Fresh on the heels of the Republican
National Convention in Tampa, Florida, the Democratic wing of the one-party
bird is set to begin their own three-day circus party in the city of Charlotte,
North Carolina. As is the case every year, both parties either have or will be
accompanied with the symbols of freedom that every American has come to know and
love – militarized police, random checkpoints, warrantless searches, and a
virtual lockdown of the entire area surrounding the convention.
Of
course, while the average person who lives, works, and produces in the general
area is subjected to, at best, a major inconvenience of their daily routine and,
at worst, a gross violation of their Constitutional rights under a police state
crackdown, many of the more upscale attendees of the DNC will enjoy what amounts
to royal immunity as they skirt about town and partake of some of the finest
women (or men) and drugs that money can buy.
The difference between the
2012 DNC and all the others, however, is the openness in which both the revelry
and police state will take place. For instance, even the local Charlotte media
is openly publishing articles about the annual powder party known as the
DNC.
A local publication, Creative Loafing,
actually published an article by Christina Wilkie and Ryan Pitkin, entitled “Dirty
Politics: Charlotte’s underground hungrily awaits the DNC,” where the
authors interviewed individuals ranging from small time drug dealers to police
and club owners. What they reported was that virtually all of the Charlotte
“underworld” was eagerly awaiting the coming convention in hopes that bulk sales
and wealthy partiers will provide easy and plentiful money during the three days
of the event.
