What’s
New?

There are anti-Government
groups and individuals who believe the worst rumors, gossip, and outright lies
about the President of the United States
and his policies. Such beliefs reflect the
growing divide in the United States in this 21st Century between
Democrats and Republicans (the ”Left” and the “Right”), the rich and the poor; and
the rich and the middle class. The disparity between the rich and the middle
class has increased the most: the richest Americans
(90th percentile), went from making a median of $85,800 in 1967 to
$138,900 in 2010– a 62 percent increase.
Median income households went from $40,800 in 1967 to $49,400, just a 21
percent increase! The middle class is hurting!
What’s new is really old:
the racial divide. When the White woman at the town hall meeting in 2011 said,
“I want my Country back!”, she was making in essence the charge leveled in the
trial of the Scottsboro Boys in 1931: a Black man took it from me! Does “race” make “compromise” more difficult,
or does race and compromise become words to avoid if you are trying to force people
to accept your anti-Government views?
Under the anti-Government
agenda, there is no room for compromise because in their view, they are right
and all others are wrong. People in the
T-Party are urging their elected members in the Congress to shut down the Government unless the
Government agrees to their demand to defund the Affordable Health Care Act, a
new law designed to help the poor and the middle class.

SURELY NOT because the T-Party
members have a higher goal: they want their country back! Damn the cost! In the meantime, many anti-Government advocates are
circulating petitions to secede from
the U. S. A. The T-Party is taking the
Republican Party back to the 1948 South and the States Rights Dixiecrats!
