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.”
Maj. Gen. Smedley Darlington Butler, USMC

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.
WHERE’S THE TRADING DEADLINE?
No matter where your candidates are standing in the polls, you’re probably feeling like me. Just looking ahead to November is getting exhausting.
If this were major-league sports, there would be a trading deadline to add some excitement to the proceedings. Hopeless teams would release a few good players to franchises hoping to make a run for the championship, while perhaps positioning themselves for a better tomorrow.
In politics, that just might move folks closer to a center. Or others ever deeper into the hole.
For now, though, we’re all stuck with the players we have or the hand we’re dealt. Even when they’re all aces, we expect to do better, don’t we?
TRUMPETING ELEPHANTS IN THE MUD
Hearing the allegations flung at Hillary Clinton, I keep wanting Donald Trump and his camp to look in the mirror. So much sounds like psychological projection, where you cast your faults on others.
Remember, for instance, New York magazine has declared Donald J. Trump the most corrupt presidential nominee ever – worse than Ulysses S. Grant, Warren G. Harding, Richard Nixon, George W. “Halliburton” Bush, Ronald Reagan (who has the most indictments and convictions, by the way), James Garfield … what a list of Republicans! And yet they complain about Mrs. Clinton? Gimme a break!
Of course, when it comes to worst president ever, the trumpeting elephants blithely blare another name or two, ignoring the harsher reality. Eight years ago we were mired down in two wars, one of them launched with no justification, and were moments away from global financial collapse into another Great Depression … and despite unparalleled obstructionism from the GOP, we’ve had a president who has restored the economy and reduced the military burden.
Maybe that mud’s turning into quicksand. Just where are they standing, anyway?
