Summer is here
The first day of summer is usually a melancholy day for me. I, usually beginning on the first day of winter, celebrate the lengthening of days. I guess in my perfect world I would migrate back and forth between the North Pole and the South Pole, and then basking in the 24 hour celebration of the respective seasonal solstice celebrate my personal triumph over the physics of the universe. I try to tell my self that the day after the first day of summer is just as long as the day before the first day of summer but in my mind it really doesn't help.I do not remember how old I was when I realized the significance of the day. I remember long days as child playing 'Tennisball'. Tennisball is a fusion of stickball and baseball. We played it with anywhere from two to 8 people equal number or ability on each side. The games started before school finished. I guess I remember the realization that would set in around the first week in July that we were not able to play as long as we could a few weeks before.
As the days went forward the nights came sooner and sooner. Eventually school started and though that wasn't necessarily bad, it was less time to play. Overtime the kid realized that the play was maximized as summer approached, and diminished from there.
My experience reminds me of the state of present day liberalism. They have moved past the summer of their influence. The Great Society has come, ruled, failed and faded. The pontificators of modern liberalism are left to exhortations that are shrill and don’t pass the laugh test. The President is a liar, unelected, illegitimate and appointed, all while their great hero admits that he lied under oath in a 900 page tome. Not that we didn’t already know that he had because, after all, he had already been disbarred for lying under oath.
Liberal forces in the public discourse get hung on misdeeds committed by US soldiers numbering in the 30 to 40 range while failing to show the atrocities committed by Saddem Hussein and his legions numbering in the thousands. Mass graves, tongues cut out with razor blades, perfectly healthy men having their right hands cut off, and then filming the horror in their faces when they wake from the anesthesia all recorded for posterity by the perpetrators. Liberalism has had its solstice and to go forward it must convince the average voter that they are something that they are not all while screaming that the President is a liar, something which he is not.
