Foot Schleppen

By John M Zurak

Last Sunday afternoon,  Australian time,  my Baba, (my Grandmother) died peacefully, after wrestling heroically with the bear that is Alzheimer’s.

In fact as I complete this little note in her honor they are laying her body to rest.

And all I can say is; I miss her deeply.

Dearest wife of mine.

I am writing this email as a result of learning something about you today because of actress Janeane Garofalo

My dear, you are a racist.

Funny thing, according to her so am I.

Why, you might ask?

Well because we went to the Charlotte, NC tea party.

Now according to Ms. Garofalo, and this is something until now I did not know,  those who went to these tea party’s did not go because of taxes, or government bail outs, or dissatisfaction with government overspending.  According to the astute savvy political philosopher Ms. Garofalo, (and remember when a former Code Pink, Ralph Nader supporter speaks we all should listen very intently) we went purely to vent our racist tendencies.

On Keith Oblermann’s show she said when talking about the tea party protesters;

“Let’s be very honest what this is about. It’s not about bashing democrats, its not about taxes,  they have no idea what the Boston Tea Party was about, they don’t know the history, this is about hating a black man in the White House. This is racism straight up. This is just a bunch of tea bagging rednecks. And there is no way around that.

Then she went on to say not only are all conservatives and Republicans are racists,  they are also against all immigrants.

Only one thing perplexes me in attempting to apply her statement in our life, and I suppose in hindsight it is a pretty important point and I guess this is why I am so confused. Maybe I will need to get her to comment on it, but here is the rub;

You’re black and I’m an immigrant.

If I could kill one piece of political rhetoric that continues to get spouted as biblical truth, it would be that FDR’s “New Deal” is a heroic bill of genius that pulled us out of the deep cascade that was the Great Depression.

I hear it time and time again. The economic crisis we have now has ensured that FDR name has become the great cattle call.

However, like the Bubonic Plague, this festering notion has begun spreading across the globe causing great ills in foreign markets.

Madam Speaker,

As I write this note to you, I suspect that you are on your way to Italy, doing the people’s bidding in your capacity as Speaker of the House.  And though I do share your respect for the Pontiff and would generally share your eagerness to own an audience with His Eminence, I do wish your focus was on the business at home.

It is the nations business and how it has been conducted the past few weeks that is the focus of my letter today.

“ “Father if you are willing, take this cup from me, yet not my will, but yours be done.” An angel from heaven appeared to him and strengthened him. And being in anguish, he prayed more earnestly and his sweat was like drops of blood falling to the ground.”   - Luke 22: 42- 46

This was Christ the night he was betrayed, knowing the suffering that was ahead you could say He was a little STRESSED OUT. Jesus’ crucifixion death burial and resurrection would save sinners from all generations. His death was the adoption process of the world.

After the crushingly easy victory for the new socialist front in the November federal elections I decided to follow in one of my heroes sandals and head of in the political wasteland. What do I mean?

Well, for forty days and nights I went on on a complete political fast. That’s right people, since the decision for the new President elect I did not watch, read (sorry Drudge if you overall hits took a major dive) or listen to anything political.

Why did I do it?
