Conservative republican checklist of Presidential attributes.
Bombastic, rude and obnoxious
Interrupts others, talks over them
Insults and berates others who challenge him
Egomaniac
Xenophobic
Blames the media when caught in lies
Got rich by stealing from others and declaring bankruptcy
Dripping in white privilege and entitlement
Impervious to facts
Bumper sticker policy positions and platitudes
Panders to the ignoramuses, the haters, and low information voters
Fans the flames of conspiracy theories
Drum roll……. ta da!
DONALD TRUMP
Why so angry, brainless? Nobody buys your bullshit?
Gee BB,–Other than the reference to “white privilege” (whatever that is?) I genuinely thought you were describing Barrack Obama. No matter,– in just 17months he will be in the same dust bin of History that all his predecessors occupy.
Part of the reason the USA is a nanny police state now is that whenever there is a problem, Americans kneejerk reaction is to call for a new law.
Nanny state laws are not the best solution, however. Nanny state laws lead to more laws, higher fines, and tougher sentences. Thirty years ago, DWI laws were enacted that led DWI checkpoints and lower DWI levels. Seatbelt laws led to backseat seatbelt laws, childseat laws, and pet seatbelt laws. Car liability insurance laws led to health insurance laws and gun liability laws. Smoking laws that banned smoking in buildings led to laws against smoking in parks and then bans against smoking in entire cities. Sex offender registration laws led to sex offender restriction laws and violent offender registration laws.
Nanny state laws don’t make us safer, either. Nanny state laws lead people to be careless since they don’t need to have personal responsibility anymore. People don’t need to be careful crossing the street now because drunkdriving has been outlawed and driving while using a cellphone is illegal. People don’t investigate businesses or carry out due diligence because businesses must have business licences now.
The main point of nanny state laws is not safety. The main purpose of more laws is revenue generation for the state.
Nanny state laws are not even necessary. If everything was legal would you steal, murder, and use crack cocaine? Aren’t there other ways to solve problems besides calling the police? Couldn’t people talk to people who bother them? Couldn’t people be sued for annoying behavior? Even if assault was legal, wouldn’t attackers risk being killed or injured, too? Having no laws doesn’t mean actions have no consequences.
We don’t need thousands of laws when we only need 10.
