Some folk’s definition of nuts is anyone who challenges the status quo. It had been my observation, through painful experience, that they are often right.
A politically incorrect conservative blog, during the reign of Obama and his leftist wacko minions may be another definition of nuts.
However, this is not always the case. Sometimes right does triumph over wrong, particularly when it is gross wrong. I have seen this happen with my own disbelieving formerly cynical eyes. One good person, doing good, can make a good difference.
On the other hand, one bad person can cause a lot of grief…
My definition of nuts is Jihadists who think they know what’s best. The most recent Jihadist of fame, Major Hasan, is a prime example. He not only took the life of his victims, but also stole away a goodly portion of life from their families and friends. He has even taken some of ours, as we’re spending time worrying with him when we have so much else on our plates. In America, we have a remedy for unbelievers…It is called THE VOTE. It is said he was a poor student in school. Perhaps he was asleep during civics class when that was taught. Ummn…do they still do civics? Mmm mmm mmm?

Another definition of nuts are legislators who think they know what’s best, when it runs contrary to the popular will of their constituents.
Like many Americans, when I was younger, I thought we lived in a pure democracy where an elected official had to do the will of the people.
It was a painful lesson for me to learn that we actually live in a representative democracy where we elect an individual and bestow on him the power to do our collective bidding…however, no guarantees that he will.
More than once, wise local officials (after they had been voted in) patiently explained to me that they were elected to “vote their conscience”, not my will.

Hmmn….Vote their conscience and not mine…

This is all well and good, as long as it works and they think like we do. The problem is that as most always happens, over time, even good men succumb to the pleasures of power, and think their conscience is a better guide than the popular sentiment.
When this happens, it’s time for them to go, with our thanks…but go.
In years past, many of us were too lazy or content, or cynical…you name it…to send them packing. But, my how times change.
Incumbent…my message to you is NO MORE. Dust off your trunks. The train is coming and when it leaves, we want you on it. We’re going to put a new man into your slot, and when he misbehaves, we’ll send him packing too. This time, at least for a time, we’re going to have it our way for a change.
