Romanticizing Slavery: Why Does America Do It?

The Republican curse is like a method of Roman torture whereby a rotting corpse is strapped to a healthy person’s body until the decomposing excrement and bacteria infects the living tissue and the healthy individual succumbs to a slow, torturous death. The dead body is the GOP and the living human – carrying around the weight of the decaying body while at the same time attempting to survive and provide necessities to sustain that existence– is the nation.

Admittedly, this is a grotesque metaphor of the current condition. But the end justifies the description. Aren’t we dying as a nation because the Republican Party – with its obsession with guns, violence, wars, myths, fear and hate – is tied to our backs? Somehow we can’t rid ourselves of their influence; neither can we escape to another planet. We’re married to the mob and tortured forever.

The Nazis Party, with its nasty little prejudices and cultic myths, was Germany’s dead corpse strapped to its back. Republicans are ours.

This is the first metaphor in a long time that so precisely explains our American condition at this point in time.

History repeats its self... will we continue to allow the current rot from within to make us so weak we fall?

I say no, I see confrontation on the horizon and I for one will embrace it. Bring it on, let us be done with this infection.

Hoka Hey!
