217: If BO Pardons Hillary

If Hillary wins, and then BO pardons her for all crimes committed during her reign as secretary of state, all Americans who did NOT vote for Hillary should stop paying federal income tax.

216: Patriots Are For Trump

Let me be clear:  Although I have never met Donald Trump, his persona, as displayed in the entertainment sphere is not attractive to me.  Perhaps he is a fine fellow to do business with, or to play golf with.  I just don't know.

But as for who is better qualified to head up an organization (the United States government) that is hell bent on self destruction, anyone who votes for Hillary over Trump is definitely NOT a patriot.  Patriots believe in upholding and defending the principles and values upon which this country is founded.  Freedom, self-reliance, justice, are not values of Hillaryism.  Hillary believes that government should run virtually every facet of our lives.  She also believes that the vast majority of us are incapable of making decisions about what is in our best interest.  Only Big Government can do that, she says.

Institutionalized Republicans are no better than Hillary.  They only want to preserve and grow the status quo, and continue to feather their own nests.

I read somewhere recently a description of Trump as a "wrecking ball."  This is exactly what Washington, D.C.  needs.  If we don't reform our governing class, the only certain outcome will be revolution.

215: The Over-Educated

One of the more widely used descriptions of Trump supporters used by the in-the-tank-for-Hillary national media is, "less educated white voters."  The clear inferences that the media wants one to take from this are:  First, less educated means dumber.  Second, less educated white voters are different from less educated black, brown and yellow voters.  Third, if a less educated white voter got a college degree, he or she would be smarter and suddenly become a Hillary suppporter.

Leaving aside the media's racial profiling, I think the most telling observation here is that the media equates formal education with the ability and intelligence to make an informed decision about a candidate for national office.  I have many friends and acquaintances with four year and/or advanced degrees who voted for BO twice, and will certainly vote for Hillary.  Most of these folks will blindly accept as truth any snarky comment made on NPR or MSNBC.  But they will not take the time to read and consider a well researched and reasoned article if it is in the WSJ.  These people are over educated, and the product of an insular environment that excludes any information that does not comport with their conventional "wisdom."  The Federal Reserve System Open Market Committee is a perfect microcosm of this kind of over education run rampant.  A group of PhDs trying to convince themselves (and everyone else) that their Committee, and ONLY THEIR COMMITTEE, can direct an economy of three hundred million people by raising interest rates by one quarter of one percent per year.

But I digress.  Back to the less educated white voters.  The Deplorables, as Hillary calls them.  I suppose at the media cocktail parties, less educated white voters is abbreviated to "white trash."  These voters tend not to be beneficiaries of government largess.  They receive Social Security and Medicare, but then they have paid into those programs for a lifetime.  They do not receive preferential treatment for education or employment.  They work hard,  They save money for retirement.  They pay their taxes.  And what do they get in return?  They get eight years of BO telling them they should be ashamed of their country, and the prospect of seeing the next eight years of runaway government expansion presided over by a congenital liar.  No wonder we have Donald Trump.

214: BO Is Afraid, And He Should Be

BO is now spending more time trying to convince the electorate that Trump is "unfit" to be president than BO is spending doing the job that BO is supposed to be doing.  Maybe that's because BO is THE most spectacularly unqualified person to ever be president.

If Trump is elected it will rightly be a repudiation of everything BO has done.  BO will be exposed for the intellectual fraud that he is.  But I highly doubt this dream scenario will happen.

I had breakfast today with three dear friends who can't see the forest for the trees.  They all get their opinions from MSNBC.  They think that snarky comments from persons like Rachel Maddow are profound.  What a pity.  If they would only read, instead of watching TV. perhaps they could use their brains and actually make an informed decision.  These friends are very typical of the American masses.  This is not going to end well.

213: Who's Qualified To Be President?

BO burps out some claptrap about Trump being unqualified or unfit to be president.  The main stream media, in the bag for Hillary, puts out print, video, and every other kind of coverage it can to give credence to the "unfit Trump" narrative.  The vast majority of US citizens buy into the claptrap in the same way they think large banks and insurance companies and auto manufacturers "care" about them.  

BO set the bar for unfitness to be prez.  After BO, anyone with a pulse is qualified.

212: In The Arena

So BO thinks Hillary would be a good president because "she has been in the arena."  I guess BO is saying that Hillary, like BO, has never had a real job other than sucking the life blood out of taxpayers.  If BO had any knowledge of the real world, he would know that if anyone in this political process has been "in the arena," it's Trump.  Say what you will about him, but Trump has made his name a worldwide brand, and he has done it without taxpayer money.  He has also failed multiple times.  But this is what being "in the arena" means.  You take risks when you get "in the arena." Hillary obviously never risks anything.  She calculates what she should tell people she believes in to get votes.  Probably her only core belief is that she thinks she knows what is best for everyone else, so that her means justify her ends.  That's why she's such a good liar.

211: To Governing Class, Laws Mean Nothing

Both Republican and Democrat establishment types (meaning just about every individual with a vested interest in growing government at some level) are scared shitless of Donald Trump.  Trump has the best chance of any person in my lifetime to do some serious damage to the governing class (the group that creates laws and regulations that generally apply only to the non-governing class).  Just the idea of Trump is anathema to someone who is completely supported by taking hard-earned money away from taxpayers and using it to advance their own self interests.

The most recent and egregious example of the governing class fear of Trump is the refusal of the FBI and DOJ to enforce laws that Hillary has almost certainly violated.  But the governing class knows that to indict Hillary would be to hand Trump a huge advantage in his presidential bid.  So, Hillary gets a pass, and the governing class shows its contempt for the rest of us.

Why would anyone with half a brain have any respect for the law, and those who create it?
