[FairfieldLife] Re: Are You Going to Greet Him or Protest Him?
Trump and Coulter both appear to be part of a cadre of mean-spirited clowns, blowhards, and simpletons for the powers that be. Any time spent on them is another minute of air time filled, another left-hand turn into some manufactured absurdity, away from any issue that matters. They always gain power when people are angry and dissatisfied, ranting and raving about anything that will catch the public's ear, but always failing the test of setting something out that is sound and sustainable. Emotional sound-byte popcorn is all they are, and about as useful. It doesn't make it any more fun that they are as you say, toxic. They drain people's energy with their negative ideas, and confuse them with their incoherent flood of crap. Aside from however they are dressed up, they remain mouthpieces of distraction, and vain little peacocks, doing anything to remain in front of the mirror, and therefore easily manipulated. ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, wrote : ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, wrote : Re "I find her [Ann Coulter] utterly loathsome" : She was on BBC Radio 4's "Today" programme last week.
