The State of "United" America...

While I disagree with Mr. King's conclusion that the common denominator between the modern day dixiecrats and the dixiecrats of old is "government" [the destruction of] and not race", I am otherwise impressed and mostly agree with what he has penned here.

I am wondering when the rest of us are going to take our heads out of the sand, or unspeakable body parts, and begin to vociferously condemn what we know is really happening here? There is an angry WHITE fringe, sure to become a mob, and they will stop at nothing to get that BLACK guy out of THEIR WHITE house and do whatever is necessary to take THEIR country back, even if that means destroying OUR nation! I am guessing that the shut down is just child's play in their grand scheme of mass destruction... What is their ultimate goal, to honor the will of their warped and defeated  ancestors and secede the south or is it more bodacious this time and they now wish to "take back" the entire country? These folks are crazy and scary...

No thinking and intuitive person can deny that the teabaggers are fueled by a common denominator of hate and some longing for a return to the past. What does that mean? Should I start collecting an assortment of bandannas and learn to wear them on my head, start learning to deny my education and therefore my worldliness, and where should I sign up to take lessons to learn how to "shuck and jive" and be humble to White folks? And does that include my White Friends? I'm Just Wonderin'...

I am being facetious but facetiously serious...  Where does this all end and WHEN does the SANE MAJORITY in America; my good White Friends and yours, politically correct and polite politicians of every hue and certainly decent republicans who should cringe at even the suggestion of alignment with this crazed fringe, get angry too and start calling this nonsense out for what it is?

There is a cancer amongst us and we seem to think it will magically run its course or simply go away if we just ignore it. Newsflash! That is not how it works. These fools will stop at nothing! Shutting down the government is only the first of celebrations for this little engine that thinks it can. I am sure that this fait accompli, shutting down the US government, is only the first sip of tea to fuel their engine and thrust them into overdrive "we know we can" mode as the rest of us sit silently by to afraid, or perhaps to embarrassed, to acknowledge that our ills of the past are far from cured. uncle jim [crow] is alive and thriving as we, the SANE MAJORITY, sit idly by allowing an identified cancer in our society to metastasize and infect other parts of our population. Who does that?

And what of the foolish non-White cheerleaders who lead the charge for this group, the ted cruz', the marco rubios, the michelle malkins and of course the uncle clarence thomases and aunt condi's? Where do they think they fit in the master plan of these angry destructionists? I think Derek Bell in his book, Faces at the Bottom of the Well, has already answered this question for us, read the book if you are unfamiliar with his work. And getting back to  the non-White teabaggers, WHO, just WHO, said education makes us smarter?

So really folks, what are we waiting for? Another Martin Luther King or Harriet Beecher Stowe to shame our nation into confronting our ills? I'm Just Wonderin'...  Certainly our collective silence serves only to make us at least complicit in, if not supportive of, our own demise as a nation, as a people...  What did Gandhi and now President Obama say? We are the change we are waiting for...
