The lady who lets her dog urinate on my mailbox post every morning as they pass on their daily walk is talking to me again. I knew she wouldn’t be able to hold it in much longer this close to the election.
” I can’t wait to see those liars booted out of office ” she said . “Effing Dem’s are constant liars ”
It occurs to me on occasion that their are some very sound reasons why people believe the things they want to believe and as it turns out facts aren’t necessarily one of them. Hold that thought for a moment …
I think I started getting those ” Ya know …. wait a minute ” thoughts way back when we were being “informed ” Obama was a Muslim . Even with no plans of voting for him at that time my Conservative heart secretly knew that a guy who drank beer and ate pork rinds just wasn’t Muslim. Nor did I accept that he may have been born in Kenya and was planning on taking the oath of office on the Koran because I just knew it wasn’t true . So were sown the seeds of doubt followed by an endless row to hoe
I could likely provide a thousand examples but when the dog walker spoke what sprang to mind was when I first heard that a massacre at a school was a hoax perpetrated by “gun grabbers” or when Gen. Michael Flynn spread words from his brief position in Government that Democrats were led by a secret cabal of Satanist cannibalistic pedophiles operating a global child sex trafficking ring …. well , let’s just say I was a little doubtful …. no , let me take that back …. I had no doubt whatsoever I was being lied to . Just like I knew it when word spread that “they” were going use the Covid vaccine to plant chips into us … some things go far beyond the ” Ya know … wait a minute ” but we still don’t question.
Call me gullible if you will, but never for a single moment did I accept the election fraud theory, not even when promised that irrefutable proof would be shown next week … for years . Nor forgive the damage it caused. Describing the scaling of walls and crashing barriers while attacking police prior to smashing the windows and doors of the capitol building as a peaceful protest by tourists exercising their rights is likewise a bit of a stretch in my mind . Can we really be expected to believe that stealing classified government documents and trying to conceal them when caught truly be considered doing nothing wrong and not have that ” wait a minute moment”. Since I’d be in prison just for thinking about it I’d have to say, not to me , but then it looks like I’m in a minority on that one and I’m getting my shoe’s pissed on again like I’m a mailbox post.
On the dog walkers second repeat of ” They lie constantly , the effin Dem’s are liars. They lie about everything ” I think she was surprised when I agreed heartily that she is probably correct, and then I blew it, just like I always do ….
” I know… the lying bastards have tried denying immigrants ate everyone’s dogs and cats in Springfield Ohio and we all know they did right ? I’ve even heard the Dem’s are now actually claiming they can’t control the weather, nor direct the paths of hurricanes to Republican area’s … can you believe it ? ” ….. ” I mean … wait a minute ”
…. and I thought I was making a very truthful statement but I’m guessing from the frown that I’ll likely be getting the cold shoulder again for another three months or so . Now, if you held that thought like I asked above I’m ready to give a prime example of why facts have such little importance on our beliefs .
Why just the other day my Physician informed me it is of great importance that I cut my daily beer consumption down to around 25 % of present intake. She mentioned the possibility of early dementia and the fact that I have an enlarged heart chamber as well as numerous other reasons . ” Ya know … wait a minute ” It’s my firm belief that that no other diagnosis could be more worthy of a second opinion …. after all, 75% less of the daily average is a very serious cut to a very serious beer drinker regardless of any imagined facts or benefits .
… I think my Physician must be a Democrat and her advice will need to be ignored ,
after all, how can I trust the opinion of a medical professional that just might be a Democrat ?
