Where is the conscience of America ??

[kentuck]

That would follow a demagogue to the edge of nuclear destruction?

That would permit their leader to prop up his dictator friends, at the same time take food out of the mouths of American children?

That would permit jack-booted government thugs to terrorize and brutalize our citizens on the premise of a lie?

Where is the conscience of a nation that would permit the "people's house" to be demolished and barely make a murmur?

When does the nation take responsibility for believing the lies of a demagogue?

1. Where is the conscience of the people doing it to us?

[Ocelot II]

2. Pity the Nation

Pity the nation whose people are sheep
And whose shepherds mislead them

Pity the nation whose leaders are liars
Whose sages are silenced
And whose bigots haunt the airwaves

Pity the nation that raises not its voice
Except to praise conquerors
And acclaim the bully as hero
And aims to rule the world
By force and by torture

Pity the nation that knows
No other language but its own
And no other culture but its own

Pity the nation whose breath is money
And sleeps the sleep of the too well fed

Pity the nation oh pity the people
who allow their rights to erode
and their freedoms to be washed away

My country, tears of thee
Sweet land of liberty!

– Lawrence Ferlinghetti (after Khalil Gibran), 2007

4. Unfortunately, this is perfect for today in the USA.

3. MAGA can't protect or prefer democracy when

they don’t understand its value.

They only blindly follow the leader.

5. All of the MAGA sources of "news" have been taken over. A well-planned move.
