I heard an esteemed historian the other night and he said, “There is nothing stronger than the truth and the truth always comes out.”
When the truth, all of it, comes out about the present administration, it will topple. And it will go down in history as the worst administration in the history of the United States.
And we have had some doozies. But this administration even makes Tricky Dick Nixon’s nasty cheating power grabs look like amateur night.
This administration has already been found guilty of lies, deceit, cheating. The terrible waste of human lives, the billions of dollars spent on an unjust war and billions more totally unaccounted for, the torture of fellow human beings, the greedy inroads into the environment, the robbing of poor and the working poor to give to the rich, the eroding of human rights and the eroding of everything this country has stood for.
Oh, but if you say so, then according to the supporters of this administration, you are accused of bias of being a traitor, unpatriotic and un-American. One such supporter has a weekly column in this newspaper. This lawyer also runs an ad in this newspaper, which reads, “A law firm dedicated to defending those charged with crime.”
Good try, all you defenders of the present administration, but far too many of us know the emperor is naked and will continue to say so until this corrupt and immoral regime comes to an end. After all, in the book the religious right loves to quote, it says: “The face of the beast always becomes known and the time of the beast always comes to an end.”
