Yelling “Free speech” in a crowded Blog

 

If you’re a writer, every now and then you’ll write something that even blows you away. I did that today. I’d written this religious thesis that I thought was earth shaking, and while basking in my glory I come upon this Time Magazine piece. Now, bear in mind it was a Time article and being of the northern persuasion I assumed what it was about, seeing as the picture was of Trump, but the angle took me by surprise. The writer pointed out that the Teflon Don was in a better position than he’d ever been in all his attempts before. And it followed up with an, “Oh God! What if this crazy bastard actually wins?”

 

So I did a little research and came to my own conclusions. In my expert opinion if Donald Trump don’t ride through Dallas in a convertible there is a fair to mid chance we are gonna see a Second Coming and it won’t be Jesus. Simultaneously another article hit the air and apparently the old boy’s got a little list of people that he believes are crowding the country just a little too much.

 

So, ya’ll know me. I ran with it. Now before I continue let me tell you that I’ve called every election since I was in high school save one, Kinky Friedman vs Greg Abbott, but that was a personal choice and I was drinking rather heavily at the time. So, when I actually add up all the put togethers I think Trump’s gonna win. Then all he has to do is pardon himself and replace all those federal judges whose pencils were a little too sharp. Of course, being me I took off after the gays with a touch of Holocaust and a dash of Texas nationalism and voila! Facebook, Google, Yahoo, and others took off after me like a pack of savage rabbits. In three minutes flat!

 

I won’t put the link here because all those guys are still out there and my freaking address is on NextDoor. Oh yeah. Them too. While one part of me cried, “Lawdy Lawdy, de paddy rollers is after me,” my professional side says, “Wait a minute! This is a hit!” I mean, all I really said was I think done long shot may pan out. Trump can beat the odds and win! Google warned its readers about reading it. Facebook just said I was “Spreading false information just to get reads.” Well uh DUH! It’s ok for some guy to lob off his pecker and call himself Miss America but a nondescript writer from Austin can’t bet on a horse race?

 

If you wanna get something read just have some over educated, over paid bunch of Yankees tell folks they aren’t allowed to read it. People reading this article are looking for it right now! You’d think I came up with a new miracle cure for E D! And of course I’m rolling in this like a dog in a dead armadillo.

 

And for the record I do hope Trump wins. Talk about a fox in the hen house. We’re talking Hitler at a Bar Mitzvah! But there is something you need to take note of. That’s how close “they” are regulating free speech. That’s not just my free speech, it’s your free speech, too! Right now, as we speak, your Congress is considering legislation that basically punishes thinking anti semitism. I may have committed a felony just writing that last line. And my granddaughter, Puck is a Jew! Does that mean she can’t put money on my books after they catch me? Let’s see. I’ve got to think. I’m circumcised. That’s gotta count for something. But I do like ham and eggs. Maybe a doctor’s note. I’ll get back to you.
