TELL ME WHY, TELL ME WHY.....

     Remember the trips with the little ones when all they would do was to ask "why" and when answered asked "why" about the answer. It was their mouths and minds working with their eyes to try to understand the world. Today is my question day, my "why" day. Answers? Ha!!
     Why do we have an imbecile for a President?
     Why did we even allow such a man to run?
     Why are there no minimum limits per sense and values, morals, before one is allowed to run for office?
     Is there no group with which this man does not pick a fight?
     Why does this man have a pitifully limited vocabulary limited to the vulgar and the obscene?
     Why does this man not show a decency and modicum of respect towards others?
     Why does this man act as a terrible twos toddler in dealing with others?
     When and how is this dangerous feud with Kim Jong Un going to stop?
     Are we on the brink of nuclear disaster?
     Why are so many asking the same questions, raising the same concerns?
     Why do so many comment on the unsuitability of this man for President?
     Why does this man ignore the pleas for help coming from the darkness of Puerto Rico, the destruction on the islands even as he finds time to curse our people?
     Why do we have an administration that runs on greed and gimme, gimme tactics?
     Why does Secretary Price use luxury charters to take his little trips - on our back!?
     Why are our allies deserting us?
     Why are our foes rejoicing in our current situation?
     Why are the Republicans so anti humanity?
     Why do the Republicans wish to destroy the healthcare of millions?
     Why have the Republicans forgotten their roots as the party of Lincoln?
     Why have we been returning to the days of old - in a non romantic manner - and encouraging or allowing hate and hate groups to prosper?
     What is the matter with those women who allow the alt right to grow, who support it at the expense of their own rights and humanity?
     How indeed could any woman have voted or still support this man and his followers of the basest base ever?
     How do we condone the forcible arrest of non participants in a protest due to use of "kettling' - a contemptuous technique for rounding up "protesters" as if they are animals, fish to be kettled and cooked!!?
     How will we run this country when we do not pass the required bills in order to do so?
    Are we facing rebellion in the streets that amount to a revolt? Is that what these increasingly violent protests will become? Whose fault is that?
     Why do we have a President who seeks and cherishes the support of white supremacists?
     Why are we chasing after frightened immigrants?
     Why are we going after contributing members of our society simply because they were children and were taken here by their parents looking for a better world, a better future?
     Why do we have an administration where nepotism and cronyism are right back in the forefront?
     Why do we allow petty dictators in all aspects of our lives to grow and prosper?
     Why do we allow others to cancel our rights?
     When have we lost the sense of what it means to be an American - and to be proud of being American?
     When have we allowed other countries to interfere with our internal and yes, even external, activities and processes?
     Since when do we go to the brink on each and every foreign policy issue?
     Since when is foul language, nasty name calling and deaf ears part and parcel of American policy?
     Today is our 50th wedding anniversary, a day we embrace with great joy and thankfulness, but will we be able to celebrate our 51st in the America that we were born into, that we love and cherish? Where is my answer?
