It is Their Right, it is Their Duty, to Throw Off Such Government

[Daveparts]

What then is the answer? If we pledge allegenice to the flag a flag that refuses to pledge allegiance to the people. To be condemned for even thinking such ideas let alone advocating them. The recent Congressional elections illustrate to a fine point the loss of representative government in this country. Given the choice of reactionary government or less reactionary government the people clearly chose the less reactionary but once elected the victors vanished like phantoms in the mist.

Open act one of the political soap opera Dazed In Our Lies, Millionaire Pelosi announces Impeachment is of the table after meeting with Millionaire Bush. Take the Pepsi challenge, which do you like better? A. is Pepsi and B. is Pepsi too! Want to get a starring role in our soap opera of sycophantic silliness follow the script! A non binding resolution ah yes that will do the trick they’ll see the iron in our words by the strength of our position papers. Do you want to be relegated to a small part? An extra or a walk on? Just suggest real change and watch what happens!

Postulating promises of peace by the purveyors of war are but shadow puppets a Punch and Judy show to manipulate the masses while behind closed doors the less reactionary conspire with the avowed reactionary to steal that, which is not theirs! A conspiracy of silence what they don’t know won’t hurt them they assume. The stage is set the script written a titanic struggle between Congress and the President, the struggle to convince you this is all on the up and up and not just melodrama.

Our President pretender proclaims to the fawning minions in his State of the Union distress, “Our economy is strong but we face challenges” yes and Custer had to face a few Indians as well. Two million homes are in or will be in foreclosure before the end of the calendar year and what does Millionaire Bush say about that? And I quote, “ ”
And what does Millionaire Pelosi have to say? And I quote, “ ” Chris Dodd millionaire Chairman of the Senate banking committee proclaimed this a crisis of the first magnitude but then when the stock market recovered from it’s 416 point drop he backed away from the remarks.

It was almost as if his concern was for his own financial well being and once assured his assets were safe it wasn’t a crises after all merely a false alarm go back to sleep. With an average of four residents per foreclosed home would amount to eight million Americans out in the street hurricane Katrina didn’t cause even a million to be displaced. Think of it a city the size of Chicago or New York depopulated and the leadership of the nation says, “ ” A population of the United States greater than the individual population in the majority of states in this union is going to lose their homes and it is greeted by silence in both parties. A disaster that doesn’t require the National Guard to be rectified only the stroke of pen on paper as was done during the last great depression.

Are you catching on? Or as Truman said, “How long have you’ve got to be hit in the head before you figure out who’s hitting you.” There is no party of the people anymore no counter balance an electrical current with only positive and neutral. Democrats voted along with Republicans for the draconian bankruptcy bill with Millionaire candidate Biden leading the charge!

The President proposes a Tuskegee style experiment with the entire American population as guinea pigs allowing Mexicans truckers to travel the highways of all continental states.He assures us they will follow the same rules as American truckers but like Tuskegee he forgets to tell you American truckers must now compete with Mexican wages. This program is open American trucking companies as well they can sign up to drive in Mexico but none have they know they can’t compete with Mexican wages. But the Mexican companies can put two drivers in a truck and keep it running twenty-four seven that’s called productivity!

Now say one of these drivers’ causes an accident an God forbid kills someone what happens then? Well that’s what experiments are for isn’t it? Did the Democrats threaten to defund the department of transportation? Not a word not a peep out of them not in the United States of Greed. Isolated insulated insolate and insulting the government no longer even has a semblance of representing the people as far as they’re concerned we are a plantation full of affable darkies.

Let’s be realistic here, could quiet protest have unseated the Nazi’s or Stalin? Did peaceful protest change matters in China? Were that we could resurrect Martin Luther King or Robert Kennedy wouldn’t they just murder them again? We have got to stop playing hardball with a wiffle ball bat they only thing they respect is force they only thing they love is money. The only thing that will stop them is the fear of force costing them money!

Read your forbidden history of Eugene V Debs of the Haymarket square massacre of the shootings at the Ford River Rouge plant in Flint of Hoover turning the Army on the bonus marchers. Are you afraid to fight? History proves that the government is not they would shoot you down like a dog. Then why? You ask because you have no choice in the matter they are picking you off from the clock tower with a sniper rifle your choice is to charge the tower or wait your turn.

“I am not a Labor Leader; I do not want you to follow me or anyone else; if you are looking for a Moses to lead you out of this capitalist wilderness, you will stay right where you are. I would not lead you into the promised land if I could, because if I led you in, some one else would lead you out. You must use your heads as well as your hands, and get yourself out of your present condition.”

Eugene V. Debs
