Here Comes the Sun

I have never trusted Klingons and I never will. I was 11 when I saw true malevolence for the first time. It hid behind an American flag back then too. I saw pictures of him before I heard the death horn melody of his voice, and I knew he commanded an army of flying monkeys and that he hated with such a passion and energy that anytime I saw or heard him speak my spirit was diminished proportionately. I have never listened to a political speech since that time and will only read them or watch them on video in small snippets. I was learning German at the time and, being 11, I had not fully grasped the nuances of this wonderfully robust language; to me his name meant NO!!!



Yeah, yeah, how wonderfully prescient I was at 11. Hell, before I was ten I knew that lying was a condition of state authority. I accepted it and I've never looked back. Richard Milhaus Nixon (again, what's with the German middle name--early Ebon translation = "bad house.") Forgive me for mixing "bad" Spanish in with my limited grasp of German, but damn it people, you elected a criminal as president of the US and all the signs were there for me to see. However, there was one slight problem; I still had to dine at the kiddie table.
So, when this criminal resigns in disgrace to avoid impeachment and is then pardoned I can say without remorse or glee that the wisdom of the founders was taken for a ride and summarily "rubbed out" of existence through an arrogantly blissful ignorance that replaced an already misplaced exceptionalism with the typical zombie thug we admire/loathe as a Republican today.
I have nothing but comtempt for Republicans and see NO redeeming quality whatsoever in this mob. I truly can't remember a time when I didn't despise them.
I am a watcher and the only outcome for US is the dust bin of history if we are lucky. The alternative is extinction because Republicans are myopic. Their world view hinges on the hording of power. Fear and greed is their mantra. Their destruction of everything is innate and they will not go quietly; they will take this planet with them if they can.
Willful ignorance and superstition has supplanted the science of The Enlightenment for them and they wear the shadows of darkness with a pride that truly sickens and saddens me. Debate is treason to these arrogant thugs and logic is countered with the fist of the righteous and the lies of the loudest. The planet is breaking and humans have reached a point in their evolution where there can be only one solution. The Cave Man must be eliminated completely because compromise is not an option for them, it is a "rearguard" strategy that allows them to regroup. We are at this point now. If we the people succumb to this ploy and allow them to feign sincerity and falsely use our belief structures and goodness to survive they will mutate into the authoritarian overlords we have always known them to be.




To use Western US parlance, "it is high noon and the showdown is about to commence."
