Ben Affleck is a big liberal jerk...

Why I think Ben Affleck is a big liberal jerk.  It has been reported in the tabloid news that Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner were divorcing after however many years of marriage. When we first heard it, some were surprised thinking that this came out of left field. I personally, was not surprised.  Number one, Hollywood couples rarely do well. The atmosphere in Hollywood is not conducive to being married. It seems like a spouse in Hollywood is merely an accessory or a business partner to help promote your career. 

Besides the Hollywood thing, the reason why I wasn’t surprised with their split up was because I think Ben Affleck is a big liberal jerk. Jennifer on the other hand seems to be more balanced. I watched Ben on a Bill Maher episode when Bill and Sam Harris were discussing how liberals have dropped the ball on criticizing Muslims out of fear of being labeled anti-Muslim or whatever the correct term is. Ben’s reaction proved their exactpoint. 

Ben is the typical liberal who, when you are trying to discuss or debate an issue. They get all mad and start throwing out insults at whoever they are debating, instead of giving a rational counterpoint to why he may think that their stance is wrong. For some reason Affleck has embraced the Muslim religion and now takes it personal if you dare criticize their doctrine.

Unlike Liberals, I am not looking to eradicate all things Democrat or Liberal. Liberals want to reign supreme and eliminate everything that is Conservative or Republican. I believe that we need a balance of both to have steady progression that is at a reasonable pace. 

That is why I think that Liberals get so angry. One, they base their beliefs on emotion or the concept of something. And two, they do not want ANY opposite views expressed. When I debate or have a heated discussion, I actually listen to the opposing viewpoint and determine the correct response that would express my beliefs or counter argument. A Liberal will hear maybe one or two key words or just may only understand the topic being discussed. They don’t truly listen to the opposing view. They stew about how angry they are that someone can think so stupidly on an issue that is so obvious and then they will lash out with insults because they weren’t even listening to you, just waiting to yell their side. I think I just described Ben Affleck. Hence, why I wasn’t surprised at their divorce.

Meme of the week....

Smokescreen and The Donald...

I’m going to go out on a limb and say that when it comes to politics, everything is on purpose.  That may be a pretty solid limb, but I said it.

I’ve been getting a big kick out of Donald Trump and his antics.  He’s kind of like a living and breathing political comic. Some of the things he says will resonate with a lot of Americans. As a political comic, he will offend you, but will get whatever his point is, across to the reader. But, this is not the point of my commentary today, just an observation.

While watching The Donald and seeing all the media coverage he is getting, I start to get suspicious. This brings me back to my first comment about everything in politics being on purpose. Maybe I’m a bit tainted from watching House of Cards, maybe a little. 

I’m thinking that the GOP is kind of beating the Media at their own game. Let’s distract the Media with someone very colorful and attention getting. This will get us closer to election time without the Media doing its typical bashing of all the “good” candidates (there’s actually only one good one). By the time they realize that they have been duped, the voters will have already made up their minds and it may actually be a more educated decision without all the Media fodder to muddy the waters.

This is where my Smokey and the Bandit comparison come to play.  Trump is the black Trans Am that distracts the Smokey’s (the Media) from the real purpose of getting the shipment of Coors beer to the finish line. Just in case you were wondering, Rand Paul is the beer and of course the finish line is Election Day. I almost don’t want to post this and give the mainstream Media a heads up, but I love using classic movies to make my points.

The last election, the Media had way too much time herding us towards a losing candidate and ignoring Ron Paul. They succeeded in a second term for our glorious Commander in Chief that broke the barriers of racism (he actually made things worse) and upheld the Constitution (he actually weakened it). This plan may actually work! Go Bandit Go!

Empty Trains...

Recently the Senate Appropriations Committee has approved a measure to increase the length of a Tandem Truck from 28 feet to 33 feet. Safety advocates are concerned about the impact this will have on our roads and highways. 

Currently, I drive an hour and a half to work each day and listen closely to the traffic reports on the radio in order to safely make it to my office. During days of bad weather it is very common to hear of a tractor trailer over turned or jackknifed.  Needless to say that when there is a tractor trailer versus car accident, the occupants of the cars usually come out on the losing end.  

In the U.S.A. we have an excellent railway system.  I had a conversation with a railroad employee a few years back and was told that the trains are underutilized. Often the train cars are not filled or even empty. A train car can carry a much larger load than a tractor trailer that has weight limits. In Europe there are countries that require items that are being shipped over 50 miles go by railway. I know for a fact that there are truck routes here in the U.S. that travel cross country.

 Less wear and tear on our roadways, more environmentally friendly, less congestion on the highways and less chance of fatal accidents involving tractor trailers. I’m always seeing advertising for more and more truck drivers needed to keep up with the demand. If that demand is transferred to trains, those jobs could be also transferred to the railroad companies. It just makes sense.
