"Old Glory"
Flag of The United States of America
"I love this country. But I fear for its future. Because America doesn't
understand that the greatest threat it faces is not from Al-Qaeda. America's greatest threat is from the millions of impoverished and economically disadvantaged Americans who have been systematically left out of
the “promise”
of America. The promise that this country would be a
country where all would have an equal chance to experience America's prosperity
is no longer accurate.
Systemic racism, discrimination, or just raw capitalism,
which by its very nature seeks to exploit the vulnerable, has ensured that America has a
large and growing mass of people who simply can not take part in our prosperity. That is
largely by design. These millions of economically disenfranchised people, who
have been pushed to the margins of society, who have been overtaxed, overworked
and underpaid, abused and exploited in every way are the greatest threat
America faces. They are the cancer growing
within.
The wealth disparity in this country has created a permanent underclass of people. No weapon our military
can create, no expertise of our greatest strategists, can stop the assault of a
people who are tired of being the mules of this society. The wealth is
concentrated at the very top of this country. The "Capitalism"
that exists today within America is a perverse system that indentures the
masses while enriching the few. It is based on a long recognized system of
white supremacy, which has always had “Greed” at its root.
The rich are the decision makers. Those who are
essentially above the law. The Promise of America is a LIE. Maybe at one time
there was a promise of America. But certainly not now. The United States has a
greater income disparity than many countries of the third world. Those who
have never had to work hard are the ones who pass moral judgment on the rest of
us. The Millions of impoverished in this
country are the threat that has yet to become. If they ever
reach collective resolve to change this unjust, predatory and unfair system, they
will be the largest fight America will ever face."
