195. I don't wish this on anyone

nor do I take delight in anyone's misery, let me be clear. These policies were not handed down from Mount Olympus, nor were they imposed by a maniacal dictator. They were implemented by people who were put in place by an electorate that chose these people in order to protect their interests. Richard Nixon won re-election in a landslide, yet I find it difficult, if not impossible to find anyone who will admit to voting for him. Say what you will about Scott Walker, not only was he elected to office,he survived a recall election despite the universal dislike for his policies and actions.
The bottom line is that, we the electorate, have to take responsibility for who we vote for and what we vote for. People like Walker are elected because there is a majority of people who agreed with his platform; anti union, anti poor and anti government. Then these same people act shocked when those policies not only affect the "others" but them as well.
Blacks, other ethnic and economic minorities were easy to ignore when the crap came down. We all screamed from our rooftops about the effect and unfairness of these policies and we were marginalized and taken for granted come election time; where else would we go.
Now indeed the chickens have come home to roost and now there is wailing in the land and a gnashing of teeth. To take a line from "Mrs. Landingham" from "The West Wing": Are you in a bad situation, yes you are; Do I feel sorry for you? I do not. But if you're not willing to put your shoulder to the wheel because you're afraid of me or the job is too hard, then. I'd rather not know you.
Dr. Martin Luther King died helping poor people, Robert Kennedy, died working for the good of all Americans and wanted to do more. Now, if you believe what they believed, you'll take this country back from these impostors and poseurs instead of paying lip service to their memories and feeling sorry for yourself. Stop worrying about Obama changing things, it's our mess, we have to clean it up.
