those in fear: ‘socialism is the problem’

Imag­ine sit­ting in your dark Lon­don house 

dur­ing the Blitz,

and your neigh­bor turns his lights on, 

be­cause

“it’s his right.”

word of the day:

anti-masker     ad­jec­tive
an-ti-ma-sker

vari­ants: or less com­mon­ly antimasker
de­f­i­n­i­tion: Thought­less, self­ish, hu­man be­ings dumb­er than a bag of hammers
first known use of anti-masker: 2020, in the mean­ing de­fined above

 

Dear Anti-maskers,
Here. Now you can be a real card car­ry­ing protester:

 

ques­tion:
Is it just me or are most of the states want­i­ng to re-open, red states?

I’ve no­ticed many posts and peo­ple want­i­ng to open ear­ly talk­ing about those that don’t want to open “liv­ing in fear.”

The open­ers say they have noth­ing to fear and it is their right,
“To do what they want.”

It seems to me that are the same states and peo­ple ter­ri­fied of Mus­lims, Blacks, His­pan­ics, im­mi­grants, ho­mo­sex­u­als, etc., etc., who be­lieve it is their right,

“to do what they want.”

Is it just me or does there seem to be a dis­con­nect here?

 

Con­ser­v­a­tives are the fa­ther in a family.

Lib­er­als are the moth­er in a family.

And we’re the kids look­ing for for safe­ty and di­rec­tion in our lives.

Win­ter is ap­proach­ing and the moth­er says to the fa­ther, “The kids need new jackets.”

“The old ones are just fine,” says the father.

“But they are thread bear and have holes in them and are no longer waterproof.”

“They’ll just have to make do. New ones are too ex­pen­sive we can’t af­ford it.”

“Why? You make re­al­ly good mon­ey why can’t we af­ford them?”

“Be­cause I said so.”

“But they need new jackets.”

“I said no.”

Does this sce­nario sound fa­mil­iar? Re­minds me of grow­ing up as a kid Dad al­ways said no be­cause it was eas­i­er to say no, he was al­ways wor­ried about nev­er hav­ing enough money.

Dif­fer­ent scenario:

Mom, “Win­ter’s com­ing the kids need new jackets.”

Dad, “You’re right they do, let’s see if we can fig­ure out to­geth­er how we can af­ford them.”

Mom, “Well, I could cut back on a cou­ple of things.”

Dad, “Yes and I I can ask for a raise. I’m due for one.”

This is how con­ser­v­a­tives and lib­er­als can work to­geth­er. By re­al­iz­ing it takes two to solve a problem.

 

Here, close your eyes and take a 28 min break:
