Letter To The Editor: Deep Thoughts From A Conservative Trump Voter
Dear Heisenberg,
I just want to make sure, on Friday afternoon, that I understand a couple of things correctly.
To be sure, I'm not being sarcastic (I wouldn't do that).
And I'm definitely not deriding organized religion (I wouldn't do that either).
And finally, I'm definitely not saying that it's ok for Kathy Griffin to pretend to decapitate Donald Trump (it's definitely not ok and I would never suggest that it is).
See, generally speaking I:
think conservatives are a logical bunch wh
You had me going then until ‘Zeus’.
I was cautiously sold up until the gay marriage part. Even for a Trump supporter, that was a leap too far.
Man, I am glad you finally got a conservative voice to speak as a guest in order to counter your liberal viewpoint. Actually, he (I assume) is probably a middle-of-the-road Trump supporter. A hardcore supporter would be spouting from Mein Kampf.
Seriously, what scares me is — as the AI, robotics, and technology in general take the place of the working class; as society moves from ~90% working age men employed in the 1950’s to ~60% in 2020’s; as colleges price themselves out of business; as we as a society impeded the best and the brightest of the world to move to America — we cannot even predict the outcome. Trump may be just the first step…
Hell, I remember getting into elevators as a kid for which there was an attendant opening and closing a gate and door. During that period, we did not have the supporting social systems. So the percentage of working-age population actually employed was high. We may now have low unemployment — but the comparison of today to long-ago past (that many Trump supporters want to retreat) is a comparison of apples to oranges. Today’s employment numbers only includes those wanting to work (or thinking about it). Some of the ~35% that have given up looking for a job months and years ago may think that a Trump will help them — but they may as well just pray five times a day facing Mecca. Their chances are about equal for getting a job that will suit them. Let’s face it, in today’s world, in America, one’s chances of having a decent job correlates with IQ. And 100 is the median. Fifty percent fall below that. That number appears to where we are moving over the long term — 50% of working-age population actually working. Then what type of Trump will be voted in?
Scary…
Where are we headed? Don’t you get it yet? For the 1% ‘change is ‘good’; all of it. Since they are ‘the smart guys’ they think they can identify the right investments and elect the right people to protect their piles. Looks like it is working for them. They just have to get some of us suckers to vote the right way….
A Not So Deep Rebuttal From a True Conservative
This was a moderately entertaining missive from your typical horribly deceived and fully indoctrinated liberal attempting to masquerade with something almost representing cogent conservative thought. Not very successful in my opinion; full of deceit and obvious sarcasm. You know, the typical condescending derogatory rhetoric that we have all come to love and enjoy from our friends on the left.
As a true born again Christian who has read the Bible from cover to cover, (the Koran too if you care to know), I can state that the left’s representation of Christianity and Christian believers in general is fictitious. We do not hate gays. We do not hate women who have abortions, even though we do not approve of that activity. We love everyone. Even the ones who want to kill, or talk shit to us. We do not deride someone else’s intelligence because they have a different view than we do. We do not try to silence those people who do not agree with us. In our view, everyone will one day be accountable for their own actions to the Almighty, (not Zeus), and Jesus Christ is the only acceptable answer.
That’s the One ‘right’, for all of eternity.
God bless you. I hope you have a nice weekend.
Listen, righteous christian fellow your post is just dripping with condescension for us “outsiders”. I don’t give a fu*k who or what you want to believe, that is your business. Lots of “christian” believers Are assh*les about gays, women, the Koran, and many other “fictitious” distortions you profess us non-believers have about your christianity. So my fellow human being freedom is a good thing because I will fight to the death to keep you safe in your religious cocoon, but when you leave this planet and your god doesn’t show up, rejoice in your condescension. Hope you have a nice weekend.
