The Augean Stables of D.C. By Ralph K. Ginorio (12/01/24)
This thoughtful essay describes the Herculean task that our new administration and each citizen must undertake to save our United States republic. Now is NOT the time to relax and let "them" handle it. We must be active participants or the momentum will die.
Excerpts from the article:
Mythological Hercules undertook twelve labors to demonstrate his worth as a semi-divine Olympian hero...
…the most vivid of these tasks [for the author is] the cleansing of the Augean stables. Imagine stables so caked with accumulated filth that only a literal Herculean effort would be needed to cleanse them. To make matters worse, he only had a single day to accomplish this deed.
Hercules determined that only by redirecting the flow of an entire river through these stables could he possibly succeed... Having committed himself to this task and being pressured by an implacable deadline, Hercules thought his way through this problem... Employing his creativity more than his brawn, Hercules passed this test.
…Americans are faced with an Augean Stable of our own making. As citizens, a critical mass of us…allowed our elected leaders to rule in our name, trusting that they would keep us at peace, both prosperous and free. We assumed that the free press would fairly inform us if our leaders went off-mission. We allowed our civic duty, to be vigilant in defense of our freedom, to lapse.
The disastrous results of the proverbial silent majority’s dereliction of duty only became impossible to ignore in the 2024 election cycle.
This is not a normal time. It requires heroes and it demands our civic engagement. …archons of “business as usual” cannot be permitted to protect their cushy privileges at the expense of our reclaiming control over our own government and institutions.
Trump and MAGA are Hercules. The Deep State is the Augean Stables. Moderate RINOs are the failed stable hands… We awakened Americans must be that river which, when unleashed, will …restore a clean and worthy government dedicated to the preservation of our natural, God-given rights. Nothing less will do!
