Fundamentally Flawed

When did conservatives start courting failure, Buy into idea their logic is truth? As the world watches they back stab each other Just above lion devouring its youth! Hating of others just leads to self-loathing Excrement passed off as truth, facts du jour Horrified pundits see platform unravel Naysayers get what they’ve ask for, no cure. Politics sullied, class warfare transcendent, One percent hoarding the bulk of the wealth, Doomsday is pretty much all of their chatter, Brandishing half-truths, the party of stealth. What is the outcome, does Trump even matter Die perhaps cast before Trump came around? Unfit to serve, they’re the party that says, “No” Not one worth saving, unless they’re unbound. How can they possibly think they’re not racist, Pig appetites rush to block common goals, Guilt free they plagiarize speech by first lady, Could it be true they are born without souls? Paul and Mitch both love to demonize POTUS, Setting the tone that legitimized Trump, Party’s disaster lies right at their doorstep, “Christians” who never ask God to be ump! What can we do to avert Trump fiasco? Decency pleas seem to fall on deaf ears! Pray that they’re wrong and that God cares what happens, May heaven’s fairness match all their worst fears!

As a Canadian I have the luxury of looking at this from a one step back position. My personal opinion, I see a lot of uncomfortable people who can't wait to get into that booth and vote how the really feel. Very nice write.

Well written rant would do well in the 'pass the cheese and whine' contest. I suspect this write also served as therapeutic clarity for the painful election we are watching play out. I know of no adult in US who isn't astonished by our horrible choices. I enjoyed the read, regret it is true and wish we could affect serious, meaningful change ... CayCay
