Thanks for honesty

I’d like to send a big “Thank You” to Frank Duffy for his honesty in voicing the true feelings of the radical right. We are left to wonder what it is that disqualifies Black “leaders” like Chris Jones from participation in government. Is it the Ph.D.? I know that means he’s smarter than most of us, and that would seem to be a minus based on what we see in Congress and our Legislature. His vision? According to his website, he wishes to promote emphasis on education at all levels, broadband for all Arkansans, supporting small businesses, quality health care, and good governance. It sounds to me as if the only disqualifying factor might be … hmm … skin color? Well, that and “Democrat.”

It seems the main policy difference between Jones and radical-right Sarah is that she wishes to buy your vote by “phasing out” the income tax. Might that not lead to “defunding” police and other necessary services? Maybe she expects to ask the Feds to help out?

I also notice that Chris Jones tends to ignore those things that aren’t things, such as CRT and teaching kids about “unnatural sexual practices.” He feels it unnecessary to teach about hate and fear, leaving those subjects to the parents and their churches, who are good at it. The “platitudes” Jones espouses, equal education and equal opportunity, if fully implemented, should lead in the long run to less crime and less poverty, not only for minorities, but for all Arkansans, as we are all equal, right?

I say we can Keep America Great, and make it better, by teaching math, science, history, civics and grammar. Well, maybe not grammar … we don’t want our kids to feel bad about Mommy and Daddy not talking right … ahem … speaking correctly.
