Republicans Are Weird, And Democrats Are Sick
Derek Hunter
Man, those Republicans are weirdos, aren’t they? I know this because literally every leftist in the media suddenly discovered the word and burped it up over the last week like it was an original thought that just occurred to them. But it wasn’t. Nor were any orders given or talking points circulated – the hive mind doesn’t need to receive orders; it just knows. One leftist labeled Republicans weird, and everyone ran with it. I have no problem with the label; I’ve been happily “weird” my whole life. What I’m not is a sick SOB, like Democrats are.
A note on the hive mind first. Remember, back in 2000, when then-Governor George W. Bush picked Dick Cheney as his running mate, the leftist media immediately declared the choice was made for one very specific reason. The reason was a very specific word, one they’d not really used before but one they would do on to use repeatedly in the days following the choice; that word was “gravitas.” The great Rush Limbaugh (how much are we missing him now? Nothing has come close to filling that void.) put together this montage of left-wing media figures and outlets repeating that word.
Liberals have done the same with the word “weird.”
I’m not sure how weird it is supposed to be an insult. I’ve been considered “weird” my whole life and never really cared when anyone said it. Dressing out of a Salvation Army, buzzing hair everywhere but my bangs, which were down to my chin, listening to music that never stood a chance of charting, no interest in anything popular, etc. Oddballs, and happily so. Hype was repugnant to me and my friends – tell us what “everyone loves” and we’re not interested.
