Town Hall: I know many Americans are chomping at the bit to turn our entire economy over to a bunch of coastal blue city hipsters and college professors, along with all our money and our personal freedom, because of a dubious moral panic over future weather, but I’d like to suggest a better idea. I call it the Red, White and Blue New Deal, and it’s a little different than the proposed Green New Deal that seems to benefit only virtue signaling limo libs, crony capitalists, and aspiring commissars. The Red, White and Blue New Deal would, instead, be directed at benefiting Normal Americans – you know, those people who built our country, feed it, fuel it and defend it. People like you and me. So, here it is. All of it:
Support your own damn self and leave me the hell alone.
That’s it. That’s my Red, White and Blue New Deal.
What do you think?
Now, one of the virtues of my innovative proposal is its simplicity. It requires no “massive” mobilization of our whole society in a collective campaign to pursue some arbitrary goal that a bunch of liberals who never ran anything but their lying mouths picked out for us. It requires no additional national debt. It requires no huge, unresponsive deadweight bureaucracy to implement. In fact, it requires nothing at all besides what you and me have always done – work for a living.
Here it is again, in its entirety:
Support your own damn self and leave me the hell alone.
Now, the left is going to find this comprehensive scheme problematic for many reasons, primarily among them because it does not take the fruits of our labor and our freedom and hand them over to those very same leftists. As you look at the Green New Deal, you may wonder, “How does this plan make me freer or more prosperous?” But, of course, it does neither. Neither your freedom nor your prosperity is the purpose of the Green New Deal, nor the purpose of any of the other countless moral equivalents of war they are always proposing. Climate change is just the latest excuse for their pinko power grab. If it wasn’t the fake weather religion, it would be some other imminent danger of certain doom that required you to give up your money and freedom RIGHT NOW NO TIME TO THINK THE CHILDREN THE CHILDREN THE CHILDREN!

I like it. I like it a lot.
Odd, isn’t it, that the capitalist-libertarian approach leads to greater efficiency, better products, less crime, higher incomes which in turn leads to a greener, cleaner environment.
And by odd I mean rational, logical.
Totally love that. In other words, the Trump agenda. Or the Tea Party agenda. All of the above. I ask for simple things; level playing field, national security, an unbiased justice system, a government that ensures that and that only.
Less is more…love it!
I believe that if you dig down and remove all the restrictions, taxations and limitations imposed by government on the individual, you will find this pretty damn close to what the founding fathers (!) had in mind, and what was originally enjoyed in this country.
The American Deal. The Square Deal.
American innovation unleashed, to make ourselves the Mightiest, Strongest, Richest, and Most Prosperous.
Then we can lift others
And pay off that debt, jeez
Ummmm….. isn’t it “champing at the bit”? Wondering for a friend.
