All ten candidates who took the stage at the Debate on Thursday are unnecessary. That’s my take-away from this clown car. Unnecessary. Superfluous. Gratuitous. And any other number of words available on my MS-Word thesaurus. That being said, between what was said both on and off stage, this may as well have been a meeting of The Committee To Re-Elect Donald Trump.
Because this is still a Republic, so those who would lead need to convince the rest of us how much we need them. Of course, we don’t need them. But they will make every effort to persuade us that we do. After spending most of their lives persuading themselves, of course. Ask them enough questions, really get deep below the surface, and to a man or a woman, sooner or later they’ll all come back with, “the country needs me.”
Such hubris seems to be a prerequisite to run for public office.
My Dream Question.
Most of you have never put hammer to nail, created a job in the private sector, struggled to make payroll, strung a power line, or hung a light fixture. Given your complete lack of contribution to the machinery of Western Civilization, do any of you acknowledge that you are a luxury?
Seriously, I just want to know if any of them would just admit that they have no idea how the lights stay on.
Gone But Not Forgotten.
Proof that even a Democrat politician can be value added.
Thank you Tulsi Gabbard, for making the white pantsuit great again. We’ll miss you.
The Reason For The 2nd Amendment.
But first a word on Robert Francis O’Rourke. To summon Barry Soetoro, let me be clear: I will not now, nor will I ever, refer to an Irish-to-the-bone fourth generation descendant of settlers by a Hispanic nickname he gave to himself.
I suppose we should him extend some gratitude for allowing the totalitarian mask to slip:
“Hell, yes, we’re going to take your AR-15, your AK-47. We’re not going to allow it to be used against our fellow Americans anymore.” With this, O’Rourke sealed Donald Trump’s re-election.
Now, I personally don’t know anyone who owns a Kalashnikov, and I don’t think O’Rourke does either.
That fact that he and his fellow totalitarians are so eager to disarm the populace, should tell you all you need to know. The debate over the second amendment is one of the few circular arguments in which I don’t mind indulging. Because the answers are so simple.
“Why do you need a gun?
“Because you question my need for it.” Boom we’re done here. Are you going to ask me again, trying to re-word it? Fine. You’ll get the same answer. Over and over. On this one, I can go all day.
I don’t need a gun, any more than I “need” to walk into Williams-Sonoma or Barnes and Noble. But it’s my right, clearly and unambiguously enshrined in our nation’s founding document.
The fact that we even have a Williams-Sonoma is all the proof one needs to affirm that we enjoy a ridiculous level of liberty. Please – don’t pretend that you don’t get the connection, or that I’m somehow being obtuse.
We are blessed, and to secure those blessings, we need an armed citizenry. A government should have a healthy fear of its citizens. The fact that so many of our aspiring leaders want us dis-armed means that they do indeed fear us. Let’s keep it that way.
Selah.
