I wrote this over the summer when I was used and abused as a serf; by a middle-class family on a roofing project. Will never do that again; would rather die than cow-tail out of my class and social spere again.
"A DEEPER SHADE of BLUE"
By
Brett Alexander Macarius Andreeivich Encelewski
They are like us; but they are not us.
They talk like us; but don’t say the same things.
They know similar people; but their people are more powerful.
They know the same TRADES; but they have different, better jobs.
They know the same craft; but they don’t know it as we do.
They work to play; we work to survive.
They clean-up nicely; we don’t.
They have a blue-collar; so do we, however:
It is a deeper shade of blue: saltier, grittier, earthy, and true.
Sometimes God-fearing,
Sometimes godless,
Sometimes enlightened,
Sometimes ignorant,
Sometimes grandiose,
Sometimes depressed,
Sometimes epic,
Sometimes tragic.
For millennia; civilization has risen and fallen at the compliance or rebellion of our meek and calloused hands. We may be your slaves; but you are just slaves of the WHITE COLLAR. A truly righteous and liberated man is he who has no servant; but serves and loves all mankind.
Who are we? Who are you? Our collar is cut lowest, a deeper shade of blue.

The following was published in my college Biannual Literary Magazine--'DRIFTWOOD' (2002 I think) It was inspired after the actions (and continuing actions of the United States--in response to Terror attacks); I felt it appropriate to repost here in wake of the RECENT INCIDENT in INDIA.
'IT DOES NOT CONCERN ME'
By Brett A. Encelewski
Children slowly die from starvation, in blistering hunger. Their bellies fill and expand with need. The eyes roll back into their infantile skulls in sunken misery. They bathe their chapped skin out of the same stagnant pool civilization has allotted them, and then quench their thirst with the same water. It does not concern me; I am an American.
Behemoths of death glide over the unforgiving surface of the gentle and delicate oceans. They send the carcasses of their steel kin to the bottom, to bleed their toxins into the gills of the children of the drink. They drag their screens of doom, raping the vitality of the deep blue sea. It does not concern me; I tend to the vitality of America.
A market place erupts into a macabre spray of fire, shredded produce, and the flesh of men, women and children. Religious patriots lob crudely constructed explosives into crowds. They reap the crimson glory for Allah, for Christ, and for Jesus. It does not concern me; I am a citizen of a great nation under God.
Whole countries bolster their economy on growing, producing, and manufacturing illicit substances. They aid international militants in their quests of terror. They slash down the great grandfather trees without an ounce of respect for their age, their function, or themselves. They fight, kill and die for primitive non-renewable resources. With great effort they smuggle their poisons through our borders. It does not concern me; I am an American consumer, and they can do what they want.
Men achieve great feats of martyrdom and bring down majestic mountains of steel and glass and gold. Brits lose lives, Japs lose lives, Frenchman lose lives. They all lose lives. Americans lose lives, and the streets of Babylon are filled with the dead. I am America, and I shall make the world pay the price, and cooperate with my vengeance lest they face my wrath.
When done, her hellfire spent, the beaten and weary citizens of a crumbled nation shall arise to see their crushed cities smoldering from the helping hand of America. It is a punishing hand, a disciplined hand. She shall feed them, and clothe them, and dictate their new government. Then the small men, the silent women, and the quivering children shall look up at the ominous figure of Lady Liberty and say “thank-you” to their great savior. They will have to rebuild the cities, and pick-up the dead, because America has done the hard part for them. But when the refugees come knocking at her door, she shall swat them like diseased flies, turn them away, and send them back to the dusty little hole that they came from. It does not concern me; I am an American, and that is the way it should be.

