Let Us Rejoice and Be Glad in It

As I watched the Welcome Concert yesterday I was overcome with emotion. It felt as if we’d been imprisoned behind great gray walls for 8 long years and today is the day of our liberation. The heavy doors will open and we will once again walk into the sunshine and breathe the intoxicating air of freedom. As the left likened Obama as their messiah so, it seems, Donald Trump has come to be our Moses, leading us to a promised land of renewed vitality.

I have never been much for pomp and circumstance, but found myself getting teary-eyed and my throat tightened listening to Sam Moore singing ‘America the Beautiful,’ to Lee Greenwood singing ‘God Bless the USA,’ to Toby Keith singing ‘Courtesy of the Red White and Blue.’

Keith was the biggest name act, even though he performed for both George W. Bush and Barack Obama previously. To many on the left it was the only time they ever saw him perform. They generally eschew country music, since it’s what a lot of Trump voters listen to. You know, those bitter clingers with the Bibles and the gun racks, country-ass hillfolk who inbreed?

There were no names like Streisand or McCartney, no Elton John or Springsteen.
If there was one disappointment, it would have to be that Trump’s speech sounded like he was still campaigning. He is supposedly writing his inaugural address himself. He needs to sound a tone of co-operation and moving the country forward after 8 years of a brutal one-party dictatorship. There are three balls planned this evening, as opposed to the ten Barry had, and his address is reportedly about 20 minutes, as opposed to former president, Ben T. Penis, who rambled on for two hours.

The crowd will be full of military, veterans, bikers, truckers, construction workers, the people who really make America the crown jewel of the world. To paraphrase the late Martin Luther King Jr., ‘Free at last, free at last. Thank God Almighty, we are free at last.’
