THINGS AMERICAN THAT MATTER

THINGS AMERICAN THAT MATTER

Silence is often the best thing to say.  - Frank Herbert



Thing One and Thing Two.

They, and colorful friends children adore from the Dr. Seuss zoo, helped millions like me and you learn to read and think and dream and not be blue. 

Take heed. 

Indeed!

That Thing One and Thing Two and Mr. Potato Head news mere ruse to confuse.

Pay attention, fools. Get a damn clue. We've President with brain blown fuse and no earthly idea what to do.

Can't you hear all the out-of-tune kazoos?

Are you amused? 

Thing life. 

Thing liberty.

Thing happiness we pursue.

A clever idea gifted me and you.

Read. 

And know. 

Unlike phony news it's not just show.

That old paper read means freedom by lead - few swear oath to support and defend to include shedding red; some bled, some dead.

It's no game - in patriotism there's not fame nor shame.

Who's to blame?  

Now come hollow calls for national community.

But long lost their opportunity - as ring of unity impossible for that thing impunity. 

So mutiny?

And when silence must not be, speak truth - calmly, clearly, and convincingly.

These things American, I say, matter to me.  

Do they to you?

SHE was elected not him! All of the stuff coming out of the White House is not coming from Biden but from the evil that is proving to be what at one time was the Democratic Party. The party is now proving to be the guiding hand behind everything coming out of DC. Sad state of affairs for our once great Nation!
