Brave New World

Living in it

Our generation will have the hardest time living in a world being ushered in by the people who swore an oath to uphold and defend the constitution. The progressives, nice and kind word for communist, have been educated to believe that the constitution is an outdated piece of paper.  Just replace it.

The constitution defines our Republic and is the only thing standing between all of our rights and an outright grab of our country.  The federal government did not come into being before the constitution.  The constitution became our framework and then the people allowed for the creation of a government.

A lot of people are fond of saying that America is an experiment and that maybe the experiment failed.  I guess we shall see what continues on into this new era of America.

Transition

We are moving from fall to winter.  In another month, there will be snow and Christmas and cold and the want to have warmth.  Soon Thanksgiving will be upon us and cities are already preparing for the next great lockdown.  They are saying that we should just stay home.

Living out on the Great Plains means that you aren't in a lockdown.  You don't have to deal with the nasty governments that have decided what you do and how you live.  All you need is food, water, shelter, clothing, defense, and some money.  The rest will take care of itself.

As we move into deep winter, we shall see how long a lockdown will last and whether or not America becomes like France or Italy or Spain or Germany.  Have you noticed that Europe seems to be the model for what the politicians want to do?

The People

The people of this country have divided themselves into two distinct groups.  On the left side of the ring are the people who vary from slightly left of moderate (socialists) to far and away communists.  On the right side of the ring are the people who vary from slightly right of moderate (socialists) and far and away fascists.  Lets get ready to rumble.............

There are groups of people for whom the 2 party system does not define them.  These people are of varied beliefs and have to choose between major representation in voting for one side or the other, or they except the fact that their beliefs are a minority view.

For these people the Freaky Fight For Power (F3P) doesn't include them and they have to settle with whoever is in power and hope their wants and desires are not bypassed or simply crushed.

A Plan

Last year at this time we were getting ready for Thanksgiving.  The politics were invading our homes and everybody had an opinion.  No one knew what was coming.  If you told me last year that a virus would cause such massive devastation, I wouldn't have believed you.

The virus was already underway before Thanksgiving.  It was headed to America and the word wasn't being spread far and wide.  The left was in disarray and had a 3 ring circus of performers jostling for visibility.  Saturday Night Live (SNL) had some wonderful skits showing these folks as fools.  Entertainment.

Then suddenly we had a virus.  We had a lockdown.  Couldn't go to work or the store or the restaurants or the bars.  People lost their jobs through layoffs and closures.  The government vowed to do something.

Wear a mask, don't wear a mask.  Buy supplies.  Don't hoard.  Shelves are empty and the trucks aren't rolling.

Suddenly a man is killed and the police look to be the bad guys.  The country doesn't unite to right the wrong.  The country erupts in flames.  We are all looking away from the real problem.  Slight of hand.

Riots from peaceful demonstrations.  Skin color now defines you as the bad people who must repent and stay quiet or else.  Many small groups of people come together for the common good and to unite under the banner of getting what they want.

A plan had been hatched.  Beware of the conspiracy theories.  Yet, the quiet people wait.

A vaccine is being developed.  It is being tested.  It kills people.  It isn't working.  Start again.

And now we are here.  Talk of stolen elections and stuffing the ballot box via mail in ballots.  People swearing affidavits alleging wrongful doing.  Court battles to make the vote lawful and correct.  January 21st will be a telling day and the quiet people wait.

Reminds me of the 60's and 70's.  So much turmoil.  I lived through that and remember it well.

So....

This Thanksgiving we should look to what we are thankful for and stop the none sense.  We should stop the battles.  We should be thankful for what we have and who we are.

Be vigilant.
