I have to wonder, OUT LOUD, on this holiday celebrating 246 years of the birth of the United States of America, just how many more days, months, years, and decades, might be remaining, to honor the sacrifices and urgencies demonstrated by honest women and men to maintain the ideals of Democracy?
The juxtaposition of statutes from a once considered JUST, Supreme Court, in which they have denied personal freedoms regarding reproductive rights for women, removed the rights for citizens to vote in a fair and equitable environment, knocking out the wall between church and state, to establishing somehow the SECOND AMENDMENT, as the holiest of amendments, permitting random acts of murder by GUN to usurp lives of the INNOCENT and NOT acknowledging hate speech, and racist rhetoric as cohabitators of violence alongside ASSAULT WEAPONS, is OVERWHELMING, and FRIGHTFUL.
On this 246-year birthday, it seems to me that the Republican Right-Wing Fascists preferring Christian Nationalism over Liberty and Justice for all mock the history of this nation and pretend that any fact to the matter that freedom was the intent of the Founding Fathers; FREEDOM from TYRANNY from Religion, the Monarchy, is somehow CRITICAL and INSULTING.
And even more amazing to me, is how those of us who want to preserve our Bill of Rights, are always on the DEFENSIVE, always fighting back!
Why have those of us the millions more who year after year vote for Presidential candidates who at least speak of JUSTICE FOR ALL, have to take a back seat to the THUGS, GANGS, GOONS, PUPPET MASTERS, who manipulate, maul, and maneuver the minions whose only claim to any fame is to HATE?
July 4, 2022, and I have to wonder OUT LOUD, will this be the last time this date is one of THE BIRTH OF A NATION OR THE DEATH OF A NATION?
