Republicans have gone full Fascist since W, and his sidekick Dick, took the US into Iraq based on bogus fabricated BS. Since T***p & Putin orchestrated their hostile takeover of our government, the worst characters have come out from the shadows of the farthest fringes of conservative craziness and now reveal their hatred for decency and democracy. Donnie Dotard and his Deplorables openly pursue the destruction of Truth, Justice, and the American Way.
Together, we and our allies push against these anti-democratic, disturbed individuals, and their supporters, enablers, and financial backers. We have made important progress toward a better world since electing President Biden and many wonderful Democrats, but so much still remains to be done. I offer this to encourage our DKos community to continue these efforts, and prevail over the dark forces of depravity and death all around us. Our courage and commitment power us to become the “more perfect Union” the Founders sought to establish. May we join our hearts and minds to make the best life possible for ourselves and future generations!
I hope you can each find some inspiration from this work:
DECEIVERS, LIARS,HYPOCRITES
Deceivers, liars, hypocrites:
Who prey upon the innocents;
Who distort the facts with forked tongues
And for their fortunes eat our young;
The wolves who come as gentle lambs,
The serpents with blood on their hands;
The false, the proud, the arrogant,
Who mesmerize the ignorant;
Who brazenly pursue their goals
To gain the world, be damned their souls;
Their venom wrapped in words of faith
To hide their lust for flesh and death….
Following the tortured and demented
Away from truth, as they’ve demanded.
Liars, hypocrites, deceivers:
Posing as the true believers,
While they worship at the altar
Of the wholly almighty dollar;
They beat the plowshares into swords
(Pre-emption has untold rewards);
Their smiles and designer boots
Hide cloven hooves and thugs in suits,
Who lead the righteous hopeful people
Into the darkened depths of evil
.….While all the hopeless blind and deaf
Still walk the worldly way of death,
Following the twisted apocalypso-mad
Away from truth, as they demand.
Hypocrites, deceivers, liars:
Who steal or kill our heart’s desires;
Their grand illusions are immense —
All suffer under their pretense;
Their hatred, too, is so intense
They fan the flames of violence;
They seek only to destroy
Our faith and hope, our strength and joy,
To be replaced by doubt and fear
So we can neither see nor hear;
’Til maybe we might just forget,
In a selfishness that ends in death…
Following the wicked and the damned
Away from truth, as they demand.
Awake! And walk towards the light!
Into the truth is abundant life!
It’s not for wealth the wise man searches;
The riches of this world are worthless.
The humbled heart knows its greatest purpose:
An honest life given in selfless service;
Become a beacon against the night
By being a living sacrifice.
’Til goodness flows with every breath —
And overcomes the fear of death!
Know your heart was born with power:
Open it up like a perfect flower…
Love is, indeed, the answer.
Away from truth leads to disaster.
