We all know about April Fools’ Day, which is rapidly approaching. Maybe we need to establish a March Fools’ Day for Super Tuesday. The foolish are still voting for Trump. I have to believe these are the same types of people that used to worship at the feet of Obama. He was going to bring hope and change. Trump is also using the word change.
Like Obama, the change that will come from Bernie, Hillary or Donald will not be the change people have in mind. Each one will increase the size of government and suck the life out of the economy. They, of course, will continue to live in luxury and comfort but the masses will be forced to stand in line for bread and fill out endless forms to be checked by government flunkies who could never survive in a world based on work and talent.
I saw the difference years ago when I took a train from the American style freedom of West Germany across socialist East Germany to Berlin. I remember how, in the Communist part of Germany, the armed guards on each train platform made sure that no one got on or off the train that did not have government permission. I remember the dogs and their handlers checking under each car for people trying to get away from socialism. I remember the island of freedom in West Berlin full of color and life and the drab grey of East Berlin.
I remember but the fools of today don’t.
There is a reason to study history. There is a reason why modern educators don’t want you to.
I dread a November Fools’ Day

If you really think the alternatives are any better, then I'll gladly be "the fool."
ReplyDeleteAs I will say today I think Cruz is the real article. I am sure he has his flaws and would make mistakes but I think he has been consistent and can only hope he will remain that way.
DeleteOf course that may make him unelectable but the string of Rinos we have been running were also unelectable.
Grace and peace.
America is so in love with socialism that I'm not sure ANY republican is electable.
ReplyDeleteWhich brings us back to the statement that people get the government they deserve. Remember Romney's 47%. The more that are on the dole the easier it is to control the rest of us.
DeleteI still think Cruz offers some hope, at least for the office of president, but if we keep wanting our handouts and electing the people to congress that get them for us you will be a prophet.
Grace and peace.
