What a great poem which in essence wasn’t listened to by anybody.
Maybe there was a five minute lull there, but really, if anything, this country since Amanda Gorman’s inspirational poem has sunk even deeper into the dual abyss of hatred and ignorance.
As I’ve clearly stated on my blog…I think both parties suck to varying degrees. That’s why when I left the Republican Party in 2000–it took me about five minutes to decide to re-register as an Independent and not as a Democrat.
You would have thought the party of Lincoln would have at the least had a reflective moment after January 6th, but not to be from the party of law and order and Christian evangelicals.
Not to be.
James Carvelle was absolutely right…it’s always about the money even when on film you have a departing president urging a group of disenfranchised whites trying to hang a sitting vice-president and overthrow an election.
Yikes. Even in the throes of the Civil War …Lincoln didn’t have to encounter this until they killed him after his re-election.
There doesn’t appear to be one courageous Republican senator like there was in 1972 when Howard Baker and Barry Goldwater went to Richard Nixon and told him it was over for him being president any longer.
In the end Trump was absolutely correct in 2016 when he said, “I could shoot someone in broad daylight in certain parts of our country and it wouldn’t matter.”
Trump was right. That’s how far the party of Lincoln has sunk and how nothing beyond their hatred of the far left matters any longer.
It was a beautiful poem delivered by Amanda Gorman, what a shame no one from the Party of Lincoln took the time to listen to it minus maybe Liz Cheney and several others.
Here we are fifty-three years since the assassination of Martin Luther King and from any social setting, let alone whites vs. blacks, that we find ourselves unable to decipher justice on any level even when it’s on film.
