Sea Change Afoot?

So are we on the verge of a sea change in American politics? I ask this in all seriousness. Given the utter disarray of the current Republican Party nomination process and the sorry field of canidates, will they realize after losing the next election cycle that going to the right of Gingus Khan is no way to win an election? To me, any good ideas they may have on the economy, foreign policy, healthcare or other pressing issues (I'm not saying they have any but if they did) is drowned out by constant pandering to so called "Christians". Gay people are not our problem. I'll decide what family values are for myself, thank you very much. Religion is not under attack, though it should be for some of the lunacy that people are lead to believe in. See "chosen people" for example. As a practicing agnostic, I find the idea of a god / supreme being taking sides in wars, picking one faith over another or one jock over another utterly repulsive. Yet, the current leadership of the Republican Party thinks this is the way to go. Even people who don't believe this bullshit have to pretend they do. That means you, Mittens! Mormon my big black ass, this clown believes in only one thing, money. There's something causing this shift ever rightward, the Democrats.

The Democrats have appearantly decided the only way to defeat your enemy is to become your enemy. Obama is so far right, he's pushed the Republicans so far right they are falling off a cliff. He's pretty much followed in the steps of George W. and the Cheney Administration. Black sites, drones, new wars bank bailouts and so on and on and on and on. Even the democrats have to pander to the religious wackos. Just try running as an agnostic or dare I say athiest and see what happens. Both parties have completely sold us out for money but change is in the air.

Everyone with three or more functioning brain cells knows our election cycle is a farce. The same group wins every time, the . 1 percent. But this cannot go on forever. As more and more people are enslaved around the world in crushing poverty via capitalsm and neo-liberalism unrest grows exponentially. Sooner or later the myths will stop working and look out world, the wars of the twentyth century will be the good ole days. But unlike religious fanitics of all stripes, I think we have a choice.

Here's how you do it Republicans. Learn how to conserve. Bring back the notion of personal responsibility for all, especially business. Put defense back in the Defense Department. Conserve our strength by pulling out of on going unwinable wars. Conserve our cash by not forever giving it to wreckless business blowhards and while blaming our woes on the poor. And please stop the war on intelligence. Being a dumbass in not a virtue.
