As a Native Oklahoman, raised by expatriates in the SF Bay Area for most of my youth, I have long wondered what Oklahoma would be like if most of its best and brightest didn't flee at the first opportunity...

Due to mere longevity I am now the owner of my grandfather's home, the home I was first taken to after my birth and one I knew well as a child, and I am also a taxpayer in the "Sooner State". The wide access to information and news provided by the Internet allows me to keep in close touch with events there and I have also been contributing small amounts to local candidates, subscribing to the excellent statewide DemOkie site and getting regular newsletters from the local Party as well. As a responsible landlord I have visited the property twice this year and absorbed as much as I could about the economy and the politics of the area while clearing and trimming and going to the dump, the local Lowe's and hoistin' a few at the nearby tavern.

I cut my political teeth in this town, Shawnee... When just a boy of 12 I got bit hard by the political bug, a bite I'm sure is not unknown to Buzz Flash readers. I volunteered in a local legislative campaign in the early spring of 1968, working for a younger Democrat running for an open seat whom I had met while working at a local restaurant. I spent many hours that spring and many long days and nights all summer long pounding the pavement, and the mud and dust of many unpaved lanes in "South Town" over the tracks, knocking on doors, posting literature and on weekends doing street corner straw polling.

1968 was the roll-out year for the Nixonian "Southern Strategy" and I had both a front row seat to exactly how that worked and a microcosmic crystal ball that could see clearly the future fault lines of American politics. It was written on the faces of the thousands of farmers and their families who, in the days before Walmart and the Interstate sucked the downtown dry, crowded Main St every weekend. In their pained expressions as they took in my HHH button while filling out my straw poll, almost to a man they split the ticket neatly, voting for Nixon (or Wallace) for President and Bellmon for Governor followed by a straight line of Democrats... 

By this time, the general Election, I was an old pro having seen and learned much while attending the 1968 State and National Conventions, I was a page at both events, and I was unsurprised in November when Nixon edged Humphrey and Oklahoma elected a Republican Governor for the first time, beginning a trend that would see most of the Democratic Delegates that I had travelled to Chicago with, become Republicans...

This was repeated across a dozen States in the South and West as the electorate began to redivide itself, in large part along racial lines with whites not only fleeing the inner cities but also the Democratic Party. Today this division is the "norm", Republican Conventions are a sea of staid white faces, while Democratic ones are a cacophony of roiling diversity...

So what's wrong with Oklahoma? Why do they put forward these apparent charlatans, why do they continue to vote against their own self interest in supporting politicians who consistently vote with the almost feudal economic interests, usually placing an even greater burden on the working people while carving out some new goodies for oil and gas or insurance or finance...? I ask myself, have they forgotten their own history? Don't they recall the "Roaring" 1920's, in the middle of a long run of Republican Presidents, when the Depression that eventually hit the nation in '29 had already begun on Oklahoma farms by '24? Without FDR, Oklahoma would have dried up and blown away... Without LBJ, South Town and hundreds of places just like it, or worse, would still be a collection of shacks without pavement, sewers or streetlights. Since WW II the Federal Government has poured billions into the State in the form of farm subsidies, flood control, rural electrification, schools, the Interstates, scores of military bases and billions in defense spending on aviation... Today more Oklahomans work for the various levels of Government than do the residents of 45 other states and 22% of Oklahomans are receiving socialistic benefits from Social Security, from the Federal Government...

The next largest employer would seem to be the combined Indian Tribes, mostly in gaming, but they also maintain extensive social welfare systems of their own... The casinos are big and glitzy but if you need alcoholism treatment or help with the power bill you're much more likely to get it if you are a member of the Citizen-Pottawatomie, or a Cherokee or Sac and Fox, than otherwise... That worm has already turned...

So what was the lesson learned? That things are changin' out on the prairie? Yes, they are changing, but some of the new fault lines are very troubling. Racial barriers are becoming less public and all the more deeply ingrained at the same time, due, it would seem, to the increasing and self imposed isolation of the white community and their inability to see clearly that they share not only values with their brethren but that they will also share the same fate... Unemployment, illness without access to care, poverty in old age and more importantly the lack of a proper and needed education for their young. This is the inevitable result of the policies favored by the wealthy, the pure propaganda blared incessantly from talk radio and the Fox noise machine, heard every Sunday from pulpits riven with hypocrisy and peddled disingenuously by flag-wrapped Republicans.

And thus we have Inhofe and Coburn, who are to this writer, and should be to all Oklahomans, deeply embarrassing. Both Senators have amply demonstrated that they have nothing constructive to add to the discussion, both have an obvious penchant for showmanship and each in his own way has found a niche in the astroturf spectacular coming to a Congressional District near you, next fall...

The Senate as an institution no longer functions as it was designed, it is no longer the world greatest deliberative body but rather it has become a macabre stage upon which they act out an elaborate dance for the cameras. Staging public dramas for the benefit of their respective "bases", the Parties play to the peanut gallery each plucking the strings most pleasing to the ears most attuned to those notes, while placing provincial and personal demands, blatantly and without even the slightest nod to higher purpose, on the process in exchange for allowing it to go forward, like a toll paid to the trolls for a crossing.

Mexican politics has been profoundly altered by the enfranchisement of the expatriate community... Perhaps a similar thing can happen in the Midwest... Perhaps if we who have fled to more friendly climates, both natural and social, turned some of our attentions toward our former home states and worked with what family members and old classmates remain there to help move the discussion forward, at least to work with the young, so that at some point in the future ex-Texans, we transplanted Okies, the millions from the Plains and the Midwest who now call the coasts or the bigger cities home can look back, or even go back (to visit...) without that shudder, that silent acknowledgement that we best be on our guard, that, as JFK is said to have remarked to Jackie as they left the hotel for the Trademart that fateful morning, "We're headed for nut country"... 

A sort of political Marshall Plan for the Heartland... While we rebuild the tattered infrastructure of our great nation, we should also look to building bridges with the Other America, the real Left Behind... Howard's 50 state strategy writ large!

Unfortunately, I know other doctors like this who cloak their hatred of the "other" behind a religious facade.  Thank God for Senator Byrd; what a powerhouse at 92!  Wishing death on another human being is bad karma, but I guess that idea would be lost on Sen. "Doc" Coburn!  Merry Christmas to all!
