Happy Birthday America! What a year it has been! One of the craziest I’ve ever seen. I’m worried about you Lady Liberty. I feel like someone is trying to pull a fast one with a lot of wacky talk. But putting frosting on a cow patty don’t make it a cupcake. Dear Lord, how dumb do they think we are? America I’m sick of the way they treat you. The big wheels think they are everything when it is the little cogs that make them turn. They send our brave sons off to change the world, but they only wind up damaged or dead as the wars wind on. They won’t let us care for the sick or feed the poor. The rich need more money so we can have more, so they tell us. The only thing that trickles down is brown, not green it would seem. Sounds like “cupcake” economics to me. America it’s not your fault. You have been used and abused by those hungry for greed and power. They have trampled your heart for personal gain and thumbed their nose at your constitution. They don’t listen to your people, then act like we don’t know we’ve been ignored. So I hope this year will be better America. And that the high muckity mucks will show the respect a lady like you is due. Always remember no matter how bad they treat you, we, the people, will always love you. |

Oh Yann, I hate to think how we look to other countries now  . Hopefully they know American people for the most part are good people. The majority of Americans did not vote for him. There was no massive voter fraud. Frankly I think he is the massive fraud. ~L |
