Dominance Games: The mensch of midnights past, our calling. Tough as nails and grateful.

So.  This is us.  This is today.  Can tomorrow be as close as tomorrow?  Can we be what we say we never were?  Can we be what we say we never stood for….so the rank patriots and fellow screamers tell us.

Can we be the opposite of good, the opposite of decent…again and always.  Can we be the picture perfect us; strong, moribund, phlegmatic, anxious, dead.  Cane we be special and angry?  Can we build the better mousetrap of pride on the backs of the unbetter mice?

Curse needy compassion.  Curse malevolent social engineering.  Curse the race of the swift, the loud, the strong, the sure.  The needy, the daft secure hard, put interests of survival through the eye of a needle.   The majority must be preserved….shaped….captured….held for ransom.

Nimble minds please nimble feet and nimble feet retrieve phantom futures.  Our America means hard knocks and tough brawling; means no crying, no self pity, no banality; a tough country but a hard one.  Freedom means earn it day after day.  Freedom to be of stern stuff and hold charity not for show, not for value.

Starve the beasts of virtue, the beasts of governing.  Hope and charity takes up the slack.  Starve the beast of irredeemable knowledge dead air festers in  ripe so that it can become the noxious poisons of our fears.  Rank illiterates hate the common good.  Who would choose the courage to understand?  Damned well rank evil gnomes.

Fortress fortress us and tough thinking folk.  Picture perfect.  We are what we choose to be, what our dreams are made of…Good but careful….trust but verify….the help of last resort.

The staunch and the brave we are.  The reluctant savior, we are.  Mental anguish over tough choices we have. The mensch of midnights past, our calling.  Tough as nails and grateful.  With hearts of gold we survive.  Using them is not always easy.
