OK. Start with my feelings about John Andrews: nefarious Christianist who should be burned at the stake to prove he is not a warlock.
But, how does he contort his principles to support the short-fingered vulgarian?
… what principles ???
Yet another deep-thinker in a gene pool that's all but evaporated. Just like Ammond "Deep Thinker" Bundy who couldn't even plan far enough ahead to take his own fucking snacks to his own fucking siege. (This message is 'Jesus-approved' )
I read through the ten items above a couple of times.
I have, to my knowledge, never met John Andrews. I guess I'm just lucky.
Remember, Mr. Andrews is the guy who advocates the termination of all funding for public education, kindergarten through university, shutdown the entire system because of course government schools, one of the institutions that made us the colossus of World are evil and must be destroyed. He's never had and still doesn't have any explanation as to how we will educate our children, maintain our economy, and defend our country if our education system is terminated.
Mr. Andrews is also one of those people who wants to outlaw abortion without any exceptions. That's not exactly where Trump stands on that issue and, at least up until this evening, Mr. Andrews prided himself in giving not one inch on this issue.
His silly statements about energy are simply there to try and scare people. The "Green" people have never said we have to absolutely reduce energy use. What they've said is we need to find other cleaner sources to generate the energy we need to power our society. The environmentalists are not advocating that we reduce our standard of living.
Mr. Andrews is trying to hold it all together so his kind of conservatives have an organization to take back over once Mr. Trump loses. Mr. Andrews will never admit it but what Trump has accomplished is the destruction of the cocoon Mr. Andrews and the other conservatives have constructed since the days of Ronald Reagan. Trump has accomplished this feat because the Reagan brand has not benefited most citizens in our country.
Supply side economics is a prime example. Under that theory, the reality turned out to be run away deficits and flat wages for almost two decades. The vast majority of Americans did not benefit from it. And yet, with stagnant wages, people like Mr. Andrews supports the "reform" of entitlements which to them means giving people an annual voucher for medicare and ending the Socials Security system, one of the most successful government programs ever enacted, for the simple reason the government shouldn't be involved based on the absurd notion that the Founding Fathers didn't intend that we ever have such programs, even though it is obvious those who drafted the Constitution had no way of foreseeing the issues our society would be faced with over two hundred years later. That's precisely why they wrote a document that could adapt to the needs of the times we live in. Civilizations that cannot adapt wither and expire.
Mr. Andrews is a relic who represents a past that never existed and wants to impose on us a future the Founders never intended. He wants every Republican to get behind Trump, even if it is loosing cause, so he and the other right-wing conservatives can revert back to the direction they were going before Mr. Trump arrived on the scene last Summer. Whether Trump wins or loses it won't happen. Humpty Dumpty has fallen off the wall and there isn't any way to put the pieces back together. The voters, through Mr. Trump, have rejected Mr. Andrews worldview.
This. ^^^ The (mythically-elected) mayor of Backbone, the mythical town filled (white) boot-strappin', God-fearin' rugged (mythical) individualists.
They've gone from Backbone to Brokeback.
Andrews is and has always been a self-righteous, arrogant asshat. His support of Trump comes as no surprise.
Hopefully, for Andrews and his ilk, not that Mountain ^^^! They definitely don't approve of that.
Unfortunately for Mr. Andrews the optics on the cover of his book aren't in his favor: Backbone doesn't appear to the political center of Dumphuckistan – it's apparently on 'a mountain'. (although given the history of Republican media shops and their inability to match actual Colorado mountains with actual Colorado stories perhaps Backbone is on 'that' mountain.)
Your ticket to 'watershed' thinking…or maybe more akin to 'rain barrel thinking'… in a drought:
Backbone, Switzerland
Zermat
How does Drumpf poll against pubic lice? Maybe that was the most Rev (iled) John's litmus test?
Lice are, no doubt, easier to get rid of….
Andrews claims:
8. Energy: How crazy, how cruel, to brainwash the world into believing that reduced energy use will lead to higher living standards. It’s a hoax on the poor especially. But Clinton and the party of the left want to do just that, in thrall to their green religion. Trump and the party of the right aren’t having it.
So, if you look at the decades since the first Energy Crisis in the 1970s, you will easily see that productivity has improved, and thus reduced energy use HAS led to higher living standards. See
https://blog.opower.com/2013/10/giving-credit-where-credit-is-due-between-1973-and-today-energy-productivity-has-been-usas-largest-energy-resource/
And the current Secretary of Energy Moniz has submitted a plan to double energy productivity by 2030: http://www.energy.gov/articles/secretary-moniz-unveils-roadmap-double-us-energy-productivity-2030
Andrews supports building a wall, banning Muslims … yet wraps himself up in the flag of moralistic Jesus patriotic babble. He is the goat in Matt 25, not only ignoring the least among us, but stampeding them for worldly and political gain; he runs a University that for some unknown reason is actually accredited while proposing a 'religious test' to enter the nation.
John Andrews Jr. is a fraud, a huckster and a charlatan… and a piss poor one at that.
It's hard to tell whether his or crazy Uncle Pat's jar of marbles will empty first. No, Mayor, what would be crazy, cruel would be to brainwash the world leveraging your personal relationship with a brown-skinned, middle-eastern born Jew who promoted peace and free health care into believing that a thrice married, unrepentant playboy should be given the nuclear code, all so you can preserve some semblance of relevance.
"Trump is now the head of the Republican Party.…It's the ultimate reality show – the Presidency of the United States." – Paul Manafort, GOP Convention Manager, interview, MSNBC 5/10/16
Sit with that a minute. And thank Elizabeth Warren for tweeting it true.
