Join up, Let’s End This Thing in Indiana…

Matt and Joe are auto mechanics in Indiana.  It appears both guys were interviewed by an MSNBC journalist who provided this picture.  Meet Matt and Joe:

We don’t know this Matt and Joe.  Then again, they look like just about every Matt and Joe that we do know…. and if that’s the case, perhaps they are supporting Donald Trump for a similar reason.
Because, you see, Donald Trump says: “Make America Great Again”!  And when Trump says that, and puts his heart behind his specific intent to deliver it, we hear:
Someone who gives a damn about America, without apology; which is more valuable than a perfected highly-rehearsed skill set of 30 second sound bites and white paper policy instructions.
From our perspective any average hard-working American could eat every one of these pinky-ring candidates’ lunches, all of them, including Ted Cruz; and if they find themselves wanting to go down the intellectual superiority path… you know, like walking across the street to start a debate,…. well, that stuff is useless.

♦  Florida Power and Light won the prestigious International Edward Demming award for excellence in multi-platform engineering and efficiency superiority. They didn’t blow every PhD intellectual out of the water with slide rules, CAD programs and engineering acumen. They did it with hard hats and dirty fingernails.
Because they lost the award, the Japanese spent 6 months studying FPL and later published a 1,000 page dissertation essentially saying FPL “wasn’t really good, they were just lucky”….. FPL field leadership laughed, took out markers and wrote on the back of their hard hats: “WE’RE NOT GOOD, WE’RE RUCKY”….
♦ When every single Kuwaiti oil field was blown up by Saddam Hussein, they said it would take 5 years to cap them all off and restart their oil pumping industry. The Kuwaiti’s and Saudi’s called Texans, who had them all capped and back in working order in 10 months.
Excuse the cussing, but we are a nation that knows how to get shit done.
♦ When the Northern Chile mine workers were trapped two miles underground, they said no-one could save them. Who did they call for help? A bunch of hick miners from USA coal country who went down there, worked on the fly, engineered the rescue equipment on site, and saved every one of them….
That’s our America.
That’s Matt and Joe’s America.

♦ When a half-breed Islamic whack job, armed with an AK-47 and a goal to meet his virgins, began opening fire on a train in France, the Americans on board didn’t run to the nearest safe room and hide themselves amid baguettes and brie. They said “let’s go”, and beat the stuffing out of that little nut with a death wish.
Legion d’Honneur or not, that’s us.  That’s just how we roll.
Lady Liberty can stroll along the Champs-Elysées with a swagger befitting Mae West because without her arrival they’d be speaking German in the Louvre.
Yet for some insufferable reason, for the better part of the past decade, a group of intellectual something-or-others have been promoting an insufferable narrative that it’s better to be sitting around a campfire eating sustainable algae cakes and picking parasites off each other.
Enough.
When we hear Donald Trump say “Let’s Make America Great Again”, we also hear the familiar echo: “cowboy up” people.
It’s high time we stop being embarrassed about our exceptional nature, and start being proud of it again.   Because when it matters most, when it really counts, when it’s really needed, there’s a whole bunch of people all around this world of ours that are mighty happy when swagger walks in to solve their problems.
Yeah, “let’s make America great again”.  Swagger on !
