Over a decade ago a song of this title was a hit. Today its title is quite appropriate to our times and the contents of this posting and indeed the majority of this blog's postings. In fact, and in inferences, there is a fire burning, a conglomeration of many fires. Many were preventable but never addressed. Or, they were addressed negatively, most harmfully, by further addition of fuel to the fire.
The dance floor is getting progressively, aggressively, under attack, the result being a more restricted dance floor, cutting some people off despite their equally paid dues, making that limitation permanent by destruction of further pieces of the floor. In fact, the exclusion of so many has increased, perhaps beyond any possibility to re-form, re-shape and re-build that besieged, disappearing dance floor, the one with adequate and welcoming space for all.
There is no doubt that those opposed to sharing the dance floor, even having that dance floor continue to exist, are determined to stoke that fire and remove any stabilizing planks and foundation structure which support its continued centrality and importance to this nation. No 911 in the picture. No acceptance of aid in putting out that fire from anyone not of their oh so merry exclusive club.
Who are these party poopers? A group far more dangerous in reality than their grossly inappropriate, almost comical acts of dementia and irresponsible desertion of the American ethos suggests. There are no red lines for them, crossing them at will, jeering and thumbing their noses at the ever more confused and shocked opposition who cannot believe this is actually happening. That those sworn to defend this country, to ensure its prosperity and security, to watch over the rights of all are actually, actively, in real time doing the opposite. They have turned traitor to their own country, modern day Bénédict Arnolds. American quislings - who vaunt their outrageousness openly.
Whoops! There goes another plank or two of the floor as fiercely partisan unethical judges go along with their fellow extreme political compadres as they attempt to further limit the rights of women, their ability, and competence, to be able to make their own health and in fact, all decisions re their own lives. Chattelization of women is now just over the hill, its vanguard quite visible, the sounds of hobnailed boots stomping hard on the roadway quite loud in one's ears.
Their now favorite go-to tactic is thus:
"The power of the purse is not some intermittent thing… It's something we have to wield day in and day out to achieve victory."
Even as their goal is clear to all, as this statement says - "Republicans are no longer a political party, but a cult following Donald Trump's orders. Holding government funding hostage in order to protect the four-time indicted former president is irresponsible at best, and dangerous at worst." they deny it as they will. As they defend a four time, multi counts of acts of criminal and treasonous behavior. They defend the traitor. They worship his evil. They goggle in admiration and jealousy as he succeeded in crippling this nation, in driving irremovable spikes into the psyche of the nation. Even as he burns the dance floor vigorously, tauntingly, as he states ad nauseum, of his being above the law, admitting the crimes but claiming immunity for all, forever. Truly, a King in the making and there already in his own vile mind. A tried and true arsonist of America's integrity and positive future.
Goetz, Tuberville, Boebert, Greene, McCarthy, and oh so many more so generously gifted to us - and aided by the ugly hatreds and biases of Democrats such as Omar, Tlaib, AOC, Bush, Presley, Bowman and others of their ugly ilk. How is it that we have allowed these obviously inappropriate people into office, even to run for office in the first place. Why is there not a requirement other than age and birth that qualifies one for office? Morality? Honesty?
It boggles my mind as I read of mass determination and campaigns to keep a show on TV or streaming. I read of organizations who will march forever for anything - other than for political issues. Yes, there are those who do march,who speak up, but not enough, nor loud enough, not forceful enough to put out that fire and rebuild better, stronger than ever before. Lesson learned.
It is that power of exponentially grown and multiplied, amplified voice of the many as one that will serve us well - only if we find all the voices to create and empower it.
That can only be done via a determined unity, a togetherness. Without excuses for creepy politicians trying to masquerade as caring, ethical, useful beings. We need to encourage and embolden those who know what is right but have not the courage yet to actually commit to the difficult and challenging path of the morally correct. However, with a strong united front, before, after and beside, these voices will also join in and together, together, always together perhaps with hard work and determination we can succeed in putting down that fire and rebuilding, better, stronger. But time grows short, water increasingly scarce. Time? NOW.
Together, always together.
Together, united for good.
Together.
Together.
We can heal the nation.
HEAL THE WORLD.
HEAL YITZY!
