Out of Touch?

So, I see and hear that the Dems are all over Mitt Romney for his "bet" of $10,000 against Rick Perry. Several Dems, including the head of the Mich Dem Party, said this shows how "out of touch" Romney is with middle-class America. Yeah, right. Then how do these folks explain away their guy Obama's $30,000 a plate dinner last week, oh, with the Wall Street-types and bankers? I forgot--that's different. Here we go again, situational ethics and principles. Another great example of hypocrisy.

K told someone the other day that, according to Ron, Ron is never wrong. That in itself is wrong. I'm wrong a lot and in important things. But, when I discuss matters with people, there are two things I won't tolerate. People can have their own opinions, right or wrong. But they aren't entitled to their own facts. And, they aren't allowed to be hypocrites. Those things, I think, were got me a bit riled up the other day.

George Will had a very good column yesterday. He makes a very convincing case that Gingrich shouldn't be the Rep nominee; nor should Romney. Esp with Gingrich, there was always something about the guy that I didn't like that I couldn't put my finger on--but Will did, explaining it very well. If Gingrich or Romney (or even Paul, esp with his foreign policy) is your guy, you'd do well to read this column. It would certainly, at least, make you think about your choice. Google Will and the recent date.

I see there's a flap about Lowe's not sponsoring that Arab show on one of the cable networks. (Yeah, "reality show" my bejabbers!) I have never seen the show and don't plan on it. I have far more important things to do with my life (winding down to my personal "final days") than to watch television, esp those kinds of shows. (No, I've never seen Survivor, American Idol, Great Car Race, etc.) Lowe's is free to sponsor what it wants. Other companies are, too. People, then, are free to boycott Lowe's for not sponsoring and others for sponsoring. This is America. People and companies should realize that their actions have consequences. I think a Detroit News columnist, whose name escapes me, missed the point in yesterdays's or today's newspaper. And I wonder if she's ever been to Dearborn, in an Arab store waiting to be served and continually get pushed to the back of the line as Arabs who come into the store are waited on first. I'd think not. Obviously, that doesn't have in every store, but in enough of them to be noticeable. No, the columnist doesn't see stuff like that.
