Harassing cops at Occupy Denver with chants of, "The police are the army of the rich!" In reality the police are the army of civilized society that lives by the rule of law.
In the interest of being “fair and balanced” my family and I recently stopped by Occupy Denver at Civic Center Park across from the state capitol. Back in 2009, we also attended the pre-Tea Party stimulus bill protest at the capitol, then the follow-up Tea Party protest.
This time around we were in Denver for the Colorado Ski and Snowboard Expo to enjoy the fruits of capitalism provided by evil corporations like Vail Resorts and Intrawest. I’m pleased to report that Colorado ski resorts and ski and snowboard retailers were doing a brisk business.
It’s strange how the free market works: People provide a product based on demand and then compete to make that product as economical and accessible as possible in order to profit from said product. Everyone wins who wants to win in this system. The catch is that you have to work, and work hard, to succeed.
Meanwhile, just around the corner at Occupy Denver, the dregs of society were gathered to protest that same system. They claim it’s Wall Street in particular they’re protesting, but by and large they blame capitalism in general for society’s ills.
What they haven’t figured out is that while Wall Street is certainly a problem, especially its cozy relationship with porky politicians in Washington, D.C., it is not the poster boy for capitalism. The poster boy, among many other poster boys, is the person exhibiting at the Ski and Snowboard Expo working hard to deliver a great product.
In one of my earlier eyewitness Tea Party posts, I wrote the following:
Another striking thing about the protest was how orderly and well-behaved everyone was. This was in stark contrast to your typical left-wing protest, where profanity, invective, and mean-spiritedness prevail. My hope is that the hard-working, family-oriented American wins the day and wins back our country.
An f-bomb throwing evangelist exchanges pleasantries with f-bombing anarchists at Occupy Denver. Nice.
Some objected to these general characterizations as being unfair to progressives, but the dichotomy between the Tea Party and Occupy protests I witnessed proved the theory, at least at the Denver versions of the protests.
Immediately upon arrival at Occupy Denver the onslaught of “profanity, invective and mean-spiritedness” began in earnest. A group of anarchists was harassing the cops, who were merely hanging around to make sure things didn’t get out of hand. They chanted, “The police are the army of the rich!” I asked one of the policemen if he was part of the army of the rich, and he just shook his head as if to say, “Yeah, right.”
Then, an “evangelist” approached the anarchists, waving a Bible and punctuating every other word with the F-word. They yelled at each other for awhile, the anarchists matching every evangelical F-word with their own F-bombs and some sacrilege to boot.
That scene got old rather quickly, so we wandered into the heart of the beast, a motley collection of 911 Truthers, punks with spikes and tattoos, neo-Nazis, hipster dufus wanabees, the homeless and a lonely man with a Ron Paul t-shirt. The area in which they congregated was dirty, disheveled and disorganized. We didn’t stay long; there wasn’t really much to see, other than losers with nothing better to do.
Running with the Devil: The motley crew of anarchists, communists, neo-Nazis, punksters, 911 Truthers, the homeless and other losers at Occupy Denver.
My overall impression was that those who were first attracted to the movement and who may have had a legitimate beef about the abuses of Wall Street likely abandoned the protest to the fringe elements. This reinforces my theory that anyone who’s really serious about reforming Wall Street should join the Tea Party. Tea Partiers, at least this Tea Partier, very much resent the immoral and unethical relationship between Wall Street and the Federal government whereby the largest Wall Street donors are ensured bailouts when their risky, shady deals go south. Everyone else can go to hell.
The system is rigged, but it’s rigged by big government. Banking regulations, for instance, favor the existence of giant banks. The regulations are designed to make it difficult for small banks to be competitive, thus capital and the risk associated with it are concentrated in very few hands. If that risk was spread out among smaller banks, systemic crashes would be averted. Now, when one giant bank collapses it threatens to collapse the entire system, but that’s how porky politicians like it.
Now that's more like it... People buying and selling goods and services at the Colorado Ski and Snowboard Expo. These ordinary, hard-working people were decidedly happier, enjoying the fruits of their labors, than were the bitchy baby Occupiers around the corner at Civic Center Park in Denver.
Therefore, why would one who doesn’t like the games Wall Street plays want to make the Federal government larger? So that it can continue to consolidate its political power with economic power? This is a recipe that will ensure the poor get poorer while the connected few rich get richer, which is why the likes of Michael Moore, Alec Baldwin, George Soros and Warren Buffet are in favor of this disaster recipe arrangement.
