The whole Left/Right paradigm is a largely false one, and damned archaic to boot, being based upon the seating arrangements of the French Revolutionary Assemble during its earliest years. In this country the political structure is almost entirely Corporatist. The Dems are Center/Right Corporatists who got into power because the Extreme Right policies of the GOP have brought The Republic to its knees, may have even ruined it. Time will tell.
If you had ever deigned to talk to me, you'd know that I did not vote in the last presidential election because I was repelled by the whole Brand Obama insanity. I suspect that Palin was added to McCain's ticket to sink him with an absolute certainty, as only the Far Right actually finds her appealing.
The Tea Party is Scared Old White Folks, scared because their time is ending. They know how they treated non-white minorities and are rightly fearful of the same. All their other noise is a smokescreen. If you are honest with yourself...well, you know where I'm going.
I'm not a White=Evil type. Those of European descent are simply the ones who've been Top Dog for the last five centuries. Hell, the Modern World is an almost entirely Anglo-European invention. But a lot of that is simply the luck of the draw, not any racial superiority.
For me, the paradigm is White Male=Oppressive Dominant. Nothing more, nothing less. It's The Penis, not the skin. Chaka Zulu, a 'great black hero,' was also an oppressive bastard, a Fascist and Imperialist. If he had the reach and the tech, he'd have 'put his boot' on a lot more necks. I can name dozens of other non-white male mother fuckers, too.
The Tea Party is a political scam. It's members are being hustled by Corporate America. On the other side is Brand Obama. That's a political scam, too. It's my sad duty to inform you that Mass Democracy Has Failed (http://nebris.livejournal.com/tag/mass%20democracy%20has%20failed).
