag over government buildings. These individuals love to wrap themselves in the American flag, while professing altered versions of the United States Constitution, claiming their beliefs of ‘Country First’. These actions and beliefs are so hypercritical that they read like the pages of our tormented pre-civil rights past. These ugly chapters of this nation’s history are being awakened by a small group of Americans that never fathomed the possibility of a black junior senator with a funny name, actually becoming their Commander and Chief. This landslide victory has galvanized these people with fear. When protesting they provide ridiculous statements like, how they want their freedom and country back, as if Pres. Obama has plans to enslave them because of his breaking into the white house like some thief in the night.

Certain people at rallies, town hall meetings, and manipulative journalist at Fox news seem to share beliefs portrayed by white supremacist. Their behavior is festering like a cancerous sore on the hearts of this nation. Marchers carry signs with the president wearing a small mustache like the one adorned by Hitler or wearing the swastika baring uniform of the German soldier. These are but a few of many assaults launched upon the elected leader of the U.S.A. They have proudly called him a multitude of names such as:Socialist, Communist, liar, anti-Christ, death merchant,terrorist, Muslim, Arab, Stalin, Marx, Castro, illegal alien, and satanist. This list is like the ‘Energizer Rabbit’–it just goes on and on and on.

Pres. Obama is a charismatic and intelligent man– loved worldwide. His inauguration was celebrated in every country but a few. His acceptance by the world is unprecedented, earning him The Nobel Peace Prize. Now if the instigating by irresponsible right wing media and a handful of elected official were to cause he or his family harm from an assassination attempt–may heaven help us! The repercussions would make the riots from the Kennedy and King murders seem like a picnic in the park! This country will implode from violence re-opening a wound that would take a lifetime to heal. This turmoil will ignite fires with the sparks from a few…but they will destroy the lives of many.
