Looney Tunes presents CPAC 2021

Starting today and continuing through Sunday is the most dysfunctional meeting since Jonestown. It is that a wild and crazy bunch of guys who claim to be the intellectual heirs of Edmund Burke.And guess who is the Keystone speaker?It is not other than that arch conservative Donald Trump.You may recall that Conservativism had as its core the concepts of individual liberty and small government.Trumps ideology to the extent he has one is first,"It's About me"and a close second,"I Want to be a dictator like my hero Putin".We may expect him to enter the hall with a color guard of Proud Boys waving flags saying Trumpf uber alles.

There will be apparently at least seven panels discussing how the 2020 Election was stolen from Der Furer.Those willing to spend time watching this nauseating spectacle could amuse themselves by counting how many times the terms"Cancel Culture"and "Socialist"are used.George Orwell would be overwhelmed by the amount of lies and newspeak that will be floating in the air.Of course whenThe Trump administration was in command and providing relief plans it wasn't Socialism but good effective conservative governing.Also when democrat Administrations run deficits it is radical leftism but when republican administrations run deficits it is wise and necessary.They do tend to forget that Saint Ronald Ragan created the largest federal deficit since the second world war it was considered to be arch conservatism.You may recall he quipped that he wasn't worried about the big deficits because they were big enough to take care of themselves.

Apparently70 to 80% of the population of this country including many self-styled Republicans believe that Biden's Covid relief plan is a good one.We can hope that the Democrats will keep their resolve and force the plan through under reconciliation.The best answer to the party of Trump, formerly known as the Republican Party,is to demonstrate that the agenda of the Democratic Party works best for the most people.
