I wasn't familiar with John Zmirak (he's a senior editor at the online site, The Stream, and an author of several books on contemporary politics and religion), but just stumbled across this article - "Donald Trump Will Ride a Coyote to Victory", and it's good - both funny and incisive. A sample:
Our nation is run, top to bottom, by ignorant, smug elitists like these. They have jumped through the right hoops, made the right connections, and signaled the right set of virtues. Millions of people have been rewarded with high salaries, cultural and political power for engaging in these rituals. They’ve earned journalism degrees without reading any history, education degrees without logic classes, multicultural diplomas having mastered no foreign languages. They know almost … nothing, in fact. Their status as “intellectuals” is an honorary degree they earned by showing up and bleating in unison, “Four legs GOOD, two legs B-A-A-A-A-A-D.” And they hold the rest of us in contempt. They’re not just ruthless, they’re shameless.
As you'll see in the article, in addition to his mockery of our homegrown "elites", Zmirak has a few choice words for Pope Francis, as well.
Meanwhile, on a purely human level, the spectacle of a talentless, nasty ex-chemistry teacher like Jorge Bergoglio trying to gaslight a billion people is objectively … funny. I can read his documents for laughs, as I once did the loopy Green Book of Muamar Gaddafi, or The Ruhnama — the vast pseudo-Q’uran the dictator of Turkmenistan forced his entire country to memorize. The last world leader to match Francis’ vaunted “humility” really was Saparmurat Niyazov. And he renamed months of the year after members of his family. But for now, I will leave Pope Borat in peace.
'Pope Borat'.

Speaking of coyotes:

Yep, the so-called elites screwed the pooch with their knee jerk reaction to "coyote". They carry their hatred on their sleeves.
ReplyDeleteThanks to relentless work by The New York Post, Fox News, and many smaller “rogue” media operators (One America News, Pandemic War Room, Judicial Watch, there’s an honor roll), America’s learning about all that squalor. President Trump wisely mentioned it several times, despite the debate moderator doing everything but physically tackling him to change the subject.
ReplyDeleteI wouldn't place Fox News so high, but I cannot argue with the rest of the list, nor the intent of the honor roll. The Fourth Estate is compromised by the "Ruthless, Clueless, and Shameless" (a/k/a "elites"), with emphasis on "clueless".
The damage,I firmly believe, is permanent. Useful idiots will likely disagree with my assessment, but that's only to be expected.
Did I say I love the internet? In this one post and thread, I've discovered The Stream website, and a well-thought-out lawsuit by Wile E. Coyote against the Acme Company. Thanks, guys. This is going to have me smiling all day.
