Always on the defense, never the offense.
Always reacting to news, never acting.
That’s what I thought about when I woke up today and checked the news.
Well, there wasn’t much in the news - social media was where all the hoopla was. That's where has-been Dems and never-will-be's currently running for office can get a real 'zinger' in. We all know how effective this is for getting votes.
You see, I guess last night a Montana legislator named Rodney Garcia said all socialists should be shot.
So what?
Who cares?
I’m sorry, but I can’t help but laugh.
For one thing, I know Democrats hate socialists as much as Garcia does.
Right now, establishment Democrats are very, very scared that Bernie will show-up Biden in Iowa and perhaps New Hampshire.
This could prove the death knell for Biden. Historically, if you don’t do well in these early states, you don’t advance much further.
We all know how reflective Iowa and New Hampshire are for American politics.
Yeah...right. Kind of like South Carolina is reflective as well.
Anyways, Bernie’s set to kill it next week and this puts Dems in a huge bind.
Democrats hate Bernie.
Comes down to socialism, which Bernie espouses. Conservative radio continually attacks him for being socialist, and for the idea that he’ll rid America of capitalism and make us a socialist country.
This scares the hell out of the GOP, and Party members like Garcia.
So they come up with some silly story about the Constitution allowing us to shoot socialists.
“Spenser Merwin, the executive director of the Montana Republican Party, said in [sic] statement the party wholeheartedly condemned Garcia's comments.”
Well, of course they do.
Earlier this week, the Missoula GOP had to condemn a video that one member posted showing a song that was a little to politically incorrect for Democrats. I loved the way Lee Enterprises smeared Jesse Ramos with their photo.
The GOP also condemned the video.
It’s important for the GOP in Montana to condemn things like this publically. Privately, they get a good chuckle out of ‘em, and they’re happy such an uproar happened.
Republican voters are not turned off by this stuff. If anything, they get a good chuckle out of it.
Republicans like it when Dems get all crazy in the head. Republicans like it when the Dems are on the defense, reacting instead of acting.
America will never be a socialist country. Sure, we’ll always have lazy people that want handouts from those that work. Most of the time, these people identify as Democrats.
Now, if you want to work...you can make some money.
In fact, you can make bank! We have a monumental worker shortage in this country, mostly because of demographics. Hell, I work just 25 hours a week and made over $3,000 this month.
Here in Missoula, businesses can’t find enough workers.
We still have a lot of bums and junkies walking the streets, however, typically young, able-bodied men.
They could work, but they don’t want to.
Socialism.
I think this country would be in a better place if we took a lot of the bums and junkies off the street and shot them.
This was the only way China was able to overcome its opium crisis, one that lasted over 100 years due to the British and the Americans pushing that drug on those people.
- Of course, if we did that the nonprofits would lose a lot of profits.
- Our private jail and prison system wouldn’t make bank, either.
- Big Pharma might be in a pinch as well.
- And we might even have to get out of Afghanistan (if we don’t have a lot of opium addicts, what do we need the country’s opium crop for?).
So yes, it’s probably good the Montana GOP condemned Garcia’s comments about socialism.
Now, how long before this story blows over?
A couple days? I know Democrats will try to keep it in the news as long as possible.
Always on the defense, never the offense.
Always reacting to news, never acting.
Democrats.
