Reminds me of Mao’s Cultural Revolution.
Do we get a link to the audio of you singing Edelweiss?
I’m with you. I’ve been down, really down these last few days. The enemy within has never been stronger and more empowered.
I know - and have known - too many good individuals to believe that ‘everything good’ is being destroyed.
Get out of your cups.
Edelweiss, Edelweiss
Every morning you greet me
Small and white, clean and bright
You look happy to meet me
Blossom of snow may you bloom and grow
Bloom and grow forever
Edelweiss, Edelweiss
Bless my homeland forever
I watched “The Sound of Music” on NYE this year (good long movie to help pass the time til midnight) and I cried when he sang “Bless my homeland forever.”
The United States no longer has free speech in any practical sense. My family also no longer has in person schools or in person church, or free/fair elections or a free/fair press. All our institutions and our faith in institutions have been stripped from us in one short year. It’s very stunning, and sad.
But this is how most societies have lived throughout history—under tyranny. I figure, we are in good company. The United States, what is used to be, was the exception and not the rule.
I feel blessed that I had the freedoms I had for so long. Certainly I will appreciate the “simple pleasures” of these freedoms when and if they return.
: )
Bless my homeland forever.
I hear ya.... :-(
It’s a hybrid between Hitler and Mao.
Keep the faith.
I too watched it this year. And it’s my favorite scene in the film.
I’ve been down also, ever since 11/3, 11/4, 11/5, 11/6 . . . 1/6/2021.
I too feel blessed to have lived through the First America.
I expect their will be a Second America within a generation (or two) once the bitter lessons of logic have all been relearnt.
For now, we may say, “So long, farewell, auf wiedersehen, goodnight!”
I regularly watch at least a few times a year the glorious mountaintop ending scene. Just love that scene/song.
The GOP-E types remind me of the young Nazi boyfriend who betrays them in the Church.
