The Low-Information Voter Manifesto


 

In honor of the newest voting block seen in these United States, it stands to reason that they should create their very own Manifesto:

 We hereby state, as the intentionally low-information voting block:


 
A)    We do not believe that Barack Obama is the legitimate President of the United States. He is a secret Muslim, working on an agenda that only he knows.

B)    Donald Trump, although flawed as a candidate, is someone worthy of the highest office. He is a secret Man of the People.

C)    We believe  Justice Anthony Scalia was somehow mysteriously murdered.

D)    We don’t believe in Polling Data

E)     We don’t believe in Scientific Data.

F)     We don’t believe in Data, analysis, or statistics of any kind. Except that which Fox News or Bill O’Reilly happens to mention on any given night.

G)    We are not a fan of facts.

H)    We are not history buffs.

I)       We like Reality TV shows.

J)       We like Reality TV stars that run for President.

K)    We believe the Supreme Court is fixed.

L)     Walls are good. Wall Street is bad; Congress is bad; Free trade is bad. Someone powerful needs to fix it. We don’t really care how they do it.

M)   We don’t believe in bigots or Black Lives Matter or racial injustice or discrimination of any kind. Unless it’s discrimination directed at the white working class or Christianity in general.

N)    Liberals are idiots. The main-stream media lies. The Press is evil. Climate change is a hoax. Scientists are idiots.

O)    All Politicians Lie. But Hillary is the worst liar of all.

P)     The unemployment rate in reality is somewhere between 10 and 25%.

Q)    The Economy is in horrible shape and our borders are being overrun by Mexicans.

R)    Common Core, whatever that is, is horrifically bad.

S)     We believe in States Rights; that Lincoln was a sniveling coward, and Slavery had nothing to do with the Civil War.

T)     Don’t believe anything you read. Don’t believe anything on television that is not on Fox News. Don’t believe in anything a Professor or graduate of Harvard University says.

U)    The Moon Landing was a hoax, and aliens have landed somewhere.

V)    Dr. Strangelove was not a comedy. Jews control Hollywood, but it’s okay to like the ones that live in Israel.
 

 ***Did I miss something? Here it is, the platform for the new Donald Trump-ified version of the Reform Party, once known as the Grand Old Party. Read it and weep. No, really, read it and then weep. Loudly.

Hillary and the Man in the Arena

From the standpoint of one who voted for and endorsed Barack Obama over Hillary Clinton, there seems to be a question hanging in the air. How could someone who opposed the Clintonian dynasty support Hillary’s bid for the Presidency? Isn’t it a bit hypocritical? Or at least inconsistent with the view previously taken? This is true for many supporters of Obama. Some on the left cannot support her bid for President.They see many of her acknowledged flaws and conclude she cannot be a viable option. My view comes from watching her over the course of the past eight years, four as the Secretary of State within this Administration. And having watched the two debate in 2008- Obama vs. Hillary- there can be little question that the divide that separates them on most issues is a small one. Theirs is a centrist left view of the world. On Foreign Policy, I daresay that Hillary would never have worked for Obama had she held wildly opposing views from his own world view. But the...

The Looming Tower is before us...

    The Looming Tower is the famous title of the book written about 9/11. Lots of reflections have taken place since that book was released.   What we have gained and what we lost has been reflected upon in great detail as we marked the 20 th Anniversary of 9/11 in this country.   The type of things we value were on display. Law enforcement heroes and firefighters who showed courage in the face of looming disaster were remembered and honored. The heroes of the doomed Pennsylvania flight who chose to take the plane down rather than allow the evil hijackers to assault the government were praised and lauded.   What we cherish was on full display.   How we learned to grieve is part of our legacy. The long road back to restore the pride of our New York skyline was another tale.   We even debated, in the tradition of Americans, how to remember the Towers and the legacy that they left to us. It was also a stark reminder of why we went to fight...

What hath We Wrought?

If someone waking from a deep freeze just saw that tape where Trump was bragging off the record about the way he treated women, grabbing them by the crotch because they "let you do it", it would seem that so many red flags are raised that they would immediately conclude it as disqualifying for any candidate for higher office. It goes without saying that women are not objects, or something lesser to be grabbed and treated as toys or groped simply because someone believes themselves immune from the rules of polite society, an ethical code of conduct or common human decency. It was obvious that Trump couldn't handle even the small amount of power that is bestowed on a Hollywood TV Reality star. Why would anyone think that this person could handle the immense power and pressure that the highest office in the land entails? That does say something about the voters. Voters didn't vote simply for change, they voted for the strong man who didn't just fall to the top...
