What Matt sees as a pyramid, I have long seen as a totem pole. Same difference, though — although I never put in multipliers like he does. It’s more about who whines the most.
Among polled voters in the five-person race, 19% said it was either very likely (3%) or somewhat likely (16%) that they might change their mind about who to support before the election.
Those people are beeping out a flatline, loud and clear and annoying. Quick! The paddles! Code blue!
I was hoping to get in before the pissemists who always say (when something goes right for us): “It won’t change anything; it won’t do any good.”
I have to believe there’s always hope. I think it’s why Joshua told the Israelites to keep their mouths shut as they circled Jericho. He knew of their propensity to bellyache about God and His leaders.
I also think about Gen. Washington losing battle after battle, from pillar to post, until they finally were able to administer the coup de grace in the end. That’s how patriotic Americans think.
Opinions vary, too, on liking/disliking Trump. I like him.
I get it about voting pro-2A and pro-Israel. I personally think that the razor-sharp ideological divide is much broader than those 2 issues (although they are certainly included).
In the broader picture, the ideological divide is basically over Marx/Freud/Darwin, on the one side, as over against the Bible and Constitution, on the other. The former position is entirely fantasy and insanity. The latter is reality and sanity. As Kipling said, “Never the twain shall meet”.
Opinions will vary on the proper amount of exposure Trump needs this go-round. But I certainly don’t want him to “shut up” because he speaks for me what I want to speak for myself. I do speak, but precious few hear me.
I’m amused at myself for reading the headline and it got my attention when I at first glance thought it was about that player the Suns drafted, Allen Grayson == a youngster running for Senate.
