Wretched Refuse

This is for those who wonder why our president is given to saying and doing so many stupid things:

When one has nothing meaningful to say, they blather on about unimportant things. They also deflect attention from the important things which they know nothing about.  This is the Modus Operandi of our president and the Republican Party.

Many of them could also benefit from a basic course in civility.

It must be difficult to live in a world where almost everyone else has a greater depth and breadth of understanding than you.  One must chafe when listening to all those intellectuals constantly referencing books and science.

So it appears the inmates have taken over the asylum.  But this is no Lord of the Flies situation, we live in a large world, not a small island.  The hoodlums cannot hope to erase the memory of knowledge, nor the spirit of liberty.

The plaque at the base of the Statue of Liberty reads: “Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free, the wretched refuse of your teeming shore.  Send these, the homeless, tempest-tossed to me, I lift my lamp beside the golden door!”
