There is a low, menacing rumble going on down here in the swamp. This rumbling has nothing whatsoever to do with the Heavens. No, it is man-made and scary. At the core of the rumblings are a myriad of questions concerning the person who has occupied the Oval Office for the last two years. Whatever those who voted so blindly for this so-called "messiah," was thinking, reality has reared its ugly head even as he goes about his business willingly wrecking what made America the most powerful nation in the world. I strongly believe those "believers" really thought He could have parted the water as Moses did, if, and when He needed to. Thusly when He was seated in the Oval Office He merely had to smile and wave His elegant and manicured hand and America, yea, the world's problems would be solved by royal decree. Those who lived through the two-year election cycle in dumfounded delirium, trying to understand what there was about this Chicago Insider that would make everyone bow and scrape. Nothing stuck with the Man. Oh, He had plenty which was of the "stick-um" stuff. His background was not just suspect, some of it was out-and-out racist and criminal; at least His mentor preacher and His best friend, the unrepentant Weatherman murderer' they were racist and criminal. The news media were all, and I do mean all, down on their knees, mouths open to receive Him. Well, the believers and the dumbfounded are sitting back today waiting for His reign to begin, two years into it. The world is also. He had the economy stupid, to kick off His sovereignty. He had Iraq. He had health care. There is the whole of the Middle East who He bows and scrapes to. Is He their friend, at the expense of our freedom? Even the believers are beginning to see cracks in His rhetoric, as opposed to real life decisions, especially within His cabinet. They are starting to maybe understand that they did, in fact, help elect something the corrupt Chicago Political Machine turned out. The dumbfounded believe He is just playing a game of one-upmanship. The Silhouette of the Swamp makes no judgment, I merely observe and respond. I do know this, however, the world is in for nothing less than World War III if sane heads do not get together and condemn this religious holy war which is being carried worldwide. But condemning them will only work if they have the will and the power behind them to back this condemnation up. In the meantime, the rumblings continue down here in the swamp. World War III is in your future . . . ~~ I'd kill for a Nobel Peace Prize. ~~ |

"World War III is in your future . . ." Inevitable, I think. And the many scars to follow. ~~~ Have enjoyed reading your 'swamp thing', my friend. j. |
