A few words on Dad’s day


We were briefly thumbing thru today’s Chicago Tribune and came across the following on page 5 of Section 4 – Campaign book season.  No, we did not read the article but five books are displayed all with pictures of the “author” and each is a current candidate for US president and two are guys and three are gals.

Today is Fathers Day, 2019 – this guy writing these few words is a dad and he has met with or spoken with his kids, today – all grown adults – good citizens – dad loves them and they love dad.   This small group has several things in common – obey the law, help others and pay off debts or obligations they incur.

I did not read the article about the five dopes mentioned in the first paragraph above – I don’t know if the two guys are dads – and don’t care.  What I do care about is leaving a country to anyone who looks or acts or behaves or pretends to be anything other than what they are – 1st class nincomPOOPs.     Those four letters are capitalized for a very simple reason – these five and many more coming from the two parties – we refer to them as the 435/100/9 + 000,000’s more across our once land of the free, home of the brave are almost all – almost 100% - in need of POOP flushing.   Most good people do POOP flushing daily.

Is this “flushing” idea ours? 

Please read the following and you may discover/learn that it’s not just us – but as the fellow below observes/states we, us dads, and others are way past due in our needed periodic POOP flushing of the many smellyones (i.e. natural manure) in this once land of the free, home of the brave.

Extract from Thomas Jefferson to William Stephens Smith

Paris Nov. 13. 1787.

The people can not be all, & always, well informed. The part which is wrong [. . .] will be discontented in proportion to the importance of the facts they misconceive. If they remain quiet under such misconceptions it is a lethargy, the forerunner of death to the public liberty. We have had 13. States independent 11. Years. There has been one rebellion. That comes to one rebellion in a century & a half for each state. What country before ever existed a century & half without a rebellion? & what country can preserve it’s liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon & pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots & tyrants. It is it’s natural manure.

To all good Dads – a good Day
