There is a word that has been bothering me lately, A LOT.
We are cruising at 35,000 feet above Cleveland headed east to a small regional airport in NY. As I look out the cabin window at the lights of the sleeping city below I am suddenly terrified by what I see. Like a tsunami of darkness a wave sweeps across the land snuffing out the lights and lives below. Our plane lurches, the engines go dead and we begin an uncontrolled descent to the earth.
Suddenly over the intercom the pilot says to the attendants; "Please prepare the cabin for our final descent." I realize I was dreaming and the irony of the pilot's words signaling a "final" descent echo in my ears.
There is a certain terrible inevitability overtaking this nation. It began with the election of our first president of color and may end with him as well. There is the inevitability of our being led to the fires of hell, fires fueled by the hatred of this man for our nation and others like him, the Mullahs of Iran and the moron running North Korea. There is the inevitability of a congress who bows to the emperor and shuns the people who elected them.
There is an inevitability in the push to elect a woman so corrupt and dripping with scandal that she could make John the Baptist's head roll. We are faced with a travelling circus of potential nominees facing out from amphitheaters of salivating reporters and lurid pollsters. No one talks about the real issues. No one points out that in the last seven years we have been disenfranchised from all of our old allies and neatly packaged and placed into the hands of terrorists, communists, socialists, democrats and dictators. Maybe that was the wave of darkness in my dream. There is an inevitability that we will once again face the threat of nuclear extinction. God forbid, but somehow he was elected, the source of our demise, twice.
