The Beautiful Obligation

We in America have at this time a beautiful obligation. As regular readers of this blog will understand, the democratic republic of the United States has been under attack from within and without for a number of years. The attackers have not been bearded men in long white robes, but men and women in suits and men and one woman in long, black robes.

The suited men and the power-suited women (but mostly men, I dare say) have been the moguls of finance, who, working in concert with like-minded colleagues in the world financial order, have worked to out-source both jobs and money from the United States to foreign lands. The men and one woman in long, black robes were the fascist members of the A.D. 2000 Supreme Court, who traitorously gave the election to a man who did not earn it after a fair counting of the votes, and who, indeed never had the majority of the popular vote.

Several authors have worked hard to document all this. Some of these authors are given in other places on this web log. I commend them to you. In coming days I intend to add further information on the resources which are available to you.

But for now, let me underscore the choice we have to make. We in America now can either stand up for a continuance of the world's oldest democracy or we can stick our necks in the sand and take what seems to be the safe route. As for me, I choose to stand with the democracy I was taught as a young boy and came to love deeply as a young man. I say proudly that I have no other choice. To decide differently would be to dishonor not only my country, but myself.

So onward toward further brave seeing, toward impeachment, toward securing the right to vote. This democracy is far from finished. Let us be about the honorable business of securing its rights and privileges for another generation.
