My name is Craig and I live in Iowa. I have been a 'lurker' on Daily Kos for
several years now, but this is the first time that I have been compelled to write
a diary.
I have been following the events in Wisconsin, Michigan, Ohio, Florida and
other states very closely over the past few weeks and would like to make a
brief comment concerning the Wisconsin Senate's pending action to separate
the Collective Bargaining issue from the budget bill and pass it independently
with a simple majority in which the Senate's most vulnerable Republican's will
most likely 'abstain' so that they have the 'political cover' to 'defend' themselves
in the pending recalls.
I want everyone on Daily Kos to know that this may, temporarily end the
issue of the Collective Bargaining measure (at least until this summer when
we can recall all eight Senator's and have a veto proof majority in the Senate).
This action, by 'His Royal Highnass' Scott Walker and his minions is actually
a 'blessing in disguise.' I say this for two reasons:
First of all, they, themselves--in the unholy quest for 'absolute power that
corrupts absolutely' are actually the exposing the Original Lie that the ending
Collective Bargaining was necessary to 'balance the budget.' (This is on top
of an admission by one of the Senator's today that this attempt was a naked
political machination to destroy the traditional financial base of the Democratic
Party and to hopefully prevent President Obama from winning Wisconsin in the
2012 elections).
Secondly--by removing this issue from the 'public arena', they have, unwittingly,
provided the Democrats in Illinois a politically defensible reason to stay exactly
where they are, as long as it takes, to defeat these 'political parasites who
would prey on the good and decent people of Wisconsin.
The debate can now be refocused on the extreme budgetary measures which
are important to EVERY citizen of Wisconsin(not just the Union worker's)
....especially the 'no bid' provisions to sell off public assets to the Koch Brother's
and Alliant Energy(they are so overconfident of their ability to achieve this economic and political coup that they have been publically advertising for weeks for 'plant manager postions' all over the state of Wisconsin); we can also focus in Walker's stripping of important environmental regulations (and the arbitrary termination of alternative energy investments already made by previous administrations) so the
Koch brother's can develop the oil 'tar sands' that exist in and around the Great
Lakes area (why do you think their efforts are primarily located in Michigan, Ohio, Indiana...etc) They want unfettered access to these areas so that they
can inflict and utter devastation upon the beautiful landscapes of Wisconsin
and surrounding states...even to the point of degrading the Great Lakes them-
selves (why do you think the Republican's in Congress eliminated the funding
for Great Lakes Restoration....why spend the money to restore these areas when
they are just going to gang-raped and plundered the Koch Brother's and their
corporate buddies).
I could go on and on, and--if I get a lot of positive encouragement and
feedback I will be happy to use my intellect and creative abilities to continue
to contribute to the ongoing drama of this attempted coup against all of the
principles and ideals that this country was founded upon...
In the meantime I wish you all good will and all the love and support you
have earned from myself and other like-minded, kind-hearted and compassionate
people who are becoming active, integral participants in the Wave of Love
and Light that will soon wash over our Great Land and will enable us to consciously
create the type of progressive, "New Testament,' and yes, LIBERAL society which
is based upon the idea that EVERYONE is 'created in the Image of A God Whose
name is Love, a society that recognizes and embraces and celebrates the "Royal
Personhood', the 'Cosmic Christ' that lives and now seeks to be expressed through
every human heart, HERE AND NOW!
It is time for all of us, individually and collectively, to take up the "Sword of
Truth,' to become Warriors of the Heart who dare to expose the lies and the
darkness of those who would rule over us...so that they, too, may ultimately
learn to heal the wounds of the Separation that divide them from their human
brother's and sister's and to thus to become conscious, full integrated participants
in the New Heaven and New Earth that is now emerging from the darkness
of our evolutionary chrysalis.
They are not, as Jesus would remind us if he were physically present among
us, 'our enemies'...no matter how lost and misguided and removed they may be
from the Spirit of Love and Life that connects all peoples and yes, all Creation.
It is my sincere prayer that some of these would be 'Power Broker's' will read this post and allow the Spirit of my words to enter their hearts and maybe, just maybe,
begin the process through which they begin to realign themselves with the Spirit
and Body of Humanity and this Living Earth.
Thank you for your time and attention. God Bless You All, especially the
Wisconsin 14 whose courage and integrity have enabled this moment of
potential transformation to occur!
