KEYS TO THE BATHROOM AT THE LOCAL SHELL STATION

Like you I have been listening to the “candidates” for the Democrat nomination for President. Let me just say this. To me they sound like a bunch of clowns. What they are proposing is never going to happen, period. Even in the far out event one of these morons was ever elected President of this country, intelligent people would stop them in their tracks. 

Let’s look at some of these far left ideas and what would result. This proposal that we eliminate all fossil fuels, for example. That means no diesel, no oil, no gasoline, and of course no coal. No drilling, no fracking, and no new exploration. The rest of that ridiculous proposal is that we eliminate all automobiles, all trucks, all airplanes, all farm equipment which produces our food, and all coal fired plants which produce the electricity we need to heat and cool our homes and businesses. If you can, conjure up the picture of this country under that situation. To go anywhere we would have to walk, ride our bicycles, or our horses. Of course we would have to have horses that produced no flatulence. To heat our homes and businesses we would have to burn wood. How long do you suppose our forests would last if three hundred fifty million people started cutting wood to heat their homes?

The next big idea from this bunch is that every gun owner in this country sell their guns back to the country. A conservative guess is that would probably amount to about five billion guns. Well listen up, Democrats. Neither my guns nor my rights under the Constitution are for sale. My guns are not for hunting. They are for the protection of my family from any bad guys who might want to try to get into my house, but more importantly, they are there to protect me and my family from the government. The first act of tin horn dictators is to confiscate any weapons held by the citizenry. That confiscation serves no one but the potential dictator. History is full of examples of former free people subjugated by an ambitious dictator. All he had to do was take away their guns.

Next, let’s talk free stuff. Free education, free medical care, even free money sent out from the government every month to everybody. Most of these clowns who are currently running for the nomination have never had a real job or ever had to make a payroll. They seem to have absolutely no understanding of basic economics. The government doesn’t produce anything and the only money the government has was previously confiscated from the citizens. The government cannot pay for anything. In other words, there ain’t no free stuff. There are only goods and services supplied by working taxpayers who produce it. For the government to pay for anything, they must first take it away from you. 

Finally in this tirade, I want to talk about illegal entry into this country. Listen, I don’t blame them for trying to break into our country. If I were homeless, I would look for a place to live. If I were poor and needy, I would look for someone who would pay my way. People from all over the world have believed America’s streets are paved with gold and money falls off the trees. I guess compared to some places in the world, we do look like that. The pure reality is that we cannot take the entire world into our fold. If the lefties got their way and opened our borders, it would be a matter of days before we would be overrun. 

This bunch are running around this country asking us for the keys to Air Force One.  Are you kidding?  I wouldn’t give them the keys to the bathroom at my local Shell station. Think about it.
