Excerpt:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In a painful way, it\u2019s interesting phenomena.\u00a0 Sometimes infuriating.\u00a0 Sometimes laughable.\u00a0 Sometimes saddening.\u00a0 Always dangerous.\u00a0 Watching it unfold.\u00a0 Watching freedom swirl around the drain while politicians, the media, and the ignorant cheer.\u00a0 The legislative branch of our government could not be more broken or morally bankrupt than now.\u00a0 Devoid of leadership.\u00a0 Standing back and watching.\u00a0 Waiting to jump ship and side up with whoever looks the winner.\u00a0 Side up to whoever puts the plug back in the swamp\u2019s drain.\u00a0 Letting life in Babylon on the Potomac return to its normal back scratching existence.\u00a0 As Thomas Pain described the beginnings of the American Revolution in The Crisis, December 23, 1776,<\/em> \u201cThese are the times that try men\u2019s souls.\u201d<\/strong><\/em> – (bold emphasis added)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Washington\u2019s swamp life, cheerleaders and strap hangers hate President Donald Trump.\u00a0 It\u2019s not a question.\u00a0 It\u2019s a declaration.\u00a0 By extension, they also hate me.\u00a0 Truthfully, they mostly hate me.\u00a0 The forgotten American that put Mr. Trump in the Whitehouse.\u00a0 A commoner hanging on for dear life to what remains of the middle rung of America\u2019s backbone.\u00a0 The middle class.\u00a0 Decades of neglect thinned our ranks.\u00a0 They\u2019ve tried to turn us into a tribal culture of multiple identities then pit us against one another.\u00a0 Or pit all of us against some non-existent straw dog.\u00a0 One they can beat on daily keeping the unclean masses angry and in perpetual despair. It\u2019s a dangerous game Washington plays.\u00a0 Only then to ride in adorned in shining armor declaring in utopian fashion there is only one United States of America.<\/em> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

That didn\u2019t work out so well now did it?\u00a0 E Pluribis Unum is a quaint concept these days.\u00a0 The more we declare we are one, the more they try to make us many.\u00a0 Being a red, white, and blue loving American is offensive.\u00a0 Getting on your knees, disrespect, hate.\u00a0 That\u2019s the new way.\u00a0 <\/em>Summer Soldiers and Sunshine Patriots.<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0 Unable to see how blessed they were to be born American. <\/em>(bold emphasis added)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
