The Rank and File

After giving the Political Right more slack than they deserve, I have decided that there are no longer any redeeming qualities to be found on or in the  Political Right of America. The whole lot of them have ceded any claims to moral high grounds or any rights to lofty ideals such as serving all Americans, not just the interests their swamp scum leadership tell them to serve.  I used to excuse many of their actions as mass ignorance and stupidity. Now I don't.

 At some point, continuing to act stupid does not stir up the empathy it used to. At some point, it is time to recognize what the Rank and File of the Right is. The Rank and File willingly followed their leaders down the self serving garden path their leadership laid out for them. They are just as guilty as their slimy swamp dwelling leaders; maybe more so.

The Rank and File of the Right have chosen to be evil, inconsiderate, immoral total assholes who are rubberstamping the unconscionable self serving policies their swamp dwelling leaders are using to ruin the Democratic Republic we have all taken for granted for so many years. 

The leaders of the right now own 40 or so percent of America's citizenry. Now, they are coming for the rest of us. They no longer care how their tactics are perceived. The meaning of "Unconstitutional" no longer means anything to the Right. The factual truth of everything no longer matters. They double down on their lies and then spew even uglier and terrible new lies that continually cause many people great harm while they sit back in the delusions they are doing good for America.

The Right is a pox on our nation at the moment. Anyone who supports them is a carrier.

Music, music, music.

When I decided to pick a tune for every post, I really did not appreciate how much extra time and effort it added to putting a new blog post out there in the Internet Ether. I have whined about this before; all the while, not recognizing the benefits of the search and sometimes, drudgery of finding a song.

This morning, in this moment, I now understand how much the search for music for every post has expanded my musical horizons. I had been in danger of another classic Old Fart tendency; stop looking and settling into a soft withdrawal from the busy world outside. After all, there is nothing new under the Sun; not really.

Finding music has done more than just expanding my musical quiver, my efforts have reminded me there is always something new under the Sun. I just need to look for it.

Here is a Thrash Metal tune, "We are One", by Vigilante. Thrash Metal has its place in the musical lineups. Certainly a niche category in the larger category we call Heavy Metal. Thrash depends on creating music that attacks our senses. Enjoy or not.
