Hypocrisy Is Not Lost on Me

Politics 101?

The last thing I ever want to spend my precious time on this earth is on politics. Correction! The last thing I want to spend my time is fighting the culture wars in America. I see what people say on Twitter and Facebook. It’s emotionally draining and discouraging to see that everyone loves America so much so that the only way to show it is through the most vitriol and abusive language available to make their point clear that the “other side” is a threat to your existence. Gone are the days where two political adversaries on opposite sides of the spectrum could disagree and then go drinking afterwards. I’m talking about two cold blooded Irish Americans – Ronald Reagan and Tip O’Neill. They hated each other’s agendas and viewed each as a threat to American Citizens. The White House wanted to cut domestic spending, including Social Security. O’Neill wanted to safeguard entitlement programs and reverse some of Reagan’s tax cuts for the rich. Somehow these opposing forces found some commonality and worked from the center as opposed to the fringe.

More Guns!

Guns! This is the playground of the Second Amendment. I don’t know how many times it needs to be said, but “The only way to stop a bad guy with a gun is a good guy with a gun.” Interestingly enough, the good guys are nowhere to be found when there is an active shooter. Even when there is a good guy with a gun during an active shooter, they take up defensive positions outside of the building while countless children are being massacred inside the building.

More Cowbell!

In spite of all the senseless violence in America, the only solution is to amp up the volume to deafening levels so nobody can hear what anyone is saying. The only thing we have done since Sandy Hook is leave the door open for more senseless violence. One of the greatest comedians of all time, George Carlin said it best, “A lot of the people who keep a gun at home for safety are the same ones who refuse to wear a seat belt.”

Christian Terrorist, Trans Hormones?!

Enter MTG! It’s good to know in America that the craziest unhinged people can still command an audience. It’s incredible to me how I’m actually drawn to this craziness. There’s no denying that Marjorie Taylor Green, a staunch supporter of Donald Trump has grabbed power in DC. She most recently sat down for a 60 Minutes interview, continued her defiant stance, and inserted herself into mainstream America. So many people are so focussed on defeating her that all efforts are only helping her consolidate her power in DC. It’s beyond my comprehension that the moral compass of America is pointed true north by these carnival barkers.

GTFO!

Kid Rock brings it all home with a gun and a tirade against Bud Light for supporting the Trans community. Hollywood couldn’t write a better script. This clown sets up a few cases of Bud Light and shoots them up (missing most of them). I believe he was angry that Bud Light has partnered with a woman who is a transgender influencer. Why can’t he just drink the bud light out of a can that doesn’t include references/images to transgender people. This way there won’t be any confusion over which bud light he is drinking from. Back in the good ‘ole days, there used to be fountains that said, Whites Only so black people wouldn’t drink from the same water fountains as white people. Perhaps, offering a non-gendered bud light could solve this issue and save a whole bunch of bullets.
