I'm not sure if I'm an old white guy yet, but I'm definitely getting there. It's totally okay with me. I love the 47%. Do you know who they are? They're my countrymen. And you know what? If I can give them things and that promotes the General Welfare, here you are 47%.
I have a real father and no need whatsoever for a fascist poseur who would like to have a son like me. My father is an old white man and you know what? He's of the same opinions. Are we smart? Are we dumb? I don't know but I do know that we're winners and that the old white guys who "want their country back" are dead enders, purveyors of a dying ideology that didn't work out very well by any measure.
Is it smart to be a purveyor of a dying ideology that didn't work out very well? I would think someone who was so much smarter than I am would be right about something every now and then.
And then there's the hyperbole. "Messiah?" Really? Someone who is so smart ought to be more creative and original even if they're on the outside looking in. Repetitive use of silly epithets isn't impressive, or an indication of any real intelligence.
The USA is 4 me, the real one and not some nostalgic vision of what some fascist imagined it to be in the 1950s. No, the creepy fascist who waxes nostalgic doesn't need the USA. This person needs John Galt's island. This person needs to flee and prove Ayn Rand's third rate science fiction fantasy once and for all. Go. Take your ball and go, like any demoralized pre-adolescent Ayn Rand cultist will do. Show us. Show us how much we need you.
