Let's go back in time, shall we? Back to simpler days, when parents were good to their kids, fatty bacon, cholesterol-ridden eggs, and starchy white toast were still considered the all-American breakfast. Back in time before men like Pat Robertson and Jerry Falwell would ever be asked to account for their statements. Back in time to an era when being white in this country was being all-powerful, and righteous.What an era! So full of love and understanding. From that era we have 'Leave it to Beaver', 'Baby Boomers', 'McCarthyism', and of course, 'Segregation'.
Don't worry. Those days are coming back. All over the country, people are fighting back against the terror that hit our country with an all-new kind of terror. Good old fashioned ignorant prejudice.
The Ku Klux Klan chapter in Altumna, Georgia, has staged a week-long march towards Savannah bearing signs that read "See, We Told you So" and "Camel Jocky Go Home".
The movement is picking up steam as people are attacked across the country for being muslim or for their middle-eastern descent. Some people, like Frank O'Shea from Rochester NY, simply have dark tans. Poor Frank was staggering home drunk one night when a gang of 'thugs' attacked him, calling him a terrorist, el-kaka, and other slurs.
"At least it was a mixture of blacks and whites." Frank said to the press two days later. "Maybe this is finally bringing the country together."
Indeed, nothing works to bridge racial divides like a common enemy to attack.
President Bush was unavailable for comment, but Dick Cheney claims that "If all goes well, the giants will win the pennant." That was all he would say, and he kept repeating it.
We're still not sure what the hell he was talking about. (I suspect he wasn't either.) Though now we hear that it may have been some sort of code, alerting possible cells in Washington DC of an impending attack.
King Dick is being questioned as we speak.
It is getting hard to tell the terrorists from the communists, the afghanis from the blacks. Funny what a couple of planes crashing into a building can do to a country.
Bush has been saying he wants security back the way it was during the cold war. He also wanted to rid the world of Saddam Hussein.
Maybe if they inspected bin Laden's money a little closer, they'd find it has been lubricated with rich Texas oil and powdered with cocaine.
Maybe.
