I feel like America is the proverbial frog in the pan of cold water on the stove. It’s turned on and heating, and will soon boil, but we won’t feel a thing when done that way, so we’ll sit and boil and fry and die, and we’ll do it quietly.
We should be talking about overthrow, impeachment, secession, coups, SOMETHING SERIOUS!!!
But we won’t. We’ll just search the internet for .22 bullets, mostly in vain, and practically give up trying to buy a subcompact .380 pistol (never mind the ammo!!) for our CCW license (which will probably be illegal soon)…………tasks I did yesterday. Then we’ll get on the internet hunting chat sites and pregnant dog and moan and gripe, like I’m doing now. Many of us will write our Legiscritters, like I did, and get a form letter back that basically says that they are right, I am wrong, and to hush.
Then we can surf over to our 401K site and find out whether it’s become a 201K or a 101K today. We can get on the phone and talk to a co-worker who, like us, made it through last week’s layoffs, probably by the skin of our teeth. Finally we can get a cup of coffee and go sit on the front porch and contemplate how we’ve played the game fairly for 3-Score years and when the finish line is in site, the entire game and venue and rules changed.
I would say “I don’t know how we got here” but I do. It’s all backlash against the last guy we had. Folks would have voted for Genghis Khan if he was in the ‘other party’ this time. We can spin our wheels defending him (as I have done repeatedly) but it’s just simple truth. Perception trumps reality, always. And W was such a poor rep of ‘our side’ that he inadvertently led the revolt against us all. What we got was not a middle-of-road opponent, but the single most liberal member of the U.S. Senate in HISTORY. He won’t change his spots as President. And since we don’t have the Parliamentary system, we’re stuck with him. Worse, the idiots that have been behind the scenes, sort of, in Congress for all these years are now a member of the “Ruling Class” and are flaunting both their ignorance and arrogance at every turn. Even worse, there appears to be no valid representative of “our side” that will be a good Champion of what is right. Most of them are just as bad, in other ways.
This leads me to believe that BOTH sides suck big donkey knobs and I’m quite frankly fed up with the whole lot of ‘em, and the entire system. Not one person within 100 miles of Washington, DC, goes through the day doing things even remotely like I’d want them done. Not once. And I’m not going to watch the News report on it all, nor am I going to listen to some nannyhead blabber at what he calls a “Press Conference” but which is really a lovefest worship session. I’m going to get in the closet and get my Ostrich suit.
And this is just the first 70 days.
