RE: “Divisive”? – O yah. Sez who?

Sra. Santiago,

In Houston, Texas, a disgruntled Hillary Clinton supporter – as if there were any other kind – festooned her pick-up truck with a “F#&K Trump” sign. She added “F#&K you if you voted for him”. Not exactly reminiscent of the Burke/Fox or the Webster/Calhoun debates but, more importantly, do you think it was “divisive”?

Forget his politics for the nonce. By any standards, standards being something not to be found in the typical modern American Liberal lock box, Congressman Carlos Curbelo is Hispanic. He was denied membership in the Hispanic Congressional Caucus

because he is a Republican. Do you think it was “divisive”?

Clio, my dominant Muse, commands me to go Historical. 3 times in 48 years American Presidents promised “to not send American boys to fight in foreign wars”. A case could obviously be made for lying but, worse, do you think it was “divisive”?

There is a billboard in New Jersey, my home state, thank you, that shows a shooter in the kneeling position aiming his rifle. The caption reads “the only time we take a knee”.

Naturally, the POO [Perpetually Outraged and Offended] are, you guessed it, outraged and offended. The NAACP, and when was the last time you could use the word “colored” without having a visit from the dreaded Word Police, says it is racist. Again, and more importantly, do you think it is “divisive”

Cuba, Venezuela, Zimbabwe, and North Korea have 2 things in common. Other than the 1% holding the whip handle they are disastrous, totally and abjectly, for the people living there. The other thing is that they are, top to bottom, front to back, Socialist. 

Senator Sanders and Senator Lieawatha Warren tell us of the inevitability of Socialism .Is it time to have Kumbaya replace the National Anthem? Again, do you think it is “divisive”?

Get back to me, por favor. I am here on my unicorn ranch and manatee sushi plant trying to get a bumper crop from my rainbow stew bushes and balloon juice trees. All organic, of course, with no carbon footprint. Just trying to undrown those baby seal eating polar bears. “Inclusive”, no?
