WWTFFD?

Pilgrim Landing

Dear Patriots,

You may think the title of this post is an acronym for a massive collection of expletives.  Let your mind wonder to what might have been.

What would the Founding Fathers do?  That is the question. We can only look to our history and assume what they would do, based on what they DID do. In this current political situation, what would they do?  The talking heads love to invoke these Founding Fathers, like they are the sages of blessed memory.   Implying that to disagree with the opinions of these talking heads is an insult to the Founding Fathers.  As if to go against the Founding Fathers is akin to treason; which should be swiftly dealt with – according to Gen. George Washington.

How would Washington, Franklin, Jefferson or even Madison react to these current events?  Keep in mind, these are the men who wrote:

…all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness.”

Also sanctioned, cultivated and monetized the “Peculiar Institution” which dehumanized Africans, negating their connection to mankind itself and stripping them of these “unalienable rights” endowed by this divine creator.

What would they do, faced with humans fleeing annihilation?  Escaping persecution? Trying to forget their mass destruction and rebuild a vision of their own happiness?  These pilgrims who sojourned across the Atlantic escaping the tyranny of a monarch.  These tired, poor, huddled masses yearning to breathe free…WWTFFD?

In the wake of the executive order that banned immigrants, restricted the H1-B Visa program and sought to enhance the already complex vetting process all immigrants from the Axis of Evil flee from, encounter on our soil – WWTFFD?  Do some Americans think that the immigrants would do what the Founding Father’s ancestors did?

Would they deliberately spread sicknesses in our fabrics to exterminate us?  Would they rape, murder and poison us with drugs to keep us passive?  Would these immigrants grow in number and in force and round us up; only to march us to the desolate pockets of the wild frontier?   Would they force us to stop worshiping our God and lock us in re-education camps and attempt to erase our memories of what we once were?

These same men who fought for a more perfect union  but at the same time cultivated the tolerance of the dehumanization of people so they couldn’t be considered “men”. WWTFFD?

Let your mind wonder to what might have been.
