Days of reckoning

Whatever, there must be a majority resonance of anguish and agony beyond resentment and restraint – a sickened, visceral sense of insufferable evil in the house. 

Slow, surreal, slip-slide socialism would have taken a long time to recognize on the big stage for its evil manner.  Hallelujah, most players were in the fast lane.  Godspeed; the sooner outed and ousted the better. 

Three matters could have come to mind to have hastened the days of reckoning – godless leadership, bent rules of law and order, something really big and likelier sudden and maybe horrendous. 

Lacking leaders and liberty

First, there had been virtuless and immoral national leaders and lackeys mostly on, not off, for decades.  Oh, take a few recent snapshots from a thick, Presidential portfolio alone – the Oval Office carpet despoiled, open market mechanics recanted, despotic beasts bowed over, backed up, and broed.  There was the repugnant and resolute:  flood the stream of godless governance, and dam the stream of religion, morality, and virtue.  You can’t have f..led some of the people hardly ever or not for long; political leadership had earned its disrepute and disputation.  Government grasped to have been the god before them. 

Socialism must blind morality – individual judgment of good and evil, of right and wrong - and morality’s source, socialism’s antagonist – religion – and morality’s use – individual virtue – by amoral subjugation to the governing.  One-on-one, individual INDIVIDUAL had been anathema to coerced equality, as state sovereignty had been anathema to federal socialism.  Pitchfork 

Government’s repression of individual prosperity by repression of individual opportunity had ever been a tough pill to swallow whole, especially for those who’ve been there, done that more freely; the governing have been despised, demoted, defamed, deposed, deported, and [done-in] for lesser evils. 

“But as soon as a man lifts his nose from the ground and starts sniffing at eternal problems like life and [not so much], the meaning of a rose or a star cluster—then he is in trouble. Most men spare themselves this trouble by keeping their minds on the small problems of their lives just as their society maps these problems out for them.”  Ernest Becker 

“It’s not easy being green.”  Kermit 

“Green is green.’’  Russell S. Thomas, MD 

There could have come a time when losing freedoms shaded to too many freedoms lost.  There could have come a moment when submission slithered into servility; it would have been an in-your-belly thing.  There could have hung before the mind’s eye memorable imprints of the America you knew, the American Way and, having looked around, this wasn’t it.  Could it have been that government force had become unbearably too much government and too much force?  Evil is in noxious abundance, could not have been abided by greater numbers in Amerika.

‘Rules is rules’ is not for some folks

Second, the rule of law and the rightness of things had been bent to serve the governing and not the governed.  When was a contract not a contract?  When was it that what you owned no longer belonged to you?  When was alien invasion OK?  Had you seen a human abortion from start to finish?   Who shouldn’t distinguish country from government?  When was transparency opaque?  When was social assimilation wrong?  Why wasn’t multiculturalism rather bigotry-lite and divisive of a national identity?  What was good about the godless secular?  When wasn’t censorship another word for political correctness?  Would that single-parent families were government-promoted again?  What meant fair?  Equal outcomes, equal health, equal wealth, equal abundance, home ownership – equal stuff – how were these legal rights?  And once new rights had been given, would that rights could have been taken away?  What had made America tick – its government or its economy?  How about having had your pay regulated, too, hmm?
