Okra, I'm glad it grows where I live. It is one of my favorite foods. It tastes good no matter how you cook it, and it is good for you. You plant it in the spring and it will keep producing until the first frost of the fall. However, during the mid-growing season, it might stop producing. When this happens, my Nanny would say the Okra needs a good whooping.
A whooping! What did that mean? It is simple really. As an okra stalk grows it always produces at the top of the plant. Even though it is not making any okra the bottom of the plant still has the old leaves. These old leaves are useless but draw nutrients from the stalk, preventing the plant from making tender okra at the top. So, my Nanny would take a brush broom and knock the old leaves off. The okra would then start producing again.
Here is where I would begin a spiritual analogy. However, this is not a spiritual lesson, it is a civics lesson. You see the United States of America was designed to produce. With our natural resources, we could and should be completely independent of the rest of the world. This great land can deliver everything that we, the American citizens need.
However, most elected politicians are like old okra leaves. They do no good and only hinder our great country. They have turned the government into a giant money laundering scheme to pad their evil egos. For example, no federal program or department ever accomplishes anything and they never go away. They were not designed to achieve anything they were only designed to line the pockets of career politicians perpetually.
The politicians and the so-called news media constantly treat Americans like mushrooms, they want to keep us in the dark and feed us crap. They tell you that the programs and departments are for your good. They say the government will protect you and provide for your every need. With governmental smoke and mirrors, they promise to defend your civil rights while behind your backs they decimate the Constitution. As long as they can convince gullible people to vote for them, they will get away with it.
The treasonous traitors in Washington DC have sold our birthright for their profit. The nation's capital is full of bottom-feeding, nutrient-sucking parasites. It is time for God-fearing American citizens to take a brush broom to Washington DC and eliminate the bottom-feeders.
