39. GO PETE and CHASTEN !!!!

I am tired of hearing, "the country isn't ready for………” which appears at least once in this thread…
I so often hear this phrase stated in utter 'sleep', 'automatically,' with no 'thought' or 'consciousness.' Like any thoughtless mindlessly regurgitated statement.. such as “self-avowed socialist.” Somebody on the stupid machine says it and suddenly the sleeping masses follow along like a bunch of mindless sheep.

Come on friends, THAT is what mindless republicans do.. That’s why they are republicans. Those same ‘mindless’ walking empty heads who call themselves Christians. What is one of the most often used phrases/ideas in the New Testament? (and I am NO Bible expert whatsoever)........................ Wake Up, Sleepers awake, know thyself.. all with the same aim. To really, factually WAKE UP!

Back to this particular case-- "the country isn't ready for………” --- There IS NO country, in that sense. PLUS, the country wasn’t ‘ready’ for a black guy (especially one with big ears AND a really big brain!) or a woman, with another really big brain- ESPECIALLY a big brain. ( Of course she actually won, but that’s another story. )
We’re smarter than that, or we wouldn’t be here.

WHEW! That was a lot and I haven’t even finished my 1st cup of coffee. I am “Undecided,” but GO PETE and CHASTEN !!!! Let's stick it too 'em !!!




If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for:
