Scrolling through the social media posts about the current, heartbreaking race war prompted me to ask the question: “Who is optimizing this crisis, and why? Who benefits from dividing our nation this way?”
I found this: http://www.dailykos.com/story/2014/12/19/1353048/-Racism-and-Radicalism-Dividing-America
“During Lincoln’s time, racism and slavery were clear dividing issues. Today, with a black man in office, racism, or racial bias, has returned to our political world, or simply become more visible. As Obama said last week, racism is ‘deeply rooted in our society, (and) deeply rooted in our history.’” The author, known as Diligent Bureaucrat (that’s telling), neglects to reveal that it was the Democrats who fomented rampant racism during Lincoln’s time, continuing their hateful ideology through the Civil Rights movement of the 1960s. Now, after decades of exponential normalization of race relations in spite of the regressive Affirmative Action and Welfare programs that perpetuate a victim mentality, Racism is again being used by Democrats as a tool to leverage a rapidly increasing national divide.
The left-leaning story promotes the division by labeling Constitutional principles as radical! “Radicalization of the right wing has played an important role in increasing this divide. The Tea Party and Libertarian movements... have infected the national conversation and mood like a bacterial virus eating away at the delicate solidarity we once had. By embracing an ideology that believes in unrestrained capitalism and self regulation, much of the right wing has all but given up the ideals of social welfare and business regulation that formed the middle class during the twentieth century.” This statement is obvious misdirection. The "delicate solidarity" no doubt refers to the success of mainstream media carrying the water for Democrats for decades before the advent of alternate, web-based Conservative media sources. Having effectively moved the Overton Window so far to the left, with the Socialist policies of Presidents Wilson, Franklin Roosevelt, Johnson and Obama, concepts like Capitalism and Personal Responsibility have become “radical”, while rampant welfare and regulation that transfers political power from We the People to a government Oligarchy is looked upon fondly as the norm of the 20th century.
We are firmly embedded in the 21st century now. The radicalism that has ruled this nation since the turn of the last century has sunk our nation into the depths of political, racial and economic division we suffer today. I wish I could agree with the author that “The Republicans have become the no-compromise party”, refusing to march willingly down the path to Socialism, as do the Democrats. It’s actually the Conservatives who are working diligently to return our nation to Constitutional principles.
The author’s conclusion: “Unless both racism and radicalism are quickly eradicated, it seems our democracy will slowly decay into a sort of plutocratic deformity” is correct. Sadly, the Leftists have garnered too much success using these tools to divide and conquer the populace in order to secure and increase the political capital to push their radical democracy instead of safe-guarding the Constitutional Republic our founders intended.
