You really have to admire the conservative mind. There is something absolutely endearing about the way they can't help but drive huge throngs of minorities straight into the arms of the democratic party.
NBC reports that Donald Trump spoke to the faithful last night in a weird off the cuff speech at the Conservative Political Action Conference. He first told the crowd that they needed to leave what the GOP calls entitlements alone. You know, stuff like medicare, social security and medicaid. This star burst of liberalism quickly went down the drain when it came to immigration reform. Mr. Trump believes immigration reform, when it applies to Hispanics, is a dangerous thing for the republican party. He sternly warned the audience that, "Every one of those 11 million illegal immigrants will be voting democratic and you have to be very careful. Odds are its not looking so great for republicans. You're on a suicide mission--you're just not going to get that vote."
Then came the coup de grace. According to Donald Trump, "Europeans who want to immigrate to the United States and who have children who do well at American universities should be allowed to stay." In other words if they aren't brown and look like everyone else in this room, hell yes, welcome them with open arms.
Today's speaker is Mitt Romney, who was last seen telling a conservative gathering that 47% of the population is welfare dependent and considers itself victims. That was right before Barak Obama handed him his head in the November election.
On Wednesday night former crooner Pat Boone appeared on Fox News. He is not a fan of Mr. Obama. In the past he has accused the president of being a Kenyan Muslim. The other night he claimed Barak Obama was a socialist and he wanted a society where no one got rich and the government controlled every aspect of an individuals life.
Someone needs to let Wall Street in on that news. The next day the Dow hit a record high of 14,539.14. Today MSN Now is reporting the number of Americans who have a net worth of $1 million dollars or more, not counting property, has risen to 8.99 million, an increase of 300,000. If this is Marxism then old Karl is spinning in his grave.
Over in Egypt, Muslim Brotherhood family expert, Mr. Osama Yehia Abu Salama addressed a group of women who are training to be marriage counselors. The New York Times reports that Mr. Salama told the class that when helping a woman who has been beaten by her husband they should "show her how she had a role in what happened to her." The Times went on to say that Mr. Salama assured his audience that, "If he is to blame she shares 30 or 40% of the fault.
In other news the North Koreans released a propaganda video showing homeless people in the U.S. In it they claim everyone here lives on the streets and drinks a government issued one cup of snow coffee a day. The narrator pointed out the lack of birds in the street scenes and announced all the birds were gone because we've eaten them. And in a moment that might play perfectly on Saturday Night Live, a long haired man with a beard dressed in ragged clothes was shown standing in line at a shelter. The North Koreans identified him as a former republican candidate for office. Well who knows? Maybe he is. American politics, after all, is a ruthless business. Eat or be eaten, that is the fundamental rule.
Finally, and you knew it would come down to this didn't you, in up state New York Mr. Kurt Myers, age 64 went off his nut Wednesday. Before he was done 4 people and one police dog were dead and two other persons were wounded. He left no note explaining why he did it. A former landlady described him as being very quiet, a loner, and anti social. Police report Mr. Myers didn't have a lot of contact with his family and they have no clue as to why he would wig out in such a deadly fashion. His weapon of choice was a shotgun, which means it didn't have to be registered in New York. His only previous run in with police was a 1973 drunk driving charge.
@GunDeaths and Slate reports that as of Thursday at least 2,963 Americans have been shot to death since the middle of this past December.
Luckily it is Friday.
I think I'll go eat a bird.
