My Dear America:
I didn't watch them all but I watched quite a few of the Incredible array of War Movies that Turner Classic Movies featured on their Movie Channel over the past Memorial Day Weekend War Movie Marathon.
As usual TCM brought out the Big War Movie Gems Like the Academy Award winning Blockbusters including "The Bridge On The River Kwai", "The Dirty Dozen" and "The Great Escape" along with many other Civil War, World War I and World War II Movies.
I must admit that watching these classic Films filled me with a burning feeling of Patriotism and love for my country but now after watching a weekend of films about Americans fighting against Nazis and Facists, as well as against each other it fills me with a kind of dread about what we are currently experiencing in our country at the present time. Although our predecessors fought hard to keep Nazi's from taking over the world we seem to be currently in the early days of a Full Blown Nazi takeover of the United States of America which could unfortunately lead to a Nazi takeover of the World.
How in the hell did this happen?
How did we allow ourselves to get bamboozled by a Con Man Dictator Loving Jerk who is now in the throes of Dementia as he supervises the denigration and dismantling of our Government, while the Republican Party refuses to accept the fact that they have hitched their bandwagon to a Super Corrupt Madman who is quickly going to take them down with the rest of us.
I want to personally thank TCM for giving us at least a weekend of Patriotic Fervor while we watched their carefully selected movies that showed us just how brave and dedicated our Military Heroes were back in the day. They always seem to feature Great Films but it seems as though they really outdo themselves on Memorial Day Weekend.
It is difficult for me to fathom how we have come so far down the rabbit hole so fast.
Last year at this time Donald Trump was being convicted of 34 Felonies in a New York City Courtroom and he was also facing several Federal Charges which should have put him in jail, rather than in the White House.
Although Trump's former Right Hand Man, Michael Cohen went to jail for over two years for the same crime that Trump was convicted for, Trump, by getting elected, escaped jail time for that crime.
Also after he was elected his Federal Charges disappeared and the Supreme Court not only gave Trump a get out of jail card, they gave him a Do Anything You Want Card.
Most of the heroes who saved us from the Nazi Menace are gone now. Many died in countries where they fought and many have died of old age. We only wish that more of them were still around to inspire us to fight like hell to keep our country from becoming a Dictatorship with little resemblance to the Patriotic Democracy in which we used to live.
On June 14th we will have the opportunity to join in a Country Wide Demonstration to show that we are not satisfied to live under Authoritarian Control.
Our Fallen Heroes gave their lives for Liberty and Justice For All.
On June 14th and every other day of our lives It is time for the rest of us to give our support for Democracy and for Democrats because at this point what is left of the Republican Party Seems to be a lost cause.
Sincerely Yours
Jerry Gallagher
