Short Blog - Long Foot Note

I saw this headline on one of the internet websites where I scan the headlines to see if something catches my interest. I was interested but never got to read the story because I forgot which website had it listed. The general idea was that Republicans are currently divided philosophy while the Democrats are divided by sex and race.

I started to actually laugh when I read that and thought about what it was saying. Republicans, from the party of the conservatives who are regularly portrayed as mean, heart-less, don't-care-about-the-little-guy racists and sexists, are involved in a great debate about philosophies and ideas. The Democrats, from the party of the "progressives"* who are supposed to be so open-minded and free from all of the evil "-isms", are battling because of sex and race. I am actually audibly laughing at the irony of the situation. This is going to be fun to watch.

Like I have said, political races are my second favorite spectator sport.


* - Progressives. Otherwise known as liberals. My apologies to Bill Shakespeare but a liberal by any other name, especially progressive, is merely ashamed of who he/she is or playing with terminolgy to fool others. It is funny to see how proud conservatives are to be conservative but many liberals are not so willing to call themselves liberal.

So what does a liberal do when he is ashamed to be called a liberal? He does the time honored liberal tradition, he gives it a new name. Just like someone who has a handicap is no longer handicapped, they are physically challenged. A garbage man is no longer a garbage man, he is a waste engineer. Even blind and deaf people are now visually and audibly impaired. And now, a liberal is a "progressive." The first thing I think of when I hear someone call themself progressive is our "progressive tax system." By its very nature, a progressive tax system is regressive. It forcibly takes money from achievers and gives it to non-achievers. I will stop there before I get on a rant about our tax system. let me just encourage you to check out the web link I have up that says No More IRS.

Another thing that progressive is that in the name of progress these people and politicians promote ideas and concepts that tear at the very foundations of traditional American values. I recently read where New York teachers were told to stop using the term "Mom and Dad" and they should use the term parents. This was so children of homosexual couples would not be confused. Excuse me while I rant, GIVE ME A BREAK!!! Children of a traditional family merely need to be told that there are some families where there are 2 mommies or 2 daddies and children of homosexual couples can simply be told that most families have 1 mommy and 1 daddy. There, that solves that stupidity.

Breathe in, breathe out. Breathe in, breathe out. Okay. Now, I have settled down.

I could and should go on but this is a subject that gets me riled fairly easily. I have heard politicians and some for the general public talk about redefining themselves. Liberals seem to have made an art form of it.

Keep Smilin'!!
