The Progressive-Left constantly seeks after Democrat deities, and they found the latest generation when cometh Beto O’Rourke and Mayor Pete Buttigieg. What is it about Leftism that yearns to worship Earth-bound political gods? And how is that reflected in the latest effort to repeal the electoral college?

Democrat Deities: Beto and Mayor Pete Cometh as Latest Progressive Idols

In general, it seems that as the Left gets more socialistic-and by inference, atheistic–it is understandable how they could confuse a mere human being with God. The Golden calf analogy is perfect. But you are spot on with looks. John Kennedy was elected in large part because of his looks. Compare his appearance to Roosevelt, Truman or Eisenhower and you see it. His election was similar to a Beatles concert. Unlike modern Democrats, he was an actual war hero and had some understanding of the world and a lot of guts. Clinton and Obama were also pretty boys and therefore loved by the Left. As typical of the Left, it would seem that appearance matters far more than substance.
Rhetorical Q:- So now that you have correctly ID-ed the problem, wha’s your TACTICAL solution & strategy?
I happen to be a Jew. Every year I marvel at the brilliance of Passover, where we dramatically tell the story of the misery of slavery. I’ve always wanted an American Passover. Closest we come to that is on Independence Day or Thanksgiving.
Similarly, to counter Beto or Beetllejuice, probably someone like Shapiro, who can ridicule the game as he plays it.
The left is always 5 steps ahead of us. Bill, Steve, Scott, it’s time for you to have a serious talk with Ben. I mean it!
Jon, can you clarify what you mean? Forgive my density. It is my destiny.
The GOP keeps promoting rather unattractive candidates, I .e., eschewing style over substance. Progressives on the other hand understand that style matters. (A lot.)
Shapiro is a small c Conservative that understands that dynamic. He’d smash Beetlejuice or Biden in a debate; almost as well as Bill would. We need someone like him, if not him, to primary Mr. Trump.
Everything we now see is rapidly changing. E.g., internet 3.0 – the internet of Value, the nature of money, the resurgence of rational individualism.
If you can, I suggest you 3 have a heart to heart, encouraging Ben to consider running sooner rather than later.
Speaking of photos of whatshisname, remember all the photos of him with a halo? For a while there in every photo there was a bright light behind his head or his head just happened to be centered on some round department seal. That deification was deliberately cultivated.
Bill: Not Menudo, Back Street Boys.
You want to know why? Here’s why:
They’re standard-issue godless human beings, who are actively in rebellion and who have thus been given over to their crude desires by God.
when you’re done with testing, if you want to delete the test comments, you can click the little man-gear icon under “Leave a Reply” above. That will let you permanently delete any of them. Let me know if you have questions.
Thanks, Scott. I couldn’t figure out how to delete my double. FWIW, it looks like the comment system has a delay if not a glitch. I posted the double because clicking “post comment” didn’t seem to do anything. I waited a bit and clicked again, still nothing. Figure you’re probably aware of that, but FYI.
I had to dial back the auto-post setting to keep the comment gizmo from melting the server. As a result, the Post Comment button has a 7-10 second delay. I’ll keep trying to find the sweet spot. sorry for the inconvenience, John.
*That’s* what’s going on. Good to know. My poor Enter button was about to call the cops on me for assault.
Ah ha! Well what ever you did, it was working for me fine a couple days ago when I posted Happy Bday on Strat Lounge. But this morn and on to this evening, I’m having a good 10+ second delay clicking on any of the comment features.
Hope the time frame is at all helpful for you.
Ah, good to know. I thought it was my phone having an issue with finding the right spot on the screen for my finger to press. I will try to exercise some patience. Not my best virtue.
As to Bill’s comment on human nature and miracles; my favorite cartoon:
Images won’t post so please Google “What do you mean it’s a bit muddy?”
Both Mayor Pete and Robert Francis drink BRAWNDO! Once again, we are seeing scenes from Idiocracy playing out in real life.
First off, let’s get out of the way that this should be outside the paywall!
Funny thing about Lefty atheists. Is it just my personal experience or has anyone else noticed that the people who proclaim the loudest that they’re atheists are the ones who believe some of the dumbest s***?
Personally, I think everything (except Backstage) should be outside the paywall.
Personally, I think that all episodes (except Backstage) should be outside the paywall!
Oops. 15:44 – “Beto, the Warren report of candidates.” Isn’t the joke supposed to be the “Mueller report”? LOL
I think he meant “the Warren Beatty of candidates”. Heh.
They think they are casting a movie. They already have a script and they just need to get the actors properly cast. They ‘know’ with certainty what is going to happen, in what order, so they just need the proper people to give the orders while looking wistfully into the sunset with their hair gently blowing in the breeze.
AOC was essentially found by her backers in a casting call for young “hip” congress-critters. It’s one of the reasons her interviews are so bad. She is not talking about what she knows, but parroting someone else’s views. The left is basically doing Cyrano.
Yup. It’s a movie casting call.
