She They Await

In Beyonce they trust:

State assembly member Tina McKinnon began conventionally enough, saying: “Good morning, Mr. Speaker, members, and guests. Let us pray.” That was when it all started to go off the rails. McKinnon told the assembled solons: Raise your hands. Breathe in deep. Get yourself a new pair of boots, a shiny buckle, and a wide-brimmed hat. And sing praise as we enter the Cowboy Carter era. Ask yourself as Queen B ask [sic] us all, Can we stand for something? Now is not the time to face the wind, my friends. Now ain’t the time to pretend. Now is the time to let love in. Together, can we stand? Members, now is not the time for alligator tears. You see, just like Beyoncé, my family lived and died in America. Good ol’ USA. A whole lotta red in that white and blue. History can’t be erased. You lookin’ for a new America? Are you tired, workin’ time and a half for half the pay? I just pray that we don’t crash, because I keep my Bible on the dash. We gotta keep the faith. Members, keep the faith. California, keep the faith. And the members say, Amen. Queen B is Beyoncé and “Cowboy Carter” is the name of one of her albums. The bit about standing for something and this not being the time to face the wind comes from a song on that album, entitled “American Requiem.” The parts about looking for a new America and working time and a half for half the pay come from another song on that album, “Ya Ya.” What on earth was going on here? With this prayer, or whatever it was, it looks as if the Democrats have decided yet again to ignore the screamingly obvious fact that their kulturkampf has turned off millions of Americans, who are tired of being forced to play along with men who are pretending to be women and senile old figureheads pretending to be competent presidents.

All hail Beyonce...
