GOT TO LOVE THOSE UNIFIERS

-

A friend of mine sent me a clip of Don Lemon and Chris Cuomo pontificating about the Founding Fathers and racism in America. They were saying that we should not deify the founders because they were not perfect. I can't speak for everyone else but I don't deify anyone but God. He is the only one worthy of deification. Lemon did say that Jesus was not perfect. I don't know which Bible that he is reading. I didn't pick up on that in mine. Maybe that comment alone should disqualify anything that Lemon has to say because it is so stupid in itself. Regarding his comment about the founders they were, as a group, smarter and wiser than most. They pooled their talents at exactly the right time in American history creating the greatest form of government that the world has ever seen. If America had to depend on the intellects of Lemon and Cuomo in 1776 we would not be the United States of America today. There is no telling what we would be. Their interpretation of history could be described as modernism. They judge the people of 1776 and 1787 by their moral values today. Which at best is moral relativism. 

Another thing that they said that is totally ridiculous is that America needs a unifier today like Barack Obama and Ronald Reagan. I wanted to laugh out loud when I heard this. Barack Obama. A unifier. He is one of the biggest reasons that America is so divided today. Polls showed that 75% of the American people felt we were moving in the right direction on race just before he took office in 2008. By 2016 only 48% of American's felt that way. I crack up when I hear the left put Reagan on a pedestal today. They hated Reagan almost as much as they hated Trump. At the time he was portrayed by the left as a cowboy who was going to get us all killed. He was incompetent and fell asleep in cabinet meetings. Reagan allowed the deficit to baloon, let the AID's victims die needlessly, was a racist, a sexist, and had dementia. You know, the same way all Republican presidents are treated by the media except when it came to Reagan and Trump with added gusto.

The last thing that the founders wanted the president to be was a unifier. They believed in checks and balances in government. Yes, they wanted someone to continually remind us that regardless of our differences we should all love our country but they wanted leaders who would always do what was in the best interest of the United States and it's people. When you are a leader there will naturally be those who disagree with your decisions. So how can a real leader be a unifier? I think Trump, at least in his speeches has tried to paint a positive vision for America and our future. The real dividers are always the Democrats. They are the party of grievance. Of course Lemon and Cuomo finished their diatribe by calling Trump a racist and anyone who supports them as being racist. Yes, they do love to unify.

Jayne Mansfield   Jayne Mansfield died way too young on June 29, 1967 at the age of 34 in a gruesome car wreck, She was killed instantly but contrary to urban legend she was not decapitated. Jayne was called the poor man's Marilyn Monroe. She had enjoyed about a four year stint of popularity on Broadway and in Hollywood from 1954 until 1958. Her career was in decline in the late 50's and early 60's but she was still popular in Europe and on the nightclub circuit. She took her last name from her high school sweetheart Paul Mansfield when she married him at the age of seventeen. Her second husband was a former Mr. Universe named Mickey Hargitay who was from Norway. The third and last husband was Matt Cimber. Mansfield was highly educated, attending Southern Methodist University, the University of Texas and U.C.L.A. She supposedly had an IQ of 163 and was called the smartest dumb blonde ever. Of course she couldn't be too smart. In 1966, a year before her death, while

CHARLIE PARKHURST

  Charlie Parkhurst aka One-eyed Charlie, Cockeyed Charlie, or Six Horse Charlie was born in 1812 in Vermont. Eventually he made his way out west to California where he became a teamster and one of the most skilled stagecoach drivers in history. He was small in stature but tough. Shortly after becoming a stagecoach driver for the California Stage Company he was kicked in the face by a horse and blinded in one eye. Charlie began his reputation as a tough driver when a robber named "Sugarfoot" held up his stage one day. Taken by surprise his only option was to give up his strong box. Six months later the Sugarfoot hit him again but Charlie was prepared this time. He blew him away with a shotgun at point blank range. Without blinking his good eye he rode off at a full gallop leaving the robber dead in the road.   He was an expert shot and an expert with a bull whip. Charlie could cut a cigar in half at fifteen paces while a man held it in his mouth. On one occasion he rolle
