If you're a "Meat and Potatoes Loyalist" you know the abbreviation "Double D" has nothing to do with female anatomy. Rather, I use it to describe a HUGE segment of today's attention deficit disorder plagued society, the "Dunderheaded Douchebags". You know the type I'm talking about, they can recall a super bowl score from 1969 and who the quarterback was for each team but they don't know who their senators are........what a joke!
What's funny is that the same individuals who will lament ad nauseum about crooked politicians and broken government are ironically the cause of their own torment! Just think about it. As a representative republic becomes filled with people who pay little or no attention to political matters and all of their attention to "American Idol", Blackberries and IPODS, the republic will begin to come apart at the seams. Politicians will become unaccountable to the electorate and emboldened, even intoxicated with limitless power to rob your wallet and run roughshod over the United States Constitution, the supreme law of the land.
Why am I talking about this today? Well, I was just listening to C-SPAN callers and a "Triple D" called in with a baseless rant about how President Bush is responsible for the "single-state recession" being enjoyed by Michigan. By the way, a Triple D is a "Dunderheaded DETROIT Douchebag" in case you were wondering. The convoluted, ignorant logic went as follows: President Bush gave tax breaks to all the rich people which robbed the country of revenues, while at the same time fought a war in the middle east for oil which busted the budget.
Now, it's a saturday and I have much better things to do with my time than take the twisted rantings of a Triple D and try to explain why it is so sophomoric! Michigan is enjoying a "single-state recession" for one major reason and that is because their solitary industry has not been globally competetive for several years. Now, is this President Bush's fault? Hell no. It is the fault of the auto industry itself. Of course, it doesn't help that the elected leaders of Michigan, most of which are Dumb-O-Crats, have done nothing to help the auto industry and the overall economy of Michigan. In fact, Democrat Governor Granholm chose to RAISE TAXES rather than cut spending to close budget shortfalls. Now there's a sure-fire way to help a collapsing economy, nice job!
Time for the tough love you Triple D's. Ya'll better wake the hell up and take a look around you to see what your elected leaders are doing LOCALLY! You want to take the easy, cowardly route and blame President Bush as your handy SCAPEGOAT. Has it occurred to any of you that President Bush is going into his FINAL YEAR as president and will be out of there before you know it? What are you going to do then? Maybe you'll fall back to blaming Governor Engler or better yet, Mitt Romney's dad. Yeah, that's the ticket!
