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:
