Principles? All I hear from you pearl clutching NeverTrumps is bashing based on sophistry and bullshit. I actually own a business. I and other business owners have been dumped on for the last 8 years to the point that I and some of my compatriots in the area had to let people go, had the govt up our ass for stupid shit and just getting affordable healthcare for our own families has become a dream. Now there is a new President doing better things for us right off the bat and I have nattering nebobs of negativism spamming the boards with high minded bullshit that defies the real world. Under your warped rubric Reagan would be considered a Lib Rat.
Here's a tip Jackson. Get out of your mother's basement, get a real job and grow the eff up.
Now Frank, that hurts just a tad.
I mean, YOU are one person I actually look forward to reading and seeing here.
Your posts cause me to giggle and snort quite often.
So…. as a nattering nabob of negativism (which I freely admit), I shall strive to be more positive in my criticisms of they who shit on the Constitution and deign to act via pens and phones, even if it is their self-appointed spokespeoples who tie themselves up in knots to explain their good intentions.
I too owned a business, 30 years at that - and the last 8 have put a virtual nail in it's coffin. So I understand all about being pissed off when the Alphabets and Doo Gooders from the vaunted realm of 'Public Service" decide they know what is best for us "rich white people" in terms of sharing our wealth and spreading it around and preaching that my breath and love of ribeye steak is causing Global Warming.
I mean, what a joy it is to witness our tax dollars being spent by 300 lb racist morons in spandex at Walmart with their broods of chillrens' from various baby daddies all in Air Jordans and texting on their latest iPhones with shopping carts full of soda and beef jerky using EBT cards to pay for it all. I marvel at the same folks tearing through the parking lot at 50 MPH in their new SUVs vibrating the asphalt with the latest Rap jam with the tricked out wheels all lit up with neon, while I load a few sacks of vittles and a 50lb bag of chow for the ravenous German Sheperd into my 2004 Hyundai Elantra with 160K miles. I do so enjoy hearing the screech of tires and the smell of burning rubber as they peel out onto the road to get to their spacious Section 8 Townhouses.
And them is the legal ones not South of the border.
What the hell does that have to do with me being a nattering nabob of negativity?
Not a damn thing - but Trump did say in his inaugural that my pain is your pain, so I thought I would share.
And yes, you can call me the King of run-on sentences, on top of whatever other adjectives you can think of.
Just keep them funny.
As to myself regarding Reagan as a Lib Rat - I take umbrage and exception to that accusation dear sir! If there is a sin that I have much difficulty overcoming, it is the near-idolatry I hold of Reagan's Conservatism.
But Trump is no Reagan, and I do not expect Trump to even touch his shadow in terms of the principles he articulated and governed by.
But just do realize I am one of your biggest fans here - so it does hurt when you disparage me so.
I imagine this is just how Crispie Creme Christie felt when he learned Billy Joel dissed him publicly.
Ouch.
I'll go weep quietly inside my being now.
Thank you for the rebuke. I'll try to be more positive in my bashing of our politicians from Mom's basement.
I have her stuffed in her rocker next to the furnace so she doesn't mind my sobs.
