Chupacabra Report

Not that I’m a loyal democrat or anything, (When as precinct chair I had to pledge to support “all democratic party candidates” I always did so with fingers crossed; hell, I remember years when we had a Lyndon LaRouche nutcase or a transsexual convicted murderer on the slate) but having waited over ten years for the tables to turn, I’m finally feeling that the stars are in alignment, and that the coming year’s elections will really shuffle the deck on American politics. Consider the following....

-In Pasadena Texas last month, a man saw a pair of burglars leaving his neighbor’s house. He called 911, told the operator that he was going to kill them, and then he did just that. The grand jury has yet to report back, but meanwhile activists from the Nation of Islam and the New Black Panther Party are demonstrating outside the shooter’s house, prompting counterdemonstrations by neighbors, bikers, and 2nd Amendment types calling the man a hero. This has meant long hours for Pasadena police charged with keeping the mob scene from becoming a race riot.

-In Phoenix Arizona, police are now turning non-citizens over to federal authorities for their own protection, as crazed right-wing talk show hosts and white supremacists have been inciting violence against them. This as violence spawned by failed drug war and immigration policies spreads northward into Texas and Arizona.

-All this as the national debt soars,the dollar falls, the housing and automotive industries go into the tank, the healthcare industry threatens to bankrupt the entire country, just as it has done to millions of families, and the nation drags into the sixth year of an unpopular war. No wonder Tory politicians are resigning in droves.
