To Be Right Is Not Enough!

In the long aftermath of this contentious administration, I have come away with one thought: Tis better to be the Screwer than the screwee.
For nearly five years now Americans of good faith and honest intentions have been on the receiving end of abuse after abuse. They have borne these abuses in the understanding that that by their sacrifices they are protecting their homelands against the threat of terrorism.
Well, I'm here to say it is all a smokescreen designed to beat us into submission and then walk all over us. And, unfortunately, we have stood still for it. The truth is that there is a likelihood of another terrorist attack--and with all the sacrifices we have made, we are not one iota safer than we were. But on the other hand, our sacrifices have made it possible for this government to do as it likes to fill its coffers, put its friends in office who are incompetent and self-interested and advance the best interests of a very few who care little about the needs of the small guys who make this country work. We have yet to understand what has been done to us; but we will. And we will not tolerate it. This government has reduced our faith in government, it has poisoned our minds against those who were once our friends, it has shipped our jobs off to Never land and it has ended manufacturing in this country as we know it as a sop to its friends and contributors short term interests. If nobody else will do anything about it, it will fall upon us to precipitate change in what we hope will be a rational and peaceful way; but if we don't change peacefully, we must all be prepared to do that which is necessary to save the world and our families.

Enduring the lies, the deceptions, the deceit and the arrogant ways of this ruling junta is only the way to enduring paralysis and our own defeat in those things that define us as human beings.

We must harden our hearts and minds to what lies ahead.
