The 2010 Elections: A Classic Case Of “Let's Blame The Victim!”

Now that the 2008 Obama campaign's promise of change that became the politics of compromise is on its way to becoming the shame of capitulation, many of us “we told you so” people are still being harangued by the cult known as the O-pologists!  These people hang out on various social media waiting to swoop down and try to stifle the free speech of anyone who expresses anything that differs from their constant droning, unconditional worship of the President.  They take exception to ANYONE who dares to say that Obama has become the President of compromise rather than of change or that he is not acting in the best interests of working people, the retired and the poor.

One of their favorite rants is that “you progressives stayed home in 2010 and let the Republicans win in many places” which gave the Republicans the edge.  Personally, I didn't stay home, I let myself get suckered into the same old lesser of two evils ploy and reluctantly voted along party lines, knowing that Obama and a party made dysfunctional by it's Blue Dogs didn't deliver on many of his and its campaign promises.  Those who decided to stay home, even after I urged them on the air to get out and vote did so because they felt betrayed.  I could understand that because I also felt betrayed!  Many of the reasons why lots of us felt betrayed are found in numerous articles on this website, so I won't go into them here.

O-pologists, let's get one thing straight, the people who didn't vote stayed home because they felt that they had to choose between toxic Republicans and compromising Democrats who are Republican enablers.  They didn't cause the problems we have today, the President's failure to fight for the middle class, working people, seniors and the poor caused the voter apathy.  Let's give All Americans a reason to get out and vote in 2012 by giving them someone worth electing from a party that truly represents working people, a Labor Party.  We must support its candidate with the same zeal that we supported President Obama in 2008!  Hey, I wonder if Bernie Sanders is available?

Dear Hard working twitter for working people,

We are doing the same as you are trying to do by publishing the online Journal of Modern Socialism, whose URL is given abovde. Please take a look at it. We can work together. Let us stay in touch. Here is what I wrote for McClatchy about the same subject you wrote about:
The tea party ideology and behavior shows that they are seeds of fascism. If you compare their goals and behavior with those of the Nazis in Germany and the Fascist in Italy, such as what they did and how did they rise to power, you will conclude that they are the same. The fascist march on Rome, which brought Mussolini to power, is comparable to the tea party march on Washington, in which they hurled insults on the congress people. They thought that they can grab the power here too as their fellow did in Italy, but they forgot that we have a very long tradition in exercising democratic rights and that the capitalist system here is much stronger than that of Germany and Italy then. It will not allow them to grab the power, but allow them to bark at the opposition to stop the tide against the excessive profit the rich people are taking, bleeding the system. The Nazis hated minorities such as the gypsies, the Catholics and others. It is same thing as the tea party advocates against the minorities and immigrants. The American people need to understand that this tea party ideology of today created by the same economic hardship as the Nazis and Fascist ideologies created by the economic hardship in Germany and Italy at the time. This ideology should be defeated before it inflicts the same damages those ideologies inflicted in the world. We need more people to stand like rep Maxine Waters, and perhaps Obama should learn a lesson that appeasing them will bring the same results which Hindenburg, the president of Weimer Republic in Germany, brought by appeased Hitler.

Editor, JMS
