We’re losing. And we’re losing big.

We Democrats/Liberals/Progressives, or whatever we choose to call ourselves, have spent the last 30 years playing defense. Somewhere along the way, we forgot how to fight back. And we don’t play defense very well. We’re being buried by banks, oil companies and all the rest of that one or two percent who, in effect, “own us.”

“Own us.” What a despicable idea. I’m talking about those who own almost the entire media. They own most of our federal and state “elected” politicians. And they own many of the next generation of “elected” whores at the local level, who are waiting to sell their souls for influence, wealth and power.

The peasants are kept in line because their votes are guaranteed through fear of “immigrants,” “Muslim terrorists,” “real black equality in America,” and through every other despicable tactic that can be brought to bear. It’s not that hard to exploit ignorance.

So here’s where we are. We Dems seem to have been castrated since the day that the amiable imbecile, Ronald Reagan, infested the Oval Office?

Can this political “game” be turned around? Perhaps. It may take a dozen or a hundred years. And even then, who knows if a new Renaissance will come about? But by then, Earth’s ecological system may have ended us.

So what do you think? Are we losing big? Or are we just in a slump? You already know my opinion.
