(7,725 posts)I'm reminded of a line from "Parenthood" about life being a roller-coaster. I'm not a fan of roller coasters. (I'm too old, BUT..)
Something tells me (late on sat. night, when I'm glowing), that there's going to be citizens, rallying in the streets like Times Square after the end of WW2, when this group is finally run out of the Peoples House. Teachers are pushing back hard, and leading by example. Young people are being heard. The Courts are doing justice...and a righteous "tipping point' is on the horizon. The electorate is coiled like a compressed spring. We are 'Canned Heat', and Brother it's cold outside.
Let's get fired up. Get ready to roll, and may God help them if they think nastiness and fear is going to stop us. This is unacceptable and unsustainable. This isn't how it ends for 300+ million people. He thinks we are going to fold under pressure. Are we?
Listen....Monday morning will come. With it another depressing and disappointing week, BUT, no one can say that Americans didn't win the war for the world, and advance civilization right here at home, when this fiasco is over. Make these two long awful years turn out.
We are in the fight of our lives right here, fighting the 'Enemy Within'. We're on the inside looking out. Put on your helmets. Sharpen your spurs. We're in the trenches waiting for the whistle to go over the top, and Brethren we will. Righteousness must prevail.
Water the tree we shall!
Register your children. Get ready to vote. If good news comes before that day, then we're all that much further ahead. We're making social sausage, and will look back one day and tell the story of it. Mueller will be our next Supreme Court Justice, and the promise of America, will shed it's grace on all of us once again. The 99%.
Their, and our, days coming. Let's keep our heads together and sally forth bravely. The tides turning.
