Intro

It's time for a reality check ...

Maybe we’ve reached the point of diminishing astonishment.

But I suspect that much of what we’re hammered with every day really doesn’t make much of an impact on most of us anymore. We’ve heard the same stories too often. We’ve been exposed to the same issues for so long without any meaningful resolution. We recognize that reality is rapidly becoming malleable, primarily in the hands of whoever has the biggest microphone. How else can we explain a society where myth asserts itself as reality, based entirely how many hits it gets online?

We know that many of the “issues” as defined are pure crapola, hyped by politicians on both sides pandering to “the will of the people,” which is still more crapola. Inevitably, it’s not the will of all the people they reflect, but the will of relatively small groups of people with disproportionate political influence.

Nobody wants to face up to the realities of the issues. Nobody wants to say what’s right or wrong – even when it’s obvious and there are numbers to back it up. Most of us are afraid to bring up the realities for fear of being accused of being insensitive or downright mean.

So we say nothing. Until now.

It’s time for a reality check on the fundamentals – much of which is common knowledge to many of us, already. But it might be comforting to know you are not alone …

Why I can't vote for Democrats ...

I’m not crazy about the Republicans, but Democrats are too crazy for me. 

Between chasing Republicans from restaurants and frantic outbursts from supposed leaders in the Democrat party to “get in the face” of Republicans and administration officials wherever they are, and calls to overthrow the government, it’s all too much. 

Seriously, that party’s been taken over by lunatics.  And often violent lunatics at that. Plus, they aren’t honorable – by that I mean you can’t trust them to keep their word.  Or tell the truth. 

Perhaps the final straw is that I can’t abide their willful ignorance. You can fix a lot of things in this world but you can’t fix stupid. If they don’t understand how the balance of power in our government is supposed to work, what’s in the Constitution, or the role of the Supreme Court, then they should do us all a favor and STFU until they do.

All that information is readily available, but they don’t want to know any of this because it gets in the way of what they “feel.”  They truly believe their emotions trump everyone else’s rights.   

You can’t reason with them, any more than you can with a petulant four-year-old, which is how they act too often these days.  They pout, they shout, they throw tantrums when they don’t get their way. Even when they get their way they take that as a sign of weakness and press for more concessions.  It’s a never-ending siege in which they will never be satisfied. 

Honestly, it’s exhausting to deal with them. There’s no such thing as social intercourse with them; they are too Hell-bent on ideologically raping you. That’s why so many of us sadly now avoid former friends who’ve become strident Democrats; as much as we try to keep our political opinions to ourselves in social gatherings, they can’t resist attacking us because we might not agree with them.   

It’s more than bad behavior.  It borders on insanity.

I was at a social event not long ago when someone – apropos of nothing – started blaming Trump for why they made a crappy salary as a teacher 10 or so years ago.  Think about that.  10 or so years ago. Everybody was afraid to bring up that Trump had nothing to do with it, for fear that person would go even further off the rails, as they had done many times before. Others tried valiantly to change the subject, but the person wouldn’t let it go. This is all too commonplace. 

The Kavanaugh hearings fully exposed the reality of today’s Democrats and their supporters. It wasn’t a good picture.

Democrat Senators on the Judiciary Committee displayed their complete and utter ignorance about the Constitution and the rule of law.  Then they pulled a trick play – the unfounded and uncorroborated Ford allegations they’d known about for months but never disclosed until then – after the hearings were officially over. Talk about ignoring the rules. 

They demanded a delay to hear Ford tell her story. That was granted.  When Kavanaugh rebutted Ford’s story, they went back to his high school yearbook to try to find something incriminating.  Then they demanded an FBI investigation that, in their words, should only take a few days.

They had Democrat activists and other alleged “survivors” of sexual assault flood the halls of Congress to get in the face of Senators on the Judiciary Committee right before the critical vote. At the last moment, a Republican Senator caved under the pressure and the tearful urging of Democrat Senator Coons.  The request for yet another FBI investigation was granted. 

When after those few days the FBI couldn’t corroborate any of Ford’s story, or of two other alleged assault “victims” that had suddenly appeared, they accused the White House of a coverup. 

Kavanaugh got confirmed, despite their best efforts to slime him, and is now an Associate Justice on the Supreme Court.  But as the swearing in was underway, Democrat protesters pounded on the doors of the Supreme Court, screaming. That’s a tantrum.    

So the new approach from the Democrats is that if they take back the House majority, they will conduct additional investigations of Kavanaugh – a sitting Supreme Court Justice – with the goal of impeaching him and removing him from the Court.

Of course, they also plan to impeach Trump.

They are nuts.  They also don’t know what’s involved in removing someone from the Supreme Court or the White House.  There’s no point in educating them; they aren’t interested. 

To show how out of touch they really are, after all their violence and threats of violence, they claim the only way to bring back civility is for Democrats to take back the House.

If that isn’t crazy, I don’t know what is. 

I can’t vote for any of them.
