worship of guns, brutality, violence, paranoia, that’s what America stands for to this PUTZ!

In spite of some ill feelings and the idea that Bush and the USA dragged the UK into a war that many say was illegal, that aside, there actually are folks here who are our friends, who despise the left as much as we do and who are not blood thirsty Nazis. I must state that time and again because things like this bother me, and while we do have friends here, I seem to see this an awful lot.

Good grief read this will ya.  This ‘expert’ on America has to go all the way back to the 1930’s to vilify us. Father Coughlin was discredited and ended up all but forgotten. The 1930’s were a hotbed of antisemitism world wide. It still exists but less so then it did in the USA.

Then he brings up Sen. Joe who it has lately been found, was absolutely right in many of his accusations. We can’t deny his drinking or his self serving faults. But the man wasn’t wrong on everything all of the time.  If he was, Turtler can tell us.

Anyway .... This is a job for TURTLER !!  Are you out there?

If any of you care to reply directly to this jerk ... his email is below. He isn’t a fan of America so don’t expect a reply. Besides, he thinks he’s always right. Just ask him.

Paranoia at the heart of U.S. politics

Violence has long been a part of the American way of life. We see it today in gang wars, the worship of guns and the appetite for brutality on the screen. The American folk hero was long the tough gunslinger. His more modern counterpart is the bold cop whose role reaches a climax in a hail of gunfire and corpses.

The second unpalatable fact is that a strong vein of paranoia runs through American life. Conspiracy theories run riot there — as they always have. In the 1930s the racist Catholic priest, Father Coughlin, could attract radio audiences of 30 million for his weekly attacks, especially on Jews and Free­masons. His bishop refused to stop him until World War II.

Before him, the Ku Klux Klan could claim a membership as high as six million. In the 1950s the rabid Senator McCarthy’s witch hunt for Communists in the most unlikely places made him a national hero.

Most unlikely places?  Oh right. Like .... inside our own government? Surely not. Must have been a mistake or maybe, in spite of evidence found, he made it all up.

Unfortunately paranoia has also been at the heart of American ­foreign policy which bore fruit in Vietnam, Iraq and Afghanistan. If the North won in Vietnam, ran Washington’s claim, all South East Asia would ‘go Communist’. It did win and South East Asia remained intact. The prolonged invasion of Iraq was inspired by Saddam’s imagined Weapons of Mass Destruction.

Against this sort of background we need to ponder whether the ­Tucson slaughter is all that much out of the ordinary. The language of political debate may be fierce, as it has often been in the past, but we have to wonder whether it was enough to tip a mentally unstable man over the edge and into massacre.

We should be fair. If our weapons laws were as casual as those in the U.S., various loonies here might well match the Tucson outrage. Even our much stricter rules about gun ownership did not prevent the Hungerford massacre of 1987, which left 16 people dead.

A further question is whether the ferocity of political debate in the U.S. spurs on violence or whether it acts as a safety valve for dangerous extremists. What would go on in the mind of a potential assassin if he thought that his instinctive views were never voiced by anyone else?

Would he become more or less dangerous ? In the nature of things, this is an unanswerable question.

What we can say is that it is foolish to suggest that Sarah Palin’s ­metaphorical gunsights — set on particular seats held by Democrats — inspired the Tucson killer.
And there is one advantage in the violent language used by some eager supporters of the Republican cause. It warns us that paranoia remains alive and well in the U.S.

Not that very many people ever read this far down, but this blog was the creation of Allan Kelly and his friend Vilmar. Vilmar moved on to his own blog some time ago, and Allan ran this place alone until his sudden and unexpected death partway through 2006. We all miss him. A lot. Even though he is gone this site will always still be more than a little bit his. We who are left to carry on the BMEWS tradition owe him a great debt of gratitude, and we hope to be able to pay that back by following his last advice to us all:

1. Keep a firm grasp of Right and Wrong
2. Stay involved with government on every level and don't let those bastards get away with a thing
3. Use every legal means to defend yourself in the event of real internal trouble, and, most importantly:
4. Keep talking to each other, whether here or elsewhere

It's been a long strange trip without you Skipper, but thanks for pointing us in the right direction and giving us a swift kick in the behind to get us going. Keep lookin' down on us, will ya? Thanks.
