Rant and Rave for Jan. 14, 2020

So now Biden has all the answers?

“Candidate Joe Biden says diplomacy’s the only way out of the Iran situation; sure Joe, and pay off the terrorists with pallets of US cash too, right Joe? 

“The Iran problem festered for 8 years while Biden was VP and he was clueless how to fix the problem then; now that he’s a candidate, he suddenly has all the answers.”

If you hate Moultrie, leave

“The ranter’s certainly welcome to leave Moultrie if ‘ignorance rules in this town’ and bothers them. You seem to hate America like you hate Moultrie. I see Moultrie positively, regardless of your hatred, and look forward to a bright future here. 

“Your vision of critical thinking is if anyone disagrees with you, they cannot think critically. Grow up.”

US Navy vastly greater than Iran’s

“Iran’s Navy is pitiful compared to other navies. Worldwide, nobody approaches US Navy’s capability. One US carrier in the Persian Gulf destabilizes all military forces in the region. 

“Watching the news, recently, about retaliation against America for Soleimani’s death, you’d think America was about to be annihilated by Iranians. Anyone believing that has serious critical thinking deficiencies.”

Pelosi on a power trip

“Pelosi is on a power trip. She wants to tell Trump how to do his job same as she wants to tell McConnell how to do his job in the Senate. She thinks everybody must do things her way and NO OTHER WAY. Pelosi is power drunk.”

Another do-nothing Congress

“Looks like 2020 is shaping up to be a year where the House of Representatives does nothing for the American people, rather like 2019, huh? 

“How’s that for efficient, effective use of your hundreds of millions of tax dollars by your representative? Isn’t that taxation without representation? 

“Have you sent a Thank You card to your Representative?”

Double standards

“So, Trump acts to stop another 911 style terrorist attack and he’s a warmonger? But when the Nobel Peace prize winner does the same thing against Bin Laden, he’s a hero? Obvious double standards. 

“And leftist media jumps to Iran’s defense while hating America. Typical leftist mentality and lack of critical thinking skills.”

If Trump is innocent

“If Trump is innocent why is he using executive privilege to block the testimony of Bolton and the others? 

“If the Republican Senators are interested in the truth they should welcome the testimony instead of enabling Trump to stonewall the proceedings.”

I make my own decisions

“I don’t watch Fox news, nor Trump rally highlights. Unlike Wednesday’s ranter, I also don’t rely on one-sided liberal news outlets for heavily biased, fake news reporting, either. I make my own decisions, media be darned; I learned that in the military, NCO Academy, also unlike the ranter. Also unlike the ranter, I believe in America and the US military.”

The US has already won

“If the paltry missile attack by Iran against US bases in Iraq was Iran’s response to Soleimani’s death, the US won. If Trump unleashed 1% of US Navy’s capability on Iran, that country would cease to exist. US Military personnel know this. Having been in service, I know Iran doesn’t want a tiny fraction of what we can give them.”

Republicans in the military

“The Ranter said, ‘It’s time to put your money where your mouths are. Donald Trump’s supporters can fight this war…’ 

“Perhaps you’re blind, they already are. Republicans constitute about 85% of US military personnel and they’re working hard protecting your right to freedom of speech. What have you done for your country, or anyone else?”

Bush started all our current wars

“In response to the ranters who complained about Obama’s wars and war-mongering Democrats. You are aware that every war we are currently involved in were started by George W. Bush? And are you also aware that your unpredictable great leader Trump is on the verge of starting another to avert attention from his impeachment trial? Read! Learn!”
