The Only Choice

Really?  This is it?

Wow!  Do I want the mendacious harridan who who wouldn't hesitate to back the car over Jesus if he got in the way of her monstrous ambition, or do I hitch my wagon to the manatee sized blowhard with the My Little Pony comb over? 

Any takers?  I thought not.

 Republican and Democratic conventions are upon us and, at least for me, the choices about to be proffered us are rich with comedy gold.  Certainly neither of the about to be anointed candidates hold much promise for greatness or, for that matter, even competence.  It's almost as if the country ran an ad for "least likely to succeed" and has wound up with these two Jack & Jill clowns.  However you vote, regret is in the wind.  So what do we do?  

I'm inclined to go with The Donald mostly for the entertainment value.  The man is a human cherry bomb and, as far as I'm concerned, that works.   Anything he would like to blow up in D.C. gets a green light from this corespondent.   Even "Slick" Willie Clinton, while promoting the candidacy of his wife--in name only--  Hillary, told a crowd recently that "it's time to put the awful legacy of the last eight years behind us."   I'm with ya Bill.  It seems as if he not only forgot he's officially married to her but that she is a major participant in the "awful legacy". She is the candidate who promises more of the same.  She is one of the phony "we know what's good for you" liberal a-hole central planner, socialist, big government  loons who should pack for Europe where they can freely enjoy the globalization, environmental stewardship and social equity they love to blather on about.  Most of us have had enough of their whining ruling class bullshit and would gladly help them pack.
Memo to all current administration bureaucrats:  Get out and stay out!  And take Nancy Pelosi with you!

In the words of the great American, P.J. O'Rourke, "Giving money and power to government is like giving whiskey and car keys to teenage boys."  As one who is a lifelong case of arrested adolescence and former drinker of whiskey, I would like to go on record as saying it's time to turn the keys to the country over to The Donald.  Eight years of the smug moral contempt and elite condescension of the Obama administration is enough.  We don't need another minute, let alone four years, of politicians taking our money and telling us we're too dumb to know what's good for us.  Let's light the fuse on the free market capitalist cherry bomb that is Donald Trump and begin to jump start this once great country.

In the words of Steve Forbes, "If you could legislate prosperity, the Soviet Union would have won the cold war."  Hard work is the father of prosperity, not government programs.  And, while we're at it, it couldn't hurt to elect someone willing to call Islamic terrorism by name and begin the long and arduous task of doing whatever it takes to rid the earth of its moral rot.  Trump may not be a Reagan, but at least he's not a politician and that's good enough for me.
