Opus 2024-315: Hold My Beer

You have all seen those meme posters of somebody making a bold claim and then the next panel has somebody saying “Hold my beer”.  I think we need someone to tell the federal government not only to hold my beer but take theirs back to Washington DC.  Maybe they could go into some dark room and start plotting the overthrow of the Republic instead.  Actually that should be to continue plotting the overthrow of the Republic.  Notice I didn’t say government because they already control the government, what they are after is the Republic.

I think the best way to deal with the catastrophe in Asheville is for the feds to go home.  Get out of the way with your regulations and egos and let the people below the Mason-Dixon line get on with the business of rescuing their neighbors.  I think we would even allow citizens from above the line to help out as long as they don’t identify as a government employee.  Keep in mind that Washington DC is below that line.

I think that the ingenuity and creativity and entrepreneurship of the American people is more than able to deal with this tragedy.  There are people even from Texas that are packing up and heading out to help.  Some are sent by their companies.  Some are going on their own.  Picture if you had access to some kind of tractor, a chainsaw, a few shovels and, of course, a bunch of Jerry cans to load with fuel.  By this time, not only would you be in Asheville, but you would have already cleared out miles of road and freed up people who had been trapped in their homes.  That is assuming that you could get past the roadblocks of the federal government and the local sheriff trying to arrest you for riding to the rescue.

We are not subjects of the Soviet government, at least not yet.  We are not the kind of people who sit in our basements, cowering, afraid that the government is going to come along and take over our lives.  We’re not worried about being recruited into work gangs to go and clear out masses of mud with our bare hands while armed guards stand over us.  We are Americans.  Because, as a general rule, we tend to be more wealthy than even the rich people of other countries we have access to resources.  Not only do we have access to resources but we have the inner attitude of can-do.

By this time, if the federal government and their cronies in local law-enforcement had gotten out of the way, much of the real tragedy would’ve taken been taken care of.  Many more people would have been rescued.  Food would be piling up to be distributed and the piles would stay manageable because people would keep distributing it.  No one would be running on ego power.  Americans would be helping Americans.  It wouldn’t matter that FEMA spent all the money earmarked for emergency relief on illegal aliens and moving them around the country.  People would laugh at the $750 check that Kamala offered.  Actually, I think they are already laughing at that.  They may take the money and if there’s a bank open actually cash it.  At the same time they will be laughing all the way to the bank.

And I hope that in November they remember to vote their paycheck, or the insult of their paycheck.
