2013, a year in review

  How do you review a year like this last one, one that will end mercifully at midnight tonight? So much murder and hatred throughout the world, and plenty right here at home. How do we make sense of it? The answer is a simple one, and yet we will look for ways to complicate it, and we will point fingers at each other and look elsewhere to place the blame. Simply put, the culprit is evil, and evil has had a banner year! Evil does exist, and it is a living breathing entity who remains alive by feeding on us. We allow it to thrive by ignoring it, and for those who bring evil thoughts to a physical reality? Those poor souls are only pawns, because evil chooses the insane and the hopelessly stupid to carry out its agenda.
  But what of this country, what of the good ole U S of A? How can we stand together against something as powerful as evil when we are so hopelessly divided about almost everything? Surely, what we don't need is more partisan politics! We have been torn in half by the extremes of this current administration, and yet, the extremists from the other side clamor for their turn?
If we are to have any hope at all for the future, it cannot come from Four more of the same, whether that same calls itself Democrat, or Republican! What is needed is a uniter, someone who is non beholden to any political party or it's agenda! Except for those who make their living from divisiveness, most all Americans look for someone who knows how to compromise, someone who looks only for the best ideas, regardless of the political affiliations of the person whose idea it was. If there is to be any real hope for this country, we must be willing to change how we do business. If all we accomplish in the upcoming 2016 presidential election is a simple change of the controlling party, then we will have four more of the same, only in a different wrapper? If the extremism that has divided us has taught us anything, it is that it doesn't work! All extremism accomplishes, is to devide us, and a country so divided is almost without power. Again, what is needed is a uniter, not a divider, someone who the entire country can rally behind! But the wheels are already in motion, and the New York Times placed the first palm leafs at the feet of the next to be coronated? Whether it is enough to wash Hillary's bloody hands, still remains to be seen? But if she is to be annoited as the next Democratic nominee, it doesn't mean that a Republican, any Republican is the answer? If all that we do is elect an anti Democrat, who does nothing to unite us, then perhaps we should hoist the white flag above the White House, because we are truly doomed! Too mellow dramatic you say? Then you don't understand the power of evil, and that if we are to have any chance at all against something so powerful, we must be united once again as one!
