You Couldn't Make This Up

  • Wednesday, July 27, 2016

After watching the last four days of the Democrat Convention in Philadelphia I honestly don't believe Mel Brooks or Carl Reiner could have written a more hilarious scenario. First on Sunday we get the first WikiLeaks drop showing that the DNC sat around making derogatory comments about three of their most loyal constituencies; blacks, Hispanics and Jews (even questioning Bernie Sanders, Jewishness). And as Gomer Pyle would have said, "suhprise, suhprise," we discovered  Wasserman Schultz was in the bag for Hillary. 

Monday we get the news that Georgia Congressman Hank Johnson, who is famous for asking an admiral in a Congressional hearing if Guam would tip over if we added 20,000 Marines, described Jewish settlers in Palestine as, "termites." That was not surprising since that night there were more Palestinian flags in the arena than American ones. 

Then last night we get the BLM gang. (By the way ,the Republicans had the mother of a soldier who gallantly gave his life for his country) . Not 12 hours later we find out all charges have been dropped in the Freddie Gray incident in Baltimore.  

And finally we discover the party of, "no fences," and no photo ID built a four-mile fence around the convention center and requires a photo ID to get into the arena. I guess if one is poor and/or a minority and is unable to obtain a legitimate photo ID they are not welcome at the Democrats convention.
