In Armando's front paged diary NYC Mayoral Election: The Race Card?, various comments have appeared deploring the Democrats' playing of said "race card". In my opinion, it is this question alone that is the linchpin of what will become of our society, the turning point around which our survival or destruction will turn.

Race is the central question for all of America.

Really.

It ain't just about NYC.

It is the original sin of this country, and until we totally expiate that sin, we will continue to shuffle on off towards Buffalo.

Or Armegeddon.

Whichever comes first.

Race card?

The "race card" MUST be played.

It is the joker in this deck.

The one from which everyone seems to want to avert their eyes.

Eyes wide closed, we stumble through history with a racial ball and chain securely locked to our leg.

Just like in New Orleans.

Just like 9/11.

And elsewhere.

Same tactics.

Let in happen or even PROMOTE its happening; claim ignorance or some other spin, and then...rebuild to your own specs. Why can we not see what is going on here?

Carry on Killing

Now at midnight all the agents, and the superhuman crew,
Come out and round up everyone that knows more than they do - Bob Dylan

Damn the blind eyes of anyone who still can't see after Basra.

How it began:

"Two persons wearing Arab uniforms opened fire at a police station in Basra. A police patrol followed the attackers and captured them to discover they were two British soldiers," an Interior Ministry source told Xinhua. The two soldiers were using a civilian car packed with explosives, the source said.

Kos's front paged diary The Daily Kos Pol starts right out with an interesting observation.

"Few if any of us ever get polled."

True.

Indisputably true.

So...why IS that? Anyone here want to hazard a guess? Any professional pollsters here, anonymously hiding out amidst this pleasant oasis of truth and justice? I would imagine that the majority of the people on this site belong to a demographic that would be pollster HEAVEN. Mostly white, mostly 35-65, mostly college educated, mostly at LEAST middle class. (These are MY impressions, anyway...)

So.,..who DOES get polled by "major" (read "Bought and sold") polling companies?

And why NOT "us"?

On a recent dKos diary called Tenet fights back, lecsmith commented "Anyone who has a tiny vestige of conscience or is at least tired of being scapegoated must come forward and reveal what they know about 9/11 (and every other disaster on Bush's watch)."

Here is my answer. It is discursive, but it is also accurate. On MANY levels.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Do not count on conscience with people who have risen to high positions in the Permanent Government OR in this administration. Both systems require pragmatic thought and action as a prerequisite for success, and it is very rare that anyone in those systems is deep enough to realize that true pragmatism is conscience.

Morality.

Deep enough to see that morality is merely the distillation of thousands of years of experimentation, that those thousands of years of experiments in the laboratory of human society have proven that in the long run the idea of "conscience" is what wins conflicts.

Conscience.

Conflict science.

The science of consciousness.

There have been a number of diaries here saying that this Katrina fiasco is the final straw, the death knell for the Bush administration, and a number more disagreeing. Saying that they will survive this crisis just as they have all the others.

I believe that BushCo is through.

Below...how it will happen.

And why.

A diary appeared today called Bush & the GOP are BABYKILLERS!

I responded.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Bush & the GOP are babykillers?

This is not news.

The NEWS is that it is happening at home and it is appearing in the media.

The policies of these people have killed babies in every Third World country on earth. For well over 40 years.

INCLUDING America. The Third World (read poor) sections thereof. Black, hispanic OR white. They are equal opportunity baby killers, these murderers.

The only difference now is that children are suffering and dying in the streets en masse instead of individually, behind closed doors. In an American city and in such numbers that the media can no longer ignore it. Thus we TOO cannot ignore it. Any longer.

If you oppose these people...in fact, if you are merely an INCONVENIENCE to them...they will kill you.

Pure and simple.

The U.S. - A Paper Tiger

The federal government is now totally dysfunctional.

Crippled by the mediocrity of cronyism and me-first greed, it has reached a state of dysfunction that rivals the U.S.S.R.'s just before things went all to hell there.

Mao Tse Tung had this to say about the U.S. almost 50 years ago. His words were more like prophecy than a statement of fact at the time, but here we are half a century later, and look who owns whose loans now. (Forgive the translation. Maybe there is a better one somewhere else? The message is clear, though.)

"...U.S. imperialism is quite powerful, but in reality it isn't. It is very weak politically because it is divorced from the masses of the people and is disliked by everybody and by the American people too. In appearance it is very powerful but in reality it is nothing to be afraid of, it is a paper tiger. Outwardly a tiger, it is made of paper, unable to withstand the wind and the rain. I believe the United States is nothing but a paper tiger. "

Old man Mao may have been a mass murderer, but if he was, he was certainly one hell of a PERCEPTIVE mass murderer.

Malcolm's chickens done come home to roost.

AGAIN.

They roosted on JFK's ass, on MLK Jr.'s, on Malcolm's and on a whole lot of OTHER asses.

And now they're running the streets of a ruined city.

Rooting and roosting.

Booting and boosting.

"Act of God", indeed.

Betcha those words mean something a WHOLE lot different to bin Laden and HIS boys.

So now "hippie" discussion is a growth industry on dKos? Gotta love this blog.

500 or so comments (so far) and a stint on the rec list for my original ENOUGH hippie bashing, goddamnit!!! diary?

Lestatdalc's diary...the one that originally pissed me off...called The ugly reality of hippies...? (What a nasty little title, by the way!!!)

The revered addison posts a diary called Shrumin' With The Hippies.

Gotta love this blog. Couldn't find a hippie in a carload a week ago. Kos posts an offhand diss, and now the nasty, dirty pests are EVERYWHERE!!!

GOTTA love this blog. The subconscious of leftish America in publicly available, mostly unedited print.

Nice.

Enough.

I was silent when Kos started this shit because the whole "hippie" meme is well in the past and the remnants of that movement are merely an empty shell of what was happening then, plus he wasn't even CONCEIVED at the time, let alone a witness. What would he know?

I remained silent as the piling on started. Makes no difference to me, really. I was there, I saw it. I know damned well what happened.

But then I read lestatdelc's diary Saturday evening. "The ugly reality of hippies..." Where he essentially says that john kerry "had far more impact in swaying people that the Vietnam War was wrong and we needed to get out ASAP than `hippies'...because of his background, because of his demeanor, because of his approach, because of they way he presents."

And that did it for me.
