There is a movie out right now that is basically SHIT TALKING America.
What it does is pretend that civil rights were ANTI American, for the simple fact that they were viewed as "Lefties". Then it pretends that our modern Government can in no way be harnessed, and then says that the Right wing is the only answer.
Firstly, "America" is 2 continents, not a country. So the entire movie falls on it's face when it argues that "Americans" are exceptional and doesn't include all of America, only the "United States of America".
Second, the Right Wing (Republicans) used to be the party that was FOR civil rights. Lincoln was a Republican, but then LBJ signed the Civil rights bill in the 60s and he said "We have lost the south for a generation" (he was a democrat), then after that the south took on "The Southern Strategy" which was to play on segregation politics...
And now we are where we are. We NEED a third party. Republicans that play on segregation tactics are NOT the answer.
Obama has pretty much sucked, but that does not mean that the opposite of him is the answer.
