KICKING AND SCREAMING

The struggle for the “hearts and minds” of the American people has never been more clearly delineated.  The conservatives want to hold onto the comfortable, old way of running our country and clinging to an out-dated definition of cultural values.  The progressives want to move America into the future to be a part of the new inter-connected world, with shared values that make sense in this new information based digital world.

The new international interconnections through our digital networks of communications are in the process of re-patterning our consciousness.  These new international connections cross national and cultural borders and present us with an opportunity to reflect on our values and ethics, and also our identity.  More and more people are accessing connections outside of what Sarah Palin refers to as the “lame stream media.”  This corporate controlled media is being sidelined and thus opening the way for us to gain information from an independent, alternative social media.  More people are now exposed to a wide range of views and beliefs.    

Until now, America has held to a rigid and narrow view of the world and of our country’s place in it:  “We’re # 1”;  “American Exceptionalism”;  and “Our Way is the BEST way.” 

We think that America is ready to make the choice to break away from our past and these myopic scenarios.  We’ll just have to drag the conservatives, kicking and screaming, into reality. 

YES WE CAN!
