(M)an: Dude! Hillary
Clinton’s proposals parallel the New Deal proposals by Franklin Delano
Roosevelt. Interestingly, did you know that the wealthy and filthy rich then
opposed the New Deal? In fact, the Supreme Court of the United States during
FDR’s time in the White House ruled one of the most progressive measures of the
Roosevelt Administration, the National Recovery Administration or NRA,
unconstitutional in 1935 on the grounds that it violated the separation of
powers under the United States Constitution.
(D)ude: Man! The
wealthy and the filthy rich actually flaunted their wealth and excess during
the Great Depression. It was like what is happening today via the reality television
shows that follow the wealthy and filthy rich. There is a concerted effort by
the status quo like Donald Trump and the Republican Party to overlook the brutality
of poverty and the phenomena of the working poor and the death of the middle
class in the United States of America.
M: Dude! It is
no surprise that the Republican Party has chosen a smoke and mirrors neoconservative
like themselves that is Donald Trump to run as their presidential nominee.
Donald Trump is a loudmouth hustler and the Republican Party is comprised of miscalculating
plunderers. Like the wealthy and the filthy rich today, Donald Trump and the
Republican Party are cutthroat neoconservative new money.
D: Man! New
money?
M: Dude! Hold
on. Franklin Delano Roosevelt was old money. That’s why he had the knowhow to
navigate his presidency for the good of the country as a whole, which meant mercy
and relief for the disenfranchised. He had no self-interests and respected the
power bestowed upon him for four terms, or sixteen years, as the president of
the United States.
D: Man! What
became of the old money?
M: Dude! They
were displaced by characterless loudmouth hustlers and miscalculating plunderers.
Characterlessness was a virtue for folks like Richard Nixon and Ronald Reagan. They
used this trait to create the threats of communism and terrorism all over the
world.
D: Man! Really?
M: Dude! Yes,
Richard Nixon and Ronald Reagan, with their “divide and conquer” leadership
style, created hells on earth for a lot of Americans. And, although Nixon and
Reagan are gone, their redneck “divide and conquer” staffers are still around
and waiting to take US through more chaotic hells. They are Donald Rumsfeld,
Dick Cheney, George Romney’s son Mitt Romney, John Trump’s son Donald Trump, George
Herbert Walker Bush’s progeny Jeb and George Prescott Bush, and Peggy Noonan.
D: Man! How did
they create the threats of communism and terrorism all over the world?
M: Dude! With
their redneck “divide and conquer” mentality. Peggy Noonan refers to it often
in the Wall Street Journal where she clearly frowns upon globalization.
D: Man! How did
the redneck “divide and conquer” mentality mix with anti-globalization to unearth
communism then and terrorism now all around the world?
M: Dude! Communism
then claimed by the United States of America involved our Cold War strife with the
Soviet Union. The strife was so intense on our end of this so-called Cold War,
that when the Soviet Army allied with Afghan forces from the Democratic
Republic of Afghanistan, the United States armed insurgents, or the Mujahedeen,
that were seen as a pathway to the fall of the Soviet Union and US finally being
able to consider ourselves victors of that Cold War. That period of time, from
December 24, 1979 to February 15, 1989, saw US [particularly via the CIA] and
our allies [including Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, Iran, Egypt, People’s Republic of
China, and Britain] providing artillery to the Mujahedeen, or insurgents, which
led to the mass scale terrorism of today.
D: Man! Why was
Russia involved with the Democratic Republic of Afghanistan? What led to the Soviet
Army allying with Afghan forces?
M: Dude! The
Democratic Republic of Afghanistan was wanting to contain the insurgents, or
Mujahedeen, with assistance from its staunch ally the Soviet Union.
D: Man! Why was
the United States so eager to perpetuate that very insurgency that the Soviet
and Afghan forces wanted contained?
M: Dude! The
Soviet and Afghan forces would probably have been successful in containing the insurgents,
or Mujahedeen, if the United States hadn’t overseen the deliberated arms deals with
the Mujahedeen in its Cold War fever that the Reagan Administration desperately
wanted to break. Like Germany after World War I, Afghanistan was abandoned by
US and the Soviets after the Soviet-Afghan War. The Afghan forces that had
allied with the Soviet forces were left without a sound strategy out of the
entanglements with the Mujahedeen, heavily financed by the United States of
America.
D: Man! So you
got Adolf Hitler and the rise of nationalism in Germany after the First World
War. But what equivalent would you say spread in Afghanistan after its
abandonment following the Soviet-Afghan War? Osama bin Laden?
M: Dude! After
the Soviet-Afghan War, the United States continued to assist with the education
of the descendants of that war for generations to come. The schools were called
madrasas and were run by Islamist sentimentalists who basically brainwashed entire
generations of children and adolescents into agents of terrorism.
D: Man! Why did
not the United States of America oversee the educating of the children and
adolescents in these madrasas?
M: Dude! We
cannot overturn regimes and arm opponents in disputes we don’t know enough
about in the first place. We have run out of land on Planet Earth. No longer
would Abraham and his descendants be advised by God to leave their place of
dispute for far off lands not inhabited yet and destined to be their
descendants’ to inhabit and make nations of in the future.
D: Man! But why did not the United States oversee the education of these children and adolescents being taught with American taxpayer money in those madrasas?
M: Dude! The
only way to bringing an end to these tragedies is for US to elect Hillary Clinton
as our next president. “Divide and conquer” is more like “devastate and plunder”
with Jeb Bush and George Prescott Bush and their instruments Donald Trump and
Mike Pence. These four guys constituting the Executive Branch and then
assigning neoconservatives onto the Supreme Court of the United States with a
Republican Majority in the House of Representatives and the Senate will be
death for American Democracy and the working poor who Hillary Clinton alone is willing
to engage with for the purpose of restoring the American Middle Class, the only
real way to boosting our stagnant consumer economy and continuing smart power
diplomacy instead of mass boots on the ground of our sons and daughters in
uniform. Warfare has changed, but Donald Trump and the Republican Party are stuck
in the World Wars time warp where there are situations on the ground reminiscent
of Ernest Hemingway’s A Farewell to Arms or
Dalton Trumbo’s Johnny Got His Gun.
D: Man! Where is
Ronald Lawrence “Ron” Kovic? Where is Bruce Springsteen?
M: Dude! Oh
mama mama mama come quick
I've got the shakes and I'm gonna be sick
Throw your arms around me in the cold
dark night
Hey now mama don't shut out the light...
