Dear March,

Thanks for sharing how you stand up for yourself by kindly and assertively naming the inappropriate “shame on you” type of bullshit behavior.

It's been a ROUGH day. As others have put it, I'm committing the ultimate crime one can commit in a cult-like environment by challenging the accepted orthodoxy - the vitriolic panic and lashing out I see today reminds me of HOW Catholics THOUGHT while Ferdinand and Isabella massacred and expelled the Jews and Muslims from Spain. It's dangerous thinking patterns that can lead us into darkness if we are not very, very careful, wise and honest.

We’ve been so conditioned to believe everything purported by the powers that be, depending upon which cult is espousing it. And forced into lockstep support of every partisan ideological dictate or incurring the wrath of said cult. Hence, when Trump allowed the formation of a coalition, I felt a burst of excitement. The best of America joining forces. And the pushback, left and right sealed the deal.

When both sides hate Woodstock,Chopin,Motown,Gershwin,Huxley, Serling, Hesse,McLuhan,Picasso,Botticelli, Dali’, Vermeer…Network, The Graduate,Some Like It Hot,Carmen Jones, Jesus Christ Superstar.. Pat Moynihan, Goldwater…. But love the CIA, war, Fauci, Cheney,Mueller,Panetta,Pharma,Raytheon,the UN,WEF, Kissinger,John McCain,Dhimmi Carter…. Hate comedy and sex …. Thank God for the independent thinkers.

Whoever “Erin” is, I doubt her mother “is” or “ would have been” proud. I’ve received texts, emails , messages and comments of this type for years. They began when I broke rank with the Democrats, daring to diametrically oppose Obama. I didn’t fare much better when Candace Owens burst on the Conservative scene and couldn’t stand her either. I saw right through her.

The worst “ crime” one can commit is thinking outside the box. Ergo, March, you’re a felon.Guilty of committing treason.
