Crime and Punishment, Democratic Style

These days, your God-given brains are not necessary for much. They are certainly not needed for making decisions on anything important. All you have to do is check out Facebook or CNN to see what is acceptable behavior, what words are currently banned and which politicians you should support. They'll  even tell you where to shop.

For example, today a nationwide boycott of Home Depot stores was called for online because the founder of that commercial giant declared he was supporting Donald Trump, our sitting president. Oh my God, imagine that -- the man used his own judgement, followed his heart and opted to vote Republican, and for that he must be shunned.

It's no news that the Democrats are an unreasonable lot, to say the least. Today, on his Facebook page, one of my husband's rabid lefty relatives outlined his plan for who should be allowed to vote and how many votes each person should get: Citizen, 1 vote; High-school graduate, 2; Associate's degree, 3; Bachelor's degree, 4; Master's degree, 5; PhD, 6. His plan would minimize Trump voters since they are all idiots. The scary thing is that even though he later said he was just kidding, in his heart I know he wasn't.
