Well…just a short one to share something that has been troubling me since the “Mitt the bully” story broke earlier this week….while ole Mitt dismisses the attack as just a prank, if it were to happen today, let’s remember that this would be a felony assault and Mitt wouldn’t be running for anything but the president of his cell block….the country has evolved to view these “pranks” as the vicious violence that they are and Mitt can’t just dismiss it with a wave of the hand and an “I don’t remember”….this kind of stuff, that continued to happen as ole Mitt went through college and into his “missionary” work in France and through the Bain years where he had no feeling for the people who he threw out of work for personal gain, is an accurate indicator of the man’s personality that continues to this day…you can imagine what an administration run by a man who “likes to fire people” and thinks that everyone can start a business with loans from their parents would look like…and it’s not pretty…geez….

Not going to pile on….
Well…that last one was supposed to be short but it came out longer than I expected…so, I will keep this one short…I find the whole furor over what ole Mitt did in high school to be funny…in case you haven’t heard, it has been revealed that in his oh, so exclusive prep school, ole Mitt was somewhat of a bully and in one incident, he and his gang held down another student that didn’t look like them and actually cut off his hair….okay, no, I am going to pile on since this goes to his character and rides a thread of his life right up to today….that he has no empathy for anyone who isn’t like him…that he lacks the capacity to feel what others feel if they are not rich, white, and connected. What did he expect, that being a thug would be excused just because he was 18? It’s the same kind of privileged nonsense that goes on in all of those so-called “better” schools where contempt for anyone who isn’t like them is almost in the course curriculum and is never corrected since they really do believe that their lessers can be treated any way they see fit. It’s the same way that abusers as adults can be predicted by their behavior as teens…and the incident with tying the dog to the top of the car shows that he has not evolved in any significant way…he has just learned to hide the behavior better…but that is not even true…when you hear him interact with supporters at his rallies, he is all sweetness and light…but when challenged by someone who doesn’t feel as he does, there are numerous times that his true contempt for anyone not like him shows and has been recorded…let’s look at the tape…it will show he is still the teenage bully that cut off a classmates hair for fun…geez….
More nonsense from the republicans here in Michigan…
Well…I think most of you should be glad that you don’t live here in Michigan with the nonsense that is going on in the repub controlled senate….in case you haven’t heard…a couple of repub senators inserted language into an anti-bullying law here that would allow bullying if it was a result of “a deeply held religious conviction”…yep, you heard it right…in a bone thrown to the religious conservatives here, these two idiots gutted the anti-bullying law that had support on both sides of the aisle just to make sure they continue to have the support of the tea party crowd…never mind the fact that religion should have nothing to with any law here in the US, these are the same people that introduced legislation preventing Sharia law from being used as the basis for any legislation here in the US…but, I guess it’s okay to have religious law if it is Christian law…again, nonsense and hypocrisy from the repubs here and across the country….
