Speak Out 2/15/16

Dry mouth

I am not a physician but am still concerned because Marco Rubio always seems to have a dry mouth. Scouring reliable sources on the Internet has convinced me Rubio may have a medical condition of some sort, perhaps serious. It is in that spirit that I issue a Speak Out writ of mandamus, calling upon Rubio to release the entirety of his medical records.

Future dictator?

Here are five historians' consensus characteristics of fascism: extreme nationalism, militarism, racism, imperialism and dictatorships. At this point, Donald Trump fits the first three. Imperialistic adventures do not yet seem to be Donald's thing, but, hey, who knows? Is the idea that Donald could become a true dictator out of reason? I'll put it like this. In the early 1920s, folks thought Adolf Hitler was a buffoon. You know the rest of story.

Brilliant idea

I'm considering voting for Bernie for the fact his idea of expanding Medicare for everyone is quite brilliant.

'Hair on fire'

I'm glad someone knows where he stands on the issues. Mike Jensen wrote that he filled out an objective, detailed online political questionnaire and discovered that his views on the issues most mesh with those of Donald Trump. Frankly, other than a few nativist, racist and xenophobic glittering generalities, I have no idea where Donald Trump specifically stands on any of the issues. I do know that he projects the persona that he's mad as you know what and isn't going to take it anymore, a characteristic that perfectly personifies Mike Jensen's "hair on fire" persona.
