Some Americans were energized by his radical beliefs and promise to put an end to crooked politics. But I fear that energy may have just set us back over a hundred years.
This animalistic belief that too many cavemen in our cave will reduce the “necessary” supplies for our families – is ridiculous. Using the reference to cavemen is to help you see the brutal and dangerous ignorance. I want you to envision the uncivilized grunt jumping and screaming to protect what we would call a fridge now. Nor will it keep us any safer. I assure you I am more likely to get hurt at my local shopping mall by some 20yr old kid with a chip on their shoulder than some jihadist slitting my throat in my sleep.
The Great Wall of China, the Berlin Wall one thought of by an emperor…... something like 210 years BEFORE CHRIST. The other was built 15 years into the cold war. Yet here we are talking about building a wall to keep Mexicans out. There is plenty of everything for everyone in this country. There are jobs, they may not be the highest paying or the most glamorous but there are jobs. There is FREE educational resources. There is not ONE immigrant past, present or future that is taking from YOU or YOURS.
Have we forgotten altogether what being American means? We are a melting pot of races, genders, religions, body shapes, skin colors and professions. We are the home of the free and the brave. We have a monument that asks for countries to: “Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free, the wretched refuse of your teeming shore. Send these, the homeless, tempest-tossed to me, I lift my lamp beside the golden door!"
For the first time in American history we have a political leader going against everything this nation has ever stood for…..and the audacity of any breathing, bleeding American citizen to support that…..YOU are the decedent of immigrants. We all are, you know who isn’t? Natives….Tribal - aboriginal peoples that IMMIGRANTS slaughter around Thanks Giving time. (think of that when you carve your turdukin next year) They have the right to stand up and say – ‘well you know what guys we tried that before and it was almost genocide.’ But they are not, they are actually having to fight for clean water – insert DAPL. That will be a whole other discussion at a later time.
My point here people – be conscious. Fully – fully conscious. The White House is not a place for Hollywood reality TV, for hatred and oppression. The White House is supposed to be for the brightest and bravest, leaders NOT dictators.
For this first time since the civil or revolutionary war I believe our country is on the horizon of some very scary revolt. Each side is convinced that their way is the right way – and neither is ready to compromise. Immigrant families are scared that their homes will be torn apart, non-Christian/Catholics are scared that their faith will kill their American dream. Radicalism calls to build a wall and deport individuals, question anyone who doesn’t fit the American mold – but I revert back to a previous statement – America is the melting pot.
Yes we have a national language – it’s not AMERICAN either! English historians state, was derived from Germanic Tribes as they immigrated to England.
That’s all for now – wake up, stand up and never back down.
