I will quote myself from 2008:
“The danger to America is not Barack Obama, but a citizenry capable of entrusting a man like him with the Presidency. It will be far easier to limit and undo the follies of an Obama presidency than to restore the necessary common sense and good judgment to a depraved electorate willing to have such a man for their president. The problem is much deeper and far more serious than Mr. Obama, who is a mere symptom of what ails America . Blaming the prince of fools should not blind anyone to the vast confederacy of fools that made him their prince. The Republic can survive a Barack Obama, who is, after all, merely a fool. It is less likely to survive a multitude of fools, such as those who made him their President.”
Do I need to state the obvious? Yes, perhaps I do. But that is the point, is it not? Some things, if they have to be said, cannot be heard.
I realize that much of this posting stems from an emotionally primitive need to control people. I control no one, obviously, and there has never been any reason to think that I did. But the NEED is still there. I see this now.
I am a Pisces. I go this way, then that way. As I put it to someone the other day “if we are not active enthusiasts we tend to be depressed. Sometimes both in one day.”
I am not depressed. I am self focused. I am trying to learn to live with our future, and with the non-zero possibility the lunatics will lock me up for some reason or other. This is not irrational: they are actively calling for concentration camps, and no senior leaders in either party seem to be capable of expressing the appropriate amount of horror at this idea, in AMERICA, which used to mean something to members of both parties, and to all our citizens generally, ESPECIALLY those who came here from actively oppressive regimes.
The most useful rebellion I can commit right now is to try and become a more complete person. Perhaps a miracle is in our future, but most likely not.
