Another epic rant from Ron.
Ron on.
Tiring more and more each day from the “Resistance”’s religious fervor that Mueller is their Joshua who will tear down the walls of Trump Tower and cart DJT away on a wooden donkey cart in a pillory to be crucified on a mountain of hypocrisy on some hill safely away from the Holy Swamp.
They refuse to accept that their Magic Negro’s feckless,anti-American global apology-for-nothing tour and complete disregard for our customs, traditions, and the Constitution itself wreaked nearly fatal damage on the nation, its reputation, its economy, its safety, and its internal race relations.
They fail to comprehend that it was Democrats who initially insisted that Comey be fired for suggesting Her Rotten Heinous had been careless in her handling of official documents AND that a special prosecutor be assigned to investigate all the leaks, particularly those coming from Comey and his understudy McCabe.
Ron off.
It was really hilarious when the firing was announced on Colbert and on The View, the audience applauded because the new programming hadn’t been installed in the Dimbots and they were still running the Comey is evil program.
Ron on.
They do not understand poor, persecuted McCabe’s pension situation (he will get most of it no matter what happens unless he is convicted and sentenced to federal prison) and that it was not DJT who fired him but the Attorney General after months of investigations and damaging reports by the Bureau’s internal affairs cops.
I doubt the average member of the “Resistance” can tell you who Lois Lerner is, or Clapper, or Brennan, or Horowitz, or that Slick lied and Soetoro made the worst possible “deal” with Iran. It’s all exactly like the“Hands-Up / Don’t-Shoot” myth which gave rise to Black Lives Matter: based entirely on lies and misinterpretations and gleeful anti-white-male anti-cop anti-law hysteria, not to mention the“sanctuary” city lunacy going on in Chicongo and SanFranFreakShow.
In fact, it’s a lot like when Londoners went to see Hamlet at its first appearance. They fully expected to see a neat, tidy little revenge tragedy with lots of treachery and finger pointing and cleverly phrased insults and eventual comeuppance for the antagonist in roughly an hour’s time.
What they got was a rambling, neurotic, indecisive,self-recriminating preppie home from college who talked with ghosts and spoke in complex, ambiguous, convoluted stream-of-consciousness paranoia about philosophical folderol. Sounds a lot like Maddow, or Morning Joe, don’t it? And in the end, the entire administration was wiped out and a foreigner wound up in charge of the country.
The average blokes, the groundlings who paid a penny to stand below the stage and watch, and even many of those who laid out tuppence for a seat were disappointed in how long it takes Hamlet to get on with it. And then he manages to stab the wrong guy, sacrifice a couple of bureaucratic flunkies, cause his girlfriend to drown herself, bring about his mother’s accidental death, and die himself because his comfy sanctuary had been violated and politics hadn’t worked out satisfactorily for him.
What they saw was a college kid who has a lotta trouble making up his mind and finally moving outta the safe space in Mom’s basement, doesn’t like the regime in power, and manages to destroy the entire government in a tantrum because things didn’t turn out the way he’d have liked.
When students asked me why they had to read stuff written by some old dead Greek or bald English guy back in the “dark ages,” I told them that the themes and human behavior in Sophocles’ and Shakespeare’s plays are timeless . . . that they apply to our world today as they did 400 years ago or even 2000 years ago.
Hubris is still hubris (although our modern popinjays rarely get the treatment they would have in ancient Greece) and the lust for power in politics is still a dangerous, often lethal business (although laws are not applicable to Clintons because of their Teflon exteriors) and with Google, Facebook, and the alphabet “news” networks, you can propagandize your way out of anything if you’re a “Progressive” because “It’s for the children.”
I’m afraid, though, that Hamlet’s poignant introspection, fierce personal loyalty, beautiful soliloquies, and lofty ethics are lost on today’s society. What we do today when things don’t happen the way we want is to throw a fit, demolish police cars, block traffic, burn businesses, and make bloody nuisances of ourselves on TV.
Ron off.
Only leftists do that. I haven’t heard yet of any conservative group rioting.
Ron on.
Well, throughout history, wise men have often said that societies usually wind up with the governments they deserve. Political Correctness gave us the halfrican,and his legacy made Trump inevitable.
Historians next century will sift through the debris of what once was the US, shake their heads in disbelief, and say “Damnedest case of suicide I ever saw.”
Ron off.