There really is no rational reason to vote Democrat, the party dedicated to growing government at the expense of the individual. Leftist movements have historically left misery and destruction in their wake, from the French Revolution to the people’s revolutions in Russia, China, Korea and Cuba. The Occupy protest I witnessed was a microcosm of what happens when the left is in control, which is to say hell on earth.
“Living is easy with eyes closed, misunderstanding all you see…”
As time goes by I become ever more convinced that we’re living in America’s twilight years. The tide is turning from a nation of go-getting, productive and unabashedly ambitious people to one of whining crybabies, paralyzed by the fact that life can be a real bitch, with all due respect to my neighbor’s dog. Americans have lost all sense of proportion, and it gets worst each passing day.
While there are people being slaughtered in other parts of the world simply because of their beliefs, we’re worried about finding a WiFi hot spot in Starbucks so we can Tweet about Demi Moore. Yet many of our fellow countrymen have decided that America is awful and the epicenter of all that is wrong in the world. They pine for an America that’s more like a cross between Denmark and some basket-case third-world backwater.
The Magical Mystery Tour is hoping to take you away... Hoping to take you away.
The Occupy Wall Street (and other cities across the nation) crowd is a spectacular example of bratty baby talkers who apparently want Big Daddy government to take care of their every need. They are the Entitlement Generation, spawned by the Worst Generation, a.k.a., Baby Boomers.
While compared to the Tea Party by the media, the Occupy “movement” has nothing in common with those protests. Where the Tea Parties are civil, law-abiding and respectful, the Occupy urchins are uncivil, profane and law-breaking. They are, in short, the definition of a mob.
The Tea Party’s message was for government to back off and allow us the freedom to take care of ourselves. The Occupiers’ message, as far as anything cohesive can be discerned from it, is more government, more intrusion and more entitlements, all paid for by everyone but them.
The element of the Occupiers that irks me most is the college grads who sunk tens of thousands of dollars into a pointless education, expecting to immediately emerge as middle-class urban hipster dufuses with loads of disposable income.
The first thing they should have learned at school was that it might help to have a marketable skill. I’m sorry, but constructing and using a beer bong or rolling a joint doesn’t count, nor does all the progressive multicultural claptrap that passes for scholarship at our increasingly irrelevant universities.
While other developing nations are focusing on engineering and technology, American universities increasingly focus on regressive nonsense. For instance, the mission statement of the University of Texas’ Center for Women’s and Gender Studies says, in part: “The mission of the Center for Women’s and Gender Studies (CWGS) is to create committed communities that address the challenges faced in the areas of gender, sexuality, diversity, and equity.”
Note that the Center’s mission is not to impart useful, practical knowledge that someone could apply to be a productive member of society, but to “create committed communities.” In other words, its entire mission is propaganda.
I assume that someone who graduates with a BS degree in Women’s and Gender Studies could get a job as a diversity manager at some corporation, creating rules and red tape that hinder and harass those who have real jobs at the company. It’s no wonder that America is becoming less competitive in the global market.
Moreover, while these graduates may be well-versed in Gay and Lesbian Literature and Culture (an actual class in the Center’s curriculum), they will be perplexed by the most basic of economic principles. Because they don’t understand economics, they will assume governments are instituted to secure their right to a flat screen TV, round-the-clock WiFi Internet access and health care, among others, without having to do anything to get whatever goodies they might want… Strawberry Fields Forever.
Unfortunately, there’s something called reality that smacks all of us in the face, and that reality is human nature. As I’ve written here a million times, all people, and I mean all people, are selfish. Whether you want to call it Original Sin or Natural Selection, it is an incontrovertible fact.
America’s founders worked human nature into the fabric of the founding documents in order to protect the people from the people who would govern them. According to the founders, governments are instituted for a very simple purpose: To secure life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. They are not instituted to take money from someone else and give it to you so that you live a more comfortable life.
But in the mixed-up, muddled-up, shook-up world that is 21st Century America, lawless, unproductive wussies take to the streets to protest the fact that hard-working Americans are making money. They say the system is rigged, and I agree; it’s rigged to reward those who work hard and aren’t afraid to start at the bottom of the ladder and work their way up.
