Yes, it’s disappointing that he doesn’t have more insight on this.
Everybody should read “Book of the Dun Cow”. Keillor and most “polite” Americans who look at Trump exclusively Keillor’s way are the ducks who go out to welcome the basilisks, not realizing that the basilisks were agents of Wurm who had no purpose but to swarm the land, annihilating everybody in their path. Chauntecleer fights the basilisks but all the ducks can see is that he’s “mean”.
Hillary, Obama, and the ruling class are the Eddie Haskells who smile and say “Thank you, Mrs. Cleaver” while they deliberately open up your chicken coop so all the animals can come in and wreak carnage while those same so-couth leaders shed crocodile tears. Who will America choose: the bully who calls a spade a spade and roots for Americans, or the Eddie Haskells who for the sake of “niceness” will sell everybody but the Muslim basilisks down the river with a smile except for the crocodile tears when the basilisks’ work is openly seen?
Keillor doesn’t get it.
I had listened to this man on the radio for a while. It seemed to me that I was a lone person in thinking that his humour is really a put down of ordinary folks. In particular his jokes about the Lutherans, though one could see this as a bit of harmless ribbing. Never felt comfortable with this "humorist".
I noted you had not posted for about seven weeks Butterdezillion. I was going to freemail you, but now I see you are up and running so to speak. Nice to get your take.
