Just a good American Citizen getting rid of some "evil" people …
Another deadly and politically motivated shooting in the US by a right wing "person". I am trying to avoid the usual expression "right wing nut", because it makes the murderer seem like "just a crazy person", who would have killed no matter what was his political affiliation.
But exactly the opposite is true!
Like the murder of a doctor George Tiller who performed highly controversial abortions and many other attacks motivated by racism, anti-semitism and religious reasons it is right-wing-hate has driven these killers.
Brainwashing for the Sheep
For decades right-wing-propagandists like Rush Limbaugh, O’Reilly and "religious" leaders like Pat Robertson have used hate and extreme prejudice to drive their agenda. As masterful speakers they often used bloody and hateful attacks on their foes.
Lesser creatures in this pandemonium of so called protectors or "Life" and "Family Values" had no problem to call for the death of political opponents like the killed abortion doctor or foreign heads of state.
For example Dr. Tiller was shot in Church while praying.
So those "right-wing-nuts" have not been simply crazy people doing terrible things (therefore the right-wing could wash it’s hand in innocence), BUT it was the hate speech, the religious dogmas and disconnect from reality that drove them to do such insane stuff and call it "justice".
I only preach the word of the Lord …
Just like Timothey McVeigh there are many people in the US who more than willing to believe such propaganda and finally act upon the constant whispers of hate – by either bombing or shooting "their opponents" and "evil-doers".
Too many silently support such killings against "fags", "jews", "pinkos", "communists", "niggers", "socialists" and "Killers of Babies" – in their minds those hurt or killed by their compatriots had it coming anyway. They deserved the pain!
We are defending Christian Values
Their rationalisation is either based on their odd form of Christianity (it’s oke to wear weapons and execute people, but not to support health care and other social services to the poor) or their racist form of the American Dream (whites have to succeed, all other minorities are only tolerated and are disposable).
Jesus wasn’t into weapons, he was into healing the sick and connecting / touching the outcasts … or was he?!
The so called Small Town America
This part of white American society is stuck in a 1950’s fantasy of it’s own history: in an Illusion of an Golden Era, when nobody talked about civil rights, minorities slaved away in the background, when Gays where invisible and apart from Commies there were no threats to the great American White Dominance.
The American Civil Right movement had to rip "justice" from White Americas hands. The US still is not an equally fair and just society too all sides. Programs like affirmative action did almost as much harm as good, but many measures like these were necessary to ENFORCE equality. Some parts of White America couldn’t handle the equal treatment of "niggers" and the quest for gay rights (see the still raging debate about Gay Marriage that as already been settled in most Western Nations).
Obama? Osama? It’s all the same to them …
Scared to the Bone
One only needs to observe the effect Obama’s election had on this part of American society: they went nuts!
"The Slaves have become the Masters – run for your lifes!"
Obama hate is their favourite hobby, gun sales in their areas of America soared and the rhetoric’s of their hate preachers went off the scale.
Plus the bad economic situation didn’t help either. And since Wall Street is obviously money business which is traditionally associated with the Jews it was their fault once again that America was going down.
"Niggers, Jews and Fags want America to fail!"
How to deal with a thing called the "future" …
Welcome to the 21st Century
This part of White America simply has no true answers to a changed planet: the effects of globalization and multi-ethic societies.
They can’t cope with another strong religion in their own country and abroad (there are over a billion Muslims world wide to "tolerate").
They can’t cope with the coming success of gay rights movement as much as they couldn’t prevent black/civil rights movement.
Maybe fighting a war without Gay Arabic translators is a bad idea?
They can’t cope with the competition from "brown" countries like India and Mexico taking away their jobs (as an effect of so called "Free Markets" established by their Republican politicians).
They can’t cope with the flood of Latinos to their own country and that they will be just another minority in the USA.
They can’t cope with global organizations dedicated to our planets unification and peace like the UN and EU.
It’s all "evil" to them taking away their "Freedoms" and "American Values" …
Welcome to the 1950’s!
The so called True Americans
The pseudo-religious rage of the so called "True Americans" makes them unable to connect to real America that is happening right now.
It is their pathos of false morals that makes them unable to cope with ANY change and progress – just like it happened before to Christianity in medieval Europe, Muslim societies in India and the Middle East as well as China’s and Japan’s bureaucratic Imperialists.
Which Gun can you recommend for American fundamentalists?
The new American Terrorism
When a former majority shrinks it’s leftovers are always in danger of radicalization, because they can’t connect to present situation.
If you look at the American conservative party you can see that effect. They very busy clinging to past ideas while their movement shrinks and shrinks. The more they dig into the past the more the greater the disconnect. The bigger distance creates more anger and estrangement.
The movement get boiled down to it’s hardcore followers who lack more and more exchange with less radical elements of society so soften them up and reconnect them. The disconnect makes them feel unable to influence society and alienates them even more.
Instead of political tool they resort to violence to make themselves heard and enforce their radical visions for society.
This is not terrorism born out of suppression – like it happened in Palestine. It is terrorism of the fundamentalism – trying to enforce "eternal truths" upon the people and destroy "unbelievers" and new "evil" ideas.
Where do you stand true American?
American Self-Reflection?
The Conservative movement as well as American Society has to recognize the split and correctly name the fundamentalist fringe what it is: a backward and orthodox part of itself.
I am wondering if the American Department of Homeland Security (a term that would have made Goebbels proud) is as eager fighting violent American fundamentalists as Islamic ones?
Just imagine if a Muslim American would have shot a Christian in his Church! The outrage would have been huge and there would have been violent revenge.
But when a good American shoots a Baby-Killer – that’s a different story …
Dear America look at yourself – whatever happened to fair and balanced?
