Once again, it has been a long time since I’ve shared my
thoughts here. Not for lack of wanting,
but as personal and professional crises came and went (some more than
overstayed their welcomes), time marched on.
Or should I say ran on at a breakneck pace.
And not for lack of material, either. Let me clarify: The thoughts are always there, wandering in
and out of my daily processes. Until it’s
time for them to materialize and they begin running amok and refuse to
organize themselves into something rational.
It is past time for me to get these thoughts out of my
head and onto something less porous, and I have been laboring long over the best
words to describe them.
What is happening here?
Less than half of our American citizens (based on the vote totals) were
sold a bill of goods by a carnival barker; a snake oil salesman. Yet he is now less than two weeks away from moving
into the White House.
Where is the moral majority? The religious right? Where are the Evangelicals? Over the last several years they have been
more than vocal about requiring “people of faith” to occupy our highest offices,
and they now support a person who cheated on his first wife with his second,
and then cheated on his second wife with his third. A person who boasted about how “hot” his
daughter was on a nationally syndicated talk show!
There is something seriously
wrong with this person.
Where are the grownups? The adults? This is an individual (I won’t call him a “man,” in my
opinion he hasn’t earned the distinction) who is on tape bragging about groping
women, on tape mocking the handicapped, on tape throwing “F” bombs from the
stage, on tape denigrating women (“blood coming out of her ... wherever”), and
spends more time on Twitter than a teenager on recess. I’m sorry, but when a serious question is
posed to the presumed leader of the free world, the response should never begin
with “I tweeted”.
There is something seriously
wrong with this person.
Enough. I’m going
on a tangent. But that’s the way I see
it.
