Wing Nut or Lug Nut? Which Are You?

Among the definitions of "wing nuts" is that a wing nut is a mentally deranged person. How appropriate! Lug nuts on the other hand are meant to keep the wheels from falling off. How appropriate! The question for America this coming election day is which do you want running your government, a Wing Nut or a Lug Nut? A wing nut in my book is someone, on either side of the aisle who doesn't care about the facts, they don't want to talk about it, whatever IT would be, and they feel that the only good Republican or Democrat is a "dead one" according to where their party blinders point them.

What are you? Are you a "Wing Nut" or are you a "Lug Nut"?

Personally I am a Lug Nut. I am trying to do all I can to keep the wheels from falling off the vehicle of State. If you are a "Wing Nut" you don't even have a pit crew. Your crew chief is one person sitting up in "the tower" just watching you go round and round and praying you won't run out of gas, which of course you will. It's just how much damage can you do before you do.

If you are a "Lug Nut", you do have a crew chief and a pit crew. Their job is to get feedback from you on how it's going, make adjustments as needed, and figure out just how much it takes to never run out of gas. You make changes according to the conditions on the ground and history has shown that this is the winning strategy for winning the "big one"!

This President and this Congress are bent on letting the wheels fall off. They appear not to be concerned about what will happen when they do. The wreck that this strategy will inevitably cause will be catastrophic and lots of other people will get hurt and they just don't care as long as they are in a position to push their strategy beyond the breaking point.

If you are a Wing Nut, even though you can see and feel the wheels falling off, you chalk it up to the rough terrain you have to go over to get to where you are trying to go. In fact your thought process is if only everything and everybody would just get out of your way, it would be smooth sailing for you. You ignore the warning lights on the dash, the blue smoke coming out of the back end, the steam coming out from under the hood because your crew chief keeps saying; "keep on keepin' on" So of course you do.

Wing Nuts, you are about to loose your sponsorship. Your car is not being returned to the garage, it is being hauled off to the junk yard. It has no scrap value and because you have spent billions even trillions trying to keep it going, you will no doubt skip town leaving some body else holding the bag. Your only hope is that over time people will forget about what you did and will someday let you back on the track. NOT THIS TIME!

The sponsors have had enough. They have seen through all your hype, pretty speeches that you couldn't give without a teleprompter, and maniacal obsession with power. You are finally being seen for what you are, all show and no blow, all hot air and no substance, and illiterate when it comes to being able to read the Constitution, history books or anything else that would help you understand just how far "off the track" you are.

You crashed your car, you are an unfit driver!

On November 2nd another race will begin. I am sure you will try and cobble together something to try and stay in the race. But we know who and what you are now. This will be an endurance race this time, which only begins on November 2nd. We have been training for a long time not to drive in fits and spurts, but for as long as it takes to win this race once and for all.

We are not going to put you in the winners circle again or let you drink from that cool bottle of milk. No making "donuts" on the track, no drivers hall of fame. All that will be left is a footnote in the history book that says; "they didn't do or care enough to send their very best". RIP my wing nut friend, rest in perpetuity!
