Divide and Conquer

Americans have given up on politics, but I can't blame my fellow American...there are a lot of distractions out there...Americans must shop, cook, clean, take their kids to practice, church activities, and make it home to watch the new episode of Survivor. So what American has time for politics?

The media knows the average American relies on what the TV broadcasters say is important in politics...therefore the country is divided in the Right and Left corners, or Republican vs. Democrat. Essentially, the media, and Washington DC, has divided the United States of America.

And under this division, our country is conquered. You see, none of the "important" issues, such as racism, immigration reform, and health care, have been resolved since the 1950s, yet Democrats and Republicans are re-elected EVERY year. So how can we Americans think the two party system is working?

Racism, for example, is a huge divider between Americans. But let's look at our country's history. Colonists first enslaved Native Americans, then Blacks, then German, Irish, Italian, and Russian immigrants....and now, in 2008, our country is enslaving Hispanic immigrants. Not to mention crime and violence are inflated among minority groups in order to make the upper-class elitists feel better about themselves. When I say "elitists", I'm not just talking about White people--I'm talking about Blacks, Mexicans, or anyone that was once a lower class minority and has now advanced to a better professional and economic class in America. These racial and class divisions do nothing but engineer economic advancement among immigrants/minorities, and create the belief that in America, you can do better.

Democrats want to hand-out economic advancement to minorities. This solution is not possible. I believe in Charles Darwin's theory of "survival of the fittest"...the government should not enforce Affirmative Action, communities should enforce, and demand, that the best person (no matter the color) gets the job.

We, as a country, should not demand the immigrant population do jobs (like picking oranges and landscaping) that we Americans can do ourselves. If we want secure borders, we as a country need to stop giving these "lower" jobs to immigrants, and then maybe, just maybe, the Hispanics won't illegally enter our country. Sure, from a Republican point of view, secure borders are wonderful...but the United States has NEVER had a secure border w/Mexico in over 200 years...so I don't think Republicans are even trying very hard... secure borders and immigration reform are nothing but re-election issues, and once Congressmen/women are re-elected, the issue is not resolved.

We Americans must understand that racism is constructed by the upper-class to make them feel as if they are doing better then the "minorities". Democrats and Republicans get re-elected each year based on this issue. Yet, NOTHING HAS CHANGED. AND IT WON'T CHANGE UNTIL WE RECOGNIZE WHY WE DEHUMANIZE OUR IMMIGRANT POPULATION. The poor saps that suck the American welfare system dry, need to stand up and start taking these farming, landscaping, and housekeeping jobs. American taxpayers need to shout at them, NO YOU ARE NOT ENTITLED TO SIT AT HOME AND COLLECT WELFARE BECAUSE YOU THINK YOU ARE TOO GOOD FOR THESE "IMMIGRANT" JOBS. YOU NEED TO GET OFF YOUR BUTT AND WORK!!

Local communities should take responsibility and demand that businesses create an equal working environment, based on individual achievements, not gender and racial entitlements.
