Republican Lawmakers Are Weasels

Blog, , ,

If you are a republican lawmaker and you have been silent after our free and fair election, and throughout the transition from the current administration to the Biden administration, you are a coward, a weasel, and a traitor. You make Benedict Arnold look like Mary Poppins. Via your quietude, you are complicit in hurting our great democracy and should hang your head in shame. Nonetheless, we the people will overcome your ugly divisive loser victim mentality. It will not be easy. It will in fact be the Mount Everest of righting the wrongs of the last four years. We will however meet the challenge, reaffirm our basic democratic values and reach the summit. We are Americans. True Americans. Decent Americans. We don’t have to physically hug the American flag to prove our loyalty and love for our country. We just do. Stay strong in your resistance. Stay safe.

Don’t they know evil when they see it?

Earlier, I watched a film about a farmer in Austria in 1943 who faced execution for refusing to pledge his loyalty to Hitler and fight for the Nazis. The motion picture was entitled: “A Hidden Life.” There is a scene in the film where the central character is having a conversation with the only other neighbor in his village who thinks the war is wrong. During their conversation about the men and women who support the Nazi regime, the protagonist’s neighbor says: “Don’t they know evil when they see it?” At that point in time, I reflected on the current situation we face in our own country. “How can anyone in America listen to Donald Trump,” I thought. “And not know evil when they see it.” Vote.

Republicans Peddle Fear

Blog, , , , , ,

Republicans were on the wrong side of history long before Donald Trump became their Fuhrer. Since the narrow-minded hot air buffoon temporarily took over the White House and hijacked Democracy, the G.O.P. not only drank the Kool-Aid, they churned out barrels of the lethal beverage and sold it to their racist base; hate mongers and fear peddlers who wittingly swallowed the bitter brew and view themselves as victims of their own inadequacy. The same heartless individuals who loathe their neighbor, because they don’t love themselves. Now, however, America is truly the Melting Pot it was ballyhooed to be for generations. Now, the emotionally stunted men and women who beseech “Big Daddy” to do their thinking for them will be marching toward the exit while Americans with loving hearts will march into the Oval Office and shout, “Enough is enough! No longer will we turn a blind eye to our brothers and sisters of color.” There is only one race. It is the human race. Vote.

Growing up in East Flatbush, my Brooklyn buddies and I called anyone we considered deceitful, devious, and fraudulent, a “Phony Baloney.” Currently, the G.O.P. is comprised of countless “Phony Baloney” individuals who can’t win the White House without cheating. Don’t stand idly by while swindlers, charlatans, and cheaters attempt to steal the Democracy our ancestors fought and died for. Thomas Jefferson said, “Eternal vigilance is the price of liberty.” Vote.

 

BLACK LIVES MATTER

Blog, , , , ,

I recently saw a peaceful protester carrying a sign that read, “All lives won’t matter unless Black Lives Matter.” When the protester turned the sign around, it read, “I don’t owe racism an open mind.” Two sage statements that should be on the lips of every American. The latest shooting of an unarmed black man, Jacob Blake, in Kenosha, Wisconsin, and the senseless murder of two peaceful protesters by a twisted teenager with an assault rifle is the direct result of Donald Trump’s incendiary rhetoric. The police officer who fired seven bullets into Jacob Blakes back is a cold-blooded killer. He had the opportunity to grab Blake around the waste and toss him to the ground, or kick the car door closed before Jacob opened it. Instead, he chose to shoot first and ask questions later, because he doesn’t believe Black Lives Matter. Vote.

The Racist Among Us

Blog, , , , , , , , , , , ,

If you are voting for Donald Trump, or you tell your friends, family, and coworkers that you’re undecided, you’re not fooling anyone, you are a racist. No one buys your little charade. Seriously, you’re not fooling anyone, not even yourself. You are a racist. So, dust off your fitted sheets and toss them in the wash or send them to the drycleaners. Make sure your pointy dunce-cap-racist-hat fits over your pointy dunce-cap-racist-head. Don’t forget to iron the little flappy thingy with the eye holes hanging down from the bridge of your dunce-cap-racist-hat, or it won’t lay flat in front of your racist face. Shame on anyone who supports the ugliest Un-American President who ever occupied the Oval Office. This grifter creep show we’ve endured for the last four years ends on January, 20, 2021. Vote.

Change The Way You Look At Things

Blog, , , , , , , , , , , , , , , ,

Doctor Wayne Dyer said, “When you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change.” Countless Americans who voted for Donald Trump are looking at their previous choice for President in a new light. Three and a half years into his Presidency, onetime Trump supporters are conceding that they were in fact wrong. There is another adage that fits the narrative, “It takes a big person to admit when they are wrong.” Vote.

 

Over 25,000 Lies

Blog, , , , , , , , , , , ,

Excuses, explanations, and intellectualizations are the cornerstone of the Trump administration. Granted, “intellectualizations,” is a serious stretch. In truth, Donald Trump has bald-faced lied over twenty-five thousand times in just under four years. Let that sink in for a minute; twenty-five thousand brazen, shameless, outright lies from the President of the United States of America. So, whenever someone avows, “All politicians lie,” I want to paint myself blue, roll around on the floor, and stick zucchinis in my eyes. Vote.

 

Un-American American

Over the last three and a half years, Donald Trump has been trying to take the country back to the ‘50s; the 1850s. For temporary President Trump, the mid twentieth century when white men of privilege ruled the roost wasn’t back far enough. He doesn’t see people of color sitting in the back of the bus, Trump sees black and brown people lying under the wheels. Those relics living among us who support the present administration and refuse to evolve by embracing the true melting pot we call the United States of America, stand in the way of progress. If you are someone who defends, validates, advocates, or champions the racist, xenophobic ugly American occupying the Oval Office, you are stoking the fires of fear, hatred, and division. If you can’t get out of your own way, how about getting out of mine? Vote.
