SPECIAL KIND OF STUPID: DC's Way of Thinking :: 08/09/2014
Washington DC sure is special. There is stupid.. and then there is that special kind of DC stupid. The DC City Council is a perfect example. The DC City government needs to pave their streets, run their schools and arrest violent criminals.
Unfortunately, DC is busy doing anything except their job. The Palmer decision from the US District court is simply the latest example of DC Stupid. The judge ruled that DC really is part of America and has to abide by our constitution. The judge said citizens in DC have the right of armed self-defense outside their home. Of course, DC disagrees.
DC argued that it is special and shouldn't have to obey the judge's ruling. DC claims our nation's capital is filled with special people who need special rules. DC hosts special events. DC draws special crowds and is filled with special buildings. The DC police claim they are really special police and need special "common sense" restriction applied in special areas.
Well ain't.. they.. special.
We can help the district with a little special education right now. Maybe we can mainstream the special needs politicians and coax them off the short bus they have been riding for years.
Politicians are not special. They are the easiest of people to replace. It is true their personal lobbyists and dealers will feel short-changed if a politician suddenly leaves office. Fortunately, there are clear lines of succession. Replacements are already chosen and standing by for most political offices and senior staff. It is easy, shockingly easy, to replace a senior elected official who is sentenced to jail.
In contrast, it is far harder for a family to replace the average mom or dad living out on the edge of DC, earning a living and taking care of their family. Those are the same citizens that DC wants defenseless.
A few thousand voters put these politicians in office. Politicians are not royalty despite what they say about themselves in their press releases.
