GROWING UP IN THE USA

Shortly after WW2 at the age of thirteen, I believed I would be a Communist. The Soviet Union was our ally to defeat Hitler’s Germany and now the world would be at peace forever. Then I grew up. As a New York City born kid, I was privileged to see first hand the comedy of characters that vied for political power in front of the new media of Television.

After living on a US Destroyer (some say we should have gotten Sub pay) in the North Atlantic for a few years and attaining more wisdom: ‘wisdom’ begins the moment you discover you are not immortal, I married and began to raise a family. Yes, again in New York City, which furthered my education into understanding the banner drawn upon the naked cherub atop the title New York Journal American afternoon paper, stating “What Fools Ye Mortals Be.”

These life experiences did not make me an expert in human behavior; however, upon hearing just a few words from an aspiring politician, I grew to understand my talent for “I’m on to you.”

This is somewhat like Ronald Reagan’s emergence from once being a Democrat. He grew up, and thus he could say with understanding, “I’m on to you.”

“A Face in the Crowd,” is a movie, (1957) directed by Elia Kazan, staring Andy Griffith, that depicts a man that experiences adoration by the media and slowly becomes drunk with power, descends into believing he is indeed an Idol of worship. This ego manic transition is the attraction that entertains us. This is what brings me to see a parallel in the adoration, or titillation that draws the media to Barrack Hussein Obama. A surreal state of euphoria has drugged a large part of this nation into Idol worship. The Entertainment Media, (formally the Fourth Estate-The Press) has played the pied piper and now descends into adolescent malicious malice. Entertainment has displaced sober responsibility of a nation to protect itself. The Fourth Estate has vanished.

The current and future President has two major jobs; Commander in Chief of our armed forces to defend us against all enemies, and foreign-treaty messenger; to communicate our resolve to defend ourselves, and to ally with those that understand liberty and justice.

The US Democratic Party is willing to align itself with all salacious, corrupt racial baiting and inflammatory rhetoric to incite hysteria into an illiterate citizenry. Yes, the Democratic Party relies upon seeding illiteracy then harvesting the fooled population to keep elitists in tenured political power. Thus, controlling the power of legislated taxation to insure the kickback schemes into their personal wealth. The Entertainment Industry (formally the News Industry) wets its beak drinking from this pipeline.

It is time for all of us to grow up once again and take back America from the sandbox of the would-be-king-Obama, anointed by the Entertainment Industry, (formally the News Industry).
