Make no mistake, the United States is headed for Armageddon. In the near future there will be a conflict between the two dominant factions in this country that will make the War of Northern Aggression look like child's play. The two sides are jockeying for advantage.
One side is lead by the democrats and represents the people who have been forgotten by society, who by a lack of wit, intellect, motivation, and or good judgement have fallen into the cavernous cracks of a larger community that rewards hard work and innovation.
Some of the skills which are rewarded richly are: throwing a baseball faster and more accurately than others, running faster, driving faster on a professional course, looking exquisitely beautiful even after a good nights sleep and awakening with fresh breath, writing cleverly, climbing out of the pond scum that is politics, hitting a golf ball further and more accurately than your peers, acting, saying funny things for a living, any surgical field, especially plastics, inventors of novel devices, titans of manufacturing, travel, bankers and traders on Wall Street, drug cartels, and high religious leaders of the established religions.
The great wash of people can not aspire to riches via "talent on loan from God", to steal a phrase. They are the average and most find a niche in which to earn a living. Truck drivers, carpenters, plumbers, electricians, loggers, teachers, farmers, factory workers, lawyers, physicians, airline pilots, all make a good living but will never break into the super rich unless very, very lucky.
This leaves the minimum wage American behind. The person who chose drugs and alcohol use over education. The numbnuts who kept the pushers flush with cash while in high school when they should have been learning the multiplication tables. These people grow up to inhabit the world of the petty criminal, where they either sell drugs, steal for a living, or go on welfare with the current old lady. It is a hard life. Tattoos are not free!
John Edwards was right, not only is it more fun to sleep with good looking women, there are two Americas. The war is being waged against the productive in our society which is represented by the Tea Party. This war is being whipped up by Barack Obama who is cheering his vast army of down and out losers of life's lottery in America to resent and hate the successful in America, and label those successful people as somehow greedy and wicked.
The last person who seriously tried to cause a violent schism in America was a man named Charlie Manson, and his plan was "Helter Skelter."
How is Barack Obama any different from Mr. Manson? He is calling for violence against the top 1% wage earners in this country, who pay 40% of the federal income taxes on only 22% of the income.
This might be a good time to review the evolution of war. In the beginning Cain killed Abel because he believed God liked him more. As man evolved war was devised as a process designed to "kill the other guy and take all his stuff." There have been variations throughout the years, but mostly it is for personal gain or it is a lie.
A look at our most recent forays into Iraq and Afghanistan will bear out the kill and take the stuff rule because keeping that Oil rich region in pandemonium is to our advantage or our leaderships advantage.
We are taught in school the Civil War in America was fought to free the slaves, but most in the South know it was undertaken for financial reasons. In 1861 there were more millionaires in the state of Mississippi than in New York. Cotton plantations were money makers... and these people in the South traded with England over the newly industrialized north which was producing an inferior product. The balance of trade was not favoring the highly populated North and this could not stand! As Mark Twain is famously quoted: "No man can stand success, anothers that is."
A fight broke out and because they could not say in polite company they wanted to break the South and take all its stuff, they thought freeing the slaves would be a cause everyone could understand and agree with when the history books were written. It worked. They broke the South and pillaged its resources, and the DuPonts swept down and bought up the Carolinas and every limp dick Yankee from Illinois to Maine came down South to seek his fortune off the backs of a defeated people.
Pause here to play and sing along to "Dixie."
But now this next Civil War will not be fought regionally, it has been set up to be the "Withs Vs the Withouts" and will make the North V South look like child's play. As with any war fortunes will be made and fortunes will be lost. I hope to go up North after the War and buy Mr. DuPont out.
Time will tell.
