Breaking Up America: Liberty and Death

 -- Copyright 2022 by Tom Phillips 

Zaq Landsberg, Reclining Liberty
Give me liberty or give me death! thundered Patrick Henry at the dawn of the American revolution. 

Today, Liberty and Death are partners in a mass murder-suicide pact.  Police with assault weapons blow away mentally ill people with assault weapons, but only after allowing them to slaughter school children, church members, hospital patients and other helpless citizens.     

"Enough!" peeped President Biden, embarrassed into speaking after two weeks of daily massacres.  But the carnage here is dwarfed by the war in Ukraine, the  foreign-policy equivalent of a school shooting.  The Biden administration is pouring 40 Billion dollars worth of deadly American weapons into a fraternal conflict on the other side of the world -- on the pretense of defending democratic ideals we no longer practice at home. 

Maybe we have reached our inflection point at last.  A nation that tolerates child sacrifice to protect its arms industry must perish from the earth -- as must a nation that exports death and ruin and writes off a million civilian casualties as “collateral damage.”  

The USA is a failed state and a danger to humanity.  What is to be done?
