“The Code” of Politics, Class and Cultural Conflict

Politics is a brutal game. Folks often speak in code. While I have my own strident views, sometimes it’s more prudent to help others spread their messages. Following are thoughts on what I believe is “backward” Republican thinking.

My goal: to help you “crack the code.”

The good news is nearly everyone’s talking politics. Say what you will and support who you want, but this … my friends … is a very good thing.

Wise minds understand issues and challenge fiction with facts. Discuss the election not only among like minds, but reach out and challenge those whose worldview differs from your own. Watch the competition and learn to understand how they think.

Only then … can you win at the “chess game” of politics and civic affairs.

If this election doesn’t challenge us all to get off our duffs, then what will? Use your voice and your vote to participate and sway the national conversation and outcome.

“The Code” of cultural and class warfare is a powerful tool to keep us at odds with each other.

Understand what’s at stake and vote to “Remake Americain a contemporary fresh image. Change the conversation to include both coasts, all races, north and south, urban and rural.

If not, we could embark on another brutal “Culture and Class War”, with enslaved minds, backward thinking and a lack of freedom-oriented, forward action.

The Civil War was not pretty and there’s no need to shed more American blood (or time) over the pettiness of “us” vs. “them.” As Americans, let’s learn from our mistakes and take a great leap forward. We’ve embraced the unknown before—and look what a great country our ancestors built.

Let’s celebrate our differences and play to our strengths in order to win the global game, instead of participating in the madness of devisive, separatist thinking.
