SOCIALISM AND OTHER MORONIC NONSENSE

Ever hear of Cynthia Nixon? Me either until just recently when it was announced that she would be running for Governor of New York. She is an actress who is an avowed socialist. I do have one thing in common with her however, we are both married to a woman. Of course my marriage is a little different in that I am a man. But I guess that is a story for another time. If New York elects her, they deserve what they get. It has been reported that she even makes Cuomo look good by comparison.

Speaking of socialists. How about Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez? She defeated a longtime incumbent democrat Congressman in the Queens area of New York City in the primary election. She has been all over the media with wild eyed programs of free stuff for all. From college education to health care. It will all be free. There are a few problems however with all her talk. Most, if not all of her programs, are completely unworkable and impossible. When asked to appear on a nationally syndicated program hosted by Ben Shapiro for a debate, she refused claiming the request was a catcall and sexist. She was also fact checked by the Washington Post who found most of her claims to be untrue, she again claimed the Post was just being sexist. I guess if you don’t agree with her wild-eyed nonsense, you must be a sexist. I confess. That’s me.

Here’s a thought. For all you socialists out there who are either running for office or thinking about it, Bernie Sanders, Elizabeth Warren, et al, there should be a law requiring that you spend thirty days in Venezuela. When you return, maybe you might have a different opinion about how governments should be run.  

More stuff to think about. Our Congress is getting “frustrated” with the Justice Department because they won’t release documents Congress has subpoenaed. Attention Congress, our Constitution has given you the most powerful weapon of all in bringing any and all agencies of government in line. It is called the checkbook. You have the power of the purse. That’s a little like a taser. Effective but not fatal. Use it and watch Justice or any other department obey the rules. Failure to use your power is a dereliction of duty.

And this final rant. A new elementary school in Kansas City has decided, in their wisdom, to make their bathrooms “gender neutral.”  Their explanation is that they want the bathroom experience to be more open and less restrictive for either boys or girls. In other words, youngsters shouldn’t have to decide whether they are boys or girls or maybe even something else when they to go to the bathroom. The bathrooms will be a common area.

Well, I’ve got some news for the people who have come up with this ingenious new program. Neutral means no substantial difference. A neutral country doesn’t favor either side in a war, for example. A neutral color for paint means it will go with about anything. In other words, no substantial difference.

There are substantial differences between boys and girls and those differences are there for a very good reason. Were it not for those differences, the human race would have long ago come to an end. Gender difference has existed since time began and no amount of liberal history revision is going to change that. Oh, and speaking of weird, California is experimenting with gender neutral showers for kids. What could possibly go wrong with that? Sometimes I wake up wondering if I am on a different planet.

I will close with this. There is a serious price to be paid for the excesses being practiced by some in this world. God help us.
