My name is K Taylor Allerton, and this the first post in my new blog, American Fervor. What is American Fervor? It's an exploration of the pertinent points that never seem to get made in modern American political discourse. It's about everything that never seems to be mentioned when one side puts on the red vest and one side puts on the blue for yet another round of our never ending national game of dodge ball.
As I write this, the crowds occupying various cities around our nation are growing, demanding change in a broken system. Those who disparage them liken them to hippies in the 60's, intending to either underestimate their impact or sound an alarm against their potential, while those who support the action nevertheless seem to focus on the lack of focus without seeming to realize that the collection of grievances being expressed are not separate issues but simply different serpents sprouting from the head of the same gorgon: our government is bought and sold, and has ceased to be concerned with or accountable to the citizens it is intended to represent. My intention with American Fervor is to provide information, discussion, perspective that will enable Americans to think about issues in ways not fed to them by the narrow parameters of our media, to become aware of what is going on around us, which is necessary if we are to do anything about it.
Respect and actually making pertinent points, instead of simply trying to score points, is essential for participation. With that in mind, I invite you to participate. Thank you.
American Fervor, an American political/current events blog that offers an impassioned perspective on issues affecting the implementation, restoration and preservation of freedom, liberty and justice in America. The problem isn't so much about left and right as it is about everything that gets left out.
