Life in Wonderland - or is it Oz?





"This did not happen over night. It happened because America took its eye off the ball. It happened in the school systems, the colleges, the city halls. Soon, the contagion of socialism and ignorance had spread across the land, and it started looking for a warm and moist place to grow and fester. It then found the Democrat Party. And that is how we got to where we are today."



I would like to go back in time, maybe just a few decades, and catch the proverbial "man on the street". I would describe what is going on today in our world/country. After a short while, he would want my head examined. Why? First off, what is happening today makes no sense. None, what so ever.

I would tell him, we are probably going to start an impeachment trial next week, on a President who has committed no crime. A President who is trying to stare down Iran as well as other bad actors, so we don't have to fire any missiles or bullets in anger at them. A President who has brought us the greatest economy in perhaps - forever.

What we should be doing for Donald Trump, rather than putting him on trial in the Senate, is prepping Mount Rushmore for another head. This man is a leader like no other we have had. Yes, I am throwing Ronald Reagan in the mix - and I loved the Gipper!

The "man in the street" from a few decades ago would ask me why we are doing what we are doing. I would explain to him that the country is fractured. The last President we had really did a number on us. Democrats are no longer democrats. They have morphed into socialists, and one of the leading candidates for President (on the Democrat side) is a 100% socialist. At that point in time, the "man in the street" will wonder if I escaped from Wonderland or Oz. That type of thing CANNOT happen in the United States of America! At that point in time, I really tell him the bad news.

First the good news. The President and Vice President we have right now are excellent. If we re-elect them, we can have them for four more years. But there is another side to this coin. And it is very bad news. The number three person in succession to the White House, is still the Speaker of the House. And in 2020, we have a doozie. She is old, vicious, and could not put a sentence together if her life depended on it. SHE is the one driving the train on having our innocent President impeached. If for some reason, she ever gained control of this country, we, as well as our fantastic economy would be doomed. She may not be a socialist like Bernie is, but very close to it.

By now, the "man in the street" is ready to jump off a building. In his mind he is thinking, "This cannot be our future!". But it can be sir - and it is. Right now the country is on the verge of a "hot" civil war. We have been in a "cold" civil war since Barack Obama took our country in a very bad direction, and further divided us six ways from Sunday.

I would then tell the "man in the street" this, and this one is really going to hurt. It is your fault this happened. As he looks at me with saucer eyes and a wide open mouth, I would continue - "This did not happen over night. It happened because America took its eye off the ball. It happened in the school systems, the colleges, the city halls. Soon, the contagion of socialism and ignorance had spread across the land, and it started looking for a warm and moist place to grow and fester. It then found the Democrat Party. And that is how we got to where we are today."

2020 is the year we can beat back this contagion. We can escape from Wonderland and Oz. We can elect grown ups who have grown up beliefs to run this  country, and send the socialists scurrying. Unfortunately, the "man in the street" from decades ago, can't do anything. Time has passed him by. But we can. Our future is in our hands. We need to take back the country. Now.
