Republicans “At-War” Against The Pope?

By Desi Cortez Columnist

The Confederates actually believe this Pope is a tree-hugging, Commie/Pinko/Socialist/Marxist who is an open critic and closet enemy of good ol’ America.

What does it say, no . . . what does it scream about today’s crimson n’ grey clad Republican TEA Party, being, as we speak is not only “at-war” against Blacks, Latinos, Muslims, Asians, Native Americans, most women – specifically those with a mind of their own, Organized Labor, Hollywood, the Dept.of Education, the cities of LA, San Francisco and New York, but now is “at war” against the Pope.

Republicans think the Pope is their enemy. Tell me, do you think it’s cocaine induced paranoia or a case of the guilties. . . “ Sometimes you “know you screwed-up” and deserve everything coming . . . like a night train.

“Comeuppance . . . , just-deserts”

I just find it mystifying and distressing the obvious “party-of White men,” the philosophical and emotional “home-sweet-mobile home” for both Conservatives and their kin-folk, the Confederates actually believe this Pope is a tree-hugging, Commie/Pinko/Socialist/Marxist who is an open critic and closet enemy of good ol’ America.

By just about anyones guesstimation, these self-anointed “real” Americans are “at-war” with “their” country, they want to “take it back” from us Black n’ Brown folks. And they’d like to straighten-out the world. Mold n’ shape it so the sun never sets on the American Empire.

Based on all the domesday, “end of the White world as we know it” talk, you’d think it was the beginning of the end . . . the Angry White guy’s “last stand.” I think the good ol boys understand every dog does have its day . . .

Instigators and agitators like Sean Hannity, Michael Savage and Rush Limbaugh – who’s escorting Donald Trump to the throne – these rabble-rousing, flame-throwing arsonist stand as the true “reflections” of contemporary White culture and society, and have no question about it – these provocateurs hate, and I do mean hate, not dislike, but honestly “hate” everybody who isn’t a card-carrying WASP male.

Their words, actions n’ deeds scream it.

Take a week out of your life to listen to AM hate radio, read a little Town Hall and Newmax . . . the level of contempt and animosity harbored towards everybody who isn’t White, Conservative /Confederate, “straight,” and male is astronomical and scary.

These “Patriots” have silenced the Yankee Carpetbaggers like the Orangemen Congressman John Boehner while elevating a straight-talking billionaire as their spokesperson and the “Right” is preparing for being at-war with much of the world.

Do the numbers; most White Americans are members of “the Right” and clearly see themselves as sympathetic to this new Confederated Republican TEA Party of the 21st century, and believe in some shape, form or manner they’re “at war” . . . on both the domestic and foreign front. They see Indians behind every tree . . . King Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves lurk just outside the gates. Nat Turner and Crazy Horse are going to get them. War in the Middle East, war in Ferguson Missouri. At war in North Korea and at war in Queens, Harlem, Chicago, Houston, LA, Miami, Oakland.

Trump’s Troop’s want to make it Fort. America . . . but we’re all already here, inside, across town, next door. . . in-laws.

Can I get an admission here; Even conservatives get “you reap what you sow,” and “the chickens do come home to roost . . .” at some point. Here’s the reality which haunts European-Americans; deep down inside there’s an cultural “come to Jesus” moment taking place all across America; “gee, we screwed everybody to build this empire . . . and now just about everybody has a bone to pick with us.”

There’s little national sympathy nor empathy amongst Americans-Of-Color for White people, particularly men, and even globally, there’s little. The planet is still reeling from European Colonialism’s barbaric carbon-footprint.

And I dare ask; should there be?

Much of the world believes the White American culture, the mindset and attitude, is that of an angry, arrogant, self-absorbed, rude, disconnected from human-kind, pompous asshole . . . generally speaking.

Can I be any more blunt, sharper and to the nitty-gritty of it.

America’s WASP Establishment has concluded they can’t trust the Pope or President Obama. Both world leaders have been branded “Leftist”” who’re trying to reverse the “adverse” effect of European-Colonialism and American Exceptionalism. And don’t you find it interesting n’ all-so very-telling these men are being attacked by . . . guess who – the White power-structure, while yet they’re extremely popular with the little people, the unwashed masses, you and me.

Why? Neither are aristocrats, toting or touting the “aristocratic” company lines.

One man’s Pope, is another’s man’s Marxist.

One man’s President is another man’s “Damn Nigger!”

To be a real, genuine, authentic patriotic American, one must be White, Protestant, and have a penis. And if possible, it’s more-desirable to be wealthy. If you don’t fit the bill, “Conservatives” have got a fight with you. They don’t like nor trust anyone who doesn’t meet their slanted criteria. In 2016 we’re going to witness a White People’s Party” committed to “making America White again . . . .“ If you don’t meet the criteria – being White – your character, morality, integrity and, most of all – your Americanism is in doubt.

To be a member of the New 21st century Confederate TEA Party, like Ol’ Black Uncle Ben Carson – you must hate Muslims, and embrace cutthroat capitalism. You must believe that Black people’s pauper lives don’t really matter, and women are loose harlots who simply want an baby killing factory in their town so they can “sleep-around,” and if found with child . . the mother can coldly kill her baby. You must hate Latinos, believe Mexican immigrants to be thieves, rapist and murderers who carry the Bubonic Plaque if not Leopardsy . . . You must oppose Lady liberty welcoming any of the war refugees coming out of the Arab World to America – the Land Of Exiles. You must equate homophobic hillbilly Kim Davis and her refusal to endorse same sex marriage licences in Green Acres, to the heroine Rosa Parks. You must pretend the Polar ice caps aren’t melting, and fracking – pumping fluids deep-down into mother earth . . . is good for her.

How can it be White males, who’ve maintained a contrived, manipulated stranglehold on liberty, freedom, prosperity, knowledge and power all-throughout the history of American, can now dispute and deny the deeds which have marked them as “assholes.” The guys who’ve pimped, exploited and oppressed . . . every sub-group on US soil, but yet today they’re trying to depict themselves as unbiased and neutral, the sole-arbitrators of what is impartiality, equity, justness and fairness. The smartest, most-honest person in the room who’s always looking-out for the everyday guy n’ gal.

Trickle Down Economics baby . . .

Ain’t that a bitch.

This adversarial and combative non-relationship White men have created with . . . the world is a factoid which I insist we all focus-on. The folks who comprise the Republican TEA Party see themselves up here . . . and the rest of the world as down here. They’re against anyone and anything that helps anybody but them.

2016; The Ballot Or The Bullet . . . again”

Power to the people!!!
