YOU GOTTA LET EM GO

SQUEAKY

I resent what liberals, Progressives, politicians, and Islamists, have done to me! Many would regard me to be a humanitarian. I am no longer certain if that term would apply.

Many years ago a young relative brought me a partially feathered fledgling sparrow that had fallen from her nest. He said he didn't know what to do with the little thing. I didn't either, but I learned fast and I was soon squirting a nutritional paste down an open gullet. This was but the first of many winged orphans that I cared for and released, as people started learning of what I had done. Those little birds all kept coming back for a while, supplementing their diets until they found their own way in a harsh world. Add orphan cats to the list. I have three, Squeaky, Cyrano, and Baby. Each had been abandoned by their mothers and I bottle fed them every two hours around the clock to grant them a life that nature would have stolen.

Today, I have sadly reached the point where I still will care for the downtrodden but can now write off the worthless lives of some of my fellow human beings as superfluous. I do not like that feeling, but they have changed me and the resentment that I feel for the changes they have wrought is exceeded only by the resentment that I feel for what they have done to the nation I love.

In younger days I wore a Screaming Eagle on the shoulder of my uniform and silver wings on my chest, as did those around me. The 101st. Airborne was a very special gathering of men, for each was a volunteer in a time when the draft was still in place, each had sworn an oath, each proudly saluted the flag of this nation, and each knew the cost that might be paid for the honor of wearing that uniform. We were Airborne and we were proud of it.

Today, I look about and see a band of discordant anarchists, communists. liberals, and swine, hell bent on tearing down that flag and destroying what great men have fought and died for. These are the people that I must regard as superfluous and undeserving of the right to call themselves Americans. For them I feel but contempt and I shall mourn not their passing for they are but dirt beneath the boots of a patriot. 

Whether they openly embrace a cause that is anti American or if they simply are too stupid to realize the outcome of policies they promote, my attitude remains much the same. I possess neither the time nor the temperament to tolerate traitors or coddle the logically and morally challenged. One is a great danger, the other no more than an impediment, but both stand in the way of this nation's recovery.

I have a Facebook friend and a regular reader of my essays who resides in Georgia. We, on occasion, exchange thoughts via the comment section on the essays or Email. This morning he sent me an Email and that Email is why I have written this article, for he discusses a topic and a problem that many of us have been dealing with, the utter frustration of trying to convince loved ones that something evil this way cometh and they refuse to listen.

My friend writes:

Danny,

"In a recent email you mentioned that you have given up on your younger brother. I’m afraid I will have to do the same with mine.

I tried one more time to ring the bell with my extended family on what is coming. I read a good article on the Canadian Free Press website this morning that give a good short history and summary of our current economic crisis and impending crash. I took one more chance that I might open my two brother’s eyes. As you can see below, if you even want to read the exchange, it is hopeless.

 My one brother is a lawyer and a voracious reader. How can one be so blind? How many others out there are also so blinded to the corruption and the evil that is going on?"

 -- Richard

The article he sent to his brothers is listed at the end of this effort in Suggested Reading. He also added, for my viewing, the Email to his brothers and the reply from one of them. I do not feel that it would be proper for me to publish their thoughts in this, but I will quote one brief line that will well indicate that Richard has done his very best to alert his family members to the dangers he foresees. This is the first line of a reply from one of his brothers:

"Please STOP sending  me this stuff. I am tired of all of this conspiracy nonsense."

Two short sentences! Two short sentences that say so much! I have no idea how many times my friend has endeavored to have his brothers hope for the best, but prepare for the worst. That is good advice under any circumstances, but one thing is quite clear. His brother, a lawyer, a man who must always dot the Is and cross the Ts, a man who profession it is to be aware of all details, simply does not want to know. That is what I call willful blindness. 

I shall make no further direct quotes but will reveal that much of his reply to receiving unsolicited concern from his brother, and my friend, was to praise the accomplishments of the Obama regime. (Personal thought: I would not want this man for my lawyer.)

I wrote above about my disdain for Obama supporters and my lack of concern for their future welfare. That quite simply is me. My opinions are written in generalities expressing what I can live with when the time comes. Not all can do that and I would never suggest that anyone turn his or her back on a loved one. That is a personal decision that all must make when the time comes. It would appear that Richard has made that decision on his own, and while I do not envy him the soul searching that brought him to this point, I do admire the courage it required.

My response to my friend sharing his dilemma with me:

Richard,

"There is nothing more brutal in warfare than an infantry attack when the enemy holds the high ground. There is but one rule of survival...Keep moving! When your best friend falls at your side you cannot stop to aid him or the day will be lost. Casualties are an unavoidable part of war and soon all will have to acknowledge the fact that war is unavoidable. Sadly, many of those who have not already realized the truth of the matter will be among the first to fall, and we who must rebuild cannot stop to help. They are past tense. 

Recall in the movie "Top Gun" after Goose got killed when Viper told Maverick "You gotta let em go." That advice will soon hold true for many Americans.

Danny

It has been written that the First Civil War was a time of brother against brother. Thanks to the collective stupidity of the American public putting a great divider into the White House, that spectre once again raises its ugly head.
