Just do it!

In periods when there is an authoritative geopolitical tumult,
​Initiated by a doofus ignoramus and his cohortes,
It is time to make way for the chariot of equilibrium.
And listen to the rumbling of the wheels and the grumbling
Of the people who are on their way to vacate the thrones
And re-establish the government of, by, and for the people.
No earthly power can halt the people on the​ march.
It is a majority who will rule peacefully with respect for
Their loyal opposition who provide a balance of perspectives.
Together they will remove the dung blocking the path forward,
Left by the horses of the self-proclaimed high and mighty.
Now is the time for all good citizens to save their democracy.
Rules should be enacted through representatives by two means:
The Categorical Imperative and the Golden Rule.
First by reason and rationality in moral decision making.
Second by empathy and shared prior experiences
That constitute an historical cultural natural order of things.
Make no laws that can't be universally accepted, and  
Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.
Jesus declared, “‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart
and with all your soul and with all your mind," and
"Love your neighbor as yourself." (Matthew 22:37-39)
If we really mean "In God we trust," Then we should do so!    

Let Liberty and Justice Prevail

All governments suffer from a recurring problem.

Power attracts pathological personalities.

It is not that power is what corrupts, but

Power is like a magnet to the corruptible.

There is nothing new under the sun.

It's been that way from the beginning. 

It was that way in the past, it is that way now, 

And it will be that way in the future, maybe, 

But only if we let Liberty and Justice die. 

Remembering the past is not much different 

Than imagining the future if the cycle be unbroken.

"But if my people, who are called by my name, 

Will humble themselves and pray and 

Seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, 

Then I will hear from heaven, I will forgive their sins 

And I will heal their land." (2 Chronicles 7:14)
