STUPIDITY RAINS

Lately I have been drowning in stupidity. A parade in cancelled in Portland, Oregon due to the threat of violence against the apparently unwelcome scheduled participation of some Republicans.  I blame the stupidity of the parade sponsors and the city who are folding to these anonymous threats. An appearance by the brilliant and wickedly funny Ann Coulter is cancelled at the University of California - Berkeley due to the threat of violence. I blame the cancellation on the stupidity of the college administrators who are too cowardly and too weak to protect an invited speaker and the students who would like to attend the speech. Berkeley is the birthplace of the free speech movement in the 1960's?  Maybe it was. Apparently it is the birthplace and the deathbed. Liberal lefty lunatics are attacking Trump's new tax cuts as it will mostly benefit 'the rich' including Donald Trump. Yes, it is true, tax cuts will benefit Donald Trump. You know why? Because he is part of an increasingly smaller and smaller subgroup of Americans who actually pay federal income taxes. Sure, if you pay no taxes, I understand why a tax cut may not be interesting. I blame the media who focus on how a tax cut would personally affect Trump. Why should anyone care about this? The media are counting on the stupidity of the American people to find this a problem worthy of debate. After nearly two  generations have been brainwashed in schools from Kindergarten through College and have been molded into perfect snowflakes - they buy into this stupidity without question.

When the Democrats in Congress spearheaded the partial government takeover of our healthcare system, aka, Obamacare, aka Affordable Care Act - did they do this simply to benefit themselves, in the same way that Trump's tax cuts will benefit him?  Uh, no....in fact, they exempted themselves! Our representatives in Congress wanted no part of this particular abomination. Stupidity may rule in Washington - but Congress was not that stupid to subject themselves to Obamacare. Ok, so that was a bad example.

We are in a civil war. We are only 100 days into this administration and liberals are absolutely going nuts, except how they are going nuts with the threat of violence thrown into the mix. Our country is in trouble. Stupidity Rains.  check that...Stupidity Reigns.

Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former. Albert Einstein

On the way to Bowling Green, Kentucky, I made a 30 minute detour just to go to the Visitors Center at Mammoth Caves National Park which was just 20 miles away from my destination. I know now that I definitely want to return to this place and actually see the caves. My 'hike' was a grand total of .39 miles, I expect to hike a bit more the next time I visit.

SINCERE IGNORANCE AND CONSCIENTIOUS STUPIDITY

I have been thinking about the left lately. Why are they acting so crazy? I was thinking about the expression that goes something like: There is nothing more dangerous than a wounded animal. The Democrats, the democratic party, the left has been badly wounded in the wake of 8 years of our previous president. Our young, good-looking leader maintained his popularity over eight years even though virtually every time that voters had a chance to express their opinions about his actual policies they overwhelmingly rejected them. The Democrat party has been wiped out of state legislatures, the Democrat party has been greatly reduced in the number of governorships, and they lost their majority in the Senate and the House of Representatives under the leadership of the 44th President of the United States. They are mad. And the definition of mad that I am using is the one that is more associated with crazy rather than angry - although both work. I found this quote (below) from Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. which expresses how I think about my political opponents. Surely they think  the same of me. And that's where we are in America today. Each side thinks the other side is ignorant and dangerous. It is hard to see how this ends amicably. The last Civil War in the United States ended after much bloodshed. Are we better than those Americans?  Are we smarter than those Americans who needed a war and military defeat and military victory to settle differences? I see little evidence that that is the case.
