You Are Not Free to Travel About the Country

Now it seems right wing politics has done a full three sixty on itself- - literally tying itself in knots.  You remember that Citizen’s United was a political organization and the initial issue was whether the Republicans had the right to run a trash Hillary movie that close to an upcoming election.  The court said they did, and I wish they’d have stopped there.  Now the Republican chairman, Reinz Previs  - - what a name- - has taken on two of the networks for even planning to put out two different Hillary Clinton movies sometime.  The CNN one would be a documentary, and the NBC one will be a fictionalized account of Hillary’s life, if the networks aren’t cowed by the tea party.  When the tea party starts dictating that the media puts on the air, then they really have gone too far.  I don’t understand the political climate today.  Randy Rhodes admits that nobody on the liberal side of the fence is organized into an action group.  Not really.  Of course Acorn hasn’t been around since 2010.  Nobody is much talking about liberal web sites any more like move-on.org or think progress - - anymore.    I haven’t hit these sites myself in some time, but perhaps they have become irrelivent because like President Obama himself, they have watered down the liberal message into unrecognizability.  Perhaps.  I don’t know.  Now there is a new organization called ALEC-Exposed.Org.  I’ll have to try that one.  You know things are really different now.  Because back at any time other than now- - a trial like the Trayvon Martin trial would be done in complete secrecy and it sure would not be televised, and no attorney would be going to the media.  They would be too ashamed to admit things like that farce still went on in America.  As Oprah Winfrey says it very parrellel to the Emitt Till case in 1955.  Here is a case of a Black teenager from Chicago being murdered by a group, for whistling at a White woman.  One black witness saw it all and testified.  He felt his life was so in danger that me moved to Chicago and changed his name, and didn’t even tell his future wife he was ever involved in the case.  Of course in the Zimmerman case they just didn’t call any witnesses that were actually favorable to the victim.  So maybe that makes today worse.  I don’t know what to make of today’s political climate.  The whole political climate in this country is like watching a gigantic car wreck occurring in slow motion- - and you are powerless to stop it.

That Kurt guy called the Randy Rhodes show back.  Kurt explained that he was a responsible, normal person- - who is just afraid to go to Bakersfield.  He has all the material emenities of life and Randy says he’s overcome a lot of obsticles.  There seems to be some really strange stuff going on with the city of Bakersfield today.  It’s becoming a little part of Alabama right here in California, apparently.  Who would have guessed?  Someone said that Pennsylvania was like Philadelphia at one end of the state and Pittsburgh at the other, with Alabama sandwiched in-between.  One man stormed a town meeting in that state and killed three people with his shot gun- - and then left the meeting and came back with another gun.  Of course you know they allow guns in town meetings now.  But they don’t allow outsiders.  They check your credentials.  I wonder whether they were doing that in 2009 when the tea party members stormed all those local meetings then.  My guess is they didn’t care/  So if you’re a liberal and were hoping to be perswasive in a conservative environment – you may be jerrymandered out of existence.  But they want all questions and remarks pre-approved in advance.  I heard they began doing that at Calvary Chapel church meetings or some sort.  Nobody could get up and make a speech who wasn’t on some pre-approved list.  So if all these Town Meetings are choreographed, who is choreographing them?  The congressman?   Wouldn’t that be self defeating as to the whole purpose of a “Town Meeting”?  Apparently not.  It’s not safe to travel from one part of the country to the other.  Randy Rhodes was ordered by the KKK to get out of Mississippi and they said that they would inform Alabama to make sure you didn't stay in that state either.  It all started when Randy made a joke about bumps on her forehead she said "were retracted horns" and the guy almost acted if he believed her.  If you have an Obama sticker on your car and go eat as a Restaurant, you may come out to find your car vandalized.  Or else if you’re a woman alone- - a man may get out of his car and start screaming at you and calling you every sort of vile name.  It certainly strikes me that we are a more vile, crude, less civil and polite society than we used to be.  It all started with Howard Stern in the 2^nd half of 1991, and the media as a whole has dropped to his standards, to the moral detriment of us all.  Even Fred Price feels comfortable now slipping in the most crude sexual references right in his Sunday sermons.  They still udder the mantra “You can make a difference” but most certainly nobody believes that any more.
