This past week I listened to the fallout from Right Wing Media about Governor Andrew Cuomo's comment about America never being so "great" with an amazed feeling. The faux outrage of Right Wing pundits to attack Cuomo as some kind of idiot "liberal Lefty" without a whit of appreciation for America was enough to cause them to suffer fits of rage and convulsions of disbelief. How could a man say such a thing? America has always been great, right? Except aren't these the very same people that promoted Donald Trump's campaign theme that he alone would "fix America" by "Making America Great Again!" ("MAGA")? What? If Cuomo is fair game to attack for publicly claiming America was never so "great", where is the outrage over Trump's campaign rhetoric and theme of MAGA? I mean, if one is to make America great again, doesn't that imply that America was no longer great? If saying America was never great is so despicable, then where is the outrage that a candidate for president convinced so many followers that America was no longer great and a change was needed? Somehow, I can't seem to see the difference between being once great and not being "so great" anymore. The hypocrisy of the Right never ceases to amaze me.
Saturday evening I had the chance to view Spike Lee's new film, "The BlackKKlansman." All I can say is that everyone should go see this film. Although a true story set in the early 1970's, the topics covered and experienced at that time have a close connection to the reality we are facing as a nation today. And that is exactly the point Lee makes in this entertaining and yet troubling film. Although I am by no means a movie critic, I can guess that the film will not be a big hit with Trump and his supporters. Which is exactly why everyone else should go see it. You not only will be entertained, but also left with a sense that America is indeed living in a
deja vu moment - and not a great one!
In light of the constant noise from the Trump machine about "Witch Hunts" and "Rigged Investigations", I leave you with a quote from James Allen; "The man who cannot endure to have his errors and shortcomings brought to the surface and made known, but tries to hide them, is unfit to walk the highway of truth." Have a great week!
