RHETORIC: The art of effective or persuasive speaking or writing, especially the use of figures of speech and other compositional techniques. Language designed to have a persuasive or impressive effect on its audience, but often regarded as lacking in sincerity or meaningful content.
RHETORICAL QUESTION: A question asked in order to create a dramatic effect or to make a point rather than to get an answer
HYPOCRISY: the practice of claiming to have moral standards or beliefs to which one's own behavior does not conform; pretense.
I HAVE TO WONDER: Gerry Buncher’s amazement at the world in which he lives. The world that has emerged during the 68 years in which has so far lived, in which history, studied is not history learned. The ease with which hate is as important to life as oxygen and gravity.
RESISTANCE: The refusal to accept or comply with something; the attempt to prevent something by action or argument. The ability not to be affected by something, especially adversely.
DENIAL: The action of declaring something to be untrue. The refusal of something requested or desired. A statement that something is not true.
I HAVE TO WONDER, AGAIN: Gerry Buncher’s refusal to permit the silence of some to permit the evil of others to permeate the country in which I live and the democracy I pray continues. Gerry Buncher’s voice loud enough to be heard as the winds of bigotry, bogus and bias blast through the empty souls of those whose own self-pity and self-loathing motivate them to find a scapegoat to blame any negative circumstance that has come their way, of course on anyone but themselves!
SILENCE: Complete absence of sound. Cause to become silent; prohibit or prevent from speaking.
WONDERING ONCE AGAIN: No camera permitted in Trump Concentration Camps. No Republican elected official from the state of Texas has tried to enter the Trump Concentration Camps in their own Lone Star State. Private facilities established by the Executive Branch, without a peep from the Majority GOP Party in the Congress. Families separated, but the Evangelical Nationalists only care that babies separated from their womb are a priority. An Executive order written and proudly advertised, but no real effort to change. Arguments that some people should follow orders of a dictator, because after all they, like the German troops are just peons following orders, so why should they be subjected to criticism for staying on the job. All the while, Russians have invaded our borders, the Trump Crime Family and the Trump Cabinet members have broken numerous laws and are yet to be convicted. Quietly, like carbon monoxide poisoning, the GOP is trying its best to rid the USA of preconditions, out of spite because Trump hates anything Obama. Nothing has been done to reduce the hacking of election for the Mid-Terms. Democratic Institutions are crumbling, Trump remains the Commander-In-Chief. And when the Progressives/Left/Democrats/Liberals play by the same dirty rotten roles of anyone Trump, we are suddenly the bad guys! And oh yeah Infants Toddlers, School-Agers, and Adolescents are still separated from their families and in some cases hidden in some secret space as if it was Area 51!
SILENCE EQUALS DEATH: It did then and it still does now!
