The Sunday news programs ran several stories on people from across the country making pilgrimages to Washington for the inauguration. Some of these people had only enough money for gas to get there. Without money or accomodations, they were planning on camping in Maryland and not worrying about getting back home.
The Webster's Big Red Giant Dictionary of English Words that sits on my desk defines pilgrimage as: "a journey a pilgrim makes." This definition required me to then look up the definition for pilgrim. Luckily it was the next word up. Pilgrim: "a person who makes a journey to some sacred place as an act of religious devotion." This troubled me. Because once again, a hack Chicago Democrat with a penchant for looking sincere and throwing a decent prepared line out of his lips has been elevated to Jesus Status.
So if all of these pilgrims are travelling to Washington, and many of these pilgrims have not shelter or sustenance, is it out of line for me to ask if Barack America is going to change their bottled water into bottled wine coolers? Maybe he will then change those horrifyingly damp and cold street vendor pretzels into nice Tilapia filets for the masses? Maybe if it snows he won't need snowshoes? Okay, that last one is a little obscure, but if you think on it long enough...
Anyway, we live in a country that has lost its collective grip on reality. This bodes not well my friends for the sycophants who think Barack America is going to magically transform our nation into one vast Emerald City complete with changing color horses and short people with green cloaks guarding the doors.
My friends, America sucks based on what its elected officials do, and America is great based on what its people do.
