"My grandfather once told me that there were two kinds of people: those who do the work and those who take the credit. He told me to try to be in the first group; there was much less competition. " -Indira Gandhi

“The difference between faith and insanity is that faith is the ability to hold firmly to a conclusion that is incompatible with the evidence, whereas insanity is the ability to hold firmly to a conclusion that is incompatible with the evidence.” ― William Harwood, Dictionary of Contemporary Mythology

“In a competition for mates, a well developed capacity for self-deception is an advantage, The same is true in politics and other contexts.”
John Straw Dogs: N. Gray, Thoughts on Humans and Other Animals

“Beyond shame there is politics.” ― Gerard de Marigny, Joshua's Country

“... while madness in individuals is relatively rare, it is virtually a prerequisite for a certain sort of political leader.” ― Joyce Carol Oates, The Accursed

“No one you'd really like to see in public office has the bad taste to run.” F. PAUL WILSON, Implant

“We hang the petty thieves and appoint the great ones to public office.” AESOP, Aesop's Fables

“Politics, n. A strife of interests masquerading as a contest of principles. The conduct of public affairs for private advantage.” AMBROSE BIERCE, The Devil's Dictionary

“If a political party does not have its foundation in the determination to advance a cause that is right and that is moral, then it is not a political party; it is merely a conspiracy to seize power.”   DWIGHT D. EISENHOWER, speech, March 6, 1956

That Eisenhower quote is sobering.

Suck on it Mr. Carley.  You were funny  as a comedian - especially in "Dumb and Dumber" - because you fit the part ssssoooooooo well.  In politics, you retained the dumbass part only. Ya need to get back to comedy.

I do find it odd, however, that when police are NOT involved in a black persons death - be it drive by shooting or whatever - Black Lives Matter rarely says a word.  Just sayin. 

Publicly demonstrates that they don't really care at all.  This is just another cause for criminal immunity by a violent group.  They haven't done anything about Chicago because it is their own doing the killing.

I continue to assert that none of the violent or radical hippie socialists are in it to save lives or redeem miscreants.

It's all about them federal block grants to save lives and redeem miscreants, which, of course, never get spent to save lives or redeem miscreants.

The Africans learned from the 1970s.  Make a big enough fuss and the government will ship a few truckloads of money to you.

The above group of ComiDemDaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa's is certainly not very bright. From John Kerry forming an ass hole in his own image all the way down through Hillary, no two people formed the gesture the same way.  On the other hand, I have a simple gesture that is pretty universal and copied correctly all the time - and there is no guess work about what it means. Maybe I should run for the Senate. :460:
