Opening speaker for the Dems Sen.
Booker said, “individualism didn’t get us to the moon; we did it together”.
This said after acknowledging the “rugged individualism this country was built
on”. Going so far as to say he admired this “rugged individualism”. Ok, but his
next remark challenges what he just said. He’s forgetting that this “we did it
together” wasn’t a “group think” but individuals coming together to accomplish
something great. There is a difference.
These were
individuals with their own unique reasons and motivations for what they did.
Again, these accomplishments, Sen. Bookers example was going to the moon, were done
by individuals working together. Not some collective “group think”. Human
beings are individual by definition. This pandering to Pres. Obamas assertions
that great business leaders and company founders didn’t build their business
empires themselves. This despite almost all of our history to the contrary. Instead,
only succeeded because of the “people”. Make no mistake, he meant the “body
politic” or if you prefer, the federal government.
If
you think your job asking “you want fries with that” is in anyway of the same
value or importance to the likes of Bill Gates, Warren Buffet and such, you sir,
are badly mistaken. And if you think you deserve to be rewarded the same, to
that, all I can say is WTF.
Sen.
Booker says Clinton has “fought for people and delivered”. This in support of
his assertion that it’s “not how many billionaires you create but how many
people you have living in poverty”. Ok, I whole heartedly agree with this. So,
after almost eight years of Pres. Obama and his administration, which included
Hilary Clinton, what have we got? More blacks and Latinos living in poverty
than ever before. Thanks Hilary! You may be fighting for the people, but all you’ve
delivered is failure with those numbers. Much like your foreign policies that
have your hands stained with blood. Good work on that, Pres. Dumbass want-a-be.
Equal
pay for equal work. Sure, but remember, your customer service job taking
peoples orders for fries, isn’t equal to the people building roads, bridges and
the like. And you certainly don’t deserve the same pay. Sorry, but no matter
how hard the job might be compared to another, just because it’s hard, doesn’t
mean it’s hard to master and certainly doesn’t mean you deserve equal pay to
jobs that, like I just said, build the infrastructure and the future. Again, if
you think standing behind a counter ringing up people’s snacks deserves equal
pay because for you it’s hard to do, you are mistaken.
You
want an example of group think, well since the Mayor of Baltimore “gaveled”
open the convention, after the debacle that was Debbie Wasserman Schultz, just
think back to the riots her city hosted. That’s what you get with “group
think”. And of course, Nazi’s goose-stepping across Europe. Mustn’t forget
them. Great “group think” that was.
When
Michelle Obama’s turn came, I kid you not, she said she “lives in a house built
by slaves”. Get your conspiracy straight. The White House was built by the
Freemasons to further some nebulous future goal. I get it. You’re the first
black First Lady and your place in history his secure. As for your husband,
Pres. Professor Dumbass, that’s a bit more difficult to define. I’m a big fan
of science fiction and a lot of the books I read refer to this time as the
“terror wars” long before we had a war on terror.
And
Pres. Professor Dumbass’s contribution? To completely ignore it. To pretend
it’s not happening. To call acts of terrorism “workplace violence” undermines
the tragedy of these events and ties our hands in the fight to come. I’m old
enough to probably miss most of the bloodshed coming our way, but the
millennials are not so fortunate. Their blood will be spilled and it will be on
Pres. Obama’s hands. History will not judge Pres. Professor Dumbass’s time as
our leader well.
And
now for Sen Elizabeth Warren. She has got to be the most “pie in the sky”
dumbass ever to haunt the halls of power. I’m absolutely positive she’s not
buying into her own rhetoric. Yet it resonates with the poor and downtrodden.
She goes so far as to say Hillary, who has been part of the power structure for
decades is her choice for president. So, she can make the changes now? I’m not
exactly clear why Hillary Clinton would make any changes if she becomes
President. After all, the status quo gave her the White House.
Sen. Warrens
narrative differed sharply from First Lady Michelle Obama’s. Sen. Warren goes
on to condemn the current economic environment. Subtly hinting that it’s the
Republican’s fault. I’m pretty sure I’ve heard Pres. Professor Dumbass say how
rosy everything is going with him at the helm. Senator Elizabeth Warren’s,
hell, I don’t even have a nickname to sum her up, “ass hat” comes to mind, but
is kind of hard on the true ass hats out there. But I digress.
I just know Bill
O’Reily's watching Sen. Warrens speech with a grin. It was the very definition
of spin. Everything she said was deliberately miss-interpreted and her command
of basic economics and history are woefully inadequate to the task at hand.
That task, standing upright. How she manages to even dress herself is beyond
me. I mean, Sen. Warren said Hillary Clinton will get “big money” out of
politics. Where’s she been the last couple of decades? Hillary Clinton is the
very definition of big money in politics. All Hillary Clintons campaign funds
come from big money. All of it! Wall street and the leeches therein are HRC’s
biggest contributors. What planet does Sen. Warren live on? Again, how does she
even manage to dress herself.
On another note,
I’ve seen a few Facebook posts regarding the absence of American Flags on the
stage. What do you expect. These pandering fools don’t see themselves as part
of a country. They only see themselves in power. They are ashamed of our flag.
Come on, you know they are. We are a country, yet for some reason these
Democratic spokespeople refuse to acknowledge this, all the while professing to
love their county. I’m beginning to believe it’s not the same country you and I
live in. I’m not sure it’s even on the same planet. Bizarro World, maybe? I
wonder if Sen. Warren even listens to the things she says? I doubt it. On a
positive note, I bet speech writing for her is a breeze. I wonder how ones goes
about getting that gig.
Bernie Sanders
should be interesting. He knows he was done dirty by the Democratic National
Party and the Clinton political machine. Will he, unlike Sen. Cruz, come
together for what he believes is the betterment of his party and country? Well, he said it was an honor to be there, several
times and called Sen. Warren a good friend. With friends like that, who needs
enemies.
Now personally,
I like Bernie Sanders. I truly believe him to be the only politician I’ve ever
heard speak I thought actually believed what he was saying. He is or was the
leader of a movement. Of course, he calls it a revolution. Hope not, too much
bloodshed in revolution. Unfortunately, his ideas for a socialist America just
won’t work.
Sure, countries
like Demark can manage it. They have a homogenous (look it up) population all
with similar hopes and goals. It’s easy to get them to work together. And with
a population less than that of the greater Los Angeles area, it can be done.
Now, try to imagine getting all Los Angeles to work together toward any goal,
any! You can’t imagine it happening. If you can’t imagine one city working
together toward a common goal, how do you truly expect all of us to manage it?
It can’t be done.
In Bernie’s
support, I think he believes it can work. That we can make it work. Delusional
maybe, but to me all the Dems seem a bit “out there”. And by out there I mean
totally not functioning in the same reality as the rest of us. And yes, I
always find it easier to take apart Dems than I do Republicans. I think it’s
because whenever the Democrats speak they leave more unasked questions. I find
that makes me nuttier than squirrel poo.
And I secretly suspect the Democratic Party elites think I’m stupid. Of
course, that’s probably just the paranoid voices in my head.
So, in the end
(actually about 13 minutes into his speech) Bernie did in fact, endorse Hillary
Clinton for President. However, just like many Republicans support for “The
Donald”, it’s this candidate or Armageddon. It’s a rigged system, sure. Hillary
Clinton wasn’t going to let another grass roots campaign derail her second bid
for President. She’s had eight years to prepare. I truly believe the only
people who thought the Democratic Parties system for nominating a Presidential
candidate was fair, were Bernie’s supports. Go figure.
As always, that’s just my opinion. You could be
wrong?
