Get off your high horse or put a name to the political creature that was also running for President that was any better.
Remember what I wrote earlier: I voted "None of These Candidates" on the ballot line for the White
House. Why would I do so
unless I found none of them to be worthy of holding the office? I
said it often enough during the campaign and on Election Day. Which part of "None of These Candidates"
was
that difficult for someone to comprehend?
Well,yeah,you can say that IF you are happy about allowing your per-conceived opinions based on absolutely no evidence whatsoever other than brain farts to rule your intellect.
Spoken like someone who paid little to no attention to the man, his sayings, or his known doings prior
to running for the White House. Put to one side his character issues, focus on him as a candidate and
then a president-elect, and then ask yourself why on earth you would be anything less than wary about
a man who's given
no indication that he favours arresting or turning back the metastasis of
the State (we haven't had a properly construed
government in a very long time), or that he favours
a genuinely free market
as opposed to a crony capitalist one, or that he believes in individual rights and
sovereignty to any degree.
Bad enough we've just survived a presidential election highlighted by some of the worst candidates for the
office of which our history has record. Worse is the suggestion that the winner is or ought to be immune
from skepticism or criticism at any point after he was elected. Especially since he hasn't exactly waited until
assuming the formal oath of office to "do things" too many of which can be called at minimum dubious. The
good news has been that some of his prospective cabinet appointments (especially those not named Jeff
Sessions) get it. The bad news is that his very disposition disinclines toward accepting counsel he simply
doesn't like.
Gary Johnson---the Libertarian Party presidential candidate who wasn't exactly
that much of a libertarian
(if anything, a deeper look suggested he was closer to a vintage style Rockefeller Republican)---at least
said and seemed to mean, "I'm not running for
king." Donaldus Minimus may not have phrased it
in quite such words, but his every move suggested he was indeed running for king. A man running for
king, literally or figuratively, doesn't always comprehend that not every damn last matter of life requires
a political or a governmental decision or solution. A man running for king, literally or figuratively, doesn't
get that the vast majority of such matters are decided best and left in the hands of individual citizens.
Donaldus Minimus thinks he's out to make America great again. I'd have preferred a candidate who
preferred to do whatever a president can do within reasonable constitutional means (ask yourself if
Donaldus Minimus
really understands reasonable constitutional means) to make America
Americaagain. Seeing no such candidate, really, I voted "None of These Candidates." And I'd vote that way
again right now if an election were to be held and a similar offering of candidates was presented.
