A call to arms, literally and figuratively

Literally in the sense that we need to arm, rearm, upgrade our firearms and restock our ammo*, because the Lefty Libs are so rapidly skidding off the rails that sustained violence cannot be far away.

*NOTE: If you are shooting Xs at a 1,000 yards like Infidel, you’ll probably want to load your own.

Dope “leaders” are just now mildly calling for civility, not because things are rapidly spiraling out of control, but rather because they are sensing the middle is crumbling against them on this issue. If they thought the issue would work for them, I guarantee you they wouldn’t give a crapola if the country burned to the ground.

What the Dopes might find out is that the flames of rage that they so carefully fanned and stoked have gone too far for them to simply stamp out now with half-hearted condemnation.   

PDJT has jumped the on issue and noted that the Dope party is now the party of Grand Nan from San Fran Pelooser and Maxine dumber than hoe handle Waters.  That’s not a good look for anyone.  In fact, by any standard, it is a down right ugly look.  The brand will stick.  PDJT’s branding always sticks. “Cryin’ Chuck” knows it.

The Figurative call to arms is in the sense that we need to get to polls in sufficient numbers to off-set Dope felons, illegals and dead people (all major Dope constituencies) who will be voting for Dopes in the mid-term.

I classify myself as a broken glass Republican – as in I will crawl on my belly like a reptile over broken glass to vote this Nov.

Have you noticed that after the worst MSM Dope pounding in history, PDJT is winning the day on the border security with a simple notion that Dopes want open borders in order to flood the country with illegal aliens who will vote Dope, crowd schools, hospitals and welfare lines while Republicans are for securing the border. 

It's the simplicity of the spot on message that makes it so effective.  Dopes know it and are beginning to run scared.  They'd have been 100 miles down the road were it  not for the unhinged Lefty Libs chained to them holding them to anti-American positions.

Having learned nothing from 2016, the Dopes are doubling down on a losing issue.  Good for them.  News flash: Wyle E. Coyote continues to drop Acme anvils on his head.

  

Today’s JG rant
After yesterday’s letter to the JG editor, I received this in the e-mail from the JG editors: 

Doug, we recently printed a letter from you. We try to print only one letter every 30 days from the same person...thank you. 

I responded: 

Dear unsigned person:

Thanks to the JG for printing my letter.  However, the JG printed it under a totally dishonest and misleading headline...again.  Any fair-minded person at the JG would recognize that. An accurate headline for my letter would have been: Endangering children unchristian 

Simply read the letter and choose between the two headlines:

Endangering children unchristian

'Unchristian' policies maintain order, safety 

Given the choice, I do not think 1 in a 100 people would choose the headline the JG used. 

Just like the last time I called the JG out on this issue, I believe the headline was a purposeful attempt by the JG to distort the meaning of the letter.  

The JG should make a correction, apologize and move on. 

Last, I know the JG’s editorial line.  Fine.  The JG buys the ink and newsprint and can print what it chooses, but if it wishes to maintain the veneer of being community oriented and even-handed, the JG should put a stop to such ham-handed deceit.  It only serves to reinforce the growing opinion among Americans that the media cannot be trusted. 

Is there an ombudsman at the JG to register this complaint? 

Respectfully, 

THE JG editorial page editor responded:Mr. Schumick,

I believe the headline was an accurate representation of the opinion expressed in your letter. The headline writer clearly chose to use the word "unchristian" in parentheses because its interpretation was the core theme. There was no attempt to distort the meaning. 

My apologies if you are unhappy with the headlines accompanying your letters. I certainly will understand if you choose to no longer submit any for publication in The Journal Gazette.

Karen Francisco

editorial page editor

So I tried again:

Ms. Francisco,

Thanks for taking the time to reply.

Of course you think the headline is accurate. Unchristian policies maintain order, safety - parentheses or no - is an unnecessary distortion, and I think you know it.  If President Trump visited Ft. Wayne by walking on water up the Maumee River, the headline in the morning JG would be, "Trump can't swim" and you'd think that was accurate as well.  

I appreciate that the JG would use nonsensical headlines to encourage me to stop writing, but I think I'll continue to write and challenge bogus ideas and headlines when they occur in the hope that professionalism and honesty will eventually win the day.  As I noted before, it's your paper.  You can be as underhanded or honest as you choose.  

Respectfully, 

I notice the question of an ombudsman is not addressed by Ms. Francisco.  None appears in the contacts page of the JG website.  I may take a minute out of my jam packed day today to give them a call.
