Assumptions II

A familiar axiom reminds us to avoid talking about politics and religion at the family or social dinner table.  Why do such discussions quickly escalate into fiery rhetoric and hurt feelings?  These conversations are avoided because both politics and religion first begin with an accepted assumption, facts don’t really matter.  We say to family and friends, please do not challenge my owned assumptions or you will pay a price.

The reality is that the benefits of wisdom can only be discovered by those of us who are willing to have our own assumptions challenged as well as challenging the assumptions of others. 

Is this not the very definition of freedom?

Despicable Joe

 By hook or by crook, you democratic voters got what you wanted, President Joe Biden.  How is Joe working out for you after only six months?  You were either duped or you wanted open borders and the doubling of inflation.  With the soon to be added democratic spending agenda, inflation will trash all of us, democrat or republican, unless, of course, you are a rich democratic politician.  All of these policies are intended to make America poor and dependent upon the government dole. 

Then there is foreign policy, as expected by all free-thinking adults, Joe has willfully trashed the exit from Afghanistan, leaving American citizens behind to be hostages, thousands of Afghans who served the prior government and as many Christian believers.  Our generals even gave the Taliban a kill list of names and addresses of these folks.  What fate do you suppose awaits them dogged by the Taliban bullies?  The question we all must ask ourselves, who are we as Americans?  In Joe’s world, under Joe's morality system, out of sight is out of mind.

Despicable Joe and despicable you!
