While pondering about today's politics and political non-sense, I thought about what needs to happen to right-wing nuts and pundits so we can move on on the issue of immigration, race and discrimination. And so, I came up with this list of 12 Steps for Recovery.
Step 1: Admitting that you do not like people of color (You could not even bear to watch a Colors of Benetton commercial!).
Step 2: Admitting that you do not like others who enjoy life to the fullest and you can't, because the Bible say so.
Step 3: Admitting that we all came here uninvited and until you find the invitation (or Evite) the Native Americans made to the Pilgrims; I stand corrected.
Step 4: Admitting that Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert speak more truthiness than Lou Dobbs, Glen Beck, Bill O’Reilly, Sarah Palin, and all right-wind pundits put together.
Step 5: Admitting that you are afraid not from terrorist or undocumented immigrants, but your constituents finding out the skeletons in your closet.
Step 6: Admit to and renounce your addiction to big corporations, lobbyist and Wall Street.
Step 7: Admitting that change is constant and those kids you now call “anchor babies” will be the future Congress man and women; Gomez, Martinez, Garcia, Lopez, Sanchez, et al.
Step 8: Admitting that the immigration system is as failed as you would be on a Morality Index Scale test.
Step 9: Admitting your addiction to power and control which without, would make you another “Joe the plumber” landing you a job on FOX TV.
Step 10: Finally, admitting that there is a force bigger than you, me, and all that surrounds us. His name is Obama.
