(#5493) I am seething about the despicable republican party!

      It is reported by Russian authorities that Alexei Navalny has died in a Russian prison. His crime for being in a Russian prison was to try to run in an election against putin the tyrant! Alexei Navalny represented the hope for a better Russia and now he is reported as dead. It is like for me when President Kennedy, Martin Luther King, and Bobby Kennedy were assassinated because they represented a bright hope future here in America. Whenever someone or something good tries to take place in our societies there seems that the worst of our examples of human beings comes out and takes that good away.
     My heart is breaking this morning at this news and at the same time has filled me with a determination that is as strong as the hardest metal. I will never relent to the evil and worst that some would wreak upon us. The hope for a brighter day will not leave my soul and will always be my guiding light. There is a battle for the soul of our species and if you are not sure about that then I am afraid you have already been defeated. So I suggest you do this as a way of learning if you are. Are your favorite politicians promoting democracy? Are they promoting the right for all who are eligible to vote? Are they fighting to elevate women above being classified as property? Are they fighting to preserve the dignity of all human beings instead of just some?
     If you can honestly answer any of these questions within your own self then you will be able to understand that the forces of oppression are out there and pretending to be normal and friendly. Yet they are not! The soul of our species is being hijacked by a few privileged neanderthals who think they know better than those who have accepted that logic, facts, and reasoning have a greater perspective in finding the truth than their own ego's. We the public had better wake up and look around us at those who say they are what they are not. When the republican party says that we are in a national security crisis and then promptly call for a House recess you cannot ignore the hypocrisy and the wanton disregard for your ability to see their duplicity!
