Just a Rant

NOT my spokesmen!

     Two things I want to stay away from on my blogs are politics and religion because they are so inflammatory. As far as religion is concerned, as Samuel Reshevsky once said about Bobby Fischer and Judaism, "He has his beliefs, I have mine." I am willing to share my faith IF someone is interested. If not, people are entitled to hold whatever religious beliefs they want. As for politics, the US is a free country and people can vote for whomever they want and say whatever they want. 
     But, my problem is with people who refuse to accept the fact that, like it or not, Donald Trump is the President of the United States and act like idiots because Mrs. Clinton didn't win. As for my Christian friends on Facebook, I wish they would follow the Biblical instructions given by the Apostle Paul when he advised us to pray for those in office and give them their proper respect. Never were we told to ridicule or rail against them on social media. 
     I am also tired of Hollywood celebrities spouting off. The list of Hollywood celebrities who think we care about their political opinions is endless. They get paid to entertain us and nobody cares what their opinion about anything else is. These folks aren't living in the real world; they are out of touch with those of us who don't live in a make believe world and who struggle to pay the bills. 
     Charlie Sheen recently railed against White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer for wearing a green tie. Apparently Mr. Spicer's choice of ties annoyed a lot of people. How childish can you get? 
     The former Two and a Half Men star tweeted that Spicer should use the eyesore around his neck, tied in a Windsor knot, to “asphyxiate” himself, adding “Bro, that s***** Windsor should b remodeled to asphyxiate u. U R a shameful husk. crawl back into your mom you baleful noxious shoat,” Back at you Sheen! 
     This was coming from the same Carlos Irwin Estévez, known professionally as Charlie Sheen, who had his contract for Two and a Half Men terminated by CBS and Warner Bros. in March 2011 because his personal life made headlines that included reports of alcohol and drug abuse, marital problems and allegations of domestic violence. Sheen has also publicly revealed that he is HIV positive. He is unqualified to be a spokesman on anything. 
     Then there's that buffoon Michael Moore. For example, see his message to Hillary Clinton on Youtube HERE. 
     How do you explain these people? In Smart People Are Good at Being Dumb in Politics pop psychologist Jesse Marczyk, Ph.D. tries to explain it HERE.
