How About A Red, White, And Blue New Deal?

I know many Americans are chomping at the bit to turn our entire economy over to a bunch of coastal blue city hipsters and college professors, along with all our money and our personal freedom, because of a dubious moral panic over future weather, but I’d like to suggest a better idea.


I call it the Red, White and Blue New Deal, and it’s a little different than the proposed Green New Deal that seems to benefit only virtue signaling limo libs, crony capitalists, and aspiring commissars. The Red, White and Blue New Deal would, instead, be directed at benefiting Normal Americans – you know, those people who built our country, feed it, fuel it and defend it. People like you and me. So, here it is. All of it:

Support your own damn self and leave me the hell alone.

That’s it. That’s my Red, White and Blue New Deal.

What do you think?

Now, one of the virtues of my innovative proposal is its simplicity. It requires no “massive” mobilization of our whole society in a collective campaign to pursue some arbitrary goal that a bunch of liberals who never ran anything but their lying mouths picked out for us. It requires no additional national debt. It requires no huge, unresponsive deadweight bureaucracy to implement. In fact, it requires nothing at all besides what you and me have always done – work for a living.

Here it is again, in its entirety:

Support your own damn self and leave me the hell alone.

Now, the left is going to find this comprehensive scheme problematic for many reasons, primarily among them because it does not take the fruits of our labor and our freedom and hand them over to those very same leftists. As you look at the Green New Deal, you may wonder, “How does this plan make me freer or more prosperous?” But, of course, it does neither. Neither your freedom nor your prosperity is the purpose of the Green New Deal, nor the purpose of any of the other countless moral equivalents of war they are always proposing. Climate change is just the latest excuse for their pinko power grab. If it wasn’t the fake weather religion, it would be some other imminent danger of certain doom that required you to give up your money and freedom RIGHT NOW NO TIME TO THINK THE CHILDREN THE CHILDREN THE CHILDREN!

Dave T: Bravo! Eloquently spoken by you Joe?? Well done. I couldn't agree more. Young people out there, read this article and then read it again so you can learn from those who were here before you. There is wisdom and experience in those words!
With that said, it is deeply troubling to me to hear many younger folks today clinging to the word "progressive" as if it were something new and different that we all need today. Fact is, it's not. Liberals are focused on brainwashing today's youth because it's no secret that young people are easily impressionable and sometimes also misinformed. They're also doing it because liberals know the older folks have too much experience to fall for their sugar coated lies, and older folks remember more clearly what happened in our more distant past. Progressive ideology is linked to socialism, which in turn is also linked to communism. Remember that, and if you forget, just look at Venezuela and you'll get a clear reminder of why progessivism, socialism, and communism are a failure. To further support this article, I have two pieces of sage advice: 1). If it sounds too good to be true, that's because it is. 2). If you want a helping hand in life, you'll find it at the end of your own arm.
