As I watch our President cozy up to the Saudi's, the Russians, The Autocrat of Turkey, The murderer of manila, while taunting and ridiculing the Europeans (The best allies that we will ever have).

As I watch a Reporter beaten in Montana, while people cheer, and the press threatened at rallies, egged on by our own President.

As I watch Protestors beaten in the streets of Washington by the agents of Turkey.

As I watch $800 billion being pulled out of healthcare for the poor.

As I watch science being rejected at the EPA.

As I watch corruption rise to historical levels in the White House.

As I watch Truth become irrelevant, and words like "Duty", "Honor", "Country" become a punchline.

As I watch the blatant cowardice of the Speaker of the House and Republicans on Capital Hill.

I am so very afraid.

But, I take courage from another day,,,,,,


“THESE are the times that try men's souls. The summer soldier and the sunshine patriot will, in this crisis, shrink from the service of their country; but he that stands by it now, deserves the love and thanks of man and woman. Tyranny, like hell, is not easily conquered; yet we have this consolation with us, that the harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph. What we obtain too cheap, we esteem too lightly: it is dearness only that gives every thing its value. Heaven knows how to put a proper price upon its goods; and it would be strange indeed if so celestial an article as FREEDOM should not be highly rated”

Do not let the light die!
