The Other Side of the Edge…..
Spin, on Steroids,….or is it??
By Joe Facinoli

Nope. Sorry. Not buyin’ it.

Nobody, especially not the President, can be this stupid,….this arrogantly, blatantly, cluelessly in-your-face, mystifyingly stupid,.….if not on purpose.

We’re looking at all this mess through the prism of logic, and of common sense, and of the way it’s always been, and the way we remember it being, and the way we still want it to be.

But it’s none of that. Not now,….not after what happened.

Call it what you might, but it’s not your father’s federal government, nor his way of transacting the people’s business, nor his method of using democracy, the system, nor even the Constitution,….anymore.

Not since the “New Kids” came onto the block, five years ago.

The gang with a plan, and who doesn’t need YOU to pull it off, nor to make it happen. And they ain’t afraid of you, neither.

It’s like they’re like the only ones with the Internet, and tablets and laptops, while the rest of the country is still stuck with rotary phones.

They’re like the biggest bullies in the neighborhood, who walk around with baseball bats and switchblades, and who laugh at rules, tradition, and even laws, while the best defense the rest of us can come up with is: “I’m tellin’ !!”

They can say, and do, anything they want, and we have no idea what to do with them. They lie to us, they cheat us, and they make stuff up. Anything, doesn’t matter how it sounds, nor whether or not we believe it. It’s going to be their way.

They push us aside, along with all convention, or any notion of doing the right thing, stopping at nothing, until they get what they’re after.

And when we do muster enough gumption, or indignation, or just get so head-against-the-wall confused as to how these people can operate the way they do, that we finally call them on their methods and tactics, and their so-called “principles”, well, …they merely stand up real tall, stretch out one of their muscle bound arms, then lean over to us and say: “Tell it to the hand, little people”, just before they spit on our collective foreheads.

No, no one is as stupid as what’s been on display these past few weeks from the White House, and from the Executive branch of the federal government, which this current administration runs so connivingly well.

Nope, not a chance. Dumb, like a fox, and as sly as one, is more like it.

I’m not usually a “conspiracy theorist”, despite how enticing and compelling they can be, sometimes.

I believe that Lee Oswald acted alone (although he probably beat four or five other groups to the punch), that Neil and Buzz actually did a “real” moon walk, long before Michael Jackson (and not on some sandlot in New Mexico), that George Bush and friends blew up NO buildings on New York’s skyline on 9/11, and that 12 to 50 million beautiful people really did die in the Holocaust.

But this one’s different.

This one, ….with this incredible, and completely unbelievable and unacceptable behavior and methodology, only leaves us with two choices:

1. Conspiracy (to do irreparable, self-serving, socialistic harm to our nation, under the guise of true democracy, and by promising hope and change, to the downtrodden and hapless), …or,

2. …sheer and seamless Stupidity, in trying to run and lead this great country.

And whichever bears out, ….neither is good.

Either, we have a leader, and a large group behind him, who are Gomer Pyle, Lindsay Lohan, Beavis and Butthead, Ron Burgundy, dense as a sweet potato Stupid, who ignore all facts and truths, logic, and common sense,….

….Or,

.…this is the most clever cabal of cunning, duplicitous, and clandestine characters since the 1920’s, when a guy named Lenin convinced a bunch of gullible Russians that socialism (with his brand of that, being much worse) was the “only” way.

I told you, …you wouldn’t like it. It’s the political equivalent of a “Sophie’s Choice”. Both are tragic, and, it seems, we are being forced to choose one.

While their unwavering march towards the bringing of their wanton style of perverted, governmentally controlled socialism to this country has been relentless, it has not been without its pratfalls and moronic episodes of utter ineptness, and inexperience, even within their narrow framework of goals.

So, ….perhaps we’re getting a “two-fer”: morons, imbeciles, and dullards, guiding a stumbling, bumbling transfer of power from the people, to a ruling class of politically well-connected insiders, and their media and corporate sponsors, and calling it a “middle class revolution”.

Oh goodie. I hope they don’t ration suppositories, in the new healthcare.

And speaking of trainwrecks, “Obamacare”, or the unworkable, unmarketable, and Un-Affordable Care Act, is just another hammer (make that a sledge hammer) in this President’s tool box, crafted with specific purpose, to frustrate an already exasperated general public.

Next step is a “Single Payer”, even more government controlled, health and medical system in this country.

Then, between all the government workers (4 million people), all the contractors who work directly, and nearly exclusively, with the Defense Dept. (untold millions), all the welfare and food stamps “takers” (48 million get the stamps, 47% of the populace get something from the trough), and then adding on top of that, the 20% of the workforce and economy who toil in the health industry, the White House and the federal boys and girls will have a practical majority of all voters on their side (whether they want to be, or not) before BHO, or Hillary, or whichever “Progressive” is next, even wakes up in the morning!

Wonderful. And diabolical. I hope they don’t ration booze (or heroin), in the new healthcare system. We’re gonna need every drop.

Saul Alinsky, Karl Marx, Vladimir Lenin, Cesar Chavez, Angela Davis, Stokely Carmichael, and more than a couple “profs” from Columbia University, would be very proud of their boy Barry.

A hackneyed old phrase, goes something like: “Those who can,…do,…and those who can’t,.…teach”. Well, that certainly sells teachers waaayy short, so I prefer to say it more accurately as: “…..those who can’t,….organize.”

That’s what our President, and all those folks listed above, do best,….organize.

They band together all the “have-nots” (or willful “do-nothings”), in opposition to all the producers and do-ers of the world,….the “haves”, and demand that all that bad ol’ profit (the new “four letter word” for the socialists and Libs, today), which the “haves” work so hard every single day to make, be immediately shared.

Now, you can say that ain’t going to happen, and you can believe whatever you want, …but you better start paying attention, and you better start saving and stashing your money, in places where the sun (nor any-one, nor any-thing else) doesn’t get to, very often,…..cuz they’re comin’ for it.

And because this group of “Stupid” used car salesmen, just sold you a ’69 Ford Pinto, with three tires, and two cylinders, and they own the only repair shop in town.

And you paid cash. And then thanked them for it.

Shame, shame,….America. Get busy.
