JASON MILLER: We’re Bending the Arc of the Universe Toward Injustice

Shut Up, Go Shopping, Support the War... and Nobody Gets Hurt!

Remember Martin Luther King and his dreams? Recall how that hopeless idealist dared to conjure notions of the United States treating all people with equality and letting freedom ring? Recollect how he was murdered because he believed a better world was possible and courageously strove to make that world a reality?

Sorry Dr. King. Your martyrdom was wasted. Your glorious dream is on life support and the prognosis is quite grim.

Until recently, dark clouds were gathering on the horizon for America’s ruling elite. Public opinion was rapidly souring against them. Less than one-third of their subjects favored their corporate welfare programs, shredding of the Constitution, eradication of the middle class, implementation of an official state religion, elimination of social programs, and endless war against a phantom enemy.

But social conservatives, nationalists, wealthy elites, the Religious Right, the Neocons, Fox “News,” major corporations, and several other factions have “stayed the course.” Abandoning common sense and humanity, this loose coalition comprised of dogmatic devotees of imperialism, Social Darwinism, and American Exceptionalism manned the bulwarks to avert disaster in the November elections.

...In its infinite benevolence and wisdom, the Bush Regime (buttressed by its accomplices at AIPAC and in the mainstream media) has maintained the illusion of the righteousness of Israel’s ongoing genocide against the Palestinians. Washington received Ehud Olmert and Bush kissed the ring of yet another leader of the parasites dwelling on Palestinian land and thriving on billions of U.S. tax dollars. Ardent supporters of Israel's right to exterminate the Palestinians can rest easy knowing that the United States will continue doing the “right thing.”

Closing in on forty years.
