wings
We in America are a sharply divided people. We have our share of a-holes, jerks, crooks, hypocrites and liars in positions of power—and we’re not headed for a good place. Can you see? Are we to succumb to the wiles of others? Are we going to continue to allow others to take away our freedom? For what purpose or grand illusions are we meekly accepting government control over our lives?
The only things of value in life are the wings one is born with. We are all born with wings and are blessed—our love, what we do, what we stand for and how we live—whether we soar by using our minds or wallow because we don’t is the prerogative of each human being. Some are not blessed with great intelligence but use the gift to accomplish great things for themselves and society—our world. Others are born with very high intelligence—higher than most others—but choose to ignore their gift. Some do not use their minds and hearts for good, a malady persistent on both the left and right of the political spectrum. Who, what we are, where and how we are reaching our life’s destination is the story of love or hate, peace or war, happiness—or horror. There are those who would take from us after watching the divide unfold terminally. There are those who are directing the orchestra and chorus of wingless voices.

One early explanation I recall was that of a lone figure who walked (forced marched) up and down the winding road to Lookout Mountain in Gadsden, Alabama.
He…

The violence of the left is legion and we must expect that it will continue. History teaches us the leftist will resort to any means to advance his agenda. Using violence is one of the tools of leftists and murder is not considered anything more than an element to them. That is, if death happens, it is better to be one of us rather than one of them but only to a minor degree. Not many actually care one way or another for it is the movement they shall make the…

Bernie Sanders filibusters the “tax bill compromise” because the deal allows the same rates to remain in effect for two years. He asked the question, “when is enough, enough?” He is talking about Americans—Americans who have been successful and earned more money than average folk… he is posing the issue as one in which the government is entitled to confiscate income because the earners can afford the hit and the government needs the money instead. It seems funding NPR is important enough to…
