Under one banner do I pledge my life to defend, without reservation, regardless of conditions; good or ill.
Each of us regardless of those who passed and yet to come are married to the results of our choice. In love, marriage or country there is null point. And God is never still nor is life in any form. All the rough places made plain.
At the moment however, rushing towards this election: The white versus those of color; I am divided in my loyalties. Torn in half by rage, poverty and resentment, then peace, joy and blissful indifference. . . .This too shall pass and/or life goes on. In freedom or slavery.
The safety I know comes from God.
In whom I do trust.
The rage is towards those who have my honor and trashed it in greed and usury. Those who in their turn have sold their honor for the prize of being elected to public office in pretend or false authority and service: Senate, Congress, Supreme Court right down the line to the local Animal Control Officer.
They who have pledged differently -- with preamble -- a condition that they block the current justly elected majority in power. Our Commander In Chief obviously discriminated against for the color of his skin. Worse he did not play the party political machine game of: You give me this, I'll give you that in exchange. To acquire the position of power with all it's perks and prestige. As for myself I see not a imporor but a servant Of, For, by the power of the people realistically chosen. A responsibility to be crushed by the world at large; corrupted by various preceding, who have bared the final naked agression, avarice, greed and usury.
Shame me once; as in the contest between Bush and whoever. The has not been an election in the past one hundred and fifty years that would not crumble beneath close inspection by disinterested, without bias, persons representing the authority of the people.
Shame me twice and we will raise a protest the end of which you will never see. Since God suggests there is injustice in spending more than the majority of Americans could ever earn, or own, to establish a Republican Majority. Which, in faith, I still protest was criminal and unjust. As before.
We the people know reality, there are no more industrial jobs, the majority of our labor given to others off shore. The age of industry is dying or dead in America.
The age of information and manipulation of information and the poor economy have destroyed the people’s freely informed choice of governance in State or Religion. The cost of an education has become, at any level, subject to profit and administration pundits; not teaching or teachers.
"Real heroes are men who fall and fail and are flawed, but win out in the end because they've stayed true to their ideals and beliefs and commitments." --Kevin Costner
Missteps and dishonor in our governance by Republicans have given inspiration to dictators the world round to imitate. The prospect of a Republican in public office is offensive to me since it promises the rule by few of the many. Meaning endless war and the prospect of our being the New Rogue State aggressively promising the end of the world. He who leads and I follow said “love your enemy” which merely, to me, means negotiate before you kill him.
Missteps at this point in time will mean the end of all human life as we know it; for the profit of a few Robber Barons and or Corporations who actually dictate legislation to their benefit.
No jobs. Or those offered: low paying menial wages, Seventy cents on the dollar paid to white men.
We stand on the beginning of a new age: equality for women and men, freedom from tycoons who dictate the where, when, how and why of everything. My fellow American’s we, under God, are free to choose between going forward to the future in peace and justice. Or stepping backwards remaining in unjust relationships to the rest of the world creating more terrorist in reply to our aggression against them.
"Of all the preposterous assumptions of humanity over humanity, nothing exceeds most of the criticisms made on the habits of the poor by the well-housed, well-warmed, and well-fed."
