Please forgive some spelling in previous posts ,
I just couldn't get the words down as quickly as they entered my mind .
Did I read that correctly..." ..Shame on you ...." It boggles the mind !!! Almost speechless but not quite !! Politics and the health of the Nation and it's people are all Health Issues and political comment belongs right here . Your medical system, your hospital system and especially the public health of the nation at large is about the most political area I can think of . A misguided , deceitful , neglectful , criminal ( at this point in 2021 ) administration has contributed to the premature deaths of a large portion of the 656, 000 HUMAN BEINGS who have lost their lives to a Pandemic which never should have been allowed to get out of control in a country with the resources of the USA !!! If we figure that all those dead people have an extended family of 5 or 6 or ten other people ..this multiple represents the true tragedy of families without Father , Mother , Sister , Brother . The Uncle who will never get to play ball with the kids in his life the Aunt who will never advise her Niece about that first date . The families with empty chairs around the lonely dinner tables that are now the norm in more than 650,000 homes in this country , this is and always will be the legacy of the four disastrous years of embarrassing and utterly Malicious , Malignant so called leadership in Washington . Even after this abonimable failed Regime has left the stage poison is still pedaled by the same people . Deworming Medication used by Vets to treat Horses or Cattle is being used by the ignorant followers of the same failed self serving politicians . It is really hard to fathom the workings of a mind that considers this to be a wise thing to do !!! People are showing up in the ER after ingesting , Bleach, Animal medication with a dosage intended intended for a 1,000 pound animal !!!
Could somebody please explain to me ( and others I'm sure ) when being an Anti Fascist ( yes folks ...ANTIFA actually stands for , repeat after me ...Anti Fascist ) became a bad thing ??? I can only assume that the people who appear to cheer on the Fascistic tendancies in society . Mussolini was a pretty reliable purveyor of the Fascist Ideology that was so destructive to normal civil society ....I will ask a member who appears to see Fascism in a favorable light so here goes Jackkau in Florida . Would you see Mussolini and his philosophy as a guiding light in "Fixing " this country and what exactly does it mean to be "Even Handed " in a discusion about a mass murdering Fascist who took an entire country down the road to A Nazi future ?? You probably never actually saw Mussolini chop someone's head off or swing a baby by the heels and shatter the tiny head into a concrete wall ??? so he might not have been such a bad guy ?? The people who OPPOSE this type off criminal are now YOUR enemy ...where does this come from ?? Just to repeat , ANTIFA means and stands for people who Oppose Fascist Dictators and Mass Murderers like Hitler and Mussolini , the Emperor of Japan during the war , this is the type of philosophy that is opposed by ANTIFA . You probably never saw the defeated Trump grab an unsuspecting woman / girl ...underage by her P...y but you did hear his request to send the US Army into the streets of Washington DC fully armed , locked and loaded to take care of protestors as any other self respecting Fascist Dictator would do ...get out the machine guns and mow them down while they practice freedom of expression guaranteed by the constitution .
A little side story about the country I was born in . Irish people have a day of mourning called "Bloody Sunday " , mirroring the "Bloody Sunday " in Selma Alabama in 1965 . At the same time that Martin Luther King was promoting peaceful protest all over the Southern States his message was not lost on the people of Northern Ireland . Jan 7th 1972 lives in infamy as the event that initiated what amounted to a civil war bombings , shootings , assinations which lasted until 1998 when agreements guaranteed Civil Rights for the large portion of the population of the Six Counties who did and do not agree with the occupation of Northern Ireland and control of this part ot the Island of Ireland by the British Government . On that fateful day in 1972 a large contingent of heavily armed British Paratroopers ( their function in life was to kill , that was their job ) opened fire on a peaceful march for civil rights . Unarmed civilians , Grandmothers, children demanding equal treatment under the law ( Not Better, just Equal ) . A priest at the head of the march waved a white flag and narrowly escaped as the troops shot at him while he gave last rites to a dying man . I do not dredge up this history to cry about ancient history , I bring it up because people like those who stormed the Capitol and those who walk around carrying weapons of war in civil society are actually threatening to start their own " Civil War " if they do not get their way . This delusional way of looking at the world , their world and their country which they profess to love and cherish is a very dangerous road to go down . This is not a game , not a shootemup role playing exercise , this is real , this is blood , this is people dying , not some fantasy in a computer game . A country divided cannot sustain itself and will eat itself alive . Those shots on Bloody Sunday actually reignited a civil war that began in 1921 with the division of Ireland where Brother fought against Brother and ended in the division which has haunted the country ever since . For the people who think that agreement can only be reached by Domination and not by Conversation , be warned ....be very careful what you wish for . Ireland suffered 25 years of murder, bombing , executions and destruction of whole families in both England and Ireland , when this crap starts there are no winners only losers and dead bodies and nobody is immune . The American Civil war may be far enough in the past that the reality of it just does not register with some people in a blood and guts way , like some tv show from years ago where details are forgotten . A disclaimer here . My Mom's Nephew died in prison , Pankhurst Prison on the Isle of Wight. he died while on Hunger Strike as a soldier in the Irish Republican Army while demanding prisoner of war classification , a point of honor for him and the others who died in the same prison for the same reason . He attended the same High School as me and he died the same year that I came to the US and he is buried a short distance from my parents . he was 24 years old . My town is near the border and the IRA became very active in my area so any one of my family could have gone down the same path . My Mom and Dad were totally against violence and that rubbed off on us .
What began as a peaceful demand for civil rights and Human rights descended into carnage and armed conflict . Anyone marching in the US streets with weapons of war slung over their shoulders , wearing flack jackets and threatening their fellow Americans is playing with disaster becauce once that freight train of destruction is in motion it is very hard to stop . Anyone criticising AntiFascist philosophy should really do a little research on the history of Fascism and inform yourself in order to speak intelligently on the subject .
Inform yourselves people !!! that is your responsibility as a resident and voter.
