Here is a perfect reason why I do not vote Democrat anymore

Michael Gerson, who was speechwriter for President George W. Bush, during the time of 9/11, died today of Cancer.

The Story via Washington Post, where he was also a columnist:

Michael Gerson, a speechwriter for President George W. Bush who helped craft messages of grief and resolve after 9/11, then explored conservative politics and faith as a Washington Post columnist writing on issues as diverse as President Donald Trump’s disruptive grip on the GOP and his own struggles with depression, died Nov. 17 at a hospital in Washington. He was 58.

The cause of death was complications of cancer, said Peter Wehner, a longtime friend and former colleague.

You can read the rest at the link above. It is sad news, right? You would think that the Progressive left would at least show a little respect for the family of man who had just died, right? Well, think again. Check out what some idiot, named Eric Loomis at a blog called “Guns, Lawyers and Money” writes:

I was hoping it was autoerotic asphyxiation, but alas, it was cancer.

Now, to be honest, when I was still voting for Democrats, I actually read this blog. Thank God that I figured out what that party was really about and changed my political views. The sick part is that the people of that party, especially the bloggers, have gotten much more nastier than they were, when I was still reading their blogs and had my own blog back in 2006.

But, more to the point, what kind of sick, evil, twisted person would even write something like this, about someone, who has just died of cancer and not have a single shred of decency to possibly be that nasty and not have any regard of his family, especially his wife and kids? This sort of thought comes from a dark heart of pure evil. Sorry to say it. But, this man has serious issues.

Yes, I know, 9/11 was terrible. The Iraq War sucked, and was based upon what we now know to be false intelligence. But that comment above about this man, goes way beyond just a political disagreement and being opposed to a war. This is a personal comment meant to hurt his family. This comment is just as immoral as the Iraq War was, in my opinion.

Even the Washington Post was at least respectful of the man, even if they did go out of their way to point out some of the doings of the Bush Administration. Heck, even Karen Tumulty was at least respectful of the man and she is a progressive herself.

I know that the Republican Party is not perfect and some conservatives make me cringe. (See Fox News Channel) But, at least they are respectful of others. As a said in the title, this is why I no longer vote Democrat. It is just is not my party anymore.

Stupid White People – Texas Edition

All I can do here is shake my head. Some of my people seriously dumb.

The Story via NBC News:

A middle school teacher in Texas is no longer employed after a video posted on social media showed him telling students his race is “superior.”
“Deep down in my heart, I’m ethnocentric, which means I think my race is the superior one,” the teacher was recorded telling students of various races last week inside a classroom at Bohls Middle School, a sixth- through eighth-grade school in Pflugerville, about 18 miles northeast of Austin.
“I think everybody thinks that,” the teacher says. “They’re just not honest about it.”
The remark appeared to be directed at two Black students. Some students challenged the teacher. One student says: “I’m not racist though. I like all types of kinds.” The teacher responds, “Did I say I don’t like people?”
Another Black student asks the teacher: “Wait, so you said you are what? You are a racist?”
“I think everybody is a racist at that level,” the teacher responds. The same student tells him: “No. But you said you are a racist.”
“I did. I did,” the teacher said. A pair of Black students then told the teacher that they no longer had respect for him.

Ethnocentric? More like butthole bigot to me. The story goes on at the link. Thankfully, the school district fired his racist butt. It’s one thing to think such things; it is another entirely to say them out loud.

Now, I could go on about how this a sign of the Republican Party under Donald Trump and all that stupid nonsense. But, truthfully, I believe this a bad case of someone speaking, when he should keep his damned mouth shut and speaking without really engaging his rather small pea brain.

Don’t buy the hype: Twitter has not changed a bit

Just letting everyone know, do not buy into the hype that Twitter is going to be become some free speech hell hole.

As you all might know, many people are freaking out over Elon Musk’s buying of twitter. Predictably, the left is losing their minds about it. Well, do not worry, the moderation is still in effect.

I know this, because my Twitter account was locked today or last night.

I was reacting to a story about a story, where a Wayne County GOP Chair was bitten, yes, bitten by a protester at a Tutor Dixon campaign stop in southwest Detroit.

Quote:

DETROIT (WXYZ) — Bizarre allegations have surfaced about an assault over the weekend at a Tudor Dixon rally at Armando’s in Southwest Detroit.
Wayne County’s Republican Party chair claims a woman protesting the rally bit her in the arm. 7 Action News has now confirmed the alleged attacker is a teacher in the Dearborn Public School district.
In a video provided by a witness, a man can be heard saying, “act like a normal person,” a woman later responded, “I am.”
Witnesses say the woman, a protestor, was there alone and her intentions were to disturb the peace.
“She was acting so chaotic that I was worried she would go after the speakers or something or hurt somebody,” Cheryl Costantino said.
Costantino says she tried to block the protestor from moving toward the stage.
At first, she felt her push back and then she claims, “she just bent over and bit me really hard,” Costantino said.
“I’ve never been bit by an adult in my life, or anyone over 5,” she added.
Costantino provided pictures of what she says are bite marks and bruising from the attack.
“The top was a compression injury because of how hard her jaw bit me,” Costantino said. “So when it started swelling up, I couldn’t even raise my arm, like it was even uncomfortable just to drive.”
Linda Sawyer says she witnessed the whole thing and later confronted the woman after management kicked her out.
“I was exiting and she was still by the door and I went to her and I said, ‘You bit Cheryl’ and she said, “Yeah, well,'” Sawyer said. “Like she was proud of it.”
The woman, who we are not naming because she hasn’t been charged, teaches special education at Dearborn Public Schools.
We spoke to her via Facebook and she denied all allegations and claimed she was the one who was attacked.
“If nonverbal and autistic children are in her care, if she would bite an adult what would you do to a child,” Costantino said.
Costantino has since filed a police report with the Detroit Police Department. A spokesperson has confirmed to 7 Action News that they are actively investigating the incident.
We reached out to Dearborn Public School. In a statement, they said:
“The Dearborn Public Schools is in the process of conducting an investigation to gather all the facts associated with this alleged incident and determine if there were any violations of board policy.”
School officials would not say what school the woman teaches at.
Costantino is a teacher herself, which she says makes the situation all the more mind-boggling.
“I don’t understand who would trust someone like that with their children and why would a school open themselves up to liability by keeping an employee who would act like that,” Costantino said.
She says no one’s political views warrant violence.
“It’s not worth going to jail over or getting charges brought against you,” she said. “It’s one thing to fight for what you believe in, but not physically.”

Well, on twitter, I linked to the story on twitter, with the words, “I would have punched the bitch” with the @GOP and @Thedemocrats twitter handles and my tweet was blocked and my account locked.

So, to those on the left freaking and right celebrating; don’t. Because nothing has changed at all.

For the record, I most likely would not have punched a Lady. But, bite me? I cannot rule out a good bitch slap. 😉
