Miasma

Photo taken by me in my backyard this morning about 6:30 AM. Canon A620, auto f1.4.

Miasma 1. swamp gas; 2. heavy, vaporous atmosphere, often emanating from decaying matter; 3. pervasive corrupting influence.

Pronunciation: \mī-ˈaz-mə, mē-\; Function: noun; Etymology: New Latin, from Greek, defilement, from miainein to pollute.

What a perfect photo to explain how I feel about today's inauguration and the thought of an Obama presidency. Miasma. All three definitions apply.

"I've been listening to Barack Obama for a year-and-a-half. I know what his politics are. I know what his plans are, as he has stated them. I don't want them to succeed." -- Rush Limbaugh: I hope Obama fails

Do I agree? You betcha.

Obama and Biden support making the expired federal Assault Weapons Ban permanent. change.gov

This false messiah will get no palm branches from me.

"A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed."

Researchers have noted that exercise of the right to bear arms internationally is intrinsically linked to a people's ability to possess them, and that the possession of arms is the distinction between a freeman and a slave. wikipedia

This is not the history I'll be a part of. - c
