To all those who may still be "following" me on Facebook. I would like to apologize for the articles I share exposing what this Administration is doing to our country and our world. (Side note - I make sure to verify as well as possible that these are not propaganda but truly well sourced articles.) I would like to. But I can't.
I've been on this earth, in this country, for over half a century. I've traveled to other parts of the world and been exposed to many ideas and different cultures. What I am witnessing now is the destruction of what I believed this country to be. My husband, who is a veteran, has stated this is not the country he fought for. Not the country he still carries shrapnel in his body for.
I, as a citizen, have been sometime violently woken from my complacency in assuming that although things were never perfect, they would never get so much worse that I became ashamed to identify myself as an American. I am not "unpatriotic". I do still believe in the country who was once the "shining light upon the hill". But what I see occurring on a daily, nay hourly basis, in the name of "we" as American citizens is beyond my scope to comprehend.
I am frightened for my and all others children. Their voice, the MAJORITIES' voice has been hijacked by corrupt, morally bankrupt members of Congress and this Administration. In the never ending quest to amass more power and re-election, Congress has lost its will to represent the people. The Administration is fostering and constantly fomenting new ideas to crush any and all opposition to anything not of benefit to them or their corporate "friends". This is no longer a time where I feel I can stay neutral.
Unfortunately, those who agree with me will continue to "follow" me, while those who don't, those who refuse to consider for one second the fate of the country instead of themselves, will never see or seek the truth.
Thank you to those who are open to critical thinking and evaluation. Let us not be a dying breed. Stick to the idea that "They tried to bury us not knowing we were seeds." It may take years to repair the damage but please keep up the good fight to lessen the damage as we may.
To all others, please open and use your intellect to understand what is at stake. I hope you stay with me but if you don't, you have my pity. One day, when you finally feel the effect of all of these things you've been supporting, your going to need someone on your side. May the rest of America forgive you and not slam the door in your face when you come seeking respite from what you have helped to create.
