Several district attorneys in Massachusetts are calling on judges to stop using more lenient sentencing guidelines that contradict minimum sentences set by law.
One example: Rape and abuse of a child aggravated by age difference between the defendant and the victim carries a mandatory minimum 10-year prison sentence in state law (Massachusetts General Laws, Chapter 265, Section 23A), but according to Essex County district attorney Jonathan Blodgett, the Massachusetts Sentencing Commission has recommended a sentence of 7 ½ years, and some judges are going by it. Blodgett calls it a "a clear violation of existing law," according to the Brockton Enterprise.
These are difficult times that should challenge us all, with our outlook, and hope, e'en our spirits subdued From the ceaseless, relentless, unpleasant campaigning of spoiled adult children with behavior quite crude, As if they are hostages captive to shock and sheer hatred, they make a sick toxic collection Of obviously mis'rable self-loathing wretches who obsessively can't get past Don Trump's election.
THE CHALLENGE
Midst self-imposed mis'ry the Democrats strive To do only one thing and that is to drive Mr. Trump from The White House at no cost too great, So they gorge one another on bottomless hate.
With vindiction, conspiracies, lies they do preach, With the sole goal our President fin'lly impeach. The Dems have shown lit'rally that they hate Trump More than love for our country, they can't make that jump.
It's as if this obsession has left them brain dead, Thus no policies, plans, only "NO-TRUMP" instead. Most we now hear 'bout their aims are the same, At best superficial, unreal, and inane,
An embrace of ideas proven clearly to hurt By slowly replacing our freedoms with dirt, And that's for both rich folks as well as the poor, Impov'rishment equal for all, that's for sure.
THE CRISIS
The harm to our nation from this trend is clear, His'try has shown 'twill mean mis'ry severe. How, then, explain these ideas' wide appeal To so many, young and old, they do seem a good deal?
Sorry to say the main reasons are known; Gross ign'rance from two sources stead'ly has grown. Schooling is one, largely in higher ed, The truths from the past, rarely taught, become dead.
Media's the other, what's reported reflects Schooling's fashions and failures plus other defects. Daily barrages of negative news, A one-note staccato of dark, vengeful views
Led by Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer they Do exemplify, sadly, a neurotic play Of two actors defeated, embittered with spite, So consumed by their darkness they can't see the light.
And their most vocal colleagues, some old and some young, With mainly emotions spew nonsense like dung From the trash heaps of his'try's ideas that have failed, Their harm and their worthlessness have been unveiled.
Yet Kamala touts Medicare for us all While rejecting the need for a strong border wall. And the new young Dem darling who's called AOC, She is so self-adoring past her self-love can't see While displaying an ign'rance of limitless scope With no shame at defining herself as a dope. Our slogan should be: "AOC, she's for me, 'Cause all that she says is so clearly crazee!"
