...I woke up this morning sick. Not the sick you feel after having too much of something not good for you, not the sick you feel when the other teams wins the big game that you were so emotionally invested in.

I felt the kind of sick that I woke up with when I realized my dad wasn't leaving the hospital. I felt the kind of sick I felt when I realized my kids were going to be raised in two separate homes and there was nothing I could do about it.

That kind of not-going-away-anytime-soon sick.

Yesterday we were facing a looming economic collapse, and we were facing the possibility of a supreme court with as many as four new justices being chosen by a socialist. We were facing a government-run healthcare system operated by disinterested bureaucrats where everything is half as efficient, half as effective, takes twice as long and at twice the cost.

We were looking at the thought of the greatest military force in history being muzzled. We were looking at coal being all but outlawed, and anything that is purchased with energy cost factored as a part of its value – which is everything, everywhere - continuing to cost more and more.

We faced the possibility of the folks riding the wagon outnumbering those of us pulling the wagon.

And we voted based on vaginas, race, greed, envy and the winner's appearance. We voted for a man whose only success has been in running for office. We voted for a man with no credentials.

Shit, we voted for a homecoming king, not a president.

Collectively we are a nation of fools, and we will be led by one.

'Sick' may not be the right word. Cold, hard fear may be closer to what I feel. Because I believe we just passed the point of no return.

 

You put my feelings and thoughts into words! Thanks, well said, this needs to be sent to the editor of your local newspaper!
