Dear Editor:
The recent events on the American and world stage have spotlighted the need for the reassessment of our financial stratagem. My recent commentary on the balkanization of our country focused on the tactic of divide and conquer. By splitting the commoners into mutually mistrusting and sometimes hostile camps, the ruling class has effectively neutered all of us, the country class. Well, not exactly! Im sure you all have heard the plaintive bleating of our leaders in Washington. And both elephants and burros can bleat loudly. What are they complaining about?
The new terrorists the Tea Partiers!
Its strange that the politically correct Brahmans in Washington and other centers of intellectual sophistry cannot bring themselves to call the Islamic explosive-vest homicide bombers terrorists but find it acceptable to call Tea Party citizens terrorists.
Lets take a look at what the pundits see as similarities:
Terrorists want to destroy Western civilization and replace it with Third World dress and Sharia Law. Tea Partiers want to uphold our Constitution and reduce our over-bloated government.
Terrorists see America as the Great Satan that plunders and exploits the worlds resources. Tea Partiers recognize our membership in the world community and realize how much we contribute to the needy and the disaster-stricken.
Terrorists have no compassion for those unlike themselves. Tea Partiers are generous and volunteer time and resources to their communities.
So far I am confused about what they see in us that relates to terrorism, but wait, I just had a Satori! We dont agree with their vision for America!
Thats enough to give them license to destroy us. The ruling class is on every available television station vomiting their propaganda Just remember these talking heads dont investigate, they just repeat the ruling classs talking points.