There is no other nation in the history of the world that has allowed so many from the lowest rungs of the socioeconomic ladder to become wildly rich and successful. This is not possible in the fantastical dream world Magical Mystery Tour of the Occupiers and their ilk, who would love to destroy the pillars upon which our nation’s success was built and lead us into the Strawberry Fields of universal poverty and despair… Forever.
Last night’s CNN Tea Party Debate was a lively affair. This was by far the best debate so far. Wolf Blitzer did a good job of moving the debate forward and there were some great questions. The one issue is that at least two people should be gone. Jon Huntsman and Rick Santorum have no business being on the stage or in the race.
Overall it was a good night for Michele Bachmann and Mitt Romney. Bachmann really nailed Perry on the HVC vaccination business in Texas. It’s Perry versus the world right now and everyone was piling on about this issue. I don’t mean to dismiss it. Perry made a mistake, but there are other issues that are much more important. I don’t see how it cripples him when RomneyCare exists.
Whatever ground Bachmann gained last night has been squandered after the debate. She claimed that the vaccination causes “mental retardation.” The comment is stupid for a variety of different reasons and completely unnecessary.
So where are we?
There are two major players right now. I don’t think Bachmann can get back in the race. She went for Perry’s throat last night, but her weakness is lack of experience and the fact she puts her foot in mouth.
Mitt Romney has RomneyCare. It reeks and I can’t see how he gets the nomination. Rick Perry has some issues with illegal immigration in Texas. No candidate is perfect. If it’s a choice between RomneyCare and a candidate who is soft on illegal immigration I think Perry wins. Right now, there’s no consensus position on illegal immigration. As long as that continues it is a wedge issue. Everyone hates ObamaCare.
Time magazine has announced its 2010 Person of the Year, Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg. I guess this is because of the The Social Network (read my review), maybe? Facebook has been a phenomenon for six years, but other than the movie I’m not sure why Zuckerberg was chosen this year.
Among the other choices was the Tea Party; however, Time only recognizes grassroots political movements when they help Democrats get elected. Here’s Time’s take on the Tea Party.
In a sense, identifying with the Tea Party movement was like catching Beatlemania in the 1960s. People were drawn in for different reasons — the beat, the haircuts, the lyrics — and great gulfs of taste divided the John fans from the Paul fans, the George fans from the Ringo fans.
Smashing success broke the Beatles apart. As 2010 closes, there is no bigger question in U.S. politics than whether the Tea Party will go the same way.
The Beatles broke up because they were a smashing success? That’s news to me and the history of the Beatles. I won’t bother going into the other finalists because they were pointless (see: Chilean Miners). Nothing ate up more political coverage in 2010 than the Tea Party and the epic defeat of the Democrats in Congress. The GOP won 63 seats. The biggest turn in the House in a half century. What more do you want?
Many liberal hipsters who hate corporations have no idea their party of choice spends more than the GOP and gets most of its money from trial lawyers and corporations. In Hipster Dufus World, ignorance is bliss, baby.
Maybe I’m jaded. Maybe it’s because I’m exhausted by the stress of my wife’s brain surgery, but I’m just tired of all the news hyperbole. For example, the Daily Show rally this weekend in D.C. Or should I say, the hipster dufus reaction to the Tea Party. There’s nothing wrong with the rally; it’s just not that big of a deal. Neither was Glenn Beck’s rally. Gauging by the size of the crowds at both events I’m absolutely correct.
The past three months two segments of American culture have been at odds with each other. In one corner is the middle class American voter. They feel betrayed by their government. This group is for low taxes and immigration enforcement. They believe in smaller goverment although no one ever says what programs have to go. I guess the devil is in the details. They’re also leaderless.
The other crowd is the faux educated hipster dufus crowd. For those having a difficult time picturing the typical liberal Daily Show viewer think of Stuff White People Like. These people have been educated to believe white people are the source of every problem known to mankind. When I say “white person” I mean white republican voters because being liberal means never having to say you’re sorry. If there’s one thing that unites both groups it’s the fact they’re both white. You’re not going to find a lot of African Americans at a Glenn Beck or Jon Stewart event or in their studio audiences.
Obviously, the caricature that I’ve painted of both groups is stereotypical. There are things on the list of Stuff White People Like I love like IKEA and the World Cup. Anyway, my main point is that both of these groups have recently held rallies at the National Mall. The size of the rallies by most accounts is the same. The crowd size at both events was roughly 200,000. At first glance that’s a lot of people, but is it really?
