"Wall Street Siege: The Middle Class and the Poor Strike Back! - Join the Rebellion!" by v. johns
I recently joined Dylan Rattigan's campaign to “Get Money Out” of politics. I also look forward to Reverend Al Sharpton’s October 15 “March for Jobs and Justice” in Washington, D.C. And, although I don’t know quite what to make of it, yet, I’ll be more than happy to support the movement to “Occupy Wall Street.”
But while Wall Street protesters don’t have any one particular grievance to air, I DO. And while most political discourse, these days, is trending toward blaming “Washington in general” or pointing fingers at “both sides,” I hold and maintain that if anything is to change, at all, those responsible for the current madness we must endure must be brought to justice and put to political death.
Both parties, Democrats and Republicans, many of them, bought and sold, they are. But to what degree and on behalf of whom? The media -- they themselves largely bought and sold -- won’t say.

How anyone can look and see what the Republicans and their Tea Party affiliates have done, in the face of worldwide economic collapse, and claim, with a straight face, that the Democrats are somehow, not a barricade against, but a major part of this sick charade, I cannot understand...
Blame “both sides,” while one obstructs? I’m not playin’ that game…
It’s not the Democrats blocking unemployment and jobs legislation…
It’s not the Democrats pushing costly tax cuts for the rich and putting the burden of reducing the deficit on women, children, elderly, the disabled, and the poor…
It’s not the Democrats blocking appointments to cabinet posts, court vacancies, and… security agencies?
It’s not the Democrats filing a record number of filibusters in the Senate…
It’s not the Democrats allowing the government to be shutdown over ideological nonsense…
It’s not the Democrats who used the full faith and credit of the United States of America as a political weapon, this past summer...
It’s not the Democrats proposing cuts to programs they don’t like in exchange for funding FEMA... for RECENT emergencies!
It’s not the Democrats who walked out on the “Grand Bargain,” this summer…
It’s not the Democrats who want to do away with Medicare and Social Security…
It’s not the Democrats who are crafting legislation in Republican-dominated state legislatures to get rid of collective bargaining...
It’s not the Democrats trying to restrict certain people from voting...
It’s not the Democrats booing gay soldiers...
It’s not the Democrats cheering for people to be put to death, whether they are guilty or not...
It’s not the Democrats clapping for uninsured patients to die…
It’s not the Democrats trying to force the United States Postal Service –- THE UNITED STATES POSTAL SERVICE -- out of existence...
It’s not the Democrats saying no to high-speed rail in the state of Florida…
It’s not the Democrats claiming that the 99-percenters, marching on Wall Street, are lazy or looking for dates...
It’s not the Democrats calling our own President “the enemy” and claiming that he has a “deep-seeded hatred for white people.”
It’s not the Democrats who failed to fund the FAA, back in August, before leaving Washington, on vacation…
It’s not the Democrats who have a race problem…
It’s not the Democrats who used language that led to the killing of an abortion clinic doctor or the crashing of a plane into a federal building in Texas…
It’s not the Democrats who are discriminating against any religion that isn’t fundamentalist Christianity…
It’s not the Democrats who are called “The Party of the Rich.”
Am I wrong?
As one can clearly imagine, I've been deeply troubled by what the tyranny of a few has caused our nation to be reduced to. So, while other 99-percenters are protesting and marching on Wall Street and elsewhere, I’ll continue doing what I've been doing all along, since late 2007… writing opinion columns… and making my case for nothing less than the complete and total END of the Republican Party as we know it.
I can forgive the silliness, disunity and bungling of priorities coming from a big-tent outfit like the Democratic Party. What I cannot, and will not, forgive is the senseless hatred, heartlessness and malice, coming out of what passes for the Republican Party, these days…
May the all burn, comfortably, IN HELL…
