This post began as a commentary on the ridiculousness of her statement and comparing what she is doing to the book 1984. Instead, I will let these timeless words, written by a Canadian soldier during the war to end all wars, say what needs to be said in indictment of Gretchen Whitmer.
We also received word that Bluewater gets to build compressor behind us "but we should be proud" that we lost. We should be proud that a corporation can destroy our homes and lives, that we should be afraid and live in fear of a virus.... I don't recognize America, do you? Would the soldiers, who lie sleeping in their graves from WWI and WWII -- would they? What would they say to us, who hand away without thought, what they gave their lives for? Not all wars are fought with artillery, and we must be willing to keep faith with those who fought for our futures.
In Flanders fields, the poppies blow,
Between the crosses, row on row,
That mark our place; and in the sky
The larks, still singing bravely, fly
Scarce heard among the guns below.
We are the Dead. Short days ago
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
Loved and were loved, and now we lie
In Flanders fields.
Take up our quarrel with the foe:
To you, from failing hands we throw
The torch; be yours to hold it high.
If ye break faith with us who die
We shall not sleep, though poppies grow
In Flanders fields.
~John McCrae, 1872-1918
Amen to your words. What happened to the Constitution? or to protecting the little guy?
ReplyDeleteKelo vs City of New London. I wish that the justices had to live with their own decisions, as the politicians should have to live under their own decrees.