The United States is a big place. It’s home to more than 300 million people who are also wealthier than most of the world. 200,000 people is a NASCAR race. 100,000 people is a home game at Michigan. In other words, it’s not that extraordinary. Just last week 200,000 people attended a barbecue festival in North Carolina. The festival has been going for 27 years and I’d never heard about it until this past week.
Someone let me know when there are two million people attending an event and then I’ll be impressed. When FOX News and Comedy Central push an event for weeks and only get 200,000 people, that’s not that big of a deal. So can we move on, please?
Imagine all the people, murdered for Utopia.
I have no faith in humanity. The ironic thing is that the left does. On the one hand the left constantly cries about evil corporations and the racist theocrats populating the Tea Party, then on the other expects us to entrust everything to a corrupt centralized bureaucracy.
The left is very selective about the inherent goodness of humanity and who, exactly, inherited this supposed goodness. Apparently, those of us who believe in limited government and that our rights are endowed by the Creator did not receive this magical gift of goodness. We are racist homophobes who also hate children.
The entire concept of denigrating one group of people and painting them as evil incarnate whilst imaging all the people living life in peace as we progress toward some secular humanist Utopia is the definition of irrational.
Please keep in mind that each time someone has envisioned Utopia and then seized the power necessary to make it happen that literally millions were murdered or shipped off to various types of camps for “re-education.” That’s the problem with Utopia; it requires the elimination of those who haven’t hopped on board the Utopian Express.
Ultimately, it’s a spiritual issue. Utopians are, if not anti-God, anti-religion. If they’re not atheists, apatheists (those who don’t really care either way) or agnostic, they believe in the equality of all religions and that none have a monopoly on the truth, though each religion actually claims to be the one and only truth. In other words, they want their cake, and they’d like to eat it, too, despite the fact that this all-religions-are-equal-I’m-a-spiritual-person-but-not-religious nonsense is an intellectual and spiritual cop-out.
All religions, except for New Age BS, force you to choose. However, you actually have to read the scriptures of that particular religion to get the full story. I would wager that most people who get teary-eyed about the beauty of the world’s religions and how they’ve embraced religious diversity have never actually spent time in the scriptures of the world’s religions.
Then, it’s these same people who turn around and call Tea Party members “tea baggers,” say ugly, deeply personal things about people with whom they disagree and generally treat people as objects. And therein lies the difference between the secular humanist, who loves the idea of people but basically has nothing but contempt for them as individuals, and the right-wing fundamentalist wacko Christian. The ignorant Christian is more likely to see each person as an individual, each with his or her own dignity and worth. That’s why Christians, and particularly fundamentalist Christians, tend to be conservative. Christianity is an individualistic religion that stands athwart of the socialist perspective. It also demands that the listener (or reader) decide. Either you believe that Christ was who He says He was – that is, the savior of the whole world – or you don’t. C.S. Lewis in Mere Christianity put it best:
“A man who was merely a man and said the sort of things Jesus said would not be a great moral teacher. He would either be a lunatic – on the level with a man who says he is a poached egg – or he would be the devil of hell. You must take your choice. Either this was, and is, the Son of God, or else a madman or something worse. You can shut Him up for a fool or you can fall at His feet and call Him Lord and God. But let us not come with any patronizing nonsense about His being a great human teacher. He has not left that open to us.”
The Christian believes that, as John wrote in his Gospel, “…men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.” And, they include themselves as indicted and convicted in this verdict. They are no better than their fellow man, and this understanding undergirds all of the beliefs that follow, from individual relationships to politics.
Because the Christian believes in the inherent depravity, not the innate goodness of humanity, including himself, he believes in limited government. After all, if humanity is motivated by selfish aims is it really a good idea to entrust individual control to a small group of powerful people?
I’ve noticed an interesting common thread between people who lean both left and right. When you get into a discussion about the relative corruption of one political party or the other, they’ll say, “Well, they’re all pretty corrupt; it doesn’t matter which political party they’re affiliated with.” And I agree with this statement. But if you lean left and believe this to be true, aren’t you arguing against your own ideology? If politicians of all political stripes tend toward corruption, is it really a good idea to entrust them with greater power and more money?
