American Legend

Hillary Clinton’s Dishonest, Empty Acceptance Speech

Hillary Clinton’s dishonest, empty acceptance speech - World Socialist Web Site

"The Democratic Party convention, like the Republican, was a spectacle of reaction. It married the politics of race and gender with militarism and nationalism. Neither party has anything to offer the mass of the population but inequality, authoritarianism and war."

The Party Of The Zombie Apocalypse

After the tumultuous Democratic convention of 1968, and Hubert Humphrey's decisive electoral loss to Richard Nixon the following November, Party leaders convened in order to try to pick up the pieces. George McGovern is remembered to have remarked, "When parties have been given the choice of reform or death in the past, they have always chosen death. We are going to be the first to live."

I assume that he was suggesting that the Party would choose to reform. The fact that his own Presidential bid in 1972 was undermined by establishment figures such as Hubert Humphrey, Richard Daley, and George Meany, however, suggests that his words might, in retrospect, be interpreted differently.

The Democratic Party chose to live alright, but only by reinventing itself in the early 1990's under Bill Clinton as Republican-Lite. One could call that "reform," but I would call it "living death."

The choice to reform or die has been presented to the Democratic Party establishment once again in 2012 and, once again, the Party has chosen to live while resisting meaningful reform--even nominating Hillary Clinton (a co-architect with her husband Bill of the "living death" Party) for President.

The Democratic Party is proof that the Zombie Apocalypse is real.

"Lesser Evilism" Is A Form Of Political Cowardice

A better world is not something handed down from on high; it is seized upon from below with both hands by those who have the courage and the imagination to do so.

"Choice"

As defined by the American political system:



Every four years, the Democratic Party and the Republican Party welcome the American electorate into the voting booth and say, "Pick your poison." Refusing that choice is a time-honored (and often very effective) form of political action called a "boycott."

World War III

The author of this book is a military historian and tends to be somewhat flat-footed when dealing with questions of religion and culture, but since the issues that continue to propel World War III forward are not fundamentally religious or cultural, such criticism is secondary. Hear him on just one of the reasons for this war of perpetuity:

"...some individuals and institutions actually benefit from an armed conflict that drags on and on. Those benefits are immediate and tangible. They come in the form of profits, jobs, and campaign contributions. For the military-industrial complex and its beneficiaries, perpetual war is not necessarily bad news. The alacrity with which the national security apparatus 'discovered' the Greater Middle East just as the Cold War was ending does not qualify as coincidental." [page 369, emphasis added].

Good News, Bad News

According to the latest polling data (not just one poll), the good news is that Donald Trump does not have the votes to win a national election. The bad news is that Hillary Clinton does. The photo below is a picture of your house. Have a nice day!
