I Agree With the Message Despite the Messenger

I think that the administration and congress are finally doing something about the hopelessness past offenders experience. I can’t imagine what it must be like to be trapped in such a cycle.

I will say that it’s hard to get folk to listen to your plea for compassion when you twitter handle reads like hers.

It’s a Crying Shame

Eighty Years. It’s been 80 years since Neville Chamberlain proved conclusively that appeasement in the face of a growing threat only strengthens that threat.

It’s a real shame that (probably) seventy percent of our population has no idea who Chamberlain was, what he did, and what the results of this dolt and his actions were. Show the little poster above to a hundred folk and less than 30 would have any idea of its meaning.

Here’s a good idea, lets put a bunch of communists and socialist in charge of our educational system. Let’s put them in classroom to shape the minds of our kids. That’ll ensure that in the future we can completely forget about the ugly truth of our past and free ourselves to live the nightmare again.

Our Many Blessings

I stumbled across this picture on the Eye of Photography website the other day and it struck me that I often forget of the many privileges being a resident of the US has. Knowing that I am a natural born citizen and could never be shipped out/back to a shit-hole country gives great peace of mind.

In no way am I denigrating the folk that live in what must be great despair, but rather I look on their plight and am further encouraged to fight the systems, philosophy, and manipulations that would drag our nation in that direction.

So when the Trumpster uses coarse words, spoken un-artfully, to slap around the idiots that would take us there, I cheer him on. I don’t think it’s the time to mince words or play nice. If many, many feelings are bruised by his language then so be it.

What an Amazing Country

The US is so great and capitalism is so strong a system that they allow an absolute idiot, who has never held a real job, become a multi-millionaire, brand his name, obtain 3 houses and have an army of mindless nitwits support him to rule the country not once, but twice…..all while advocating for socialism!
