I know we're all tired, but now is not the time to get overwhelmed and to disengage. We need to go out purposefully, en masse, and vote the scoundrels who have supported and enabled Trump OUT!!!<br />Jenniferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12512800812290518552noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3830720322970025712.post-30149045658104825902018-07-04T12:04:45.178-04:002018-07-04T12:04:45.178-04:00Thanks for that!

In fact, given that the Americans had won exactly zero major engagements at that point, it seemed pretty likely that they wouldn't. And if they lost, there was a 100% chance that all of them would be tried and executed as traitors. It wasn't a wild fantasy. It was what they imagined the future probably held for them.<br /><br />My point? History is never comforting when it's happening. More often than not, it's dark as hell. The ones who are brave in spite of it are the ones we remember."Jenniferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12512800812290518552noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3830720322970025712.post-9234729626327043592018-07-03T17:33:00.323-04:002018-07-03T17:33:00.323-04:00Wow!

The facts are the same and why isn't this being used to impeach the man? <br />I never really celebrate the 4th. Just like with religion- I did not get the gene for patriotism. But that does not mean that the country I was born into by complete and utter chance doesn't stand for something because it does. Freedom, yes, and equality for all. Have we ever met those standards? Nah. But dammit, we sure have tried, sometimes a lot harder than other times. And when the very tenets of our government, our way of life are being kicked out from underneath us, it is appropriate to remind ourselves of how this country was formed and how important it is to keep the spirit of revolution alive in times when it is called for. <br />And Lord, it's being called for now. <br />That's what I think. <br />Thanks for this post.
