Frank Advice for Life
Less Useless People
If Republicans want a winning platform, it should be the anti-useless people platform. It seems pretty much all of the Democrats are career politicians who’ve never accomplished anything in their entire lives yet for some unfathomable reason think they’re smart and should be able to tell us all what to do. The reason people are so mad is their just starting to come to grips with how insane that is. Ted Kennedy’s death just amplifies that; what in his entire life suggests he should even give people advice nonetheless make the rules?
Of course, it’s not like Republican politicians are that great either. So I suggest we pass a new Amendment: The Purge. Every so many years, everyone is thrown out of the federal government and banned from politics. This forces us to get a new government every so often and emphasizes the fact to politicians that politics is a temporary thing and eventually you have to get a real job.
Originally, the government was supposed to be so small and limited it didn’t matter what idiots we gave it to. Since that ideal is pretty much gone, let’s at least police a bit better who we give the keys to the car to. Half the Congress probably couldn’t have gotten a job managing a shift at the local Dairy Queen, and yet their trying to take over anything in the economy they can get their grubby little hands on. It’s crazy, and if the Republicans want to succeed they should just keep pointing out how insane that is.
More Ted Kennedy Rememberance
I wrote my thoughts for Pajamas Media and hopefully that should be up tomorrow morning. Anyway, here are a couple articles on Kennedy that I thought were worth sharing:
Random Thoughts – Ted Kennedy Edition
In my whole life I hope I don’t do something as stupid and morally blind as a vote to reelect Senator Ted Kennedy.
Ted Kennedy dies and all I feel is this intense anger at Massachusetts. I mean, really, how could they keep electing that guy?
There was just no way of taking Massachusetts seriously while Ted Kennedy was Senator.
Ted Kennedy RIP – A champion of civil rights for everyone not inside his car. He’ll be missed.
Small consolation for Mary Jo Kopechne: Yesterday she got to be a trending topic on Twitter. Would mean more if she lived to see the internet.
Is thinking you shouldn’t be in politics after drowning a woman and fleeing the scene a right-wing Christian extremist thing?
I’ll certainly refrain from saying bad things about him if others who didn’t know him personally refrain from saying nice things. Compromise.
I’ll say this: There was never a more instructive example of what a liberal truly is than Senator Ted Kennedy.
Many who trash Kennedy now are putting politics before decency… but no more so than anyone who voted to reelect him after what he did.
You have to admit, if the worst that comes out of Chappaquiddick is a blemish on Ted Kennedy’s memorial, he got off really easy.
Who did Ted Kennedy run against? Ax murderers? Pedophiles? I feel like I’m in crazy world!
I guess until now I just never came to grips with how absolutely insane the existence of Ted Kennedy was.
Ted Kennedy served in the Army. There’s something he did which is actually a good example to follow.
It’s not the anger at Ted Kennedy that’s political. It’s the lack of anger from others.
They should name the health care bill after Ted Kennedy to remind people how bloated, harmful, and amoral it is.
I don’t want to be an angry partisan, but a man has to know his limitations.
I don’t think liberals quite understand what a giant joke Ted Kennedy was to most Americans.
Say what you want about Ted Kennedy, but the size and shape of his head was quite fascinating.
I’ll promise not saying anything else bad about Ted Kennedy if liberals promise not to resurrect him as a cyborg zombie.
Actual question: Outside of the Beltway and morons in MA, is Ted Kennedy considered anything other than a punchline?
Considering the standard Ted Kennedy set, why should Mark Sanford leave?
