Many believe the biggest threat to us is China, or Iran, or North Korea, or, ... well, take your pick. But none of them are going to nuke us, invade us, conquer us, and certainly, none are a bigger threat to our freedoms than is today's Republican Party.
If you believe your next vote is going to be counted, it depends which state you live in, which district in that state you live in, whether you're white, black, or brown, and whether you're a Republican, or a Democrat. If you don't understand that, then you may be part of the problem.
America is under attack by the most ruthless, despicable, traitorous, demented, "maniac-loving" enemy we've fought since WWII. But this time, there are no oceans to protect us, or give us time to prepare for their invasion. This time, the enemy consists of the most powerful interests in the world. They are the people who own both the Republican Party and a few key Democrats, as well as millions of imbeciles made up of a mixture of street thugs, those who can't grasp the concept of evil, and just plain morons.
I wish I could believe that reason, self-interest, self-preservation and a love of what we are supposed to be will save who and what most of us believe we are. Alas, I really believe that those who own the American Propaganda Machine, as well as their desire to rule us all, has made the outcome a foregone conclusion. -- Do I need to be more specific? I believe this war is on the verge of being won by those who need to own us. I believe that America is hanging by its fingernails on the edge of a cliff. I believe the clock is about to run out.
Would someone please prove me wrong.
