In the earlier days of the COVID Shuffle, I had made a blog that no one paid any mind to since it was titled, The Lemon Pledge of Allegiance. It had the face of the main character in the movie, Network, and also ended with an American flag that had one revision...a swaztika in place of the stars in blue.
It is a darkly funny view, though I wanted to show how mad and active we could get with the Network bit and the flag was to illustrate what it would like if President Trump and the Trumpsters had their way with so called White Supremacy. Many took it the wrong way and thought I was endorsing Nazism. Nothing could be further from the truth. My late mother endured the cruelties of Nazi Germany, then split when the Russian Communists took over at the end of World War II. Dad was G.I. Joe in post war West Germany and brought her to America in 1956. I have a recent blog titled, How Tyranny Works and Doesn’t Work!. She was and more like an American than anything else and was like that until her passing at 83 in February 2012. All the males in my family on both sides, served in the military. All four branches at that too! I was Army in ‘84.
Anyway. I felt it time to dig up this and see how it applies and is at least, remotely funny. We need a laugh in the mist of all the shenanigans taking place at the moment. Always, no matter what, enjoy the lighter side and have a sense of humor. That is something no one can, or should even, take away from you.
I pledge of allegiance to the graft of the United Fakes of America and to the corporations, of which it stands, one so called nation, under President Trump’s so called ‘God’, totally divisible, with selective liberty and some justice for all…those that are rich and powerful!
I defy anyone to argue that all said is not the truth! We have a system of graft (underhandedness), and have those in office who, for the lack of better words…fakes, and of course the corporation control of things, we are now being viewed as ‘less than a nation’, with a cryptic interpretation of ‘God’, polarized and separated from one another, and liberty with restrictions on all sorts of folks, and true justice for those with highly paid attorneys and connections with high places!
IF that isn’t America right now, I don’t know what is! Time for a real change!
We the People! Remember that one?
