In the last blog I listed (my) TOP TEN players.
I believe these TOP TEN players shape American Politics.
In case you missed them, here they are:
(For a recap, go to my last blog.)
I am going to apply (my) TOP TEN to the hot topic of 'better regulations on big banks'.

In case you missed them, here they are:
(For a recap, go to my last blog.)
Before we get to today's topic, namely THE
BIG PICTURE, let me preface it with a few points.
Point 1:
I write (my) TOP TEN, because they fit 'my' point of view. Yours
may differ. I am fine with that. The point of the TOP TEN is to
reduce the endless noise of daily news and focus on the overall 'sound' of
American Politics. In other words, the TOP TEN helps me see THE BIG
PICTURE.
Point 2:
In addition, the TOP TEN helps me understand that American Politics is
MUCH bigger than Democrats and Republicans
Point 3:
Finally, the TOP TEN lets me see, that American Politics is shaped MORE by
the 300+ million Peeps, than the few politicians who are paid to sit in Congress.
Now to the main point of this blog:
THE BIG PICTURE.
Sound 1: The Elite feel threatened by proposed new REGULATIONS on Big Banks.
Sound 2: The Elite contact the Hired-Hands. (yes, yes, promises are made.)
Sound 3: The Hired-Hands mesh the proposed bank regulations with Pro-Life.
Sound 4: The Self-Righteous hear Pro-Life and sound their
trumpets… TATATATAToooo00000ooooo000
Sound 5: The Hired-Hands scream:
Class Warfare, Gay Takeover, Socialism!
Sound 6: Since, the Self-Righteous and the Hired-Hands are so ear-numbingly LOUD, America
believes America has spoken!
(….when in fact, that great BIG ROAR came from two tiny sub-groups, who
merely followed their well written script.)
Sound 7: The Rebels grab EVEN MORE tents. (by the way, thanks!)
The Grumblers whisper their great BIG WISDOM in dark hallways.
The Escapists turn on the tube, the web, the phone, the food and the
sex.
The Advocates shudder in horror and start anew.
The Self-Righteous give thanks to the Lord for His divine
intervention.
Sound 8: CHECK MATE!
The Elite win.
The proposed REGULATIONS ON BIG banks fade into the backround……..
MORE BIG BUCKS for the Elite.
.... and that sums up (my) big picture.
Like I said, yours my differ. Feel free to speak up any time.
In my next blog, I'll use (my) TOP TEN to understand the 'Era of Bush.'
Should be fun.
