Things Fall Apart, The Center Does Not Hold

With a week left to the next election, one has to wonder what does the future hold. If history has anything to say about it, Muslims should be very worried that they will be the new Jews of a resurgent Nazis movement. I am indeed talking about the corporate Christian group, The Tea Party. Think back to Nazi Germany circa 1936. Their economy was devastated, their middle class wiped out, they had just been through a brutal war which they lost and helped bankrupt their country. Sound familiar? It should because it's happening right now. Fear got them elected in Germany and the same is working now with the Republicans. Mind you the democrats deserve their fair share of the blame here by being incapable of passing even the simplest of laws when they had a super majority (three to be exact and none were any good). After the Republicans win the House and possible the Senate, all bets are off. Most of the idiots want to do things like privatize social security and eliminate unemployment. If a truly charismatic leader comes out of the woodwork to oppose Obama in 2012, we could be seeing the beginning of the end. God help us all if it turns out to be Sarah Palin which I still see as huge long shot as even Republicans don't trust her in mass. But we stand at the edge right now. Jobs that supported the middle class are gone. I just found out that good paying sales jobs have gone the way of the dodo, just like manufacturing and construction. Most of the jobs pay commission only which is a great way to get around paying for pesky things like a salary or benefits. The rate of pay as a result is less than half of what these same people would have been paid just five years ago. My last job with the newspaper now pays half of I made and get worse results for it. Remember Circuit City dumb asses? Rumors of voting fraud have become rampant, only this time Democrats are getting the edge in places like Nevada, where people say they are voting for Angle but Reid is coming up. Any jerk voting for that lunatic should be lucky that the voting booth isn't electrified to kill anyone this stupid. Do the ruling elites actually not want a nutbag like Angle in office? It's possible. Her insanity may be too hard to control, and she is definitely certifiable. Regardless of dirty politics, Republicans will still win the House and then we get to look forward to two years of gridlock. Unemployment extensions? Not going to pass. Budget problems? Going to have to wait until 2012. Good thing we aren't in the middle of a Depression or anything. Oh wait. We are.
The possible overthrow of the Lebanese government has come full circle with even the Saudis asking the current leader to step down to avoid a civil war. Hezbollah will be the new de facto rulers then, a prospect that cannot thrill Israel. With the nuclear power plant in Iran set to activate in the next two weeks, both the US and Israel seem oddly unfazed. What do they know that we don't?
Unemployment in the US has reached staggering level upwards of 40% in some cities like Detroit. The recession/Depression never really ended. They just said it did to make themselves feel better and to lie again to the American people. Only when jobs come back with good salaries will the depression end. And that'll happen when pigs fly. The middle class is dead. Long live the new serfdom.
