It occurred to me earlier that I may have been a bit presumptuous before when I stated that conservatives are of two camps only: the rich and crooked or the poor and dumb. The best way to learn is to communicate, and so I decided to ask this.
What exactly is your personal reason for thinking that your political perspective is acceptable? Are you just old and set in the value system of a different time? Were you deprived of an adequate, high quality education? Are you apathetic to human suffering? Or do you honestly believe that right wing concepts and structures like white supremacy, sexism and the Patriarchy, patriotism/nationalism, economic slavery, and capitalism are okay? Maybe it's bigotry against marginalized groups like women and the poor? Or simple sadism? What is it, exactly, that drives you to your beliefs?
What is your reason for being anything other than an American for America? Why do you want to play the division game? What's so important about political labels? Do political labels make one person better than another person? If so, how? Do you realize that what gives "The Washington Brotherhood" power is a divided public? As long as "The Washington Brotherhood" can keep us divided and fighting among ourselves, they WIN, we lose. Do you know that the biggest fear of "The Washington Brotherhood" is a UNITED citizenry?
Do you realize that the only differences between a Republican, a Democrat, an Independent, a Liberal, a Conservative, a Right Wing, and a Left Wing, are the same as sixth graders arguing over who's bike is faster, who's dog can beat up the other's dog, who has the prettiest marbles, who's dad can beat up the other dads, which one can jump higher or run faster, which one has the prettiest sister, which mom makes the best cookies, and which one has the smartest brother? That's it, in total. It's all just people preferring one side over the other akin to one person likes Fords and one person likes Chevys. One person likes apple pie and another likes cherry pie.
To prove the point out to yourself, just think of all the professional politicians that have served in government over the past half century or so, look at where we were in the 50's and 60's, then look at where we are today. What do you see? What happened? We've had a mixture in charge of running the government the whole time, through different administrations, both Republican and Democrat, and yet, we've been steadily sliding backwards the whole time. Right now, we're not too far from being a third world economy. Right now, we're very close to being governed by a dictatorship, or something akin to one.
All of this talk about one party or the other, or blaming Liberals, or blaming Conservatives, or blaming the right, or blaming the left, is the same as I mentioned above about sixth graders arguing whether one dad can beat up all the other dads. It bears NO fruit. It's destroying what's left of this once great nation. It's destructive division that keeps us from addressing and solving our problems as one nation, one people, and with one cause. We have a tremendous battle ahead of us, one that will require unity and common ground. We have future generations of Americans to think about. We have serious issues that a divided citizenry can never solve. We have a power and authority in place that has no intentions to make this a better America, a better place for future generations, or to restore the respect that took over two centuries to build.
Our government, "The Washington Brotherhood", has grown into a monster, one that is self-serving, filled with egotists and power hungry puppets, hell-bent on the further destruction of a once prosperous and proud nation. They have evolved into an entity unto themselves, answerable to no one except themselves. And, their power comes from a divided citizenry.
