When You Don't Have an Argument

Yesterday I was on Instagram looking at some conservative posts, when I saw one from trump_media_outlet. It was a cartoon of what looked like a control panel with several buttons on it. The buttons said things like evidence, truth, hard data, test, facts and other things like that. There was a large red one in the middle that had a finger pressing down on it that read, "call him a racist." This was aimed at folks that have no argument other than that. The dreaded "R" word. You know the one I mean, the one that has lost all it's meaning over the last seven years.

Now here's what I don't get. Donald Trump has called for the closure of our borders to Muslims while the world is suffering another round of terrorist bombs going off. So how does that mean he racists against folks here? He wants to keep out potential problems to make YOU safer. I haven't heard him call for the mass deportation of Muslims. Unless, of course, they happen to be here illegally. But with what is happening in the Middle East and Europe right now, he may have a point.

There were only two comment to this post, even though there were 139 "likes". One was for the post and the other was obviously against it. The one against was a two word response, "f--k you." Proving the point that when you have no argument, you revert to this type of behavior. Didn't this person realize this? Obviously not.

I wont mention this person's online name, that would be indiscrete. But I did look at his page. A bunch of hip hop guys, I think. I did recognize Snoop, maybe Lil Wayne, not the others. Not my taste in music. But in his bio it did mention something about kush. Even as an old man I know that to be a euphemism for marijuana. So now the Snoop Dog pic makes a bit more sense. As well as his response. I think the author of that statement may have gone one toke over the line.

So if this young man wants to explain his position on why he thinks The Donald is a racist, I'm willing to  listen. After all, this is America and this person has a right to his opinion. I want him to, because I want to have mine.

And as Confucius is reported to have once said, "It is better to be thought a fool, than to open your mouth and remove all doubt."

Brussels Bombed Obama at a Ballgame

Yesterday Brussels was bombed by the radicalized "religion of peace" killing over 30 and wounding scores more. Of course this is retaliation for the Belgian police capturing the Paris bomber who got away four months ago. These ISIS cowards slaughter the innocent in the name of religion. What a joke.

Of course our president was on his tour of the communist portion of the Caribbean, visiting Cuba and cozying up to the Castro's. So instead of cutting his trip short and coming home, Mr. Obama goes to a ballgame with Cuban Dictator Raul Castro. I saw a photo of them doing the wave together. What a disgrace. Once again, I'm embarrassed that this man is the president of my country.

Belgium in a member of NATO, as is the United States. If memory serves me correctly, an attack on any NATO country is an attack on all. In these times, an attack by the scourge known as ISIS in a NATO country demands a response by all member nations.

I understand that America needs to lead the way. We have by far have the largest military, the most powerful military and the most money. I'm good with all of that. What we need is a Commander in Chief that has the testicular fortitude to act. Barack Obama is not it.

I would bet a large sum of money that the Joint Chiefs have a plan that would destroy ISIS. If not destroy, then at least make it so they might think twice about another terrorist attack. This would suffice. ISIS needs to be afraid of us. They need to know that if another bomb goes off, we will rain an unimaginable type of hell upon them. This drone strike hear and there is obviously not cutting it.

Then there is the perception of standing by our allies. After the Charlie Hebdo attacks in Paris, leaders from all over went to Paris. Not Barack Hussein Obama. He sent someone else instead. I wonder of it was the same person he sent to the funerals of criminals here in the States. I don't remember Mr. Obama going to France after the attacks in November, 2015 and I doubt he'll make to anything that is planned to remember the dead and wounded in this attack.

I can't wait for January of next year so we can be rid of this Pretender in Chief.
