Do Your Homework

A longtime friend of this blog writes:

I really am not familiar with Mike Rowe, but a quick Google indicates he has a reality TV show on cable. But, I really enjoyed this and thought you might enjoy it as well:

I had seen the article by Rowe already.  And it made a point that, I suspect, only he could make.

Our push to get people to the polls, and elevate voting to the highest of civic virtues, is intensely misguided.

Uninformed? Incurious?  Have a worldview based entirely on chanting points?  Why should you go out of your way to make your fairly facile voice heard, running the most complex organization in humanity, when you really don’t get how it works or why?

    Of course, getting the feeble minded, uninformed and facile to the polls, in droves, and multiple times is the whole of the reprobate Democrat party’s campaign strategy.

    It reminds me of what I consider an ugly reality; a debauched society is first of all incapable of maintaining a republic because the passions of the people are too strong to contain. It is simultaneously incapable of sustaining a dictatorship for the exact same reason.

    In short, we are so close to so screwed.

    Swift: Keep repeating what you keep repeating you little keyboard warrior. It’s so exciting!

    What is the purpose of the United States of America?
    The founders said that the purpose of the United States is to “establish justice, insure domestic tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general welfare, and secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity.”
    Liberals believed that the purpose of the United States is to provide a framework for you to vote yourself the property and the rights of your fellow citizens.

    Dog Gone,

    I’m going to hold your comment in moderation until you respond.

    Just a simple “Hey, I’m here” will do. And if you do not respond to the response – which, inevitably, will result in your comment being flensed as the illogical mess it is – I’ll go back to barring your comments.

    You’re back to writing rhetorical checks you can not cash again.

    After three days of no response, your comment will be deleted from moderation.

    I will not tolerate pooping and running any more. Follow the rules, or keep your writing to your own blog.

    Speaking of keyboard warriors, Emery, your pal dog is pounding out the misspelled adverbs and mangled syntax to an empty peanut gallery over at her pinhead blog. It’s the kind of simple minded crap that is guaranteed to stimulate your vestigial brain stem.

    Why not head over to the pinhead blog and exchange your plagiarized Bon mots for some of dog’s most excellent papspew?

    I miss Angry Clown, but I don’t think he will ever show up to do battle again as long as his SITD leftist posse consists of Emery and dog…and I don’t blame him.
