The Smartest Political Party in the Whole Wide World!

Just about every country has political parties. Even countries that are not all that keen on people having political views have political parties. Those happen to be the countries where there is the official party and the other parties. Most of the members of the “other” parties tend to be in jail or deceased. As a rule, they do not tend to have very many active members.

Now, we in the United States have quite a few parties, but as everybody knows, two actually run the show. One party is the Republican. When they have somebody in the White House, that person is generally referred to as the idiot (this is often substituted with the moron). The other main party is the Democratic, and when they have somebody in the White House, that person is generally referred to as the genius. In fact, most of those holding office in the Democratic Party are referred to as being a genius or the smartest. Way back when - as in way back when he first ran for the presidency - Vice President Biden was fond of telling the average person who disagreed with him that they were not as smart as he was, consequently, they did not understand what he was saying. He stopped saying that after his fondness for plagiarism came to light.

Barney Frank, a member of the House of Representatives from Massachusetts, is often referred to as the smartest person in Congress. Needless to say, Barney is a Democrat. I have to take their word for it, because, to be honest, I have never actually heard Barney answer a direct question. His preferred method is to insult the questioner and act disinterested while doing so. He comes from the “are you going to believe your lying ears, or are you going to believe what I am telling you now” school of politics.

The Democratic Party is the party of Thomas Jefferson. Everybody knows he was smart! Just to murky the waters, when Jefferson was a Democrat, they were called Republicans. The Republicans did not become the Republicans until they ran a candidate called Abraham Lincoln. A lot of Democrats think Lincoln was smart, but I have a feeling that is only because they think the Republicans were still Democrats and not Republicans, yet. Anyhow, anybody who has ever read anything about Jefferson would probably know that he would be suing to have his name removed from all Democratic Party literature.

Another brilliant Democrat is former Vice President Albert Gore. The thing I find most fascinating about Gore is the on/off switch that he seems to have for his Tennessee drawl. Nonetheless, we do have to give the man credit for inventing almost as many things as the former Soviet Union, and with the same credibility. From never finding a graduate school he was capable of getting a degree from to a Nobel Laureate. Who would have believed it?

The list of Democratic brainiacs could go on, but we all know how embarrassed politicians get when their horns are tooted, and I certainly do not want to do that.

The Case of the Fishy Emails

So, for the opening salvo on this blog I was going to wax poetically on something totally different. The title was going to be “The Smartest Political Party in the Whole Wide World!” But, thank you White House, that has changed -

History has made much of the famous “Enemies List” of the Nixon White House. There was something about that list, though, that the Left of this nation apparently does not understand, and it happens to be that the people on that list wielded some sort of power. It did not consist of people like you or me. I would be the first to admit that most of us are not like most politicians. That is, most of us, as opposed to most of them, teeter on the edge of actually being honest. As a rule, we solve the world’s problems over a cup of coffee (well, sometimes a beer, but bigger problems are solved when alcohol is involved) and move on to that obscure little nook we came from. Unfortunately, to the crew now running the show, you know, the ultra smart people, any outings from those little nooks is a warning that the nation is in peril.

Yes, it is now your patriotic duty to report anything you might consider to be “fishy” to the White House. Nobody is going to lose a job at NASA because I happen to be walking the face of the earth, but even I can hear the warning bells going off. No, I am not a big conspiracy freak. Not at all! Still, I do get a tad worried when somebody with way too much time on their hands is telling people to forward “fishy” emails to the powers that be. I wonder, for instance, why? Why do you need the email? Do you want to backtrack to the originator? If you do that, what are you going to do when you find out who the originator is? IRS audits? Knock on the door from the Secret Service? Just why do you need the original email at the White House?

Laugh at people for worrying about such things. Have a real good laugh. When you are finished laughing, give some thought to emails you have forwarded along the way. Was this the “Change You Can Believe In?”
