[Our favorite cartoonist RL 'Bob' Crabb and I share thoughts on the US benefitting from a multi-party (four or more) political smorgasbord. Bob offered this good rendition, filched from the 2feb19 Union, of Howard Schultz's presidential ambitions. There should be a lot more to say about that. gjr]

No Paul Emery you are incorrect. If you want your “philosophy” to be more than just some BS you must gear up and make it happen You just use that as a excuse for inaction. I was a man of action for forty years and got a lot done while you were sitting on your hands yapping into a microphone. How many roads did you pave or create? How much did you save the taxpayers with your green-lib philosophy? Nothing of course. That is all lefty bluster and nothing more.

You know, I kind of buy that. There’s always been a successful form of children’s author that produced books for kids who hate their lives, a kind of porn for children at the bottom of the social heap. The common theme appears to be that (a) their parents disappear and (b) they acquire some kind of superpower. Bullies are now on the run.
I can’t help but wonder if that doesn’t explain the philosophy of the Blue Mob.

One thing liberals seem to do, and this is all of them. Project their miserable lives on others. Just like the democrats projected their racist past, their KKK and Jim Crow on others, they all do it. I really think they are mentally ill. We see that all over the country, they are all the same, loons. But they are fun to mock and boy do they get mad. Mostly though they are chickens and won’t post their true names like we do. They know they are in need of mental help and why let the public know who they are. Too funny. What a hoot!

Are Christian values a political party-Yes or no? Apparently you don’t know the difference between a philosophy and a political movement. Sad but true.
I think Todd was exposed to too much Mercury as a youth in Nevada County. Other than that he may just be stupid.
Anybody who over and over compares his studlieness with Trump is a weird dude indeed. Here’s the latest for late RR readers.
” I relate well to Trump as I have been the target of so many women over the years I have come to understand the issue very well. When you have good looks as I do, money and fame it attracts the gals and they will do a Lewinsky for the fun of it. I feel bad for short and ugly unsuccessful men who only dream what I live. So Trump, like me is a true stud.”

Aha! Brings me back to grade school when we had to learn a big word every day, A-Z. When it came to X, the word was xenophobia. Originally, the word meant fear of the unknown, fear of the foreign. Over time, the word evolved to be fear of foreign(er). Fear of the unknown. Like burning on burn days?
Fear is the big one.
Fear: False evidence appearing real.
Fear: False emotions appearing real.
Fear: F**k everything and run.

Now to jog your memory. Who was the soccer style kicker for UCLA when Gary Beban was playing? Think it started with a Z. Boy, did he blow it against Oregon St on a 2 yard field goal as time ran out…..ended in a tie and a near riot. College was much more exciting that the pros.
