BARREL OF MONKEYS: "GENESIS" in Reverse


I consider myself a Democrat. Been called a Socialist. Definitely a bleeding heart liberal.


As a child from a traditional southern family, playing Barrel of Monkeys on the floor, church every Sunday, doing well in public school, learning a trade; in every sense privileged .........


Comfortable in middle age, an avid news reader, on learning the tragic story of a full grown chimpanzee destroying the face of a woman who offered a toy, only trying to help it's owner coax her surrogate child back into his cage......


Today being confrontational, ribald, offensive, restless, rebellious.......


How did I get here from there?

Clinton Says Democrats Must Stop 'Mealy Mouthing' in Campaign - BusinessWeek




 "Clinton said the primary motivation behind some of the attacks on President Barack Obama, the country's first black president, isn't racial; it is that opponents want to make him 'the other.' 'Are they racist? No,' Clinton said. 'They want to turn him into a space alien. It helps that his skin color is different. But their motivation is what it always is: power and money.'"





Are all of them racist? No. Will agree with Clinton's answer only to a point most are Republicans doing what Republicans have always done best; compromising only when forced and the least needed to maintain or regain control.

Raised within a white southern christian family tending to vocalize more Republican than devout Christian, know for a fact, most Republicans have more racism in them than care to admit.  Just a tiny amount enough to be quicker on the draw with impatience, frustration, bitterness, anger, or just in need of a target not family.
