The Zombies are EVERYWHERE! Stop the INSANITY!

In this installment of 'A View From the Deck', J. Wiley Dumas questions recent actions by our nations officials, and asks "WHAT are they THINKING?"

NOTE: The following is OPINION. It is the Point of View of the author, and he alone takes full responsibility for its content

I swear there are a plethora of brain-dead officials, mindless zombie minions, and others running things in this country. The news out of ‘Wonderland on the Potomac’ just gets more ridiculous each day, and really gets one to wondering if even one-quarter of the nation’s officials and policy-makers are playing with a full deck.

Lemme give ya just a couple examples of what I mean…

The acting director of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), John Sandweg, is a former criminal defense attorney who represented convicted murderers, sex offenders and pedophiles, and fought for the release of violent convicted offenders; a background some critics say makes him a less than ideal choice to lead the federal government's second-largest law enforcement agency.

Sandweg worked between 2002 and 2009 defending violent criminals in Arizona (and helping then-governor and current Secretary of Homeland Security Janet Napolitano, who is due to be out on her keister soon, raise campaign funds).

Last week, Sandweg took over as acting director of ICE after director John Morton stepped down. He is believed to have the inside track for the nomination for the permanent position. Napolitano has announced her own resignation and has already been picked to head the 10-campus University of California system.

This clown has zero law enforcement experience and he is running our country’s second-largest law enforcement agency? Why is such insanity being tolerated?

ARGH! WHY?

Ya can’t make this crap up, folks.

And speaking of California…

California Governor Jerry Brown just signed a bill granting Transgender students, ages K-12, to choose whichever restrooms and locker rooms they want to use, wherever they feel most comfortable.

Okay, so Kindergartners are capable of making such decisions? Fifth-graders? Shouldn’t this be a more adult decision, rather than leaving it in the hands of legal minors?

Never mind the fact that non-transgender students might feel uncomfortable with the decision, which could be construed as ‘Invasion of Privacy.’

Brown stated that the act was designed “to prevent bullying.”  Never mind that some students might turn on a Transgender student because they don’t understand the person identifies with a different sex from that of their physical appearance.

But, hey, it’s California, and Jerry Brown. A guy not really known as being the sharpest crayon in the box. What a combo platter, huh?

I fully understand the difficulties that true Transgender people face, and I believe they, as adults, should be able to make certain personal decisions.

But this is not about adults. It’s about school-aged children.

My fear is that he has now placed Transgender students, particularly those that are not yet fully mature enough to tell a difference between being true transgender or just confused as to their gender identity, potentially into harm’s way.

Remember, not all people are as understanding about certain things as Gov. Brown. And not all of ‘the Golden State’ is as liberal-minded as the mindless of Sacramento and San Francisco.

This inexplicable action serves to give additional Rights to one specific group over others. Not exactly a rare occurrence these days, now is it?

Yes, we are all ‘equal.’

But I guess Orwell got it right, again. “Some animals are more equal than others.”

I know there are other things that should be mentioned in this diatribe, but these two suffice to call attention to the fact that moronic decisions are being made (by brain-dead zombie morons) that have an effect on every single American citizen.

And it has to stop.

The problem is that the American Political System has been geared to give favoritism to those that can afford to sit at the table. Truly qualified people, people just like you, are nullified by the incredible cost of campaigning.

Meanwhile, the brain-dead minions of partisan politics and special interests continue to roam about Wonderland and the rest of the nation, sucking the life-force (and life savings) out of those of us who spend our days just trying to make it through.

As Susan Powter used to scream in the ‘90’s:

“STOP THE INSANITY!”

I guess the ‘Zombie Apocalypse’ is upon us.

Si vis Pacem, Para Bellum
