I have to smile at
the post-election antics of our Hollywood “Stars”. After threatening, repeatedly, to “leave the country” or “go to
Canada” if Mr. Trump won the election, I’ve noticed that since Mr. Trump won
after all, en-mass they seem to be reneging on their campaign promise. I understand that the weather in Canada is
“too cold” all the sudden, or that it’s probably “to far” from the studio. I’d also suspect that they’re somewhat
concerned that Canada would deny them the political asylum that would further
their publicity stunt. Besides that,
would any of ‘em really want to trade their cushy Malibu mansions for a life among
all those “uncultured” rustic Canadians?
Oddly enough, with all the sudden concern about their reception in
Canada, I haven’t heard of any of ‘em moving to Mexico either! They’re probably worried about Mexico
deporting them back to the U.S.! (I wonder
if we could refuse their return?)
Mike Pence’s trip
to the theater didn’t end as badly as Abe Lincoln’s either, but I can just hear
those entitled actors shouting “Sic semper tyrannis!” at him. They had the gall to lecture Pence on the
founding “ideals” of the country even as they throw infantile tantrums about
those supposedly antiquated principles.
Of course those “ideals” they refer to originated, not in 1776, but more
like 1966. And they’re not even ideals, but are little more than totalitarianism
in which “freedom” and “justice” have no meaning apart from whatever liberals
want at any given moment. Perhaps the
drug scene has fried their brains? As
one pundit put it, “At this rate, John Wilkes Booth may end up with a star
on Hollywood’s walk of fame”, and I’m sure they’re mourning the recent death of
that bastion of liberal thinking, Fidel Castro.
Apparently they
are in a secessionist mood however.
Hollywood Dimocratic liberals are now considering an independent
California through something they call “Calexit.” They would like to leave the
country but without having to go through all the trials and tribulations of
actually relocating to another country.
Besides, they can then elect Hillary as their President without all that
outdated conservative contention, make Obama a justice on their Supreme Court,
and out of our hair. Still, I’d hate to
see the United States break-up and go the way of the Soviet Union, which, with
the exception of Russia has become little more than a loose confederation of
squabbling third world countries.
However, Calexit
might not be all that bad an idea after all…
At least it would solve one set of problems facing our society.
Since the late 1950’s, conservatives and liberals in this
country have more or less stuck together for the sake of
future generations. But our latest election has
made me realize that this relationship has just about run its course. The two ideological sides of America
cannot agree on what is right for us, resulting in social and political stalemate. So, rather than wreck the country with
further rioting and an “unable to do anything” congress, let’s just chalk it up
to irreconcilable differences, split the sheets, and each go our own way.
Here are a few ideas for an equitable separation, adapted from comments in an e-mail I received recently.
Here are a few ideas for an equitable separation, adapted from comments in an e-mail I received recently.
Consider, conservatives don't like liberal redistributive
taxes, so California can keep them.
They’re also welcome to the liberal judges, liberal educators, NBC, the
New York Times, and the ACLU. Since
liberals hate guns and war, the rest of us will take our firearms, the cops,
the NRA, and the US Armed Forces.
They can have wind, solar and biodiesel energy, and
we'll take the smelly oil industry and those nasty coalmines. They can have all the “Smart Cars” they can
find, and we’ll keep the muscle cars, full size pick-ups, and SUV’s. They can
keep Oprah, Michael Moore and Rosie O'Donnell as well, but good luck on finding
a bio-diesel vehicle big enough to move all three of them. We’ll give them Je$$e Jackson and Al
Sharpton as well. You can also have
your beloved ObamaCare, a free college education, lifelong welfare recipients,
hippies, druggies, illegal aliens, peaceniks, wild-eyed environuts, and
assorted protesters. However, I dunno
what you’re going to do for a Big Mac once you get rid of all those
methane-emitting cows. Tofu burgers
perhaps?
We'll keep the Ten Commandments and our
Judeo-Christian values of course, while California is more than welcome to
Islam, Scientology, Humanism, political correctness, and Shirley
McClain. I wonder if we could interest
them in a few wolves and grizzly bears while we’re at it?
We'll keep "The Battle Hymn of the
Republic" and the National Anthem. I'm sure
California would be happy to substitute "I'd Like to Teach the
World to Sing" or "We Are the World" which would probably
attract a lot of rich NFL players.
Additionally, since it often offends them, we'll keep America’s
Constitution, our history, our name, our flag, and capitalism. As it seems to be much more in line with
liberal goals and interests, they can have the Sierra Club, an open border with
Mexico, diplomatic relations with the drug cartels, and the Rainbow Flag.
They’re more than welcome to make nice with Iran and
Palestine, while we'll retain the right to invade, romping and stomping all
over those people and countries that threaten us or our allies. They can also have the U.N. but we
won’t be paying the bills anymore.
Now that I’ve probably succeeded in antagonizing the
entire loony left, and in the spirit of a friendly parting, I'll suggest they
seriously consider which of us will need whose help in the next few years.
