Just last night while watching the news, Ron and I were reacting to the false arguments being presented as coming from "the extreme right and the extreme left." WHAT EXTREME LEFT we asked?!
Anyone who looks deeply will know that Obama is no liberal, that he is often to the right of Reagan and even Nixon, and that - with few exceptions - the Democratic Party is now a right wing party. It also clearly exposes the shadow within American politics that the Republican Party of Eisenhower - which my grandfather (who taught Eisenhower at West Point) was part of for his lifetime - has swung so violently to the right as to render it dead.
The article found here - http://truth-out.org/opinion/item/13567-there-is-no-american-left - gives a glimpse into this new reality. And it illuminates the truth that real and urgently needed revolution will begin with the evolution within each and every one of us. May we awaken Now!
*********************
From this article: "On every other issue, America - or at least American politics - has swung violently to the right. The more social class is involved, the further to the right America has swung. Poverty was once a social disease to be cured; it is now an individual crime to be punished. Put it down to individualism, conservatism, neoliberalism, or whatever -ism you want, America is now the world's greatest reactionary force."
