Send in the Clowns

 And the singer asks: where are the clowns?
 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5os4NFeKFFs&noredirect=1

They are in Washington D.C. legislating and they are in Hawaii vacationing and they are in Iowa campaigning.
And they are on FOX and CNN and MSNBC and ABC and CBS and NBC and hither and thither throughout the ether all about us pontificating about what is best for the rest of us.

Interestingly, all of the above referenced clowns mock and ridicule and attack and defame the same person.
The straight man amongst the clowns.
The one true patriot seeking the highest office in the land.
The fact that all the clowns - whether Republican or Democrat, liberal or conservative, fringe right or fringe left - all attack the same man merely corroborates the inescapable fact that he is the only one worthy of being Commander in Chief of the land of the free and the home of the brave.

Now don't get me wrong. No politician is without blemish. Who amongst us is without sin?
In an imperfect world there are no perfect humans.
(Hell, in a perfect world there still would be no perfect politicians.)

That being said, let us recognize the one candidate for president who is pro life and anti war; who is pro constitution and anti Federal Reserve; who is pro America and, like George Washington, anti foreign entanglements. He would end the unconstitutional usurpation of legislative rights by activist judges and bring home the military from unnecessary foreign wars and post them on our southern border to defend this great land from foreign invasion.
And for all this he is mocked and crucified by the elite, the establishment, the fainthearted and weak willed, the Benedict Arnolds who would toss this nation onto the dung heap of history.
His chances may be slim, but so were David's against Goliath and the 300 against the 10,000.
Every once in a while though, history- no a stranger to irony - presents the underdog with the chance to change the destinies of nations.
This is such a time.
Do not be fainthearted or suicidally cynical.
Support with your prayers and voices and dollars the last, best hope for the Republic whose very life is dimming in a setting sun's fading light.

Little by Little

Our precious freedoms are being slowly whittled away as we sleep off another hangover brought on by an overindulgence of something or other, be it drinking or eating or shopping or plug in electronics.
Did you know that the Department of Homeland Security now monitors Facebook and Twitter for any possible subversive content or anything that may pose a threat to national security, whatever subversive or threat might mean?
As a matter of fact, our beloved Congress is now considering a bill that will greatly limit the internet's content and pose a potential fine/ and or jail time for anyone who uses the internet? It's called the 'Stop Online Piracy Act'. (SOPA) Sounds great, right? Sounds like the government just wants to protect law abiding citizens from infringement of their copyrighted creations, right?
It's wonderful how the lawmakers can come up with bill names that sound so innocent or concerned for citizens, like the 'Patriot Act', right? You know, the act that permits the government to withhold your constitutional rights if they deem you a threat to the nation, whatever that means, ( the government defines all terms).
Anyhow...the SOPA gives the government authority to shut down millions of web sites. The language in the bill is broad and vague. Imagine the shutting down of facebook, Twitter, Youtube, and any site that runs counter to the ruling elite.
Do not laugh. This bill or some variation will pass and be signed in to law with the smiling politicians carping about how they are protecting fellow Americans.
No they are not. They are lessening our freedom and tightening the noose around our necks.
And guess what?
The sheeple of the land of the free and the home of the brave will respond by more hangover inducing over indulgences.

At the Trough

The more I read about the corruption of our politicians -on both sides of the aisle- the more I get the urge to regurgitate. I fear we have gone to far down the road of ruin to turn back and recover our lost republic. There are too many factors weighing against a realistic chance to start afresh and secure a land of the free and a home of the brave the way our forefathers envisioned their posterity.
Sometimes I have to slap my face to remind myself that the Judeo-Christian heritage that I hold dear is fast becoming an anachronism for a majority of the American public. I am a stranger in my own land which has become, sad to say, a strange land in itself. Once a nation loses its religious bearings, the citizens fall out and devolve into a hedonistic frenzy. Community dissolves and we are left with a multicultural amalgam of competing interests and claimed rights.
We are there. An indifferent and selfish people being led by a corrupt class of plutocrats.
Nice article on our government plight:

Will we end up like the swine Jesus dealt with once upon a time?

As Eyelids Close

...off to sleep we drift as enticing melodies carry us to Nevernever Land and our minds succumb to the ever spreading beat of Big Brother's tom-tom.
We are adrift in a cold, cruel cosmos and we haven't even left earth's atmosphere. Will anything save us? Where is the Messiah, or, at least, a good old fashioned black hole from the next galaxy over?

But I drift myself. Into Disturbia. Not the movie either, but the real life realization that our time grows short and each day we more closer to an existential point of no return, a point beyond which lies stultifying suffering and eventual permanent blackout.
And all in the good old U S of A.
Yes, each day the evidence grows that we are allowing Big Brother to encroach further and further into our lives to the extent that before we know it the nightmare will be of maximum duration, that is to say, terminal.
A brief listing of nefarious examples from just the tip of the iceberg can be gleaned from the following article.

The outcome of the next presidential election may change things. It may be the last chance we have to reverse our course. Time will tell.
In the meantime, be prepared for a continuation of our wild ride along the downward spiral our nation is trapped in. Be prepared to make do on your own, or meet your Maker.
