Black Power or Superpower?
Wake up and smell the coffee. America no longer is a superpower. I can watch Charlie Rose and listen to each and every guest regurgitate, how America is the leader of the world. I chuckle. I chuckle, because a nation with no monetary power cannot be a superpower. No nation with trillions of dollars in debt (although to whom I honestly do not know) can be a superpower. We are a cheap whore. Is it flattering to be India and China's whore? There must be a joke here. A Jewish American Princess believes "cooking" and "fucking" are cities in China. Isn't this a bit of whom we are? America. A bit of an overstated, narcissist, bully trying to police the world? No. There is a reason we are in the Middle East, but do you know what it is? Does anyone? Poppies anyone? Bueller? Natural resources? Bueller? America is a used up whore, and the pimps are parading around in mink coats and feathers in their hats. Once this was Hip Hop. Once this was "Blaxploitation." When it was clear, when it was understandable, it was cool. Now it is just a facade of invisible factions, ghosts, battling for control, like the shallow gods of Greek mythology. America is not a superpower. Why would be considered such a thing? It is not possible (Republican) [sic] to believe that because once we were so still we are now. IBM is extinct, just as are the rest of American ideals that once represented a great nation. Greatness no longer is a tangible quality of America. If it is, what qualifies us? What have we done to exhibit greatness, leadership, or virtue? President Obama was successful plotting the assassination of Osama Bin Laden, and it was good. Possibly it is the best thing America has done in sixteen years. The list of inexorable ills that define America are more prevalent. Wall Street. The Iraq War. Halliburton. Exxon. BP. The list of America's platitudes is defunct. We reached the moon, but so did the Soviets. We solved the Cold War to see the Soviet Union deteriorate into mob corruption. We created ISIS. We created ISIS. Let's get one thing straight. America no longer is a superpower, so I wish we would stop saying it. A superpower is defined by economics, economic gain. ECONOMIC GAIN. I don't mean economic gain for the pimps parading around in fur coats with feathers in their hats at Bilderberg rallies. The shallow gods of Greek technology (I mean mythology) will not inherit the earth. The meek shall inherit the earth. It is torture the wait, and watching them destroy our planet. What? My microwaves of which my fortune are made are dangerous? Bah humbug. This is the thought process of the mentally taxed and the demented. It's called denial. America is in denial. Maybe it's good that Donald Springer is stirring the stew.
