As Doc would have said:
Self-delusion is not the same as imagination. Somehow, it might be the opposite.
One opens out. The other suffocates.
So we’ve seen.

ALTERNATIVES TO THE WAR MACHINE
“To summarize: Three steps must be taken to smash the war racket.
- 1. We must take the profit out of war.
- 2. We must permit the youth of the land who would bear arms to decide whether or not there should be war.
- 3. We must limit our military forces to home defense purposes.”
Maj. Gen. Smedley Darlington Butler, USMC

DRAWING THE LINE AFTER PRO-
Pro-life AND pro-assault rifle or Glock?
It doesn’t add up.

JUST THROW ‘EM IN REVERSE
There’s one way to stop those nasty campaign attack ads.
Vote FOR the candidate they’re attacking.
ANOTHER SLIP OF THE TONGUE
Thinking of the Red Barn’s theme for the year, how seems to be morphing from Trumpets of the Coming Storm to Trump-Pence of the Crummy Storm.
Oh, how the mind and life wander!
ON THE SACRIFICES IN DEFENSE OF LIBERTY
“There are only two reasons why you should ever be asked to give your youngsters. One is defense of our homes. The other is the defense of our Bill of Rights and particularly the right to worship God as we see fit. Every other reason advanced for the murder of young men is a racket, pure and simple.”

ONE LETTER DIFFERENCE
It’s a fine line. One for Trump, just what happens when he accuses some and how it comes back at him: rapist – racist.
Has me wondering about other words in the air these days. After all, details and facts really do make a difference, or should.
ANOTHER SIDE IN THE MEXICAN INVASION
Just listen to Donald Trump’s anti-Mexican bluster and then go to the grocery. Some seem to have a whole row of salsa. If he shopped for basics, he’d realize how much they’re a part of the social fabric.
One large New England supermarket chain, for instance, has begun selling tacos made fresh daily, in-house. They’re miles ahead of the others on the shelves or down the street. Lighter, less brittle, tastier.
They do go wonderfully with the guacamole from another New England supermarket brand, too.
I’ll really miss them if Trump’s elected.
And just who will be manning those taco trucks on every corner? Won’t be the same, not if you believe the bombast.
JUST KEEP WONDERING
As Doc would have said:
Would the NRA leadership really pass a background test?
YOUR TWO CENTS VERSUS BILLIONS
Your two cents’ worth is the only way to foil the big-money campaign contributors. Vote against their corrupting influence. Enough of us together can save democracy. It really is us versus them.
Don’t be bullied.
