The GOP just don't get it.

Societies over the course of recorded history have tended heavily toward monarchical rule. Republican governments and democracies aren't uncommon forms of government, but they do not tend to last nearly as long or be as stable and secure as monarchies. In fact, many a republic has grown unstable and devolved to where one man takes complete power and rules as a dictator. The United States has come close to this several times. Considering how many people put complete trust and faith in Barack Obama, and how many people, now, have placed all of their faith and trust in Donald Trump, I must ask the question: are we really that far from being a dictatorship? No, because we have been teetering on that cusp for roughly 230 years. The only things that have kept us from falling back into becoming part of one man's empire are the Constitution and those of us who defend it. Sadly, some of the people we just elected to serve in the U.S. government just don't get it. I cannot help but wonder if they, somehow, see themselves as benevolent monarchs, trying to do what they think is best for the masses.

Way, Way Down in the Rabbit Hole

Yes, I know that it's been a while since I've posted. Nothing in particular kept me away from here, I was just sick of all the pre- and post-election garbage spewing out of the mouths of dolts and malcontents, and I was trying to stay away from it. You know, to prevent further distress on my body systems. Yes, it has been an interesting first two months (roughly) since Trump became President of these United States, and I have made every effort to simply observe what is occurring from as far a distance as reasonably possible. I admit that I am still hoping the man succeeds at restoring order and civility in this country, but we all know the likelihood of that, don't we? The people who want to literally destroy America and its Constitution from within are not relenting. If anything, they are more vocal than ever, and the GOP, the alleged "conservative" of the two ruling parties, is more progressive than ever. People voted for Trump and they voted for Republican representatives in record numbers because they want two things: good jobs and less government interference in their daily lives. We're not getting that, are we, folks? So far, not really.

I guess I just wanted to run of at the fingers for a minute. Please pray for me, as I have rather severely pulled my lower back, and it is preventing me from doing much. Please, pray for our country and for its leaders, that they grow a pair and stick to conservative principles instead tucking their tail between their legs every time some liberal starts screaming her head off. God bless, you, folks. Maybe I'll write some more tomorrow.
