Been away but am now back. Don’t ask where I been just be glad you weren’t there too.

What’s been up?

Well, more Christians reportedly captured by non-Islamic Muslims. Isis on the move. Obama vetoing the pipeline bill and getting ready to set out an order on the internet. A brave judge in Texas putting a stay on the execution of Obama’s order on immigration.   A battle over the funding of Homeland Security and the immigration funding it also provides.

Just another week of a lawless regime and the limpers in D.C. who can’t seem to understand our laws and the Constitution and the things that they were elected to fight for and defend.

Nope, just biz as usual and folks defending their fiefdoms and more folks reporting on and still others living off it while the rest of the country just simply wonders WTF. Seriously, can we just toss them all out and start over closer to the beginning?

It would be a good idea and you know it don’t you? Yeah, I thought so.

But we won’t because besides themselves and their enclaves they really don’t seem to care much about this country of ours. They don’t seem to think it’s so special after all- certainly not worth protecting inside and out. What a travesty.

I’m back now and not much has changed and not much is exactly the same. It’s moving away from us in fits and starts and no one seems able to stand up and stop it much anyways.

No, we just get along with our own little lives and hope that the damage will not be too big. Wouldn’t want to get taken away from all that important stuff we have going on now would we?

I wish I knew what to do but one thing I know is that I don’t want to just sit back and take it. Too many for too long have done that and things need to change don’t they?

Oh, you disagree because we, us Americans, cannot fail. Things will go on for us forever. We are different, better, than those old Greeks and Romans.

Didn’t the Mongols rule for a long time after that?

Gotta go soon. Not back to where I was but not all that far from it.

You just relax and sit back and take it easy. It will all be okay if we just don’t look too closely. Take it for what it is but don’t get all hung up and strung out.

Do nothing and nothing will be done to you, right?

Well, maybe. Then, maybe not. Maybe so, maybe no.

We ain’t special, we ain’t exceptional- our man told us so.

No, he don’t want no exceptionalism- just what we continue to give him with our own tepid acceptionalism.

Not to worry- it will all be over soon.
