Death threats


Apparently, there have been a huge number of death threats made against the current president elect. They range from the stupid to the cruel and ignorant and just about every nasty, slimy place in between. Somehow, the idea of a person of mixed race, one of those being African, throws a spanner in the gears of a certain class of ignorant, lower class white folk. I’ve always assumed these idiots are so lacking in accomplishment that they must bitterly cling to the idea that somebody, somewhere, somehow is more worthless than them, and they come up with black folk. Previous generations of these pinheads hated the Irish, Italians, Jews, Poles, Catholics and anyone else they could identify as somehow different and imagine themselves superior to.

Gee, maybe the way to feel superior is to be superior. Get a freaking education. Or at least get one for your kids. Ignorant and angry is no way to live a life. This is America. Go get your piece of it. Honest to Dog, if you need to feel superior, you could volunteer to work with special needs kids or adults. Imagine for the first time in your life being the brightest one in the room. Priceless! And it doesn’t require committing a felony like threatening the life of a government official does.

Instead of “Don’t make our county an Obamanation” bumper stickers, your rusted out F-150 could sport “I’m smarter than Sarah Palin’s youngest” and be done with it. It has the benefit of (possibly) being true. Some of them folks, no, it wouldn’t be.

Anyway, the way W has wrapped himself so deeply inside a vacuum of security is ironically a great setup for the president elect. The kind of person they worked so hard to keep out is now on the inside.
