MILEY CYRUS IS CRYING TONIGHT - SEE MILEY CRY!
Miley Cyrus is crying tonight. See Miley cry. Cry, Miley, cry!
Donald Trump has announced most of his cabinet and while the choices are not all perfect, they represent such an improvement over the atrocities of the Obama left that it makes Miley cry! There is much rejoicing in America as Miley cries.
Hollywood has failed! While the left wingers spewed forth their venom and thought they had once again beguiled America, the common citizens of America have spoken. Hollywood has lost its hold. "Oh, foolish Americans, who hath beguiled you...?" Well, they are not beguiled any longer! It is no wonder that Miley cries. Cry, Miley, cry!
I must point out of course, as NPR has been doing since the election, that Trump did not win the popular vote. In fact, Hillary got about 2 million more popular votes than did Donald J. Trump. I suppose we should, in fairness, abolish the electoral college retroactively. At least, those individual electors who pledged to cast their votes according to the discretion of the American voters should now be free to dishonor their sacred duty--because they do not agree with the election's outcome.
But you see, Miley, if you do not believe now that the electoral college is a good idea, you are addressing the wrong audience. The audience you should address is made up of the following Esquires: James Madison, George Washington, Benjamin Franklin, John Adams, John Jay, Patrick Henry, Alexander Hamilton...., etc. In their wisdom, they set up the American electoral process in 1787 (signed September 17, 1787). They gave the final power to elect the President to a group of electors chosen by the individual states. They withheld that power from the popular vote and they did it after careful and compromised negotiation. It was James Madison who said, "Asking the common man to choose a president is like asking a blind man to choose colors."
Donald Trump is not the first president who failed to get a majority of the popular vote. It has happened 5 times in American history. Presidents who did not get the majority of the popular vote are: John Quincy Adams (1824); Rutherford B. Hayes (1876); William Henry Harrison (1888), George W. Bush (2000) and Donald Trump (2016).
It was Thomas Jefferson who enjoined us that governments should not be changed "for light and transient causes." Perhaps we should not rush to dismantle the electoral college system just because Miley's candidate is not going to sleep in the White House.

Why We Must Never ASSUME...
When we ASSUME things to be true, even when they are not, we get into logical quagmires.
An example? When we ASSUME that the War Between the States was strictly a war about slavery, nothing else.
Or when we ASSUME that the South fought to preserve slavery. Or that the Confederate flag is racist.
Let's digest that terrible word ASSUME.
ASS-U-ME.
When we ASSUME, it makes an ASS out of you, and an ASS out of me.
ASS-U-ME.
A very bad thing.

SHELBY FOOTE ON THE CONFEDERATE FLAG
If you have not heard Shelby Foote, the noted writer, comment on the Confederate flag, you owe it to yourself to listen to him for 2 minutes. Here is a link:

Foote correctly relates that the Confederate flag was never about racism. He says the Confederacy respected law and order above all else.
This may be the most interesting and most accurate brief discussion about the misunderstandings of the flag that I have ever heard.
