Our Bill of rights and an Old Chinese Menu - One from Column A and One from Column B | Eastern North Carolina Now

    I had hoped that I had written my last political post, but such naivety is out of character for me. Accordingly, I offer another rant as we begin our assault on the Electoral College and UNFAIRNESS of not allowing the popular vote to select our presidents.

    I guess protest were to be expected, as that seems to be the only way that a large percentage (perhaps majority) of our population reacts to the reality that not all things go their way. How could we elect a President who did not receive the most popular votes? Once again, we see the deficiency of our educational system. About the only thing this proves to me is that the Constitution of the United States is not the law of the land unless it allows the rule of mobs, malcontents, and disadvantaged.

Explanation of the Electoral College

    It is also somewhat interesting that the legal protection of the MINORITY population is not quite as important as it was on November 7, 2016.Bu minority I mean the voters for Trump who are less than 50%.I guess it depends on what the definition of MINORITY is is. Some anger is to be expected and protesters will point to the fact that they are protected by the 1st amendment which allows peaceful protest. Our country is quickly deteriorating into a society based on Chinese Menus of the mid-twentieth century. For those too young to remember the old Chinese restaurant menus allow us to pick our choices from two columns, A&B. If you wanted another item that came at extra cost as a side item. Today I suspect we are heading to the point where we get to pick our rights from a column of selections, but only with the approval of the chef. They added the Family Meal option later due to the demand for more variety and diversity of choice. I wonder if the left leaning champions of the rights will stand up and caution about the rule of mobs now that the roles are reversed.

    Unlike today's Chinese menus, our society has regressed from the diversity of a little bit of everything for everybody to share to the old yours and mine choices of bygone days. Perhaps the only thing missing is the all you can eat admonition.

NO SHARING



   Here is what possibly won Trump the election. Some will not understand it but these are the people who make this country work and for the most part they are not part of the high population centers of the United States, but the one who eventually got fed up with the status quo.


    Just in case you are in the camp of Presidential Elections being determined by the rule of majority of voters, remember this little tidbit from an unknown author.

DEMOCRACY IS TWO WOLVES AND ONE SHEEP VOTING ON WHAT IS FOR DINNER.


   Nine States hold over 50% of the population. Do you want them to make all the decisions?

Regardless of who was your champion in this past presidential election: Will you recognize the duly elected leader of the Free World?
  I will never recognize President Donald J. Trump because he is not worthy.
  I will recognize President Donald J. Trump, providing he respects the office in which he holds.

I'm not expecting this to be the last word, but the Electoral College worked perfectly as our Founders intended it to work.

I dream of Hillary no more. Another relationship gone bad.

I had an opportunity to go in partners on a cottage on Nags Head but I get enough of that first word at home.

The way North Carolina is growing, I have no doubt it will move up the list anyway.

I am satisfied to keep that damn HB 2 law, and all offended Yankees can stay where they are.

Plus, I wouldn't advise anyone to put their last home on the Outer Banks ... not after Matthew.

If you could just get 150,000 more Yankees to move to the Outer Banks you could move ahead of Georgia on this list, but you have that damn old HB 2 law.