I was thinking to myself again about the classic hypocrasy and injustice of matters/issues regarding "ECONOMICS" and "SOCIO-POLITICAL ISSUES" when discriminating/ discerning PUBLIC or PRIVATE jurisdictions and/or the enforcement of the U.S. Constitutional Civil Liberties governing them.
Ergo:
Ultra-Liberals (in America more appropriately called "SOCIAL LIBERALS"/ aka the "Far Left" are the Ultimate Social and Political Hedonists. Wanting what they want, when they want it, how they want it; from whom they want it from; it what combination they want it in; as quickly and as conveniently as possible; with little or NO regard for current or past moral, cultural, or social tradition, norms, or morays. MAXIMUM liberties; MAXIMUM benefits; WELFARE-STATE; SOCIALIZED HEALTHCARE; any number of personal economic systems--socialized after that;
SOCIAL LIBERALS. "SOCIALISTS." They like to call themselves "Progressives," but THEY ARE, indeed, NOT.
PROGRESSIVES; are painstakingly disciplined; conservative or liberal (usually moderate) socioeconomic political producers. That's a fact; JACK.
NOW--SOCIAL LIBERALS say things like "Live and let live..." interestingly (in theory) the cry of the Libertarian or Classical Liberal. Only the Classical Liberal and the Libertarian MEANS IT.
...while a REPUBLICAN would say: "Live and let DIE..."
Classical Liberals et al. are MONDO-SERIOUS about CIVIL LIBERTIES, PRIVACY, etc.
NOW; here is the hypocracy; A group--take your GAY RIGHTS movement; marches down on the STATE and/or FEDERAL scene; thereby making themselves PUBLIC; attempting to affect sweeping PUBLIC change.
IN THE PROCESS--groups of them viciously interfere with their peaceful opposers RIGHT TO FREE SPEECH (in PUBLIC); and RIGHT TO ASSEMBLY; now if that protestor group was a formal group; they could be BROUGHT TO TRIAL...
NOW; again--as a political paradigm/school: SOCIAL LIBERALS; who are so big into "Live and Let Live" right?
Well then--why is it that the SOCIAL LEFT interferes (for many, many decades now) with SO MANY of our PRIVATE MATTERS?
A child's RIGHT to read a BIBLE in SCHOOL!?
A Blue Collar working-poor family's RIGHT to 100% of their PRIVATE BUSINESS earnings (INCOME); or EVEN;
A successful Upper-Middle-Class entrepenuer's RIGHT to 100% of his BUSINESS earnings?
"ALL DEBTS PUBLIC and PRIVATE"
WHAT CONSTITUTIONAL PRECENDANT and "RIGHT" DOES the SOCIALIST LEFT have to STEAL anyone's money? Even if it is EARMARKED for "SOCIALIST" programs. So tell me the distinction? How is it different.
It is the BIGGEST SCAM IN THE HISTORY OF THE WORLD! Most educated people (that acquiesce to paying SOCIAL SECURITY) know that 70-85% or more of it goes into pasting people's heads against the wall in the Middle East...).
The SOCIALIST, FACIST, LEFT--thinks it can get away with anything; taking prayer, and bibles from our schools; inserting facist Office of Child Safety agents into our lives to keep us from disciplining our children properly; While crack-heads rape their daughters across the street.
Tell our son's they cannot wear political or provoctive speech T-shirts; but allow girls to run around looking like WHORES. (interesting double-standard).
We may as well get rid of the white stripes on Old Glory and just put the Big Bird on there (emulated from the Roman Empire).
So SQUEAL about "Live and let live." But the SOCIALIST LEFT needs to STAY OUT OF OUR LIVES; LEAVE OUR CHILDREN; OUR PAYCHECKS; OUR STATES RIGHTS; etc, alone first. I am the LAST person to tread on YOU or your business... but YOU are ALL UP IN ON MINE.
But many people are not fooled--many people are not decieved by the reverse-psychology; the pity-call of the SOCIALIST.
If were going to do it--lets do it. Go big Red! Only thing is Alaska's Flag will stay blue; and Fly ALONE.
God preserve the Congress; and God preserve America.

As we attempt to coalesce, coexist; and build the party together--in all our diverse views, philosphies, theologies, ideologies, and especially political agenda--
We must be especially aware and VIGILANT; within the Democratic Party; of the far Left, Ultra-Liberal quasi-professional (or even professional--some even being payed by SPECIAL INTEREST GROUPS)...
BIGOT-MONGERS. What is a "Bigot-Monger" you ask? Well we all know what a "Bigot" is. Now, a BIGOT-MONGER is someone who would call ME a "BIGOT" for merely writing this post on BIGOT-MONGERING... lol.
They are akin to the same hen-house breed of garden-variety SCANDEL-MONGERS; common to any hair salon. Furrowed, hateful, accussatory (guilty?) brows; pointing, trempling, intense index fingers...
BIIIIIIIGGGOOOOTTTT! YOU! You HATE [*insert group here*] REPENT, CONFESS!
Like any group of pitiful, feeble witch-hunters; the scour the community for signs of dissidence against their agenda; their weapon of choice; REVERSE-HATE; BIGOT-MONGERING.
What is VERY, VERY, sad; is that the Type-B far-left ultra-liberal innocent is oft duped by this agenda; and scared into submission; usually having NOTHING to do with the agenda of the group; or perhaps even STRINGENTLY disagreeing with it--however; manipulated and intimidated inot submission with REVERSE-HATE and PSYCHOLOGY and BIGOT-MONGERING;
"Don't speak out Karl, you don't want to be labled a Gay-basher!" or
"David--you should say those things about 14 year old girls wearing coochie-cutting denim-shorts, G-strings, and v-neck m-drifts in Junior high; you might get labled an Anti-Feminist or a Sauvinist!"
PEOPLE; in the name Christ, the Holy Mother, God and all the Saints; BEWARE of the BIGOT MONGERS! Be strong for your Family, for your State, for Country, and for your God.
Stand up for the Family, Stand up for Tradition, Stand up the preservation of a healthy society; Stand up AGAINST TRUE HATE-MONGERING and BIGOT-MONGERING;
God preserve the Congress; and God bless America. C.P.Q.A.
