The supreme court pick = Fuel for Progressive America

[don954]

In a panic about Bush’s choice for the Supreme Court? Don’t be, here’s why.

First, one undeniable fact. While most Americans don’t see themselves as progressive, the vast majority is very progressive in comparison to what these Federalist Society judges see America as.

So why don’t they vote progressive?

The problem is, most voting Americans have not lived in the 1950s America. They don’t know what it was like, and the ones who have, have forgotten.

We won the majority of our battles, we now live in the nation WE, the Progressives of America, have built.

The problem, you see, we won’t most of our battles via acts of legislator and SCOTUS decisions. We have yet to make a majority of our causes part of the Constitution of the United States. We got conferrable in our victories.

Americans today don’t know what it is like to loose a daughter, sister, loved one, from a back alley abortion. We have forgotten.

Americans today don’t know what it is like to be turned down for a job because the color of their skin, a disability, or their sex, and not have recourse. We have forgotten.

Americans today don’t know what it is like to see “whites only” in a restraint window. We have forgotten.

Americans today don’t know what it is like to be denied the right to vote due to their status, wealth, race, or sex. We have forgotten.

Americans today don’t know what it is like to live in a world were workers are true slaves to the corporate machine, working 100 hour weeks, with no workers rights, without hope of making a better life for ourselves and our children, only enriching the Rockefellers of the time. We have forgotten.

Americans flat out don’t know what it is like to live in a world that thousands of Progressive Americans have worked for generations to banish. We got lazy with “good enough” court battles & laws.

So what will happen if they start overturning these victories?

First, they will have deflated their base supporters. They will no longer be able to rally their base with the cries of their manufactured morals.

Then, it starts. Americans will realize they no longer have overtime pay or a 5 day work week. For in this corporatist administration, the big businesses will be the first to be rewarded. Americans will start to loose their loved ones again to the back alley abortion, something they thought banished long ago to some dark memory. Americans will start to see, one by one, the world we built for them, disassembled.

Will Americans roll over and accept this?

I don’t think so.

I believe that we will see the most severe demand for Progressive America our history has ever seen. I believe conservatives, finally getting their backward and stone age ideals will be removed from office to never regain power again. I see true constitutional change. The laws, decisions, and the progressive policies that have made America the most powerful and respected nation in the world made a part of the fabric of this nations most cherished laws. This is the level of change that Americans should have never stopped short of, and this time, we wont, for we have all tasted the fruit of the Progressive America, and whilethe battle may be long and hard, we will never accept anything less again.
