Irregular Times Diaries: Unfit Discussion

Indiana Congressman Mike Pence has a way of exciting people’s emotions. He supports extreme policies from the right wing fringe and has shamelessly built up a range of unethical relationships with corporate lobbyists. It’s easy to get angry with Pence. I get it.

That said, Pence opponent George Holland seems to have allowed his reaction to Mike Pence’s regressive radicalism to go over the line. On his campaign site, Holland writes a list of reasons not to re-elect Pence, and his keyboard starts smoking when it comes to Pence’s support for recent wars:

“America’$ Imperiali$tic War$ & Occupation$
Would you die for a lie? Why should others?
1. The Iraq-Iranian War$ and Occupation$

2. The NATO Turkmeni$tan -Tran$ – Afghani$tan Paki$tani -
India Pipeline War$ & Occupation$”

Get the picture? There’s something about these wars that has to do with a bit of cash.

When political discontent works its way into expressive spelling, it may be time to stand aside for a moment and take slow, deep breaths.

But then, Holland seems to have let go of his fear of hyperventilation a long time ago, attacking Barack Obama for his alleged “Zionist” ways as well:

“Barack Obomber; A Psychopathic Liar, The
Reneger, A Thief, A Warmonger and
America’s Newest, Zionist President!
NATO & The New World Order!”

Sigh. Could former Democratic candidate Barry Welsh please re-enter the race?
