I understand that you're not fond of mentioning Trump on this blog, but avoiding it avoids the narrative that is currently in play. First Trump and then Carson:<br /><br />Trump in word, deed, and very existence reflects the main sentiment that a good chunk of the population wants to express right now, and that sentiment is "fuck you."<br /><br />Trump can sell "fuck you." He did it for years on The Apprentice, cleaned up as "You're fired." He's going for force the Mexicans to pay for a wall at the southern border? That's not a serious policy statement. That's "fuck you, amnesty proponents", and whether they realize it, admit it, or not, that's exactly what people want to hear.<br /><br />They'll tell you, "He takes it to Obama and Hillary. He fights!" but what they they really mean is "Fuck you, Democrats, and fuck you, establishment Republicans."<br /><br />"He can't be bought!" Fuck you, lobbyists. Fuck you, corporate interests.<br /><br />"He's not a politician!" Fuck you, Washington. Fuck you, pollsters.<br /><br />"He stirs things up!" Fuck you, pundits. Fuck you, media.<br /><br />In the case of Carson, it's a more subtle gesture, but the message remains the same. And it's not just the Republicans. The Democrats have the same frustration with the disaster that flows from the Obama Years. It explains Hillary's meteoric descent in the polls, like a great rock from space auguring into the turf. <br /><br />I know that you want to keep the discourse here civil, and I agree with that, but sometimes you simply have to recognize what's going on for what it is. And it's pervasive, it's nationwide, it's the plea of the disenfranchised in "fly over country". The political class have done it with their rapaciousness. People don't take up staves, torches and pitchforks these days, but the message couldn't be more clear if they did.LLhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05538854359365988863noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8591018003444406729.post-18305685561871756572015-09-15T08:49:57.381-04:002015-09-15T08:49:57.381-04:00Perfectly rendered, Tigerhawk.

Anyway a shout out to o...Ideology? What's that?<br />Anyway a shout out to our own TigerHawk. He may seem like a stuffed shirt, tightly would Skull and Bones kinda guy (what is it called at Princeton I wonder?) but apparently he's a WILD MAN!<br />Playboy just announced their top ten party schools and the University of Iowa came in at #2! I guess being raised on sorghum and corn on the cob ain't so bad after all. And apparently those "wide-tracker" farm girls make up for their 180lbs figures with an extra dose of enthusiasm. But hey, that's ok. When you're a shitfaced 19 year old just about anything will do. <br />Go Iowa! "The Hammer"https://www.blogger.com/profile/16342812251947807673noreply@blogger.com
