Fight the Fight


People are told things you want do not come easy.... The causes you support your participation... If it's what you want and it's your cause you got fight the good fight..

But human nature makes one lose their perspective when fighting.. The fight becomes the cause.

One must keep their eye on the ball....and realize that winning the fight does not mean your cause wins... or results in what you want.. Except in your mind.. when your cause is defined by someone else losing and not your winning.

This is a possibility of what the Right is doing.. I say possibility.. because I don't know what their cause is ....except to defeat Liberalism..
And I know.....My saying it doesn't mean a damn thing to them.
I am not saying it to chastise the Right or get them to change their ways...

saying it.... as a warning to Liberals. Fight the GOOD fight...keep your eyes on the ball....And know defeating the Right doesn't define your winning.

FIGHT the "FIGHT"

Of course I will be accused of doing what I say other shouldn't do..
but I am NOT.

My goal is to not just to get rid of Trump...but make people see the evil of him....
Trump does not personify the RIGHT to me. The Right has nothing to do with it. Policy has nothing to do with it.
The evil of Lies, the evil of winning at all cost, the evil lacking empathy, the evil of manipulation, the evil of denigrating people and institutions, the evil of selfishness, self servicing and self-aggrandizement, The evils of fighting to fight.

Trump.. prove my cause everyday.. but this week has solidified it...
The death of George H W Bush.. is an amazing denouncement of Trump..

The Right thinks the accolades given George H are but a tactic.. the reverence to the dead. That the Left can do something now, that they wouldn't do when Bush was alive.
Maybe that's the way for some.. BUT NOT FOR ME... Two things... first I really didn't know George H, at the time, I didn't care to know. But I know NOW....
And what I know.. is regardless of politics, George H W Bush, represents EVERYTHING that makes me against Trump

I know I don't have to fight for it....It will all happen with or without me..
What make me against Trump is not a cause..Doesn't have to be... all I have to do is WAIT.
Trump has no where to go but DOWN....He can't be SAVED......Trump's death will Never bring out accolades from the Left.. and unlike Reagan.. he won't even bring it out from the Right....
The will be no joy in Mudville.. when Trump strikes out....There will be no joy, there will be no sorrow.. there will be NOTHING

The question I have... is not why I am against Trump...The question I ask the Right.... is why they defend him? My answer is... It's no longer a cause but simply ... FIGHT to FIGHT.

When George W Bush was asked what his father did that was wrong...
He immediately answered..Promising before the election he would not raise taxes.
But when he got in the office.... he had to deal with a problem of balancing the budget.
He decision, what he thought best for the country, was to cut spending and increase taxes. What that did was fracture the Republican party, and it sent out a warning to anybody... who the Republican base elected. Increase taxes and don't get re-elected.
George H W Bush... didn't care.. it defined one attribute of greatness.. not about winning... but knowing how to lose.... His job was not to get re-elected. And that became the end or an era..

History will be kind to George W Bush.. for that reason....he will known as the best one term President in American History. Trump guarantees that..

Just Cause should be the only true reason for fighting! Total belief is true conviction deeply heart felt thus justifying needed change!

When shared by many others, differences are acknowledged and battle lines are drawn!

Perhaps one of man kinds biggest flaw and faults?

If God were to deliver one line to all of mankind, I think it might be

"MANKIND LEARN FROM HISTORY YOUR EVIL MISTAKES"

You are one of a precious few I have ever encountered online to bring up the 'just cause' argument. You are absolutely right.

WTF? Cheap oil and Aids? Murder?
Which Bush are you talking about? Not that even matters..because part right isn't all right.

Now....I listen to those on Right talk about Obama.. do not believe Trump Lies. and I think what hateful narrow-minded idiots they are finding some biased crap to hang their hats on..

Now.. i really don't care which Bush or both Bush's.. you're talking about.. but what's good for the goose is good for the gander..and hateful, narrowminded idiots are not just the privy of the Right.
Now that may piss you off.. but you proved me right and made me happy ...that I wasn't wrong when i said..
"Maybe that's the way for some.. BUT NOT FOR ME."

And you don't have a fricken clue about what this blog is about.. Fight the "Fight"
When all you CAN Do is FIGHT, Blame, Judge others and not be judged... say it's not you opinion.. It's fact and science...Who made you the Encyclopedia of Knowledge and Compassion? When you don't know crap.

I know what you think this blog is about, but I'm starting to feel a little queasy attempting to swallow all the saccharine accolades to HW Bush. Dec1 was World AIDS day....and just happened to coincide with the media being pre0ccupied with HW's passing. I have several gay friends.....one of them a recently retired journalist and LGBTQ advocate.....as well as an artist who has been living with AIDS for 30+years........their response to the sugar-coated media blitz about HW got me digging a bit deeper---doing some research.

My fight is for truth and for the health of the Earth, including all life.......You go on and on, chase your tail and yet, somehow, against all likelihood, expect your intended message to be obvious and then you get all frizzled and frazzeled when someone contradicts an aspect of your convoluted verbosity.

And then there's his involvement in the Iran/Contra scandal and his pardoning of 6 of the criminals......

This blog was intended to be a warning to the Left..not chastising the Right..
All the stuff you mentioned is NOT the JOB of the President.. There's a big difference between action and a lack of action.
You have shown your ignorance to what George H W Bush actually DID. You are willing to chastise him for what he didn't do?
I have heard it all before from both sides.
I have seen hateful and narrow-minded before.. I know what it is.
I say this doesn't have to do with ideologies and policy.. it has to do with the truth, character, empathy, compassion and integrity.. of which you are lacking.
I'm not being self righteous. I see the hate and I point out the hate..You can think whatever you want.

I do share your sentiment here. I wrote my own blog on the day of his death and I gave him credit for knowing when to stop the first Iraq war, his tough position on Israel, his handling of the fall of communism. He made the right call when he raised taxes and he was correct to abandon the NRA because of their bizarre extremism. But it was not a perfect presidency and America got it right when they elected Bill Clinton. I also hold him responsible for that terrible Willie Horton ad.
