Today, our Congress stated its willingness to lay our towns, neighborhoods, families, schools and our very lives in the lap of any aspiring terrorist who cares to make the trip to our soil. Why? Simply because they are angry and vengeful towards a man who has dared to run for the highest office in our land without their blessing and approval and who refuses to ask for it. That a great many Americans respect and agree with him makes not one bit of difference to them. We are the “people” named in our Constitution, not them. They have forgotten that “we the people” are the reason they hold their positions; not foreigners, not immigrants nor leaders of foreign nations. We The People have forged this great country and protected it with our precious youth and treasure who have shed blood to keep us safe throughout our history.

Today, because of a political spat that they know they are losing; all but a few of our elected “representatives” wiped all that precious blood and sacrifice off the face of our lives as if it were of no account whatsoever. What our brave soldiers have fought and died to do, Congress, with few exceptions, has voted to throw our fate, our homes and lives open to any and all comers. Indeed, our tax dollars will most likely even finance the journey.

True, this is not yet set in stone. But the irrefutable fact that our duly elected governance is willing to throw us to any foreign entity that produces questionable documentation like meat to dogs because they are insulted by a newcomer is a totally unnerving and sickening realization. While many of us knew things are bad and that we’re in trouble as a nation, I don’t think anyone expected to find out just how little we register in the minds of those we’ve chosen to represent us. Their hallowed halls of power have apparently rotted their perception of what their purpose is to accomplish. The people of the nation they were commissioned go protect have become mere cannon fodder in their thirst to be “right” in a political disagreement.
