If there was a vet school lecture on assessing
health by nasal palpations, I slept through it.
When a client informs me their dog, cow, cat
or horse can or cannot be running a fever because
“his nose is wet,” or “his nose is dry,” I quickly
steer my examination to the rear end of the critter.
The true indicator of body temperature lies
under the tail.
The rectal thermometer is a great diagnostic
tool applicable to all animal species as well as
politics, which is why I mention it here.
With all major news outlets mostly promoting fake
news, social media has become society’s rectal
thermometer.
Facebook and Twitter may not be pretty, but
they reflect the health of our American culture to
those discerning enough to sort fictitious posts
from reality.
Last week, I read a truthful meme which
progressive cyber-monitors immediately scrubbed.
The anonymous author summed up today’s
boisterous political scene in a single sentence and
here it is:
“The Democrats haven’t been this mad since the
Republicans freed their slaves.”
Read that again.
Republicans both freed the slaves and later
battled the Democrats who resisted civil rights
legislation, yet today’s hate-filled progressives
hysterically scream Republicans are racist.
If you lift the tail of Facebook and take a
reading it is obvious progressives are spiking a
huge fever.
For example, Dawn is an ex-teacher and friend
who has fallen to the progressive dark side.
Vice-president Pence’s tie-breaking vote
confirming Betsy DeVos as Secretary of Education so
infuriated her she jumped on Facebook and posted
“F*** you Pence!”
Her post was immediately liked by dozens.
As accurate as a properly inserted digital
thermometer, social media indicates our American
culture is suffering from Trump Derangement Syndrome
(TDS).
The days of civil discourse between parties holding
differing core beliefs are gone and here is my take
on Secretary DeVos.
I am an expert in education because I have
one, as does my wife, our three children and their
spouses.
If you were to stack the 100 factors
affecting education from greatest to least, at the
top would be a student’s desire to learn.
In descending importance, far below
availability of free condoms, weekend backpack meals
and gender-neutral locker-rooms lies the factor of
least importance; the Secretary of Education.
Everyone afflicted with TDS should give
Facebook a rest, take two aspirin and your fever
should break by morning.
Trust me; I’m a doctor.
