Us vs Them

Black vs White

The haves vs the have nots

Left vs Right

Red vs Blue

Friends, you might not want to hear this but this is what “They” want.

Who is “They” you might ask?

They = The Elites

And by Elites I don’t mean your neighbor who belongs to a county club. I don’t mean your co-worker that just got a brand new car and I don’t mean your cousin that just landed a six figure job out of law school.

The Elites are the ones with THE ULTIMATE POWER.

Our elected and appointed officials of both parties (both past and present), CEO’s of large corporations, large media corporations, big tech, and celebrities of all kinds.

These are the people who are “making all the deals” and running the show. They work under the cover of darkness, behind closed doors and sometimes right in your face

They are THEM. You are US.

And while we are distracted with hating and shaming each other, the deals are getting bigger, dirtier and more costly for the American people.

And the currency to fund these deals:

Your tax dollars

Your relationships

Your family

Your sanity

Your reputation

Your freedom

The Elites are motivated by monetary greed, by fear of exposure for their moral corruption and by their insatiable appetite for more power.

And to pull off their corrupt dealings ALL they ask of the American people is to keep up our entrenched habits of hedonism, busyness, laziness and apathy

We all know to find the TRUTH you must feed from more than one trough. And they count on you not doing that, EVER.

I know people are angry and they are passionate about their point of view. But recognize that anger and passion comes from a fierce love of this country.

There’s a whole lot of judgement, shame, name calling and vilification being dished out on social media, from every angle.

But your friend, neighbor, colleague and family is not your enemy.

Your enemy is “the machine” that wants to wheel and deal at your expense while they whittle away everything you hold most dear.

I’m not going to say we need to “come together”, I think we are still a long ways off from that.

But I will ask you to ponder who you are really fighting.

Don’t let THEM win by walking away from the people and things you love most.

Don’t let THEM convince you it’s acceptable to throw verbal daggers for all the world to see, thrown in hast and randomly at a person who doesn’t see the world the same way you do.

I refuse to give up on this country and I will NOT give up on you, even if we disagree, especially if we disagree.

God Bless you and God Bless these UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.
