REALITY BITES

Every time I think I have heard it all, something new comes out of the very infertile minds of leftist loonies. It has been reported that a number of new and prospective parents have decided not to identify their newborns by any gender specific pronouns. Instead of babies, they will henceforth be known as “theybies”.  Their thinking, if I may use the term thinking, is that their offspring should be able to decide their gender based on their feelings, not on their birth equipment. They don’t want these theybies to be encumbered by any undue influence of, for example, nature. Such behavior on the part of these people is at the very least parental failure and probably more accurately could be called child abuse.

I have some bad news for these morons. When an individual is conceived their gender is already decided regardless of how they feel about it. Granted, some can alter their appearance and even their nature with chemicals and surgery but, in the final analysis a baby born as a male will always be a male. The same is true for girls. Some go for surgical alteration and chemical treatments to look like another gender, but boys will be boys and girls will be girls. Reality bites. Generations in the future will look back on all this and be awed by our insanity.

Speaking of insanity, a number of municipalities across the country are starting a program whereby families are given money each month. They don’t have to work for it, they just have to be. This loony leftist thinking appears to be that the only thing people need to consider themselves equals is a steady income whether they earn it or not. Here is another situation where reality is going to bite. What this will do is create a larger pool of street drug dealers and enrich booze sellers. Police will have to work much harder to keep the streets clean and safe. Domestic violence will increase. Self-esteem will continue to plummet. Whatever happened to the requirement that man will earn his living by the sweat of his brow? I guess that’s just old-fashioned thinking.

Regardless of what anyone may think, this nonsense cannot and will not work. Pouring taxpayer money into the hands of idle loafers will not improve their lives, it will have the opposite effect. Once again we will witness the fact that reality bites.

A number of Democrats are now adopting a new leftist theory of socialism. Not new to the world, but definitely new to America. Well, here’s some more bad news.

Socialism doesn’t work. It never has and it never will. As in any and all situations, some enterprising folks always rise to the top of the heap and start gathering up all the free money the government gives to the citizens. As is always the case, the rich will get richer and the poor will get poorer. Just look at Venezuela. Hugo Chavez’s daughter is the richest person there and most of the Venezuelan people cannot even feed themselves or find toilet paper. A major revolution is coming and they will again have to start over. Reality is going to bite big there.

For me and most of the great citizens of this country, realty is fine. Reality is reality. It doesn’t bite and it doesn’t punish. Reality allows for the propagation of our species. As in the “lesser” animal kingdom we have male and female offspring born. That insures their species will continue. The same is true for humans. I cannot be a unicorn. As much as I might wish for it, it ain’t gonna happen. I can even identify myself as a unicorn, but reality is that I’m just a human being. Some things are just the facts and like it or not, it isn’t going to change.
