Too much fear, anger, pessimism, and useless quotes from gloating socialists on FR today. Needed: a rational discussion of where we go from here. I see a little bit of it starting to poke through.
step 1 register as independent - send the message that we are angry
RE: Needed: a rational discussion of where we go from here.
You want an optimistic post? This FReeper ( me) can’t give you one unfortunately because I can’t find one when it comes to our Federal government.
We are witnessing our country disintegrating before our very eyes and we feel helpless to do anything to stop it.
The words “Not for self, but country” are inscribed over the chapel doors at the U.S. Naval Academy in Annapolis, Maryland. Unfortunately, they haven’t taken any traction in our nation’s capital on the banks of the Potomac. Everybody inside the Beltway is seeking his or her own fortune and securing their grasp on power. The greater good is not a consideration.
Consider what is happening at all levels of government, state and Federal...
So Congress certifies the election of Joe Biden as the 46th President of the United States. Nobody cares about the enormous amount of evidence of election fraud, Neither Congress nor the Supreme Court would consider the merits of the issues. The reason, it pains me to say, is that our constitutional process has broken down because those who are required to implement it have too much to lose due to their own corruption which would be exposed.
I won’t rail against John Roberts or Mitch McConnell. You’ve heard that before. Nobody is poised to punish either one of them. Frankly, nobody really seems to care. Those who are corrupt feel quite comfortable in the company of others who have likewise compromised their positions and betrayed the sacred trust which we put in them.
What disturbs me the most is that we are about to get a president who has not been lawfully elected to that high office. If Joe Biden is indeed sworn in on January 20th, he can never claim to be the legitimate 46th President of the United States because he did not earn 270+ electoral votes legally. But, it isn’t just the fact that this has happened, moreover it is the inexplicable fact that nobody seems to care. That part I simply don’t understand.
This is not just about Donald Trump. This is about saving our constitutional republic which has survived for 245 years but which is now on its deathbed.
There is nothing other than vindictiveness which would motivate anybody right now to try to do another impeachment witch hunt or to use the 25th Amendment. Even the most mild-mannered among us is going to react if you get in their face one time too many. You are on the verge of that now.
For now, I will simply ask God for His Divine Mercy as the United States of America enters our darkest period since the First Civil War.
