Because I Felt the Need

I would liked to have had the chance to comment on a post, but that was impossible by the author who is engrossed in pointing out Democrat's flaws, but I'm not shocked. So, I wrote this rebuttal because he has me blocked. (Or maybe he turned off commenting because.... ?) This political observance was posted on the site today. I read it hoping to see something worthy it had to say, but it was just another brow beating upon Democrats. It's become a ridiculous civil war between crats and rats. It must be quite a burden to constantly wear a blindfold and believe Trump's lies to write something so bold. This poet thinks the insurrection claim is out of hand, but the insurrectionist's crimes he doesn't understand. Yes, parents need to know what lessons are being taught, He claims it's not Trump's fault, but if the truth is sought, Biden can't be blamed either. He didn't hire the teachers. Trump still cries, "Foul" to those who sit in his bleachers. Drugs, crime, and border security, Trump couldn't control, not when Trump was Pres, an office he says Dems stole. I don't belong to either political party but on it I'll speak... Neither one of these men are fit for the office they seek. I'm permitting comments because it's everyone's right to do so as long as they're not offensive and rude.

Come here Jenna, come on down. We could use you here in my Pa. town..I am grateful for your having the guts to speak out and explain this is a moral issue not a political one. Thanks so much, Nancy

Thank you for your insight, Nancy. There are times we have to stand up and speak out against what is so blatantly wrong. I understand my opinion differs from many, but I can voice it without starting a riot, and hold fast to integrity. That's something many give up in a knockdown, drag out fight. You're right about it being a moral issue, and that's worth defending. I appreciate your comments very much.

Jenna, I am with you here! Everyone is entitled to their opinion, that is America! I really hate politics because of the division is causes especially when folks stoop to cheap insults rather than try and discuss in a civil manner and perhaps reach understanding!! Anyway, Happy Saturday xxoo

Good morning, Mike, and thanks for your support. His caterwauling has taken a detour on his free ride here, but I'll keep a watch on his yowls. Have a great weekend! hugs

Jenna, I thank you for doing what we all should be doing, taking on these weird ideas and exposing them! The defects in reasoning on every issue are astonishing! Please continue! Elizabeth

Thank you very much, Elizabeth. There are many 'weird ideas' and weirdos around. This guy is just another one. As long as he doesn't offend anyone or get nasty, his thought can stay. That exposure will not serve him well.

Twitter, twitter... little bird, crying "censorship!" must be observed, for Marx's democracy to be preserved. The perverts claim right is wrong and wrong is right, for our sake, the left claim they must fight... while rejecting Jesus in their delight.

Dearest Martin you sound like the family genius. I guess in your brilliant mind all Christians have to be republicans. Frankly I find your level of intelligence quite overwhelming. Now come on sweetie, just use your real name and stop being such a coward!

Anaya, I am a Christian. I know who this guy is and he’s using a fake name. I’ll let him continue to make a fool of himself until he exceeds my limit. Thanks for your concern.

Jenna, with this guy, who needs crazy! You can take him. Even if you are or aren't Christian, you act more like a Christian than a Christian for Trump!

@Jenna Logan... your point is well received... censorship, bad. I concur, unless it's about a man, dressed as a woman or age inappropriate books trying to sexualize our children in that classroom, that otherwise would have created a mob of a thousand burning pitchforks only 5 years ago. Does anyone remember 1984?

I’m not promoting censorship. Just the opposite. Rejecting Jesus? Ahhh. Politics and religion… Oil and vinegar…. Left and right. You can rhyme and I don’t intend to fight.

Thank you, Jenna. For some reason, I missed the poem in question, but just as well...my blood pressure goes berserk when I would like to rebutt but I am blocked from doing so. You have done us all a great favor!

you're not going to miss it. I'll send it to you. He didn't have the courage to open it to comments and then he deleted it.

Make America great with hate? Border security? Just look at the millions of dollars wasted on Trump's Border Wall, which is a total (and expensive) flop - as was obvious to everyone familiar with the border when "genius" Trump planned it! Like Trump remedies for COVID-19, etc. Dr. Oz says that people who vote for Fetterman should have their driver's license revoked, proving the GOP today is nothing like the GOP of Bob Dole! Aloha!

I have never belonged to a political party as political parties have no interest in making the USA a better place for our grandchildren to live; their interest is limited to profit today! Aloha!

I've been looking, but some people wear blinders to what he's done to tear the country apart. BUILD A WALL... as if no one could climb over it or go around it. DRINK BLEACH TO CURE COVID... too ignorant to know it would kill people. GOP of today no longer stands for Grand Old Party. Keep in mind that I'm not a Democrat. Thanks for commenting, Rico.

Wouldn't it be great if all political discourse was poetic? Instead of rants and slurs, people would slow down and actually think to air an opinion, like this clearly does. Wow, political ads would all be Limericks, and speeches all in rhyme! Thanks, Jenna, this is a clever retort and inspires me to think up a Limerick or two.

That would be a welcome change to the harassing and pointed fingers that are taking place now. Since you mentioned it, here's a limerick you might like:Donald Trump's pouty lips must be swollen/ from screaming, "The election was stolen!"/ How pitifully he cries/ Every time he denies/ No one can end his rant with consolin'.. Your turn, David.