But the progressive seeks to control and manipulate others, using the power of the state to realize their Utopian aims. It’s no different than the priest, pastor or holy man of your choice using their place as God’s spokesman to do the same thing. Given this, and the empirical and well-documented historical track record of mankind, it is only logical to decentralize and minimize the state as much as possible. Otherwise, when the state controls every aspect of the individual, from what he drives to what he eats, the individual is supplanted and liberty is destroyed.
President Lincoln was often described as an "extremist" while he was alive.
I’ve never been quiet about my feelings for Glenn Beck. He just annoys me for a variety of different reasons. Evidently, Beck and others are doing a rally at Lincoln Memorial this weekend. Instead of covering the event the Washington Post wants to spin the rally as a plus for Democrats.
But with just a few days before the Beck rally, basic questions linger, including how big it will be and whether the event, which Beck says is nonpolitical, will help or hurt Republicans in November. Also unanswered is whether Beck can pull off the connection to King without creating offense – or confrontation with another event the same day led by the Rev. Al Sharpton.
I have other questions. Will the media manufacture another racism claim? Will the nonpolitical event help or hurt Democrats in November? Also unanswered is whether Sharpton can pull off the connection to Beck without creating offense – or confrontation with another event the same day led by Glenn Beck. One thing is for certain: the Post is hoping for some kind of game-changing headline to cripple the GOP.
The Washington Post article loves to talk about how extreme Glenn Beck is, but what about Al Sharpton? The man is a complete reprobate. The fact the media presents Sharpton as some kind of leader for African Americans is insulting to every flavor, stripe and color of mankind, especially blacks.
Of course the main rhetorical point from an event like this is, “How big is the crowd?” It doesn’t matter how large the crowd is because it doesn’t mean anything. It’s been two years since the ObamaMania tour and what has changed? Almost twice as many Republicans voted in the Florida primary than Democrats. Those large crying crowds are just a memory now. They symbolize the nature of crowds. They are like a vapor, much like mainstream press coverage.
“The jaws of power are always open to devour, and her arm is always stretched out, if possible, to destroy the freedom of thinking, speaking, and writing.”
John Adams
Ever since people started reporting on and analyzing the news on the Internet and other new media outside the traditional media outlets, the traditional media has been going through its own version of the Kubler-Ross Five Stages of Grief…
Denial… “This can’t be happening.”
Anger… “Who the hell do these pajama-clad people think they are?”
Bargaining… “Okay. We hate you, so we’ll start doing the same thing.”
Depression… “Our business model sucks and we’re going out of business.”
Acceptance… “Everything will be okay since I can get a federal bailout and have the feds regulate and harass my competition out of business, all in the name of some nebulous public good!”
Fake but accurate: When traditional "journalists" are sure something's true but have no evidence, it's time to go to Kinko's! Image from michellemalkin.com.
Whenever a high-profile blogger gets it wrong, jumps the gun or takes something out of context, the traditional media launches into “I-told-you-so” mode, most recently and notably with the Breitbart/Shirley Sherrod fiasco. However, when one of their own does it, there’s nothing to see (Rathergate).
The traditional media would like nothing better than to consolidate their power in such a way that everyone but the traditional media is held accountable for their actions. I think they call it “accountability journalism,” or what I like to call “baby talk.”
This begs the question: who fact-checks the fact-checkers? Who holds those who wield the sword of accountability accountable? What the traditional media desire is a monopoly on accountability, which is convenient for a demonstrably biased group advancing specific political and ideological agendas. As “gatekeepers” they will ensure the unwashed masses stay outside the gates. Safely inside the gates, the gatekeepers can do whatever the hell they want. Who needs transparency when the gatekeepers are so ethically and morally pure?
Was Breitbart held accountable for posting an out-of-context video? Certainly. Now that the entire video is out and people can see it for themselves they can make their own judgment about it without a monopolistic “accountability” filter designed to tell them what to think.
Fake but accurate: Filmed from multiple angles with hundreds of cell phone cameras recording at the same moment, not one person has come forth with evidence that Tea Partiers screamed racial epithets at black Congressmen who purposely walked the gauntlet to incite the racism that supposedly infuses the Tea Party movement. The accusation may be fake, but the traditional media decided it was accurate so there was no need to verify the veracity of the claims. Now that's accountability journalism!
