Patriotic Pollyanna

Earlier this week, I mentioned reading the Constitution, to understand more about the secular government that's supposed to be running the country. Then, it dawned on me....some of you might not be able to comprehend what you're reading! And, that's ok! In this blog, I'll attempt to break it down for you. I need to warn you, though; this one's pretty long.... The Preamble We the People - ALL citizens regardless of race, social status, sexual orientation, gender identification, employment status, age, ability, political affiliation, etc. Establish - to set up (an organization, system, or set of rules) on a firm or permanent basis Justice - fairness, justness, fair play, fair-mindedness, equity, impartiality, objectivity, neutrality, honesty, morality Tranquility - peace, peacefulness, restfulness, repose, calmness, quietness an example of tranquility would be no gangs, no mass shootings, no discrimination (of any kind), no wars Common defense - t...

Like most of you, I've seen a lot of controversy over how certain US citizens are disrespecting their country, their flag, the National Anthem, etc. So, since it's Flag Day, I'm going to throw my two cents in. A lady by the name of Ruth Apperson Rous wrote something about the US flag; she penned it as though the flag itself were speaking. It's quite inspiring to read... take a look ! Did you have your rose-colored glasses on, when you read it? I'll get to the point of that question in a minute. In this writing, the flag mentions that it has it's own laws; that is, indeed, correct. And, no surprise here, the majority of American citizens (myself included) have ignorantly (and repetitively) broken most of the laws, concerning the proper use and display of the US Flag. You can read the Code, here . I say we've ignorantly broken them, because while I was growing up I never knew these regulations existed; I don't know of anyone who did. And, if they did, no...

“America will never be a socialist country!” - Trump Socialism is being used as a "monster in the closet", by the right; and a mislabeled ideology, by the left. It's all just talking points, so that we'll stay ignorant and controllable (this is a personal opinion; I love my country, just not my government). What We the People should never become is an Oligarchy....oops; we blinked. It's too late. Socialism - a theory or system of social organization that advocates the vesting of the ownership and control of the means of production and distribution, of capital, land, etc., in the community as a whole. Oligarchy - a form of government in which all power is vested in a few persons or in a dominant class or clique; government by the few. The Oligarchy, currently running the show, is the Billionaire Class. They've been purchasing our government for decades; even to the point of getting the law makers to declare the right of personhood to Corporate Ame...

You may have a photographic memory, you may stand 6’ tall; you may be the youngest in a large family. Has anyone ever threatened your life, because of any of those things? Be blessed, if you answered “no” to that question. Being proud of a natural attribute isn’t really something to brag about; unless you can say you live your life, being you, and no one targets you because of your natural attributes...that’s pretty amazing! No one from the LGBTQ community can brag that they live their lives, being themselves, free of persecution. Whether they are the youngest member of their family, stand 6’ tall, or have a photographic memory, society sees them all as a threat to the status quo. All because they’re not “normal”. They are still humans; but because they’re not straight, or happy with their own outward appearance, they are vilified, tortured, killed…..hated. Why? They can’t change who they are, anymore than you or I can. They are who they are; and they’ve been around fo...

I am neither a Democrat, nor a Republican; I constantly find myself stating that I don't fly party flags, because I can think for myself. I realize that sounds a bit snobby, but this is how I feel. And this is why; these two major parties are always doing their best to condition us on what we're supposed to think, how we should feel about this issue, or that issue; and how we should treat each other. I will never subscribe to being brainwashed; the politically correct term for that is " indoctrinated ". I can think for myself, thank you. This post is rather long; but, this is what I believe.... The American Dream is being restored for the Billionaire Class , not for We the People. A rebirth of Constitutional government would require all parties to work together , not play tug-of-war over who will get the biggest donations, next campaign; or take pot shots at each other, like their all still in Middle School. Congress should be creating laws based on mut...
