Extracting the Truth

There is a quick way to find out if this Sotomayor woman is indeed a "reverse racist" ( Limbaugh) and that would be to have Dick Cheney waterboard her. Perhaps as a television special, with contestants guessing how long she can hold out! The difficulty I am having personally is this. Because I want to take privileges away from rich people ( black, white and other ) does this make me multi-racist ? Equal opportunity racist?

Most people know me as a very patriotic person, I love my country, that is, the ground. I love the property that is America, the people I can take or leave. That which I own, for which I have title, and for which our forefathers fought and died, that I love. So I was a little perturbed when the two women Jehovahs Witnesses showed up on MY LAND yesterday with their message of eternal redemption. "You're tresspassing" I said. "Yes, but we are not tresspassing against you" they replied and showed me why I can ignore "all the terrible headlines in the paper" by simply concentrating on the NEXT life. I considered the fact that I'm not required to wait for them to trespass against me before I act. I could pre-emptively strike. Perhaps waterboard them.This mission they're on,it's like organizing, you knock on peoples doors and talk to them, only you are not struggling against anything REAL. Actually, it's more like salesmanship and you are selling a magical fairy land and escape from reality. Like drug dealing! I think Jesus would be in the headlines daily!

My fishing client last week wasn't really into fishing. He wanted to spend one day driving around (and drinking) following the route of Lewis and Clark from the headwaters of the Missouri up the Jefferson River. The three branches of the Jefferson were named after the wise Founding Fathers virtues, the Wisdom, the Charity and the Philanthropy. These virtues were reserved for white people of course, ( no reverse-racism here) ,that is , white people with property. Indigenous peoples were annihilated, having more to do with capitalist virtues and property. Since my client was into local history, I made a point of stopping off at the graveyard in Butte, America where Wobbly organizer Frank Little is buried. The largest funeral procession in the history of Butte brought him to his final resting place after he was drug from his hotel room by thugs hired by the capitalist bosses,who then tied him to the back of a car and drug him to the trestle where he was hung with a note stuck to his body warning other organizers. The bosses were worried about their property as well, being good, white , patriots.

Meanwhile the dreaded, elected dictator Hugo Chavez ( that's right Sonia, so was Hitler!) has a different take on property relations, evidenced by his taking (nationalizing) five iron and steel plants and putting them under worker control. The country he loves seems to involve the people who do the work and who he believes should be running it. They will be electing management and opening the books, forming councils and participating at all levels. This is not charitable or philanthropic but it is wise. Compare this to Obamas statements about the peoples share of our new car companies: "We don't want to micro-manage these companies". We see which America Obama loves.
