Dissing The Dissers

THE LATE SENATOR JOHN McCAIN, all good law abiding god fearing Americans ought to agree, with all due respect, was and shall forever remain a great American war hero, patriot, and public servant. We liberal Democrats ought to especially believe this, because of the Senator's nearly unique willingness to compromise with and respect liberal Democrats, aside from his nearly six years in captivity in a North Vietnamese prison. Those who fear God, which certainly seems like a strange and inappropriate entity to fear, for those who believe in a loving and just God, should respect and emulate the late Senator, because rather then fearing god, McCain seems to have loved and embraced the universe's designer and creator, fearlessly, thus providing a new and improved role model for those fearful of deities of any sort. Love and admiration might seem a better way to react to god than fear. But, I digress. Enter Donald Trump, resident white House chief prevaricator and purveyor of nonsensical policy and hollow platitudes. Recall that he said he did not consider military personnel who are captured to be heroes, because they were, well, captured. As if fighter pilots should first outrun veritable bevvies of incoming surface to air missiles, and then, failing that, should, upon hitting the ground, be able to outrun and elude, or engage and destroy, entire platoons of enemy combatants in unfamiliar territory, without assistance. When McCain died, every flag in freedom's land was lowered to half way up the flag pole -except the one at the White House. The responsible party was, quite naturally, the Prevaricator in Chief his lonesome. Trump does not tolerate criticism well, especially when it is accurate, and responds by blatantly disrespecting those who render it, especially when they are dead, and unable to defend their own honor. Trump like targets of opportunity, like all cowards and bullies. Trump kisses the cruel asses of cruel dictators, to avoid their wrath, and launches endless attacks America's best friends - again, easy targets. Enter James Imhoff, long time Senator from Oklahoma, who reveals his ignorance and stupidity almost daily, primarily by refusing to accept the reality of human made climate change, thus revealing himself to be a traitor, but for holding many other incredibly stupid policy positions as well. One is a traitor is one refuses to even acknowledge, let alone combat, an enemy which the United States Department of Defense long identifies as the nation's greatest national security threat, which is exactly what the D.O.D. classifies climate change caused by human industrial production, especially within the oil industry, Imhofff's greatest benefactor. Senator stupid (Imhoff) recently said in an interview that McCain was partly responsible for Trump's disrespectful treatment of him, by virtue of having criticized the president. Imhoff, the king of Senatorial clowns, is apparently unable to grasp the fact that when one criticizes the U.S. president fairly, accurately, and respectfully, which is exactly what McCain did, one is a patriot and good public servant. In all fairness, one can hardly expect morons, lunatics and traitors like Trump and Imhoff to grasp this essential aspect of life in a purported democracy which long ago legalized free speech.
