The Storm Clouds of Tyranny 

As we approach the 250th anniversary of our country, let us celebrate, but also let us not overlook the shadows of oppression and tyranny looming on the horizon.  I fear that we are, tragically, strikingly like the common German folk of a century ago who tended their shops, tilled their gardens and relaxed in their favorite hofbrauhaus as the shadows and dark terror of  Nazism took over their land and snuffed out their freedoms.    

Unfortunately, that dark shadow of tyrannical terror has now fallen over our nation.  Fear paralyzes our Senate of 100 members and our House of 435—535 elected officials, each of whom should be shouting from floors of Congress, screaming from the rooftops, marching in the streets, and calling for the removal of our domestic Nazi terrorist and tyrant Trump. Yet there is silence. Deadly silence. Are we, like the common folk of Germany,  going to tend our gardens, sip our wine, enjoy our daily routines in blissful ignorance of the Trump tyranny as its chains of oppression bind us?  

If we are to celebrate our nation’s 251st birthday, we must fight, we must resist, we must demand  removal of the tyrant now,  lest we mourn in darkness.
