Back to back, belly to belly at the Zombie Jamboree

We who are on the left in America are dumbfounded (as, I suppose, are many
citizens in other countries), by the indifference and apathy by a healthy
percentage of our fellow countrymen when it comes to challenging the destructive
politics of the Bush Administration.
I suppose it is just human nature not to focus on government actions which we
feel...often correctly..we cannot change. But there is a tipping point, and I
believe we’ve reached it.
On the one hand we have the zombie hoards, comprised of Right wing religious
zealots, uneducated young people who don’t vote or don’t care or both, and Right
wing ideologues who see the Bush ideas as profitable, either financially or from
a power standpoint.
On the other we have the more aware populace who see the actions of Bush as pure
evil. Our side represents about 50% of the electorate, but oddly enough we often
fail to vote. Our rationalization is usually that it’s futile...that Republican
operatchiks will rig votes, intimidate minorities and fix machines. Often that
DOES turn out to be the case.
Our biggest and most unanswerable question is: Why do the zombies support this
absolutely horrendous Administration? Is it misguided ideology? Greed?, the
desire for Armageddon? (I’m not kidding!), or just the desire to be "part of the
gang" and in so doing not having to think.
It’s an easy path to just let it all go. Let Bush and his puppeteers do as they
please. In a way it’s the "American Way"
But in the end, if there really is an "American Dream", the zombies will have to
open their eyes, get educated, get active, and take back their country.
Back to back, belly to belly...at least I can say I’ve not "done that already"
