Log Cabin Republicans Reveal the Future

So it seems the Log Cabin Republicans will hold a press event today in NYC to scold the Republican Party for drafting a homophobic platform. Now this is truly newsworthy but not because Log Cabin's oppostition to the Federal Marriage Amendment is new. No, the media should be focused on this event because it objectifies the mass delusion of America.

When a group of people who have been targeted for discriminatory treatement by the political party they support financially and ideologically do anything less than renounce fully their association with that party they display a debased political desperation that should be heralded for its visionary clarity.

This could be any group of people who by nature, economics, race, religion, geography, sexual orientation, or any other force, feel a political affinity to one another and continually lend their support to an institution that exists primarily to harm them and diminish their future porspects. In fact, the Log Cabin Republicans could be any group in the US protesting the mean-spirited GOP. The Republican Party as it is currently constituted serves the interests of no one, not even the corporate fat cats who will eventually be forced from the privately secured mansions by the impoverished mobs demanding a return on their Republican investment.

The fact that homosexuals are in the vanguard of this revelation is not surprising. We've been known to set trends in every area of culture - usually for the worst as we see here.

Let's just hope the Log Cabins surprise us and break fully with the party and begin its unraveling before it's too late.

The Israeli Pentagon Spy

As the Bush administration, buttressed by the neo-conservative ideology of Paul Wolfowitz, Richard Perle, Douglas Feith, et al, vascilates again toward unwavering support of war criminal Ariel Sharon's Israeli government we are faced with the question of why does Isreal need a mole in the US government?

The US has always been an unfair dealer in the middle-east conflict, siding with persons and plans that would continue to marginalize Palestinians and their rights to land, liberty and life.

If this latest flap ultimately leads to Israeli strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities or simply stokes the fires of American fundamentalists to fully stock the Promised Land with Jews, the outcome for the larger world will be the necessity to increase US military aid to a state that becomes less and less viable.

Getting rid of Sharon, tearing down the apartheid wall, guaranteeing the Palestinian right of return and emptying the refugee camps are the only rational steps toward peace in Palestine. In the US, AIPAC must be replaced by an organization of American Jews who seek peace and want to use the billions of US dollars targeted for Israel to find a truly just settlement that recognizes Jewish, Arab and Christian right to seek a harmonious existence.

Unseating Bush and sending his neo-con clique on their way to historical obscurity is the great responsibility of US voters this November.

When in the course of human events....

it becomes necessary for a people to wake the f(*& up and take back control of their nation, it is probably too late.

Who among us really believes that a Kerry victory will turn the inexorable tide toward third-worldism for us workin' saps in the good ol' USofA?

Let's face it we're being gobbled by the global economy and this would have happened with or without the World Bank, WTO, GATT, NAFTA, et al. Our demand for ever-cheaper and more abundant crap to decorate our lives makes it ever more impossible to actually achieve desired level of visual spendor.

Oooops. I'm late for the Beer Bust at The Faultline. See ya later.
