One more debate. One more time for the candidates on the right to insist what is wrong with this country to lay blame, to accuse, to scapegoat to appease a mass of people who gloat in God’s graces but thrive with the devil’s deeds.
One more debate and everyone trying to be more mean, more belligerent, more anti anything with the word social, education fair equal or just related to it. More time declaring how great their God is but doing everything in his/her power to eliminate the glory of God if you are Gay, Muslim, foreign born, a woman who dare have an opinion, disabled or old.
One more debate and now the scratching of the eyes moves beyond the opposite party but digs deeper into how much adultery is cool, how Christian a Christian really is, how much money buys you power, how hip is hypocrisy, and whose flip flop is less of a lie.
One more debate and all those running for the highest office in this land of the free, at least free for the moment, all receive pay checks, all have at least 6 figure incomes, have glorious medical insurance, own their homes. And yet they demand that the unemployed are not working because they are lazy, that minimum wage will run us into ruin, if you can’t pay for a fair insurance policy then find a better job, and that you are a dead beat if you want to depend on the Government except on issues of marriage rights, reproductive rights, freedom of religion.
One more debate and the smell of blood oozing from the wounds of hate is rampant for the bigots, ignorant, uneducated who find bigotry, racism, homophobia elixirs, almost manna from some malevolent heaven. One more debate and the feeding frenzy of how much can you hate, how often can you deny, how many times will you recite separate but equal, will find anyone who does not think like you an enemy.
One more debate and instead of consensus, divide is relished. Instead of common ground, chaos is king. Instead of how can we, we will never is recited. One more debate and we seem to move further away from a unified America and seem to turn into my way or the highway.
It may be rhetoric, a scripted reality show but the venom and vitriol is like a virus and there seems to be little to no vaccination or serum to stop the spread. It may be a a game all about gamesmanship but the hate lingers long, and the evil incited is infectious.
One more debate and we watch spiteful men and women cajoled by self righteous self identified Christians who live anything but a Christian life, represent a time in American history that when first read would be assumed to be fiction. Is it the monster who is scary or the maker of the monster who is scarier?
One more debate...
