This land is your land, this land is my land…
Once upon a time, there was a wonderful experiment. It was call the United States of America.
From California to the New York Islands…..
There was no country on earth like it. People could speak their mind. People could worship, or not, as they pleased. People could assemble. People could criticize their government and their leaders. The press were not censored. It was amazing. It was worth dying for. And people did die for this country and for the rights contained in The Bill of Rights.
From the redwood forest to the Gulf Stream waters…
There were free elections and a process was put in place for the peaceful change of power when a new president was elected.
This land was made for you and me.
Don’t look for this country. It no longer exists. Marc Zuckerberg, whose mouth is firmly attached to the narcissistic sociopath’s appendage common to males, has frozen my Facebook account. It’s not safe to criticize the government. It’s not safe to refer to the idiot in the White House as a narcissistic sociopath even though his niece, Mary Trump, a psychologist, wrote in her book that narcissistic sociopath is an accurate diagnosis. It’s not safe to refer to a man who lied to get low interest loans to build exploding cars as a nazi even after he proudly gave a nazi salute.
As I was walking, I saw a sign there…
I’ve been an attorney for 31 years. I began my career as a cooperating attorney for the New York Civil Liberties Union. I’m proud of the work I did for the NYCLU. I’m proud of how I fought my guts out for my indigent clients. I’m proud of how I fought to keep the state from steamrolling over my clients.
And on the sign it said no trespassing…
I know better than to ask the ACLU for help. I’ve been the recipient of two anti-semitic hate crimes. The ACLU couldn’t be bothered to acknowledge my request for help. Instead, the ACLU offered legal assistance to groups financed by terrorist organizations and swallowed the lie about Israel starting a war with Hamas.
But on the other side, it didn’t say nothing…..
Pete Seeger was called before the House Unamerican Activities Committee for signing one song. A famous song written by Woody Guthrie.
That side was made for you and me.
When I needed financial aid to attend law school, I had to sign an oath that I wouldn’t attempt to overthrow the government by violent means. After law school, four times I stood in court – in NY, in NM, in Federal District Court, and in the Supreme Court of the United States, I stuck up my right hand and made a promise to uphold the constitution. I meant it every time. Let me make one thing extremely clear to the narcissistic sociopath, the trailer trash VP, their nazi buddy and all their brainless minions: If you want to shut me up, you need large calibre firepower. In the meantime, I’m going to uphold the Constitution and the Bill of Rights.
Here’s the verse that got Pete in good trouble:
Nobody living can ever stop me,
As I go walking that freedom highway;
Nobody living can ever make me turn back
This land was made for you and me.
