All the name calling and other silly nonsense going on by both sides must NOT stop…NOPE…it is all a part of our ‘AMERICAN WAY’ of politics, and actually, of our AMERICAN way of Life itself?

For example, if we became CIVIL towards one another, Where would most of my submittals wind up…in the ROUND FILE??….Sure ’nuff…

The USA was ‘founded’ by those practicing ‘civil disobedience’, then WAR and then we wrote the Bill of Rights into our Constitution. I don’t know if they had OPINION pages for sure (I think they did), and they would have been full of NAME-CALLING TYPE words, I’m SURE.

More ‘nasty name calling’ was printed in Civil War papers and in WWI and WWII’s also I’m sure …and during Korea, ‘Nam and Desert Storm…and Today!

Women marching, students rioting, workers striking…name-calling opportunities all.

We train our Army, Navy and A.F. skills which probably don’t include usage of ‘nice’ words.

The Kammomonster has started using them freely these days, grinning as she usually does, and I heard a few slip on the other side too….HOO-RAH!!

I am ‘almost’ sorry that this kind of behavior will end soon (???), but I take comfort in the fact that it will find another “battlefield” to continue in. That very thought let’s me sleep at night…

I am not sure of the source, but I remember hearing that these will come real soon:

1. An ‘A-Lister’ from LA LA Land said; ” GIRL, where did learn to LIE like that?…in Law School?, in L.A.?, San Fran? D.C.???….Nancy, the Squad, CNN ???…YOU rock Maam…you Mamma, yo’ DADDY????

2. SISTA, you got it down pat YEAH!!!

3. Don’t you worry ’bout no ‘FACT CHECK’ on you…you is made of TEFLON!!!!

See, with such immunity, we’ll keep getting an earful a day till election day, to be sure and all.

Since ‘they’ think we are all morons or really extra-stupid, I’m sure the drivel will only get worse…in fact I’m ready to bet on it…I’ll even make the odds 3 to 1….
