He had finished the coffee and laid the cup on the table and he had his eyes on the scrolled brown pattern of the cup while he went through his thinking.”
–Ernest Haycox (The Earthbreakers)
Mornin’ to yuh, Pard. Yep, been doin’ a heap of deep-thinkin’ this week. My land, when yuh think yuh’ve seen it all, then wham–yuh ain’t. Yuh know the world used to be like the ol’ merry-go-round at the carnival, but now it’s more like the tilt-o-whirl. It’s not only spinnin’, but it’s spinni’ this a-way and that a-way, and jerkin’ the daylights out of yuh at the same time.
But let’s take a moment to savor the elixir before us. Ahhh, good an’ strong. Hopefully it’ll help us see straight after bein’ on this topsy-turvy world. Hang on for what I’m ’bout to tell yuh will shake the bones of ol’ Baden-Powell. With the advent of WOKE, there is no longer the Boy Scouts of America. Yep, they’ve become ashamed of that name, for the reason of plain stupidity. It will now be called, Scouting America. How ’bout that? Don’t that shake yur gizzard some? WOKE, why don’t we really call it was it is–the lies of the devil.
I need another swaller after that to kinda settle the bile. But here’s something else. In the name of “culture” and WOKEISM, West Point will now be teaching all freshmen about the “evolution of cross-dressing in the military.” Yuh think I’m jokin’? Wish I were. Yep they say they need to be teachin’ regardin’ “gender norms.” My mercy, that’s easy enough–male and female. That’s all there is about gender; they way God made them. Yuh see, people are tryin’ to be little gods, and they’re gettin’ themselves and tryin’ to get others all confused. But let me tell yuh something else about the current situation that we are seein’ in our fightin’ forces; those that are supposed to be defendin’ us.
Here we go… Last year the Navy appointed a drag queen for help in recruitment in order to attract a “talented” and “diverse workforce.” Yuh talk ’bout jumpin-frioles! Thinkin’ to be wise they become fools. Lord, help us through the jungles…!
One thing for sure, keep yur heart right before the Lord, another is to ride straight, sit tall in the saddle. An’ as ol’ Paul wrote, “Be alert, stand firm in the faith, be brave and strong…oh, and one more thing–don’t forget to check yur cinch ‘fore yuh mount up.
Vaya con Dios.
