We’ll all be on our knees, the way things are going

Since when is kneeling disrespectful? We stand to honor, to protest, in unity and in defiance. We kneel in reverence or in subjugation. When we kneel by our own free will, it is generally reverential. If it’s not, then all those who kneel in prayer are disrespectful.

After the news that our government is chucking the Clean Power Plan, we should all fall to our knees and pray we won’t die from poisoned water and air.

Sen. Mitch McConnell will finally have his dream fulfilled of an America that looks like Beijing on a hot summer day. Who doesn’t want to live in a nation where you can’t see your hand in front of your face; one where you could stand a spoon upright in a cup of water if it doesn’t eat the spoon up first?

No clean air; no clean water; no heath care; no living wage. And soon enough, no education that isn’t approved by our dear leaders. I understand why our current government is against abortion, but I’m surprised they’re against immigration. Without the things listed above, they’re going to need all the indentured workers they can find.
