The Second Coming

Turning and turning in the widening gyre
The falcon cannot hear the falconer; 
Things fall apart;  the centre cannot hold;
Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world,
The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere
The ceremony of innocence is drowned;
The best lack all conviction, while the worst
Are full of passionate intensity.

Surely some revelation is at hand;
Surely the Second Coming is at hand.
The Second Coming!  Hardly are those words out 
When a vast image out of Spiritus Mundi
Troubles my sight:  somewhere in sands of the desert
A shape with lion body and the head of a man,
A gaze blank and pitiless as the sun, 
Is moving its slow thighs, while all about it
Reel shadows of the indignant desert birds.
The darkness drops again;  but now I know
That twenty centuries of stony sleep
Were vexed to nightmare by a rocking cradle,
And what rough beast, its hour come around at last, 
Slouches towards Bethlehem to be born?

W.B. Yeats, 1921

Revolution Without Bullets

       Legal systems develop over time as nations enshrine their customs and adapt to changing circumstances.  Letting large numbers of immigrants into a nation is a revolutionary act because they bring foreign ideas and customs and are unlikely to conform to existing laws.  It takes time to assimilate immigrants into thinking and acting like the nationals who are already there.
       Minnesota Congresswoman Ilhan Omar is a perfect example.  She has brought far-left opinions and hatred for Jews to America.  And because Oh Blah Blah brought hundreds of thousands of Somali Muslims to our shores, Rep. Ilhan Omar sits in our national legislature, where she will warp the laws created by Congress.  Hope and change meant putting a hateful leftist married to her own brother into a position of power.

The opposite of an error isn't the truth;  it is the opposite error.
