So many lies, so little time

Kristi, Apollo, and I returned from a two week trip to the Pacific Northwest. We visited Renee and Evan and took in some baseball games. Together, over the course of the summer, we logged 4,000 miles on the road and passed through 19 states. We had a chance to visit Baltimore after the riots, Oklahoma and Texas during the floods, and California during the drought and wild fires.

Driving down the highways, I took the time to reflect on all of the absurd things going on in America. Somehow we rational Americans are to believe the most asinine things. We are offered so many stupid ideas that are false. Our leaders and would-be leaders actually expect us to accept things we know to be false. The list of lies and untruths is almost endless.

We liked our health insurance in 2014. It was cancelled late last year. What we were offered was crap. We were lied to by Mr. Obama. He knew he was lying when he lied. He got away with it. John Roberts and his accomplices on the Supreme Court rubber-stamped lying and defecated on what was left of the constitution in June. Words have no meaning.

There were 43 murders in Baltimore in July. The killings were mostly black-on-black homicides. Still we are to believe, according to the news media, that the police are to blame for these killings. We are also to believe that black "activists" think all “black lives matter.” Black Lives Matter protesters select isolated incidents and often try to change the facts related to those incidents (Ferguson). They want to have us to somehow believe that white cops are the problem. Democrats go along with this crap because they eat intellectual crap for breakfast daily. What matters to black activists is the endless search for an excuse to yell, destroy property, and loot.

Two “black lives matter” protesters actually disrupted and cancelled a Bernie Sanders rally in Seattle the day before we arrived there. It was comical. The terminally flaccid Sanders stepped aside and surrendered his microphone to rude people. He left the throng that had paid with their time and money to gather and hear about all of the virtues of Marxism. Bernie left them to instead listen to illiterates scream about racism. I wondered where these protesters hang out when the most powerful man on the planet shows up to make a speech. Somehow the news media continues to ignore the irony that we have a black president for all the black lives that "matter."

If you follow all of the disruptions to freedom of speech in Seattle and at college campuses all over the nation, you have to wonder whatever happened to the Democrats, the ACLU, and the defenders of the 1^st Amendment. Democrats used to defend the constitution and freedom of speech. Now they accommodate fascism. It is the opposite of what should be. They are lost.

Speaking of surrendering; Obama’s astonishing surrender to Iran was rejected by many Democrats including Chuck Schumer. Before Schumer gave a thumbs down to Obama’s attempt to throw Israel under the ayatollah’s bus, the Appeaser in Chief defended his cowardice by accusing Republicans of playing politics with his non-treaty…..treaty. According to Obama we are to believe people who routinely chant, “Death to America” deserve the benefit of the doubt. No doubt a man of the "world" like Obama thinks the phrase “Death to America” does not really apply to him. He is probably right about that.

When you travel to the east and west coasts of America you realize that there are major population centers all over the country where uninformed stooges willingly swallow intellectual feces. Tens of millions of Americans wake up every day and watch Hillary Clinton pile lies on top of lies. She lies because she thinks every rule and law that applies to every other person in government, somehow does not apply to her. 

We see an American news media (except Fox) contort itself in an effort to turn her ridiculous explanations regarding criminal behaviors that would get others indicted and serving jail time, into one of two sides of a political argument. Hillary should be indicted for crimes against America......period.

Finally, we see this country largely ignore a truly accomplished African American, Dr. Ben Carson. Carson somehow goes pretty much ignored, while the Barnum and Bailey buffoon (Donald Trump) captures the attention of the media (including Fox).

The contrast is stark. Carson worked his way up the ladder in our country the hard way. Trump, who inherited several hundred income producing properties from his daddy while diddling a series of trophy wives, has somehow managed to convince GOP voters his blunt talk and nasty attacks on people who dare to challenge him, has made him what he is......a self-made man.

So there you have it. Democrats know so many things that are not true, embrace absurd lies, and repeat them every day. And far too many Republicans think Donald Trump’s con game is the answer to our problems.

Off the road and back home I pray for America to take a close look at people like Ben Carson and Marco Rubio. We are in deep do-do. The public education-trained news media is a big part of the problem. Time is short and the idea that one of America’s crime families (team Clinton) could be back in the White House is too much to contemplate.
