For Those Who Would Live Free

Here is offered a solution
  For those who would live free
In this time of dissolution
  To revitalize our country

Procure a giant circular saw
  Sporting the most teeth that ever be
And with a healthy dose of hoopla and hurrah
  Cut out the nation's capital, and throw it in the sea

Ha, ha! Pretty funny comment there, Lindsay!... Actually I was thinking of getting rid of all the bureaucrats, apparatchiki, deep swamp creatures, plus overlords such as Pelosi, Schumer, et al. In a strange way, I wouldn't mind seeing regular, ordinary citizens leaning back in Pelosi's chair smoking cigars and such. That's kind of what we had in Mr. Trump for four years, actually... As long as the country's gone to the dogs, the capital might as well too. lol. ~ gw

If America sneezed, the whole world would catch influenza, but in the times we are presently living in, no one in any government can be pinpointed as a pillar of strength for the people to depend on and trust. Hugs and blessings Gershon, Jennifer.

'Pillar of Strength' -- Now which government official would that describe?! You're right; I give up. Not one that I can think of anywhere. Oh, well... :) gw

the most frightening words ever uttered: "WE'RE FROM THE GOVERNMENT......AND WE'RE HERE TO HELP."

Ronald Reagan sure thought so... I myself would substitute as follows: We're from the 'Chicago Police Department,' and we're here to help. lol. Thanks, John.

God, bring our country back into your true light! For us born a considerable time ago, “What the #&$@ is going on?!”

Hear! Hear!! I do so totally agree. Anymore the capital is run by a den of thieves. Not just in the States either. It's like that all over the world. Well said my friend. God Bless, JB
