Legacies
Cecil the Lion
 |
| "Go away, kid, ya bother me!" |
After all the hoopla about the "trophy" hunting of poor Cecil, an interesting observation of animal behavior has been largely ignored. And that is natural selection. When a male lion is killed, a rival alpha male comes in and takes over the pride and takes the deceased's female too. But to ensure that the new male's bloodline is furthered, he summarily kills the cubs spawned by the dead lion. That's what happened here. After Cecil becomes wall art or game room rug, ol' Jericho sides right in to bed Cecil's mate, and while he's at it, he engages in a little infanticide, just to be sure it's his progeny that survives. Aw, how terrible. No, it's not. It's natural selection. The strong live on, the weak die off. It's us humans who try to force human emotions onto animal behavior, and it's folly to do so. Think if the opposite were true: what if humans emulate animal behavior. Either no man would ever take on the duties of raising another man's children, even if he was the new male in the mother's life, or infanticide would be an acceptable practice. Divorce would have predictable and rather permanent consequences. And adoption would be unknown. But humans are civilized and animals are not. So with human population hovering around 7 billion, Cecil's legacy may well be a question for us to ponder as to which system is the wiser.

| Tattered and Torn, But not Down |
Readers of these pages know how I feel about this administration, but let me clarify for those who don't. I consider the Kenyan and his regime to be illegitimate, unlawful, seditious and traitorous. I believe, from the Kenyan's own utterances, that it is his intent to destroy the idea of America as a philosophy as well as a highly successful culture. That is what he considers to be his legacy - the total transformation of America. In this endeavor he has been successful. The country is divided as it hasn't been since 1860. As a world power, not only as a safe haven for individual liberty, for the equal application of law over tyranny, for holding military ambitions of rogue states at bay, and as a stable store of monetary value, America under this regime has been emasculated. Not a surprising goal for a self hating homosexual mulatto who has laser-focused his hatred toward white, Christian, lawful, civilized American culture into an eight year campaign of destruction. He aids our enemies, he snubs and hampers our allies, he divides us internally, he preens and gloats as the globalists' unseen hand corrupts our highest courts into legitimizing his unconstitutional and blatantly illegal edicts. Can we recover? Only time - and a new leader - will tell.
The Donald
No one can doubt the impact Donald Trump has had on the campaign for the 2106 Presidential elections. His popularity continues to soar, as the gilded class and political elites have come to acknowledge. But why? How can a brash, loud, arrogant, self promoting New Yawker resonate with so many Americans? I think the reasons are simple. One reason is that he says what Americans themselves want to say, but cannot articulate in no-nonsense in your face terms that Trump can. The media and the political class have been castrated by political correctness, which is actually the application of censorship and tyranny, and they tend to dance around issues in ways Americans find not only objectionable, but clearly insane. Gun control doesn't work; we need more gun control. Illegal aliens beak the law; let's make them voting citizens. Iran is the world's premier sponsor of terror; let's give them a nuke and 150 billion dollars Muslims are the purveyors of terror; let's conduct surveillance on Americans. Insane, yes, but that's what this government - run by Democrats and Republicans alike - does. It drives American crazy, and Trump points it our for everyone to see. Of course the GOP hates him. Of course the Democrats and the media mock him. They're scared to death of him. And they should be. He faces down the media, and cannot be bullied. He's arrogant and braggadocios, but he says what he means and means what he says. And Americans hunger for that kind of alpha male, John Wayne style uncorruptible manliness. In a nation of politically correct emasculated pussies, he's a man among men. He may never be president, but what he's done is show candidates that they can stand up to the left's constant ridicule of all things American. Like all bullies, when you take them on, they wilt back in cowardice. That's the Donald's legacy: Balls in politics. Let's hope the political class pays attention.
