Calling a Spade Communism

VH-1 for the first time in a L-O-N-G while had one of their semi roc-u-mentary programs on the tube. I have all but given up on hearing or seeing good bands anymore on television. Why was the decision made to add cornball “reality” type programming to what formerly were channels devoted to music? Did America just suddenly lose interest in music videos? Is it there is no product? Nightclubs have all but disappeared except for the legendary Apollo Theatre in Harlem. It has sustained the test of time. This particular episode on VH-1 rebutted some of the comments in one of my former posts. I said, as related to the Biblical story of Sampson, that hair is in some way empowering. Whether it makes you feel good as a sensory/tactile entity or whether it allows you to express individuality is subordinate. Let’s call a spade a spade. Tipper Gore, a conservative political regime, and the media all unfairly type cast “hair” as a tool of El Diablo. The addictive tendencies of what appear to be hedonistic rockers became the personification of a style of music that freely and rightly represented the thoughts and feelings of many in our youth population at the time. Whew! Another mouthful of words. Let’s call a spade a spade and let the needs of the masses supercede the slandering of the few, the masses being the creativity, individuality, freedom, and future of our people as a whole. There are always a few who are offended; often times they are “Old Money.” The conservatives want things to stay the same, because it is comfortable for them. They have always had most of the money, and logically and by habit they want to keep that money. A shift of power of who has and controls money means a shift in politics. The founders of this country can not let that happen, can they? “We must remain in control of this great “F-R-E-E” nation. As you can easily surmise the country of America is not really free. Maybe we are free as a nation, free from the dominance of Royal rule, free from Apartheid in Africa, and free from mass genocide and sectarian violence. We are also free from the evolution of Western Civilization, and that is important to the future of the United States of America. Bill O’Reilly said many in America want “the” Scandinavian model of governmental rule. He, as a conservative, is against this. “Let’s keep things like they always have been,” but that means generally speaking those with money keep the money. That isn’t really the idea expressed in our Declaration of Independence. If we really are to be able to pursue our own happiness, it is not in our best interest to have individuals in political power that do not support this idea. That means that our governmental system is somewhat responsible for Christian behavior. Upon perusal of the definitions of both Socialism and Communism, these definitions refer solely to an economic system. The definitions of both democratic and republican are a little more telling. A democracy is the community's governing through its representatives for its OWN benefit. That to me coincides with the ideas stated in our Declaration of Independence. “That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.” Republican on the other hand simply means, “a nation or state in which the citizens elect representatives to manage the government, which is usually headed by a president rather than a monarch.” It seems we have two philosophies of politics available under a system of government that seems to be overtly democratic as stated in the Declaration of Independence. That means the burden of upholding our Constitutional rights is in the hands of the people by way of their voting rights. For whatever reasons that the people lose faith, become disinterested, or simply neglect their responsibility to uphold our beliefs and therefore our rights, allows corruption of our philosophy. Let’s thank God that the youth of America became aware, became enlightened, and rallied to vote to change what has been happening. If the Republicans were to remain in power, by the very nature of the definition of the word republican, the possibility would continue to exist that the basis of the founding of our country could be in jeopardy. If we simply elect representatives to manage the government, then as has happened in the former U.S.S.R, government could becomes corrupt. It seems to me our mistake in electing republican rule supports the very definition of Communism and created a movement stated in its definition, “the overthrow of (noncommunist) societies, (governments) in behalf of the laboring class, usually as the result of a series of struggles of class conflict." With the election of money Communism is created. Controlling money has always been the key issue in rule of the United States, and is it this oppression of our economy and people that selfishly attempts to maintain “Old Money,” therefore conservatism in a political system that has come to be defined as Communistic? Let's let hair be only hair and call a spade a spade.
