Republican Sleeper Cells
The Republican party is full of tricksters. They let the likes of Sarah Palin and Donald Trump push their irrational, racist, xenophobic opinions into the political atmosphere to not only gauge the opinions of their constituents but to stir controversy without directly dirtying their hands. And it’s working. Those more outrageous figures, like Glenn Beck, Rush Limbaugh, Donald Trump, and Sarah Palin get to take up countless hours of airtime building outrageous allegation after the next again President Obama and when presented with the facts, dismiss them.
Interestingly enough, these individuals who are both unable and unwilling to comprehend their own racist motives can’t see the sheer idiocy of their claims. How in this society would a black man be able to fake his place of birth and an entire state, and millions across the nation to go along with it? What person of color could garner such support? Better yet, how is it Donald Trump’s approval rating, as basic citizens are getting these now, has jumped seven points in the past week? We blame the brother for the nations financial crisis, for rescuing the banks, for not steadying the job market, yet Trump, a multi-billionaire can participate in politics without question? Is he the same as some everyday citizen?
I’ve been waiting for the day to come where a news reporter on her last week of employment or just up to her neck actually hangs up on Trump on the air. I’ve been waiting for the Freedom of Speech stature in America to run it’s course. Better yet, I’ve been waiting for Obama to sue someone’s ass for libel and keep it moving.
Interesting. I hear a rebel with no cause. While eloquently stated, your position lacks an understanding of national and global affairs. No one person, in and of themselves are powerful. Not Glenn Beck, Trump, or Palin. Much like the oak or maple tree, it is the extensive root system below the surface that makes the tree grandiose. Thank you Captain Obvious, for sharing insignificant rhetoric… from an insignificant.

Hey. If i didn’t write this really stupid and “obvious” blog your dumbass maple tree metaphor would have gone to waste. Glad we could help one another out.

I am completely shocked that anonymous, when confronted with an actual well articulated response, reverts to name calling. Donald Trump can run for president, not because he is better than the average person, but because he is a wildly successful businessman who understands economic policy. I won’t vote for him, but he probably has better credentials than most politicians.

@YaDatsWazzUp. If you read the comments again, you will see that I did not name call. In fact, the commenter did. He also did very little to engage anything I said other than call me “obvious.” I’m actually not sure what kind of response would suffice but I certainly don’t think the commenter said anything eloquent.
I was not making the argument that Trump could run because he was better than anyone and am very aware of what impact wealth may have on his ability to get airtime. My point remains. And it is very simple and “obvious.” The Republican party benefits from the vitriolic statements of their supporters and they can often stir the pot from afar with eager detachment.
As for the comments by Modus, I’m well aware that everything happening has a root cause. This was not the point of my post. I was not setting out to educate anyone on the origins of political mudslinging, nor was I interested in fleshing out party politics. My only intention was to say, in an articulate way, how I felt. Obviously, I wasn’t trying to expose some clandestine political plot. And modus, I would beg to differ on your comments about individuals. I think individuals, particularly white ones, can be very powerful and while there are larger mechanisms at play that give them a stage, it ain’t the same as if me, you, and “YaDatsWazzUp” (ha!) got up to speak.
A word of advice. The next time you actually want to have a discussion about something I write maybe it would be better to not start your comments by loosely insulting me and I may extend the same courtesy to you. This idea you have that I will let you sloppily critique me because I authored the piece is an incorrect one. I will not prostrate myself to you because I seek your continued investment in my writing. Now, that’s wazz up.
