The Story of a Dictator

This is the story of a Dictator. 

He is overweight.  He has awful hair. 

He admires strength. 

He offers only bluster.

He feels entitled. 

He attended good schools. 

He came away not with education,

But with an enhanced feeling of his own importance. 

He traps himself in a cycle of arrogance.

And ignorance. 

He believes his bloodline makes him great.

He demands loyalty,

Yet offers none. 

He creates days to celebrate himself.

He is illegitimate.

He came power due to cracks in the system,

Not the will of the people.

He is propped up by others,

Created through artificial means.

He antagonizes nations on his border.

He embarrasses even his friends.

He subsists on fear,

And threats.

He purges those who stand in his way.

He survives on threats.

He believes war is strength. 

Be longs to bomb. 

Let me show you this man,

Founders vs. Franers: A History Lesson

We spend a lot of time studying the founders.  Or is it the framers?  Well, we've come to use both terms to describe the same people, but really folks, there's a difference.  And no, this is not a semantic argument, this really matters.  This is history, and it's important to get it right.  Of course it's important to clarify at the outset that we're discussing the people, almost all men, unfortunately, who created America.  The "Founding" depending on how one views it, lasted for between 25 and 50 years.  Without question, it began in 1765 when the British Parliament passed the Stamp Act.  When it ended is a matter for debate, but that's another story.  This is about the people.  Now, who are the founders?  Tough question.  There are literally hundreds, even thousands of them.  Anyone who contributed to the founding is a founder.  Pretty simple right?  Some examples: Anyone who signed the Declaration of ...

A NOTE FROM THE DONALD TRUMP BOOK OF JOKES, IRONY AND SARCASM

Today I read an article (in a Gannet Newspaper), informing us that the Secret Service is closing the sidewalk near the South Lawn of the White House die to increased incidents there, including some with (there words, not mine) "the mentally ill." NOW.... There is a lot I can say...a lot any of us can say.  But, frankly, if the standard the if that's the Secret Service's standard, perhaps they should look into shutting down the White House Residence.  Special Note:  I don't care for Trump.  These posts most of them depressingly humorous will be a recurring series here.

A Note on the Importance of Former Presidents in the Age of Trump

You know, in this time of governmetal insanity I take some confort in knowing that we have several decent living ex-Presidents to remind us what government CAN be. The intellectual internationalism of Carter and Bush 41, the active pragmatism of Clinton and the Progressive optimism of Obama. And even Bush 43 is a monument to decency compared to what we have now. At the very least we have examples to show is that competent government has existed and can exist, during this, ... the most incompetent period in the history of American government. And I am therefore struck with the fact that during the height of Watergate in 1974, there were no living former Presidents. Nixon was it. I don't suppose there's much point to this post, but I find this staggering.  I find it impossible to imagine navigating the Trump's America without having the great living reminder of Obama's, and Clinton's and Carter's and Bush's.  We need these monuments to a bett...
