They are invisible, they don't count. Our eyes are all diverted to 1% themes, with heroes from their class. If you ain't in the 1% you don't have any rights. And the mob goes along with it.
Those who worship the 1% manufactured heroes, the political equivalent of rock stars, don't care about the civil rights of those lower down in society. No, they care about 1% celebrities. That's all that is being played out, fame, fortune and the ifestyles of jet setters. Meant to be adored.
They matter, not those losing their civil rights or the rights to say how their bodies will be used. Or if their communities will be destroyed by the 1%. They accuse Obama of everything they have done to hurt people, when it is they who hurt the people he represents. The hate is not as much as about Obama as it is about us.
Rand Paul is the servant of the 1% and is loved because the media has made him golden. Just like Snowden. This for the man who holds budgets hostage to personhood bills, works to end abortion, the rights of gays to live their lives in peace and dignity, and Planned Parenthood.
He does not support my right to anything, not even to live. Those who love him do not love me. It's a hard thing to realize those who say they are your allies have given their allegiance to the 1% heroes. They have left the rest of us behind. They are proud of it and themselves.
The same Rand who says that companies should not have to pay taxes or clean up for industrial accidents that ruin people's lives, who wants the end of the DOE, the separation of church and state, the EPA, Social Security, aid to the poor in food, housing and healthcare, is not my friend.
But he is the friend of the 1% like Snowden and Assange, and will be defended as the Holy Grail. The 1% has taught people well, who is good and bad. They have forgotten the words of Malcolm X warning about the press telling us who to hate, that may be our best friend.
And so it goes. Another win for 1% media.
