Say Anything Blog

Talk about irrelevance.  This morning I read that on the heels of the Romney exit from the Primaries that James Dobson is supporting Mike Huckabee.  Big Whoop.  Jimmy, where were you 3 months ago when things began to look real in the Huckabee campaign?  When the rest of us evangelicals were looking carefully at this good man and saying, “I can back him, and were prepared to take the slings and arrows of angry rhetoric”.  You’re a little late there buddy.

I won’t or can’t advise Mr Huck on what to do.  It might be smart to say “no thanks”.  Dobson’s endorsement is a little like a Squirrel endorsing nuts over Pork Chops.  DUH.  His lack of early endorsement is cowardice.

I don’t know if Huck has a chance in Heaven or not.  I do know I would be quite satisfied to have this good man at the helm of our country.  I think he would govern not like Ronald Reagan but like George W Bush who if it were possible I would support for a third term.

If we are ever going to have a viable non liberal alternative for which to vote in this country it’s going to look like Mike Huckabee and George W. Bush, Not like Ron Paul, Not like Fred Thompson and not like John McCain. 

Mostly young idealist conservatives driven by misleaders of the talk show media have become useful fools in a lost cause.  They are the exact counterpart of the Young Idealist Liberals mindlessly supporting Obama.
The naiveté of these people is fueled by a messianic vision of how thing ought to be.  Even a book invoking this idea was written by one of the chief propagators of this illusion.

Now the political chickens have come home to roost.  Oh, the misleaders will have new fuel to drive their ratings as a President Clintons or Obama take this country further into ruin.  What has effectively happened is great has been shunned for illusory perfection.

This happens with this generation in marriage as well.  They are looking for mr or miss perfect and pass up mr or miss really great.  They are living in illusion of the way things ought to be.

This does not come from a book, this does not come from a talk show host, this observation is mine and mine alone hammered out purely on the anvil of experience. 

Time to take a clue.  Maybe there IS something left for idealists to learn.  Get what you can or lose what you have.  That’s the lesson that has been lost on this generation.  This generation has had it too easy, they believe in the 22 minute solution, they don’t understand the long slog.  They want instant microwave gratification. They believe that they are entitled to have it perfectly every time.  They have been duped into this idealism that feeds into a me generation mentality to their own demise.

I digress.

Dobson endorsing Huckabee is as meaningless as the pronouncements of the Giant Talking Heads on radio and TV.  Both should be disregarded.

Show some discernment people.
