‘Daylight again, following me to bed, I think about a hundred years ago, how my fathers bled. I think I see a valley covered with bones in blue. All the brave soldiers that cannot get older, been askin’ after you! Hear the past a callin’ from Mr Ar-megeddons side. When everyone’s talkin’ and no one is listenin’, how can we Decide? (Do we) find the cost of freedom, buried in the ground? Mother Earth will swallow you, lay your body down.’ Find the Cost of Freedom/Crosby Stills and Nash.
So I have to wonder, with honest concern, if you are the children or grandchildren of the Veterans who risked life and limb to fight for freedom during WWII, the men and women in the military who sacrificed their youth to fight a dictator in Germany and Italy, rallying against Fascism…and you voted for Trump, a man who has been embraced and embraces the Aryan Nation/ Neo Nazi’s and is a hero to groups like these, how do you do it? How can you look in the mirror, visit the grave sight or even reminisce about your parents or grandparents who died so America would never EVER have to face the dire prospects of bigotry/hatred as suffered by the people of Europe. You knew that Trump enjoyed the company of a demographic’s sole purpose was to make America Hate again, not Great again. Then, even if you had closed your eyes to the hate groups who held rally’s for Trump, you had to certainly open them up again, as Trump proudly announced that Steve Bannon was the GUY, the MAN making decisions for this nation, celebrating a man who stands for almost everything, your parents or grandparents had died to try and stop.
So, tell me how do you find the cost of freedom, now that the past is coming back to haunt us. With honest concern, I ask you how do you live with yourselves?