By the same token, when the media reported with absolute certainty that the N-word was hurled more than a dozen times at black legislators purposely running the Tea Party gauntlet on Capitol Hill, the blogosphere cast serious doubt on this assertion. The traditional media’s reaction? Ignore the evidence and mindlessly repeat a lie since it fits their worldview and narrative.
The traditional media believes the Tea Party is racist, primarily because the Tea Party opposes the first black president’s agenda. In the traditional media narrative, opposition to Obama equals racism. So if A=B is true, then naturally the stuff we make up, C, is true, even if it really didn’t happen.
Rathergate was based on the same thinking. Dan Rather and his colleagues at CBS believed that George W. Bush was a nincompoop and a shirker so they didn’t waste any time double-checking the documents sent to them by a dubious source that helped prove the point. When the documents were shown to be obvious forgeries, Rather and the traditional media circled the wagons. Their final defense? Fake but accurate! I don’t know about you, but I prefer news that’s genuine and accurate.
So, while the traditional media whines and moans about the lack of accountability in the blogosphere, talk radio and Fox News, we’re actually living in a time of hyper-accountability. You can’t publish, post or air anything without someone somewhere holding you to account.
There are obvious drawbacks to this Wild West information age, such as the ease of defamation, but that’s a trade-off I’m willing to make. Information is power, and once concentrated in too few hands it is dangerous.
Well, I guess the Tea Party movement is racist. I’ve been going back and forth on this question for a few months, but now the world’s foremost authority on racism, the NAACP, is considering a resolution “decrying the racist elements in the tea-party movement.” That’s a harsh indictment of the Tea Party. What are the racist elements, you ask?
Among the charges lodged against the tea party in the resolution:
- Tea party supporters have engaged in “explicitly racist behavior” and “displayed signs and posters intended to degrade people of color generally and President Barack Obama specifically.”
- Tea party activists have used racial epithets, have verbally and physically abused black members of Congress and others, and have been charged with threatening public officials.
- Tea party supporters also have a distorted view of race relations, the resolution says, citing poll data that found that 25 percent believe that the Obama administration’s policies favor blacks over whites, and 52 percent believe that “too much” has been made of the problems facing black people, compared with 28 percent of the general population.
Let’s start with the first point: signs that degrade President Obama. Unless you believe President Obama is the first President to ever be degraded that argument doesn’t hold water. Simply being opposed to Obama is equal to racism? I mean, really?
The second point… No one in the Tea Party movement has been charged with threatening public officials. As far as verbal abuse is concerned, the only thing we have to go on is the word of lying Congressmen who failed to produce any video or audio evidence in a crowd of thousands. You can’t wink in a crowd these days and not get filmed by eight different people.
The last point is the weakest (and that’s saying something). African-Americans are supposed to be outraged over some random poll that says the Obama administration favors blacks over whites? How many people in the NAACP believe that the Bush administration favored whites over blacks? I don’t even need the answer to that question and I simply don’t care.
The real question is this: What does the NAACP hope to accomplish wasting its time on such nonsense? Why does the NAACP keep supporting a national party that’s not helping blacks, and is, in fact, hampering blacks by trying their best to make selected minorities dependents and wards of the state. Idiotic resolutions do nothing to help people and only marginalize the organization.
It’s been awhile since I’ve written about Twitterspace, but every once in awhile I run into some crazy liberals there. Today I was just minding my own business, watching the Braves play and following the #Braves hashtag on Twitter. That’s when I ran into this guy. KCYeti is another member of the not-so-kind-and-gentle progressive left. I should add that his Twitter feed isn’t exactly family friendly. Here’s his take on Braves fans:
I know, I know, I’m picking on one guy in Kansas and frankly he’s had worse things to say about the Twins. This is just another example of a faux enlightened individual who cloaks his disgusting personality under the guise of progressive political superiority. This is what happens to people when they spend their free time reading The Daily Kos. That type of leftest fringe thought process makes anything easy to believe. It’s easy to pick on Atlanta Braves fans when you believe they’re all inferior racist tea party nutjobs. Just imagine if I ran across this guy and the topic was the Astros or Rangers! Hitler analogies, here we come!
It’s one thing when some Manhattan snob looks down at the South, but as I mentioned earlier Kirk Harris is from Kansas (not that there’s anything wrong with that). Who knew that Kansas was the new bastion of elite philosophical political thought? Then again, maybe it’s not. How stupid do you have to be to Tweet about the Braves anyway?
