The American Human: Is Jeb Bush Toast? Already?!?

Is Jeb Bush Toast? Already?!?

It's not enough that Jeb Bush should keep his mouth shut. He needed to
keep his mouth shut starting twenty years ago. Public shaming? Seriously?

Holy crap.

John McCain and Mitt Romney were, basically, horrible candidates. But they were "establishment candidates," it was their "turn." Remember when Fred Thompson, Rick Perry, and Rudy Giuliani were, at various times, going to swoop in and save the party from the stale "establishment?" Now Jeb Bush, the "establishment candidate," is imploding in very much the same way as the savior clowns did. OMG Scott Walker for president?

It's not that I want Jeb Bush to be president or even to run -- he's a blockhead of the highest order -- but are we really going to have a Republican candidate other than him? Carly? Perry? WALKER?? Christie? Rudy? Santorum? CRUZ?? PAUL? The Donald? OMG alert.

Yes, of course I'm talking about Jeb Bush's putting forth some twenty years ago the notion that we could publicly shame the bejesus out of pregnanat single women so they'll stop their slutty ways. Oh, yeah, that and saving Terri Schiavo shows what a carboard-cut-out of a conservative this highly offensive human is. Public shaming? All together now, John McEnroe-style:

Are you SERIOUS?

Keep the hits coming, Jebbie. We didn't know you had it in you. But we're getting the picture slowly, like a bird turning on a spit. Though it is a bit painful to watch.

Stay tuned. It's like clockwork.

Who gave Jebbie these cockamamie ideas? Huh?

My General Principles

1. Civilized societies require the rule of law.

3. Religion is superstition.
4. An educated society is a healthy society.

8. Don’t confuse politics with public policy.
9. Civil discourse requires rational argument, even if yelling or stomping your feet or name-calling is more fun.
10. If you consider making stuff up a viable tactic, you are disallowed from civil discourse.
11. Puritanism is America’s original sin.
12. Income redistribution is good for society, hoarding is not.
13. Everybody, from time to time, needs help.

About the American Human

The American Human is written by Calvin Ross, a retired teacher who at various points in life has been a musician, woodworker, restaurateur, narrator, English teacher in Japan, novelist, technology journalist, and private tutor to Japanese children here in the U.S.

Happily residing in the wine country of Sonoma County north of San Francisco, Calvin has lived in the Philippines, the Netherlands, and the aforementioned Japan, as well as in Chicago, Colorado, Georgia, and many different towns in California, including, of all places, the Mojave Desert.

Calvin, you may note quickly, is a liberal progressive who doesn't think being called a socialist is all that bad, especially since he sort of would like living in Denmark if it weren't so cold. He blogs because he can.
