Details, Details, Details----SUCK!

People, who bemoan the Pledge because it’s not as specific as the Contract for America, while surely well intentioned, miss that hoary forest for the trees.

What does a detail man do for your car? Making it LOOK good won’t make it run better!

I once subbed for a high school class that taught me more than the students, probably. It was election season, like now, and the students were given a handout that listed the MANY different issues involved---and, it was four or five pages long!

Have you ever wondered how the political dimension ever evolved---devolved?---over time so that we today face so many polarized situations? And, how it always seems to be so clear-cut, with leftists taking almost perfectly opposite positions to rightists?

It’s the BASIC principles, not the ----DETAILS!

Getting mired down in arguing about specific programs that flow naturally from basic principles is playing into the loser-leftist’s hands.

I recently rejoined the cable TV community, having delightfully eschewed the “enjoyment” of watching O’Reilly, Hannity, et al for the last four or five years. Pay attention to the “fairness” doctrine as inevitably followed by the masters of these “programs”.

There are always segments with people from the right VERSES the left. And, thus, around half of the time is spent = wasted when leftists spout their “principled” talking points-of-the-day, AND even more is down the drain when those on the right have to RESPOND to them. And the show-ending result is?

Obfuscation masquerading as analysis! Why?

Because the time is mostly filled with hot air blasted on and of and about—DETAILS!

Me, I’m from a Gary Cooper era of the laconic or taciturn man, where actions are all that matter, and spoken words are very carefully chosen. Today?

Holy SPIT!

Also, one of the insights, quite impossible not to come to, given the tsunami of actions AND words from losers = leftists, is the quip---“Shut up, he said.” This command on high from such luminaries as Harry Reid, say at a town hall meeting, usually only comes to light infrequently, when they lose their covering-up cool.

However, in essence, this is what’s being manifest in ALL leftist’s encounters with their opponents. They are just so tightly armored within their own killer political belief system that they always rebuff ANY nonbelievers with this repellant reflection.

NOW---I believe ALL their actions, most assuredly including the myriad words they spit out to take up valuable time arguing in “fairness”, are just clever attempts to SHUT UP their critics.

Understand---they have NO = ZERO respect for them = us!!!

As a youthful hippie dropout, I have personal experience in this attitude. Talk about extremists! While the MSM = leftists prefer to try to convince the ignorant and unwashed masses that Tea Party types are “extreme”, what MUST be finally realized is that it is the LEFT that is, by definition, wholly EXTREME!

Thus, it is almost too late to get to truly know freedom’s enemy, before they become impregnable in their lawyerly “Ivory” tower. Indeed, when Obamacare passed, it certainly seemed to me that the ignorant masses had totally tipped into a coming Dark Age, within which it would be impossible to escape, with horrendous logical outcomes for all of us---except “Shut up, he said!” leftists--- cooked in the “laws” already passed and to come.

Maybe, though, KISS will fight back against SHUT UP.

By Keeping It Simple, Stupid, people have perhaps the final and only chance to stifle, a la Edith, the boneheads destroying this country.

And, therefore, let us be absolutely SIMPLE, by not getting distracted by the exponentially growing number of “programs” both to be done AND undone! Forget such DETAILS!

One of the political “tricks” is never to answer any question laid on you. Think about it. By playing the “answer the question” game, you are letting the questioner RULE. So, instead, take a deep breath, and refuse to be drawn into this pit of excrement---remember, “journalists” are NOT neutral “reporters” anymore, and haven’t been for many decades. They THINK it is THEY who are in charge!

My advice is to channel George Washington, and move and act as he did in public!

His ACTIONS, both as a warrior and as a President, are eternal examples to be followed.

On to PRINCIPLES, not programs, my freedom loving fellows!
