I think Americans can afford to "not like politics" because we are comfortable (part of the silly reason I thought it was ok to remain a plebe while I had a chance to not be). That's coming to an end soon I think. I've suspected for a long time, especially since 2000 when I started watching the gold market (currency markets whisper reality), that the reactionaries have been preparing for the time when Americans are not so comfortable and may begin to find politics interesting.
When I first heard the term Left in the MSM I felt the set-up. I mean, it took me years to find the Left. It wasn't mentioned in the papers! It wasn't even mentioned in college when you were studying an author who might have been a socialist.
The Left was unveiled so as to familiarize certain people with the reason they had suddenly become uncomfortable. Jerry Falwell missed his cue. But he got his lines right.
If you listen to talk radio or watch the Christian networks for long enough, you will hear someone talking about the so-called Left. They will be calling for it's, their, imprisonment and/or elimination.
