    FREEDOM OF EXPRESSION

     

    THE FREEDOM OF LIBERTARIANISM?

    DO NOT USE YOUR DEAD CHILDREN TO TRUMP MY CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS!

    Joe the plumber, who was never a licensed plumber, recently said what
    I would have guessed would never be said; thoughts like this would never be said; outright.

    Of course I am surprised every single day lately, at what I witness on the 'media'.

    Trump thinks that the Eight Amendment to the US Constitution is 'nullified'?

    There are so many attacks on Obamacare anyway:

    But in the case of Joe; for this type of personal attack on parents who
    lost their children for chrissakes?

    How mean can we be?

    George Wallace once said:

    I shall never be outniggared again:

    Now 'Joe' of course was never elected to anything. And hopefully never will be.

    But he is paid as a motivational speaker?

    And his audiences are motivated toward what, exactly?

    If I might admit my own sins here:

    I hate Trump, I certainly hate Cruz even more, I hate Marco, I despise 
    all of those repubs who have dropped out of the race, I hate....so many
    repubs....

    I am sorry sometimes for this hatred.

    But damn; to attack the parents of those who have lost their children
    through violence with no fault to be placed upon the parents...

    Hell, everytime Joe makes comments like this, he gets more 'motivational
    fees' for chrissakes.

    Plumber Joe is irrelevant as far as this election cycle goes, of course.

    I just do not feel that George Wallace or Jesse Helms or Strom Thurmand
    would say something this rotten?

    THIS JUST BOTHERED ME.

    How do we ever get through this kind of hatred?

     

     

    We must forgive our enemies?

    But when we see evil incarnate?

    Evil, I suppose is in the eyes of the beholder.

    But to attack the parents of slain little children?

    Maybe we just have no proper lines anymore (as if we ever had proper lines) that should be crossed?

    I am losing all sympathy for the devil.

    There comes a time when we must say:

    THIS IS WRONG!

    Joe the plumber is just a promotional product of the crazy right.  All they have now is hate and more hate. They are all headed to the weeds with this new generation.
