Class warfare indeed. There is a war on the poor and the helpless because they are…well…poor and helpless. There is a war on organized labor, because they are organized. There is a war on women, because they are “only” women. There is a war on Gays and Lesbians because they are “sick” and “perverted.” There is a war on children because they don’t vote or donate. There is a war on the elderly because they won’t be around for much longer, and because after a lifetime of giving, they expect and need to get something back. There is a war on the ill because somehow it’s their own fault. And the real irony of this war is that so many of the perpetrators are themselves poor, or women, or Gay, or Lesbian, or labor, or elderly, or ill, or helpless. They have been co-opted by shiny slogans and slick presentations and strains of the national anthem drowning out the cries of the anguished. You can’t hide all of the problems of this nation by draping the flag over them…or maybe you can. So many Americans vote against their own best interests. So many…
