Trying to Square the Circle

This old geometry problem is, and always has been, an impossibility.  No doubt, that has not kept many from pursuing a solution to its hopeless question.   Since the dawn of time, seeking an elusive answer to a hypothetical question has been a popular exercise in entertainment.  But when the solution being sought has accompanying relevance that makes it necessary, then the patience and equanimity required of such quixotic pursuits wear thin.

 

This is where we stand today with many of the social and political goals listed on the liberal agenda.  Unfortunately, the exclusionary and monotone bubbles that liberals tend to inhabit prevents them from coming to grips with the fundamental law of actions and reactions; of the difference between wants and needs; and the folly of using limited resources like they are house money.   It effectively insulates them from REALITY.  It is quite simply impossible to make sense of some of the things they do.

 

When we place people in government positions where they have significant amounts of power and authority, it is essential that either (A) these people have life experience that has taught them how things occur in the real world, or (B) even though they may have lived a life of privilege, they are sufficiently intelligent to understand that everyone is not as lucky as they have been.  It is tragic that the Biden Administration is populated by bureaucrats who possess neither A nor B.

 

The detachment from reality exhibited by Biden appointees is breath-taking.  The double-standards by which they normally operate are just plain wrong.  And the ignorance they display in their administration of our government is irresponsible to the point of malfeasance.  Let us examine some examples of this behavior.

 

In the words of my favorite TV character Harry Bosch… “everybody counts or nobody counts”.  If this maxim is going to apply in the administration of law and justice in America, then all people should be treated equally.  That simply ain’t what’s happening.  There are two levels of justice in our nation; one for the common person and one for the wealthy and powerful.  To wit…let’s consider how the Department of Justice (DOJ) treats the son of our President.

And how the law and Congress deal with those people who might not “think like they do”.

Adam Schiff barking about Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas “crossing a line” has as much credibility as me instructing Michael Jordan about how to dunk a basketball.  Schiff is a worm; Clarence Thomas is an historically-great man in American history.

 

The liberal elements of the Democrat Party have been foisting their socialist principles on law enforcement ever since Obama spent eight years in the White House pumping out that drivel.

People all across our country are beginning to understand that crime cannot go unpunished and law enforcement must have the necessary resources to maintain civil order and security.  What does our President and liberal support structure do when they have opportunities to impact law enforcement across the land?  Why…they appoint people like this to decide exactly how the law will function.

In the world of liberals and Democrats, the truth of yesterday can prove to be nothing more than a nuisance today.  As long as they have the mainstream media to airbrush their hypocrisy and parrot their talking points…the rain can be dry, the sun can be cool, the darkness can be light, and idiots get rewarded for their lunacy.  See if you can “square this circle” ……….

The great guru of “all things pandemic” continues to haunt the airways of our nation, even after his crooked affairs, poor judgement, and just bone-headed recommendations are exposed for the comedies that they are.

Per the liberal modus operandi…if you start losing the game, simply change the rules.

This from a person (Yellen) who told us a few months back that inflation was of no concern; it was only temporary.

 

One of the favorite words in the liberal lexicon is “tolerance”.   But their definition comes with the qualifier “tolerance for me, but not for thee”.   For instance, consider how this liberal darling diva approaches an emotional subject that clearly has significant differences in how people view it.  There are certainly two sides to this argument, but They/She leaves no room for differing opinion or opposition.

Another “crisis du jour” of our liberal elite is climate change.  Somehow, in their universe, if you cannot grasp that the world as we know it is coming to an apocalyptic end sometime next month due to our irresponsible trashing of the planet, then you are simply stupid.  And if they can’t push their Green New Deal through under normal legislative proceedings, then they will simply have to jam it down our throats with Executive Actions.  Per these raving climate alarmists, we must “plug in” to save the world…regardless of the cost.

You know…a man can have feminine ways and a woman can be masculine in nature.  But at the end of the day, a man and a woman are defined by their biology.

Here is a great article on the liberal philosophy and how it seeks to “reinvent or normalize” certain things in order to promote them.  In their world, you must either accept their new definitions and embrace their new practices; if you refuse, you are an outcast.

Not content in their efforts to reshape our American culture and society to reflect their “woken” ways, the Liberal/Democrat nexus has wormed its way into areas and Departments where it SHOULD NOT BE.  Some parts of our government…like the Department of Justice…should be free from political influence.  Another critical area is our Department of Defense.  In fact, one would have to think that an Administration would be complete looney tunes to try to exert radical, cultural influence on our military.  One would be correct.

Another bulwark in the liberal wall is the “nanny state”; a situation where the government is the big “I” in all things and you, the citizen, are the small “you”.  Where the government decides what is best for you, how you should live, how they should spend your money, and most importantly…how you need to think about things in general.  Lincoln spoke of a government that was “of the people, by the people, and for the people”.  That makes sense to me.  That is how I read our Constitution.  Just how has the big liberal government philosophy worked out for our country?

President Joe Biden has sold his soul to the radical, liberal elements of the Democrat Party.  They control what he says; they control the policies he promotes; and they control the actions he takes.  The hard truth is that these ideals do not reflect the majority opinion of American citizens.  In fact, they do not reflect the majority opinions of American Democrats.  Biden has veered off the main road onto a side path of extremism and he is reaping the wages of that journey.

In closing…some remarks about a past story with current implications.  The events of January 6, 2021 at our nation’s Capitol were tragic.  A legitimate exercise in free speech and assembly devolved into a desecration of our government, both symbolically and physically.  It could have turned out much worse than it did.  In fact, the House Select Committee, in conducting their hyperbolic hearings, have demonstrated how extreme they might be construed.

 

But while the Select Committee should be publicly denigrated for their shallow, transparent, and partisan commandeering of this uncivil act; it is also quite legitimate to blame President Trump for the manner in which he handled the situation.  I do not condone substituting the term “insurrection” for “bad judgement”; but I will readily acknowledgement that sometimes, bad judgement serves as a glimpse into true character.  And while we are assessing blame, the Biden Department of Justice has shown themselves to be nothing less than a partisan arm of the White House through the manner in which they have prosecuted the participants of the January 6 events.  It is shameful.

 

It was abundantly clear that at some point between the November 3, 2020 and January 6, 2021, the election results were not going to be overturned by some instances of irregularities, wrongdoing, and possible criminal behavior.  The opportunities for election misbehavior that should have been addressed before the election could not be feasibly addressed after the election…. and before January 6, 2021.  Trump knew this; but refused to accept it.  He bears the guilt for that action and the consequences thereof. 

 

To the credit of Congress, and through the normal fits and starts of our political process, a new piece of legislation has been agreed upon that will seek to address the issues surrounding January 6, 2021.  This is the right way to right the wrongs.  Invading the Capitol was the wrong way.  Here is some good commentary on both ways.
