NO — It Was NOT “Legitimate Discourse”!!!

Filosofa's Word

The Republican Party is claiming that the events of January 6th were merely “legitimate political discourse.”  Naturally, I disagree … strongly disagree.  But it isn’t enough for me to say I disagree … if I have a point, I must prove my point.  First, let us dissect that phrase with a few short definitions …

Legitimate:  accepted by the law as rightful

Political:  relating to the government or the public affairs of a country; relating to the ideas or strategies of a particular party or group in politics

What is it about the rising of the sun,

the early morning presence that brings creation to life?

I stand here, having opened my blinds

to the rising day star with heat permeating through the window,

What is it about the rising sun,

that glows so vibrantly in a golden flame of fire,

in a statement of unmistakable strength and curiosity?

Have you ever noticed the sun’s effects in the sky, the subtle pastel hues painted and unfolding in the morning, and its bold trail of colors nestling on the evening horizon? Oh, what a miraculous sight to behold.

Opinion | Why the Vaccinated Are So Angry at the Unvaccinated – The New York Times

America has done a very poor job of dealing with Covid. We’ve had more deaths, as a percentage of the population, than any other large, wealthy nation, with the disparity even wider during the Omicron wave than it was before. Why? Because so many Americans haven’t behaved responsibly.

There are surely many Americans feeling a simmering rage against the minority that has placed the rest of us at risk and degraded the quality of our nation’s life.
