Speaking Truth to Power

    • AMERICAN VALUES OVER AUTOCRACY.
    • BENEVOLENCE OVER BIGOTRY.
    • THE CONSTITUTION OVER THE CODE.
    • DEMOCRACY OVER DEMAGOGUES.
    • ECONOMIC OPPORTUNITY OVER EXTREMISM.
    • FREEDOM OVER FASCISM.
    • GOVERNING OVER GASLIGHTING.
    • HOPEFULNESS OVER HATRED.
    • INCLUSION OVER ISOLATION.
    • JUSTICE OVER JUDICIAL OVERREACH.
    • KNOWLEDGE OVER KANGAROO COURTS.
    • LIBERTY OVER LIMITATION.
    • MATURITY OVER MAR-A-LAGO.
    • NORMALCY OVER NEGATIVITY.
    • OPPORTUNITY OVER OBSTRUCTION.
    • PEOPLE OVER POLITICS.
    • QUALITY OF LIFE ISSUES OVER Q-ANON.
    • REASON OVER RACISM.
    • SUBSTANCE OVER SLANDER.
    • TRIUMPH OVER TYRANNY.
    • UNDERSTANDING OVER UGLINESS.
    • VOTING RIGHTS OVER VOTER SUPPRESSION.
    • WORKING FAMILIES OVER THE WELL-CONNECTED.
    • XENNIAL OVER XENOPHOBIA.

Did you catch the looks on the faces of McCarthy and the Q-Anon contingent as soon as he started on this list? It was priceless!

And somehow, this also seems appropriate to post in this context…

America is a Gun

England is a cup of tea.
France, a wheel of ripened brie.
Greece, a short, squat olive tree.
America is a gun.

Brazil is football on the sand.
Argentina, Maradona's hand.
Germany, an oompah band.
America is a gun.

Holland is a wooden shoe.
Hungary, a goulash stew.
Australia, a kangaroo.
America is a gun.

Japan is a thermal spring.
Scotland is a highland fling.
Oh, better to be anything
than America as a gun.
