From My Wednesday Morning Discussion Group That Is.
Some of you may remember me referring to my Wednesday Morning Group which, until yesterday, I fondly referred to as the Chat Room where a bunch of us retirees came together to discuss matters of current events ...especially politics.
You may also remember the set-up; a series of tables placed in a horseshoe shape with the Conservatives/Republicans on one side, the Liberals/Democrats on the opposite side and the Uncommitteds along the bottom. At the top and alone sat our Chair a retired Air-force Pilot by the name of Peter. On a good day, one could expect 40 or so attendees, yesterday there were but 30, counting myself.
For various reasons, I have recently missed a bunch of these meetings and was looking forward to getting back into action ...so to speak, but something had dramatically changed. The Conservative side of the Room sat empty save for Yours Truly and I was soon to feel like Custer alone at his Last Stand.
The morning's first topic set the tone...'Should President Donald Trump Be Impeached'? All but one (me) thought this to be a splendid idea.
But it went beyond this, whatever the topic the gang of 29 spewed forth Politically Correct, Left-Wing Drivel.
What had happened to our group where not that long ago all sides of an issue had received fair and considered thought?
It soon dawned on me that the Toxic Mix now contaminating America was clearly having a negative affect beyond their borders. This Brew consists of Trump and his Supporters but also the Progressive Left and their supplicant Media. There is fault enough for all but one thing that is clear to me is that the Left is Hysterical in their efforts to destroy the Republican President. And it goes way beyond Donald Trump...simply stated, America is at War with itself.
It is the proponents of Big Government vs. those fading numbers who continue to support a Limited Role for It and for Personal Independence.
The Gloves are off and I am not optimistic for a successful outcome.
This battle is so important because it has already been lost in all other Democracies... where Rights and Freedoms have been lost without a Bang but a Whimper. America is the World's last Hope and if the War is lost there, We will all be left with Cradle to Grave Suffocation to the point where we will be told what we can and cannot think.
Back to yesterday's Discussion Group... You would have been proud of me... for 2/3rds of the meeting I fought back with valour but in the end realized I was out-gunned and out-personed. For the last half-hour, I couldn't wait to get out there and pledged to myself that I would not be coming back.
On my way out I shared my feelings with the Chair and commiserated with him. He too was visibly discouraged with what has transpired with respect to our group. I don't see him staying on as Chair or even as an participant much longer.
In the meantime, I hope the 29 enjoy their future meetings where they can all sit back and agree with each other when spouting their Politically Correct Nonsense.
The Lastest Development in this War, is the appointment by Justice of a Prosecutor to look into such things as Russian Involvement in the Recent Election. I will use a future Blog to explain why, although this now is sadly necessary, the final outcome will show it to be both a waste of time and money. And regardless of the outcome, it will not diminish one iota the Hate America's Left has for those who do not fully share their Beliefs and Values.
As I see it...
