What DO We Stand For As A Nation?

Without condoning acts of violence, the patriot of the assassination attempt on Trump…was the young man behind the gun…

Before becoming judgmental…consider the following…

If the laws in this country worked as they should, Trump would have never been on that podium in Bethel Park, Pennsylvania delivering a speech for re-election for the President of the United States. He would have been stripped of the ability to ever run for public office again…

Had the people so elected to serve the people had done their service to the country and its people, and the Constitution…Trump would have been unanimously impeached from office by Republicans and Democrats alike, when charges for his crimes against the country in abuse of power and obstruction of Congress where made evident, and witnessed by our citizens and the world…

What happened to the integrity of the Republican party that voted to impeach President Nixon?

Cowardice prevailed…

Saturday, July 13, 2024…Two people dead…two people critically injured.

Senseless…

If blame is to be cast upon anyone or anything, look to those who subverted the laws to advance criminal acts into the office of the President, and into our society as “just and righteous”…

America has become so opinionated and divided because principles…morals and values that preach and teach the true connectivity of our humanity…and how to preserve it through the continuity of living and appreciating life…respecting principles, morals and values appears to be no more.

What happened in Bethel Park, PA, is a continued narrative as well as a dismal and sad commentary on what this Nation is really all about…

There is no “Greatness.” Or bringing back “Greatness”…Greatness never was…

The dark history that formulated this country…is far, far from “great” or “greatness.”

As long as “White Supremacy” is a goal…

As long as Racism reigns supreme…

As long as hatred is cultivated…

As long as the working class is robbed by the rich and forced into poverty…

As long as the poor are ridiculed…persecuted and ignored…

As long as progress is stifled…derailed and destroyed by archaic ideas and practices…

As long as displaced loyalties in the governmental structures that run this country continue with impunity…

As long as there is no solid, functioning government that is clearly for the people…instead of dysfunctional bodies of government stalling progress and avoiding change…

As long as there is a self-proclaimed Elite who continue to flourish and prosper at the expense of the American people, while desecrating the Nation…

“Greatness” is eons away from becoming the ideal of this country….

It has become a beleaguered nation run by a covenant of cowards…masquerading as politicians, pushing manifesto politics while fueling their agendas by feeding on the hopes, dreams and fears of citizens…who really just want to secure a piece of the “American Dream” which has descended into the “American Nightmare.”

Trump and every politician who pushes anything other than Unity…Progress…Change…Equality…Diversity…Country First…A Unified America…Freedom…Democracy…Justice for All…Civil Rights…is not fit for politics or to hold any type of political office or affiliate that professes to support the “will of the people” with undeniable loyalty to country first…above self-interests and narcissistic egoism…A theory that treats self-interest as the foundation of morality…coupled with narcissistic…an inflated sense of self-importance…a combustible mixture of disaster and destruction.

America cannot afford any further disasters or destruction…We are a Nation hanging by a thread…

America cannot afford to continue down the path it has been threading…created by self-indulgent, cruel, manipulative individuals and groups, pushing self-serving agendas while convincing the masses that these manipulations are THEIR agenda…wants… and needs.

A young man is dead. He has a name…Thomas Crooks. He was 20 years of age…On January 6, 2021, he witnessed an act, as did all America and the world, which shook this country to its very core…An attack on the Capitol Building…an attack on Democracy…instigated and spurred on by a “President”. One who took an oath to protect the country…and the Constitution. A President telling anyone who would listen….that the election of another President…was “rigged” and something had to be done…yet…he was elected by that same rigged democracy…and it was good! This was not the history of a nation being taught in school…History lauds Patriots…especially those who stand up for country and citizens…

To top it all off, we get a Supreme Court of Presidential, lifetime appointees, from Trump’s administration, who negated sentences of insurrectionists…and gave a self-indulgent former president…a free-pass to absolute power…above and beyond the Constitution…

Thomas Crooks wanted a better country…better conditions…freedom…a better future…He was without hope…he chose a way he believed could end his hopelessness…and the hopelessness of others of his generation…and without. He knew he would lose his life…to hopefully give life…and a future of hope… to those lamenting around him…Thomas Crooks was created by a Nation that does not know what it stands for…other than division and chaos….

We all want a better country…one that is not ruled by men like Trump and a host of others in our government…who will not move aside for change and progress…Old or young. Mental acuity is in question for many in politics…in all three branches of government… under the age of 50!!!

The era of “Self-indulgent and Self-absorbed politics” is over…

A patriot is a person who vigorously supports their country and is prepared to defend it against enemies or detractors…something our governing bodies have failed to do…and haven’t the courage to do…to use the laws and amend them to vigorously support our country…prepared to defend it against enemies and detractors…especially those who exist within our country….

Saturday, July 13, 2024, in Bethel Park, PA did not need to be…Decades of self-absorbed politicians…created it…and continue to create circumstances which result in loss of life…on every level of living.

Everyday…Mothers lose sons…daughters…husbands…fathers…aunts…uncles…grandmothers…grandfathers…cousins…friends…neighbors…to gun violence…and in service to a country they believe in…give up family…life and limb for…and they are rewarded with crumbs from the table…along with betrayal after betrayal of promises made for votes of election and re-election…only to fall victims to the self-serving individuals, once their place is secured.

What is given…is never enough by any standard…citizens are expected to give and give and give and give…while what is given in return…never quite measures up to what is given…and taken by the government…always wanting to take away a decent and fair quality of life…for the masses…not for themselves…

What do we stand for as a nation?

Sheep being led to slaughter…is a world view…

The only victims here were those who were killed…and critically injured…traumatized… and those raising anger and resentment at what happened. This is not a one-sided story…it is one that has many players and characters…leading up to moments such as these…the failure to do what’s right is always lacking in all stories resulting in tragedy. The most sobering of all realizations is…it could have been avoided.

What DO we stand for as a Nation?

Can we stand more of what is created by ignorance and self-aggrandizements?

Do we stand for liberty?

Do we stand for death?

Do we stand for change…progress and the healing and unifying of our Nation?

Archaic politicians are no longer viable in the 21st Century…Archaic ways…thoughts and actions must be relegated to the Past of their day and era…

Change and progress can no longer be denied…or ignored.

Until everyone stands for country first…and our humanity…We will stand…divided…and forever…lost in darkness….

One Nation…Godless…Divisible.

We…Must…Stand…
