And on they run. All those bunnies. All those truths denying little critters, heading for the hills, or seeking those magic tree holes, to slide down to a Mad Hatter world, and to slither to and through the sewers where they apparently were born, raised and lived, imbibing the worst of human qualities. We often judge a person by the company he keeps, and all this mess is simply proof of the truth of that particular pudding. You know, dogs and fleas, etc.
Unfortunately, we are left with the very disturbing, discouraging mess that has been placed on us, around us. We have had to slog through layers of filth, of perverted reasoning, of oath swearing legislators betraying their promises, shirking their responsibilities, and buying into a personality cult which embraced a most disgusting critter of all. Perhaps the most frightening and unrest, unease generating aspect is the allegiance to a crazed, hyper, venomous Christianity, one which truly rather ignores the values of a true Christian. I am lucky enough to have wonderful friendships with true Christians and I worry over the growth of extreme religion, all the crazed, society dividing requests and demands it puts forth.
From Green to Boebert, to Gohmert, to Perry, to Mast, to DeSantis, to AOC, to Tlaib, to any number of legislators, governors, who are willing, anxious, driven, to attack the foundations of American democracy, to gnaw, to chop, to rot, all and sundry. What is left for us to do? Even as we lay bare the truth, the filth, the treason, of Jan. 6, all that went before and that which ensued, and incredibly remains alive, even as... we meet with continuing believers of evil, or those who work hard at encouraging outlandish, perverse behavior as they themselves supposedly spout truth, barely coating over the rabble-rousing words and memes they spew forth.
Yes, I was correct in my blog postings. Yes, I stated and predicted well in front of all the truths now emerging and damn it! Wish I had been wrong. What is worse, is the fact that I see nowhere for this nation to go, every option blown apart, forced down a path to the demolition of democracy and a dreary, frightening world in which to survive - not live, but survive. When the elected protectors, or alleged protectors, guardians, of the nation turn traitor, kowtow in adoration and fear before a manifestly disturbed being, so off track beyond adequate words to explain him, well, what is left? Whom are we to trust? Who will have OUR 6? Who will watch our back rather than stabbing us in that same back? We must try to hear the raspy, deep throated plea of Bonnie Tyler as she calls for a hero. We must be those heroes
We must be our own heroes, lest all is lost.
We will face demands that frighten one deep into an already besieged soul. That little bird of hope needs to keep moving, attacked by vicious attackers on one side, and weak response, even apathy, on the other. We must feed that bird a steady diet of vitamins of courage, strength and determination. We must partake of the same diet. Drink from the same fountain. Grow the same attributes of seekers of justice, of fair play, of equality, of a future, positive and bright, if we all contribute. If we value truth and honor. Decency. And ruthlessly root out the rot which remains, within and without.
The Supreme Court has lost its honor, perverted its mandated role in our governmental structure. It is playing obstructive, partisan politics, lost its way, much to our detriment. It removes all heart and hope as it opens up gun ownership and carry rights, as it openly has a traitor married to a Justice, perverted himself, and never should have been installed. To the three most dangerous Trump appointees and the collusion of GOP chieftains in denying any other appointee the time of day, a modicum of honor and respect. So low have we fallen. So cheaply do we hold dear the lives of women. And frankly, unless we impeach some, or someone dies, there is no hope for the correction of this situation that spells doom for us. We have entered most dangerous waters, foundering, even as they proceed to undo every past and future decision to be made. As they ignore precedent, unless it is inimical to a just and safe society.
The Justices these infamous SIX, bring shame upon us, spurn our history, as they overturn every one of societal changing decisions, the ones which endowed this nation with social attributes, with hope for those who were "the wretched refuse" of "teeming shores", who came here in and with the hopes to do better, to be better, to move society forward. In an environment true to itself, rather than to the corrupt, to the crazed.
To reiterate yesterday's posting - I am confused. I have conflicting hope and despair. What I do know is that we have little time in which to decide where we stand as a nation, what future we are going to engender.
Ours to choose.
Ours to lose.
To be our heroes - or cowards and traitors.
“just say the election was corrupt and leave the rest to me and the Republican congressmen”
So directed Trump on Dec. 27, 2020, to the man serving as Attorney General in the last days of Trump's perverse reign.
Do you continue to deny the truth?
We must refute that attitude. Must. MUST.
