Sick, Sad and Disgusted
I tend to ramble so I'll keep this short. At the best of times I feel like this country is only tolerating my being here. Yet, here I am today completely put out with the direction this country has taken. It upsets me in a way I haven't been since Sept 11th. Then, I had a clearer idea of who to blame eve if we didn't know where their hideouts were yet. Now, just like then I know who to blame and I know where they are hiding. They are hiding in the halls of government, they are hiding towns where I'm most unwelcome, the streets I walk on and establishments I frequent. They're everywhere and mean to do more damage to this country than any outside attack could. They know who they are and their hate is not patriotic, their fear is not patriotic, their complete compulsion to kick those who are down is not patriotic. In the long term they will not win but the damage their fear, cowardice and delusion and hate will produce will take time to recover from; and we will. I believe that this time will be the last because this time they are leaving an ugly indelible mark that cannot be hidden, denied, forgotten or explained away.
