I could not believe this happened to me like it did, but I can't sleep and as I laid in bed trying to go to sleep I started crying and thought of the reasons I cried about this election and not any others and came to this conclusion so I wrote it out. It is long but I have to share it with someone so why not friends on line...here goes....It is not copy righted and most likely won't be. I would love to put it on face book but it is so long...



LAST NIGHT I CRIED (Written by Anna)

I cried last night for a Great Nation lost as we know it.

I cried last night for all the children who will never know but by story about what a great Nation this was as some parents, the grandparents and great grandparents knows it now.

I cried last night for each unborn baby that won't have chance to have dreams.

I cried last night for the dream that Martin Luther King had. That all men and women be treated equal.

I cried last night for those who are taking away our rights by tearing our Constitution apart piece by piece.

I cried last night as I thought of other things that could be tore down also, all because someone may not like it. Mount Rushmore, The Statue of Liberty just to name a couple.

I cried last night for our Military and their families for those who fought and paid the ultimate price with their life and for those who are fighting now for our freedom as we know it now because, those dreams are soon to tumble down as well.

I cried last night as I lay and thought of things, like being able to at one time pray in school and say the pledge. All those days are gone because someone decided they didn't believe in God and wanted them to be removed from our schools.

I cried last night when I thought there would only be a little thought here and there to tell a story to children who may not believe them. Or would tell the person "oh your old" and laugh the story off.

I cried last night for each and every elected official who let their country and it's people down.

I cried last night for the thought of maybe one day in the not so distant future that I may not be able to attend a church due to people who don't want it to happen.

I cried last night for each and every blood drop by someone who loved this country.

I cried last night for each Police Officer as they are going to be the ones who have to do what they are told about keeping the laws under control.

I cried last night for each and every news reporter who kept the true things off the air so people would not know what was really happening and laugh about it.

I cried last night as I could see my dreams for my great grand babies going up in smoke because people hate the US so bad they want to take it away from us.

Anna,
I read your post that you wrote. It was very well said and to the point. It reminded me of the speech John Brown gave just before they hanged him.
I am at a loss for words... This country is well beyond the point of bankruptcy for which there simply no escape. Very soon the United States will be a third world country. China is already questioning our financial stability to repay the loan they gave us. Our children are taking out huge student loans that they will never be able to pay back. All the jobs they have ever hoped to have, have gone overseas. The U. S. banking system will be looking for these governments insured loans to be paid back by a government that is broke. No country is going to lend us the money to bail out the banking system again. When that happens it will take down the rest of the world that is dependent on us.
I feel an ill wind. The wolf is at the door. Our house of cards is ready to fall.
In the next four years there will be total anarchy. More of the middle class will lose their jobs. The poor will get poorer. People will lose their homes. The Welfare system will collapse. (They have been dependent on the middle class for their tax money that will not be forthcoming). Desperate people do desperate things. Rioting and looting will be rampant. Martial Law will be declared by the President. The U.S. Constitution will be suspended.
The signs are there for a Second Revolutionary War, only this time we will not be fighting another country. We will be fighting our own government.
God save us all. Your friend , Rodney

Dirt Pusher, Let them cry themselves to sleep. It's the only way they'll learn.
Perhaps now we can introduce compromise into their lexicon.

If you look at the political landscape honestly, you will find people on both sides who are capable of compromise. Unfortunately, there don't seem to be leaders on either side who understand it.

Your wording itself is telling. While it may not have been intentional on your part, the concept of "Perhaps now we can introduce compromise into their lexicon." conveys an image of the person who thinks himself the superior imposing his vocabulary on the one he thinks inferior.

If both sides seek to understand compromise together there is the possibility of success. If one side seeks to impose compromise on the other (as your sentence construction suggests), it will be an exercise in futility for both.

Yes you are right. I do feel superior but that is only because I am.

If you find some people who agree with that opinion, maybe you can introduce compromise into their lexicon.

I didn't and normally don't. Usually it takes an NPR fundraising drive to get me to listen to him.

Back in Iowa we used to get the Red Green Show' on NPR. The last fundraiser they had I called in and donated $150 and asked the lady on the phone for a date.
