Jim Meskimen, the fellow quoted at left, is among the brightest and most talented people I’ve ever met, but I take issue with what he says here.
When one’s native country has become beset by a criminal sociopath in the position of leadership, responsible, high-integrity people become politically active, and do anything in their power to remove this cancer before it destroys us.
Ever since I was a small boy, I wondered:
What makes a loving God wrathful?
Why would He be pissed at nonbelievers?
Since He gave us intelligence, shouldn’t He be fine with people who simply didn’t see enough evidence to believe that He exists?
We’ve become a nation of morons–the only people who could possibly accept what this criminal lunatic is claiming.
Investors need to believe that the future of transportation is in internal combustion engines powered by fossil fuels.
Highly unlikely.
What I find most remarkable is how stupid and gullible the average American is.
It wasn’t always like this.
My personal reaction to Trump flags is more of pity than offense. Life is tough enough without being deprived of a moral compass and even a meager level of intelligence.
In any case, we see such displays in ever-decreasing numbers, as Trump’s approval rating continues to fall, due to the president’s cognitive decline and brazen criminality.
One of the many unique and disgusting features of today’s GOP is that they don’t back down when they make a mistake, regardless of how obvious and indefensible that mistake may be.
To paraphrase the late American historian Howard Zinn:
If you’re, say, Norway, and you don’t go around the world starting wars, patriotism and a sense of national pride is not a problem. If you’re the United States, with your imperialism and incredible military might, it’s a huge problem.
At left we see the ideas of two other historian/philosophers on the subject.
One has to wonder how much more gas Trump has in the tank when he calls those who disapprove of him (especially blacks and women) “low IQ.”
Aren’t we approaching a point when this type of stupidity will cease to be effective?
There must be a bottom of the pit we’ve fallen into.
Does Sharia Law pose an actual threat to Americans? Are we on a path to chopping off the hands of shoplifters? Passing laws that concern what people can and cannot eat? Polygamy? Forcing women to wear the hijab?
Maybe.
Or maybe this congressman is a loudmouth asshole whose constituents are morons.
