Shortly after George Floyd died while under the knee of Derek Chauvin, rioters and looters took to smashing windows of Democrat-run cities across America. Many thought this was a visceral reaction that would stop before long and would be replaced with a more rational national conversation about where we are on matters of policing and race. However, I bet right. Nearly immediately after George Floyd died, I invested heavily in Big Window. I knew that while the nation continued to be mired in Democrat state lockdowns across America, and people were denied the right to hang out with friends,…
Doing the jobs Americans won’t do
Isn’t it funny that we need illegal immigrants in this country because they’re the only ones that will do the jobs, like farming and manual construction labor, that Americans just won’t do. Yet, we can pay Americans to run around Democrat-led cities and suburbs and destroy property, set fire, steal from businesses, injure innocent citizens and police officers, block traffic on highways and roads, and create mayhem everywhere they can. Something tells me that as a culture, we have a lot of work to do.
The responsibility of the open lane
Every so often, you approach a red stop light with two lanes and find that there are three or four cars stacked in one lane while there are no cars in the other. So you rush it up a bit in hopes of getting to the front spot at the light before someone in the full lane notices that it’s open. But more often than not, as you quickly make your approach, someone from the stacked lane suddenly notices the open lane and move into it just before you get there. What was once a great opportunity to drive…
Ferris Bueller represents white teenage boys
One of the best parts of the last four years, politically speaking, is that instead of hiding their ideology by trying to sound like conservatives (even though pursuing socialist policies), the Democrat Party has finally come into their own and is starting to unabashedly tell us who they really are. One of the great articulations is the idea that Democrats specialize in taking something that happens to one person and blowing it out of proportion as representing all people. Take George Floyd. Statistically, black males have about a 1 in 10,000,000 chance of being killed by a police officer,…
We deserve an apology
I was reading up a bit about slavery. Turns out pretty much everything ethnic or demographic group one can think of was enslaved at one point or another throughout human history. Seems like someone owes all of us an apology. Of course, each of us has their own group who owes us an apology, and it’s not all the same group owing the same people an apology. It’s going to be a lot to sort out. But at least we all know to be really angry and unable to functionally contribute to society while we figure it all out….
Racism is a matter of opinion
The fact is, there’s no way to tell how much racism is in the heart of men and women. There’s no way to know how many acts of racism happen in the United States. You can’t know what motivates people to do and say the things they do. If you think something that happened to you was motivated by racism, how do you know? How do you really know? People do things and say things all the time that have reasons and motivations behind them that are nothing like what we think they are. Because the fact is, we…
The right lane is for turning
We haven’t written too much in the Driver’s Ed section of late, but this one just happened today, and it’s a simple one. If you’re in one of two lanes heading toward a stop sign or traffic light, and there’s no one in either lane ahead of you, and you’re going straight or left, pull into the left lane. Not only is the right lane for turning right, but the magic thing about the right lane is that you can even turn right on a red light. If you’re going straight, and you pull up and sit in the…
Black privilege (and other inconsistencies)
If enough white people identify as black people, would there then be black privilege? If so, what do we do about it? As a conservative, I see so many inconsistencies in the popular liberal thinking, that I’m having a hard time keeping up. To be sure, as a human, I’m prone to my own inconsistencies. We’re people. It’s what we do. And I’m sure I’ve got my fair share. But they’re mine, and owned by me. The liberal inconsistencies I’m referring to illustrate a collective, national irrationality that really deserves some acknowledgement or justification. For example: If liberals are…
Privatize the police force
Due to one the greatest overreactions in American history, we seem to have collectively decided that because of the unnecessary death of one black man due to questionable police tactics, all of the police men and women across the entire United States wakes up every morning hoping for a 911 call so they can show up, find the nearest minority, and start shooting. The thing is, not everyone seems to be on board. In fact, it appears many people like and support their local police force and would not only like to see them funded, but would actually like…
Just shoot ’em
If you’ve spent any amount of time on Twitter, chances are you’ve come across at least one video of Antifa protesters doing something horrible to someone who couldn’t defend themselves. I’ve seen protesters standing in the way of an elderly woman with a walker who was trying to cross the street, an elderly woman with paint thrown on her, a woman with a walker who was pushed over, and even a small child kicked by a teenage kid. If you’re like me, you were overcome with a need for justice, and you wish you were there to make things…
