“Oh beautiful,
for heroes proved,
In liberating
strife,
Who more than
self, our country loved,
And mercy more
than life”
The
United States of America was a great country, deeply flawed, as all are, but one
always striving to improve, to progress, determined to correct past mistakes, grievous
inequities and societal injustices; and one with an enlightened Constitution,
set of laws, purposely planned structure, and a seemingly inherent and innate
sense of fairness and decency that allowed it to successfully, albeit
frequently chaotically and messily, do so; inching ever so closer to fulfilling that noble goal of becoming a "more perfect union."
Sadly
and tragically, in less than a year and a half of historically, unprecedented
corruption, malfeasance, ignorance, hatred, bigotry, thieving, lying, fraud, indecency,
subversion and astonishing stupidity, that wonderful nation has perished. In
its place is a vulgar obscenity, an offensive and lewd insult to that beacon of
liberty, equality and opportunity that millions had given their lives to
preserve and protect. Instead, the
entity that now occupies that glorious landmass reaching from magnificent ocean
to magnificent ocean, “sea to shining sea,” and quite erroneously still
labeling itself as the United States of America, is an Oligarchic dictatorship,
a Banana Republic, with no adherence or allegiance to the Constitution, with
liberty and justice, not for all, but for the privileged few, where the poor
and middle class sacrifice to further enrich the wealthy, where crime and
punishment are determined by status and class, where divisiveness, sexism,
bigotry, hatred and ignorance are encouraged and well rewarded.
This new nation, not conceived in liberty, nor
dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal, is a perfect
reflection of the sociopathic criminal and treasonous enemy of the state that
now sullies the White House, the people’s house, and perhaps, even more catastrophically
and more permanently damaging is the sorrowful reality that this rapidly deteriorating,
declining and failing homeland equally represents those who empowered this
devil on earth.
To
have cast a ballot for Donald Trump, can be munificently forgiven as a regrettable
blunder, a serious political faux pas. To continue to support this domestic adversary,
who toils not for country or Constitution, but for himself and the Russian
powers who aided his ascent, is pure treason, and paints those who do so no
less an enemy than the diminutively digited, tangerine tyrant. The Republicans, the Evangelicals
and the Christian Conservatives, who defend and laud his every foul word and deed, seem, not just incapable of logical
judgement concerning this supreme sinner, but even worshipful of their new own
personal Jesus, have consistently demonstrated nothing but indecency, immorality,
and traitorous behavior, all whilst clutching Bible to chest, waving the Stars
and Stripes and vociferously proclaiming patriotism, loyalty and fealty to the
history, tradition, values and principles they so callously and roundly reject. Donald Trump is assuredly mentally ill, what
excuse do those who elected and enable him have?
“America,
America, may God thy gold refine,
Till all success
be nobleness
And every gain
devined.”
