Welcome to Whoville

I know I said my next post is about H.R. 45 but after an extensive reading of the bill I am afraid that my mind has become numb. So instead I will ramble about a small country from a loved childrens book.

Yes, welcome to Whoville. Where we all go about our daily lives living in peace and harmony. We can not understand that our existence is a mere boiling pot away. You ask are you really going to blog about "Horton Hears A Who" and I answer "YES". In the story about Horton and his beloved dust speck, the people of Whoville face imminent danger. They are warned but since they can not see nor hear Horton, they do not believe. Those who seek to destroy the dust speck do not believe that there are people worth saving on it. Yet in the midst of all this unbelief Horton continues to champion for those whose voice is unheard. Even though Horton makes a very good point that the size of a person has no impact on their worth or importance, his voice in unsuccessful in convinceing the others who can not hear the Whos. It ultimately is up to the Whos to make their voices heard. So I once again welcome you to Whoville America.

Yes, The Late Great USA has become Whoville. We sit in our homes allowing those who control our government to chart our course through these dangerous waters. When they make a bad decision we tell ourselves that we'll let them know how we felt come next election. When a judge decides to use his bench as a legislative tool we complain to those who already don't care. When the ones who swear an oath to protect the people of their community use brute or deadly force as a complaince tool, we say that wouldn't happen to me. In all of this inaction, we have allowed ourselves to be brought to the cauldron where those who seek to destroy awate. This is not the time to be Silient Submissive Patriots, or apathetic Whos with our minds closed to the possibility that those who roam the Capital are as dangerous as the Wickersham Brothers. We, the Constitution Lovin/Gun Clingin/Christian brothers and sisters, need to gather with on voice and shout "We Are Here! We Are Here!" We have no one to blame but ourselves for not having our voices heard. Senator Barry Soetoro may proclaim "I won", but we are still "The People"!
