Let's Talk About Words...

This will be a simple but hopefully impactful blog.  Following are some terms I want you to read the definitions and descriptions of. 

Racism - prejudice, discrimination, or antagonism directed at someone from a different race based on the belief that one's own race is superior.

Bigotry - intolerance toward those who hold different opinions from oneself.

Misogyny - dislike of, contempt for, or ingrained prejudice against women.

Narcissism - extreme selfishness, with a grandiose view of one's own talents and a craving for admiration, as characterizing a personality type.

Egotism - the practice of talking and thinking about oneself excessively because of an undue sense of self-importance.

Autocracy - government in which one person is in total control.

What are the signs of someone wanting to become an Autocrat?

  • They see themselves as "very special" people
  • They feel deserving of admiration.
  • They have difficulty empathizing with the feelings and needs of others.
  • They display a pervasive pattern of grandiosity.
  • They often behave with a vindictiveness often observed in narcissistic personality disorder.
  • Although their rule is with an iron fist, they often behave in a matter driven by a hidden, extreme, and sometimes irrational fear of what fate might befall them. 
  • They often say they are the savior of their people, or the only people capable of ruling in such a perfect way; denouncing former leadership as being complete failures in comparison.
  • They have a complete inability to accept fault for anything that goes wrong, and will not apologize for anything. 
  • They use lies and deflection to drive their narratives to the people.

Those are just a few examples. 

Now, I have used quite a few terms to describe our current president over the past couple of years, and some of those terms are listed above.  This is most definitely not an all-inclusive list, but I wanted to put the words and definitions above to show you how obvious it is that the words and actions of our president almost perfectly fit each of the definitions and descriptions above.

Why doesn't this concern more people than it does?  We have a Racist, Misogynistic, Narcissistic, Egotistical, Bigot who wants to be an Autocrat running our country right now, and not enough people seem to care. 

Vote.  If you are Republicans, vote Democratic in November.  If you are Democrats, vote Democratic in November.  If you are Undecided, Independents, Greenies, Libertarians, or members of any other party, vote Democratic in November.

I never vote straight ticket, but when it comes to Senate and House Seats, vote Democratic in November so that something can be done to break up the culture of corruption we currently have in Washington. 

GET OUT AND VOTE.  There is no excuse not to.  If you have plans on voting day, get an absentee ballot and vote.  The future of this country depends upon the people standing up and demanding change, and November is our next opportunity to do just that.

Trump and the DOJ Trying to Silence Mueller...

Mueller is set to sit in front of Congress on Wednesday this week and answer questions regarding the Mueller Investigation.  The DOJ, and organization that is supposed to look out for the best interests of America but has recently decided to become Trump's personal Law Firm, has sent correspondence to Mueller about what he can and cannot answer. For instance, you have the question of the 10 documented cases of obstruction in volume 2 of the report.  Mueller made it clear that he was bound by DOJ policy and could not indict a sitting president.  One very important question the Congressional Leadership will likely ask is, "If Donald Trump wasn't the sitting President, would you have indicted him based on the amount of evidence in the report?"  That question in every respect is fair.  You are asking the head of an investigation if they would have indicted someone had an arbitrary roadblock not been in place.  I say arbitrary roadblock because the policy is...

Our current state of events....

Trump Tweet 10/29/18 - "There is great anger in our Country caused in part by inaccurate, and even fraudulent, reporting of the news.  The Fake News Media, the true Enemy of the People, must stop the open & obvious hostility & report the news accurately & fairly.  That will do much to put out the flame..." "...of Anger and Outrage and we will then be able to bring all sides together in Peace and Harmony.  Fake News Must End!" Trump Tweet 10/28/18 - "The Fake News is doing everything in their power to blame Republicans, Conservatives and me for the division and hatred that has been going on for so long in our Country.  Actually, it is their Fake & Dishonest reporting which is causing problems far greater than they understand!" So I wanted to start this blog with a message from the President.  As you can see, the President has an interesting perception of the Free Press. Since Just July of this year, the President has called the Press i...

Unity in spite of differences is the way to win...

I have watched the splintering of the Democratic Party over the past couple of years, and it is very concerning.  The party has broken into smaller pieces and the infighting has become far more prevalent since the November, 2018, Elections.  What we are seeing at this point are viewpoints of essentially 3 generations of leaders coming to a head, and an unwillingness for any of them to work together toward a common goal.  Look at the Republican Party right now.  Do you think Evangelicals truly love Trump?  Heck no they don't.  Trump's words and actions go against nearly everything those Evangelicals believe in, but they show their full support because he will push for the policy positions they believe in, like in the case of abortion.  They love that McConnell is loading the courts with Judges who may just try to overturn historic abortion law, and hold judicial power for nearly a generation moving forward; even if the right loses power.  Do yo...
