GM CEO resigns — at Obama’s behest

I’m going to post something very personal, in the hopes that some one or more of you might begin to understand just how vital this great nation is, and how important it is that we take it back from those whose perspectives are in distant lands of failed social policies that have ruined their own great nations for generations to come. And which is why they are now trying to reverse the wrongs that their predecessors have committed.

There was a time, to begin the storytelling as only a storyteller can, when common folk in a budding nation pulled together to survive the harshness that, it seemed, plagued them and their children, and caused hardship to be inflicted.

There are some who would say that hardship comprised racism in that slavery was an accepted norm. There are others who would say that hardship comprised greed in land claims, driving off Native Americans from their rightfully owned lands.

And yet, there are some who would say that hardship involved pursuing new adventures and exploring new lands, because human nature requires and mandates a childlike exploration of the known universe!

And along the way we, our ancestors, hurt others. Survival is hard. Survival is the key to the survival of all, oh God, isn’t it??

We survived. And in subsequent generations, we thrived, through our hard work, and our ingenuity. And we overcame the nastiness of the inhumanity of some who would, through greed and a covetousness of power, would rob others of a modest everyday living in order to control……what? Has anyone ever figured that out? I did, finally: To Control: For the sake of controlling! A power grab, for no greater motivation other than to obtain the power and the rewards that drenches the very activity of achieving unwarranted power grabs.

And these same people, and yes, I’ll name them: Liberals, Progressives, Democrats…… have worked hard, very very hard in the past four or five decades, to convince the majority of everyday American residents and citizens that they are defective.

What? Defective? How can I possibly claim such a demeaning thing? Ummmm……it’s fairly obvious. Obama, and the Democrats, are convinced that we’re at fault, supremely, for every wrong, every severe and unwarranted attack on Americans. Simply because at one time our forebearers actually believed that slavery was natural. And because our ancestors believed that taking land from so-called “Natives” was the natural course in the progression of the human spirit.

So what? Again: SO WHAT???

So what was so bad about what they, two hundred and more years ago, did?

Well, it was wrong. Yes indeedy, it was terribly wrong. The keeping of ‘slaves’, the taking of land from ‘natives’, was wrong.

But it was the norm then. Yes, it was. And the people who lived in those times honestly, and truly, believed with all their hearts, as they attempted to survive in vastly more primitive conditions that we can ever imagine in today’s world, that it was the ‘normal’ way of life.

Still, the Libs of today would have us all carry a cartload of guilt involving injustices that occurred well over a hundred years ago. It doesn’t matter to them that we were the first nation to completely go to war, and a monstrously savage Civil War at that, to fight against and abolish slavery!

And never mind that the so-called “Natives” were taking slave themselves, and honoring all who proved their bravery by producing ‘scalps’ as proof of their ability to protect and defend….. Long before we landed here, and were robbing and pillaging other “Native” villages to claim an easier life than they had known, they were, truth be told, doing it themselves. Dontcha know it was just “human nature” back then to try to survive, even if it meant killing others to free up resources for our loved ones so that they might survive. Back then, hundreds of years ago, they didn’t have electricity. They didn’t have city water and sewer. They didn’t have natural gas heating, or coal heating, or oil heating. They didn’t have cars to get around for shopping and entertainment. So they did what they had to do in order to survive!

Now for the personal stuff, if you’ve been kind enough to hang around this long…..

I have an incurable disease. It’s a rare form of Rheumatoid Arthritis that attacks more than the usual joints in the hands and feet and such. It also attacks vital organs, and the lungs are shot due to a pleural effusion in the left one, and nodules afflicting the right one, plus an asthmatic condition brought on by the RA. And it’s attacking my vocal chords, and esophagus, spine, jaw, and we won’t even begin to talk about my liver and other things that can make one’s life seem unbearable.

But the thing that keeps me hanging on is you. Yep, you heard that right, it’s you! You keep me hanging on here, knowing that our incredible nation, our much coveted land of freedoms and liberties, can and will survive if we but have the faith and belief that we have lived uncounted hardships in order to evolve to a better place. A place of awareness and understanding that human rights are not birth given, but earned.

We have, yes we have, learned, from our experiences. Regardless of what others would try to dump on you, we have learned that humans are precious, regardless of race or creed or sexual orientation or age. We have indeed learned this, all of this, elsewise how is it that we could have possibly elected a Black president?

I have been to 43 of our incredible 50 states, and have been awed by the basic generousness and humanity of the USA’s wonderful people. I’ve been bowed by the basic loving nature of those who revere this land, and struggle to reconcile what is going on now.

Don’t let them take this away from you. Regardless of the heritage that the Libs would try to burden us with regardless evolved awarenesses that we once may have possessed, we have indeed learned from our history and our experiences. More than any other nation on planet earth, truth be told. Don’t every give up who you are, because you are special, and you are precious, and you are strong warriors in the face of adversity. That, as Americans, is something they can never take away from us.

Now the Trolls will come out in force to attack every one of my arguments.

But, dear ones, never ever forget, that humanity is a shared experience. One that the Libs have persistently tried to alienate us from. Because that is how they gain power and control. Lest we lose our own humanity, we must, must pull together to defeat the monstrosity that has become our fellow American Libs, and for their own sake, and especially ours and our children’s, we must stop them.
