Where are you when children are born to mothers who cant afford to feed, house, or clothe them? Oh, thats RIGHT! Youre busy shutting down abortion-providers, preventing the sale of contraceptives, and railing against sex education being taught in our schools.
Where are you when people go to the polls to vote? Oh, thats RIGHT! Youre busy passing legislation to ensure they cant.
Where are you when people are sick and dying, and are in desperate need of medical care? Oh, thats RIGHT! Youre busy trying to destroy Obamacare, Medicaid and Medicare.
Where are you when families cant afford decent food for their own children? Oh, thats RIGHT! Youre busy gutting programs like food stamps.
Where are you when the homeless are dying in our streets? Oh, thats RIGHT! Youre busy promoting city ordinances that render their homelessness illegal, while preaching about your upstanding Christian morals.
Where are you when women are paid less than a man for the same work? Oh, thats RIGHT! Youre busy telling women their place is at home even though their jobs are what keeps many families afloat.
Where are you when citizens have no choice but to depend on social safety nets like welfare? Oh, thats RIGHT! Youre busy calling them moochers and Welfare Queens.
Where are you when our kids cant compete in the world market because they dont have the education to do so? Oh, thats RIGHT! Youre busy pushing textbooks that contain revisionist history and science based on Biblical teachings instead of known facts.
Where are you when our vets come home from service and require rehabilitation, counseling, and assistance getting back to work? Oh, thats RIGHT! Youre busy saying theres no money in the budget to fund their needs despite the fact that you were the ones who sent them into battle in the first place.
Where are you when corporations book billions in profits but dont pay taxes? Oh, thats RIGHT! Youre busy figuring out ways they can get even more tax breaks than they already have.
Where are you when wealthy individuals are avoiding contributing their fair share by virtue of tax loopholes ? Oh, thats RIGHT! Youre busy crafting laws that put more of a tax burden on the middle-class, because they should contribute more than their fair share in order to make up for non-contributions of rich tax-dodgers.
Where are you when ANYTHING that diminishes the earning power of hard-working Americans, that surpresses the votes of US citizens, that causes the hungry to go without food or the homeless to go without shelter, that leads to your fellow Americans lives being made more difficult, more miserable, more hopeless is being made a reality?
Oh, thats RIGHT! Youre on one of your congressional breaks after putting in literally hours of work per session, spending your exorbitant salaries, looking forward to your cushy pensions, while complaining about how hard-working people should just tighten their belts and learn to live without.
Oh, thats RIGHT! That is EVERYTHING the right stands for. I keep wondering when the average citizen is going to figure out that whats right is killing them, literally and figuratively.
But there is still hope. When people start losing their healthcare, their rights, and their freedoms, when they wake up to the fact that you have handed the leadership of the country to an ignorant buffoon, when they realize that the right have once again sold them down the river, they might they just might start to put two and two together.
With Trumps election, we all know that a train-wreck is inevitable. Its now just a matter of time before the passengers start screaming about who was at the wheel when the train went off the tracks and plummeted into the abyss.
Impossible you say? Just as impossible as a black man with the middle-name "Hussein" being elected POTUS - twice. Just as impossible as a woman running for POTUS winning the majority of votes. Just as impossible as putting a man on the moon, and women getting the right to vote, no less run for office.
Nothing is impossible - and destroying the "oh, that's RIGHT" adherents is just another challenge that we, the "Oh, no, THAT'S wrong!" folks are more than willing to meet head-on.

(9,119 posts)is very busy being involved in the city. She knocks on doors, speaks at council meetings, is very friendly, and totally dedicated. Was on the council until being termed out, primaried Rohrabacher (and got clobbered), is disliked by the OC GOP. She is a Republican for life and fought developers on our council then got termed out.
She is fearless. And she is bonded with like minded Republican women activists who I believe go to bible study together.

With no principles and doesn't care how they win as long they do.. so they lie, cheat, and steal our votes. And they know they can get away with it because almost 1/2 the population is already brainwashed by limpassbaugh & all the other hate radio stations permeating the air, and fox screws right along with the whole M$M cabal.
But, it is so.. "nothing is impossible" therefore let us have every certainty that we will meet our challenge and prevail.
Mahalo for the brilliant pep talk, Nance.
