Nat Turner's Revenge

Before the American Civil War, a Virginia slave called Nat Turner led a brief, unsuccessful rebellion against the peculiar institution of slavery. Some said that after the slave insurrection was crushed, Turner cursed the US for her evil with his dying breath. The blood purge of blue defeating grey (and butternut) may not have been enough to assuage the angry souls who only shed their chains in the heavens. Perhaps the curse still holds long after man owning men was but a distant memory. We now have an American leader who is dismantling our republic, overturning our foundational principles, with a new target for the blitz, seemingly every day. Nat Turner might be pleased to know that the descendants of those who enslaved him are being strangled of liberty as the United States is forced to atone for the founding sin that accompanied so much founding freedom. Sovereignty is abandoned at borders, felons vote in droves, legal gun owners are harassed on the route to being stripped of Second Amendment Rights, homosexuals corrupt a sacred institution (marriage), private business is appropriated by government (banks and car companies), the military is systematically disenfranchised as absentee ballots from them are summarily discarded while illegal aliens, the dead, and the nonexistent vote, and we are reduced to beggar nation status, asking Communist Chinese to float our debt, as Obama tours the world, apologizing for our legacy of liberation and our prosperity that has allowed us through US aid and relief (since curiously, Herbert Hoover, who ignored so much American suffering, fed Europe's children during World War I, before his own failed Presidency) to feed the world-even , at times, North Korea. So, as we are humbled and stripped of what made us America, Nat find it in your heart to forgive us of Faulkner's great, national, original sin, and please let us get back to the business of feeding and freeing the world and spreading prosperity.
