It’s not
that Liberals are stupid; it’s that they know so much that isn’t true.
I heard that
phrase years ago and wrote it down. I’m not sure I remember who first said it –
but I’m pretty sure it was Ronald Reagan. He said a lot of clever things, such
as: Government is not the solution to our problems; government is the problem.
He also said, The most terrifying words in the English language are I’m from
the government and I’m here to help.
Clearly
President Reagan had a clear eye for
government.
Quite
different from what we’re dealing with now. This chump simply cannot see a
limit to government. He reminds me of the narcissistic king of fiction who wore
no clothes, in the belief that the clothes could not be seen by people unfit
for office or were just stupid. Consequently, so as not to be thought unfit or
dumb, everyone in the populace said they could see the king’s threads. He
paraded around in his “new clothes”, and was heartily admired by all. Until
some kid said, Hey, he ain’t wearing nothing! The pretense of wearing such
finery was of course smashed, but the king continued strutting about in his
birthday suit, as though nothing had happened.
It’s sort of
like it is now, isn’t it? There’s this president strutting about (although in
the $3,000 Italian silk suit), changing this law and that, and there are all of
these people admiring him as he struts, while pretending they’re not stupid and
unfit. It’s like, Wow! If the guy’s wearing an expensive suit, we’d have to be
stupid for not admiring him. It’s
like the same kid that bared the ass of the vain king, yelled, Hey, BO’s
wearing a really nice suit! And everybody thinks, Wow, ain’t BO great?
The bottom
line in Hans Christian Anderson’s fable is, once you weed through all the cute
stuff about the bare-assed king and everyone saying they see his clothes to
keep from being thought dumb and unfit, is whether the admired person, be he
king or president, has achieved anything of value.
What do you
think? We don’t know whether the narcissist king achieved anything good for his
people. But we do know that the narcissist president has cobbled up a country
that was doing pretty well at the task of provided for more than 300 million
people, many of whom have no business being here – and the narcissist wants to
invite in even more.
Maybe the
real bottom line of all this is whether government has any value. Certainly not
at the level currently in place. The least the better.
As your next
president, let me say this about that. Hide your guns and buy lots of
ammunition. As soon as you see a bigger, uglier government looming on the
horizon, start shooting and don’t stop until the “king” is running around
bare-assed! If you’re Liberal, you will of course be obligated to think the
king has his ass covered. If you’re Conservative, you are of course smarter and
you know better.
