So now this President, Trump came out and said we should have a nationwide ban on German luxury automobiles.
What is this guy smoking?
Can you even imagine this?
Banning the entire nation of their BMWs, Mercedes Benz and Audi automobiles, at least?
What would his big, wealthy donors drive?
Lincoln Continentals?
Please. Who are we kidding?
But here's where the "political correctness" comes in.
Why aren't we seeing and hearing reporters, especially from local TV stations, going out to the local German luxury auto dealers and asking them what they think of this idea?
Why don't we see and get that?
I'll tell you why.
We don't see that because the local TV stations and newspapers and media outlets don't want to alienate any advertisers or readers.
Dime to a doughnut says those owners and even, likely, the managers of those luxury car dealers are high paid Republicans or at least Right Wingers. The last thing they want to do is get on the airwaves, TV, radio or get quoted in the newspaper with their picture, saying it's the outrageously stupid idea it is. God forbid they tell the truth and push away some Trump follower who was just about to plop down $58,000 or more on a brand new, shiny, 4 wheel automobile from Stuttgart.
And it's the same way with the churches.
When was the last time you heard a huge outcry from any church or from any pulpit when some government representative or government agency comes out and announces cuts in programs for the poor?
The answer, of course, is either never or long, long ago.
Once again, those ministers and priests up there giving sermons don't want to run the risk of alienating some Right Winger or Republican in the pew. God forbid they not make their weekly contribution to the plate he's about to pass around, pun heavily intended.
Political party wants to give yet more tax cuts to the already-wealthy and corporations, thus driving up the national debt, drastically, while they push for cuts to even Social Security and Medicare and Medicaid?
Sure! No problem! You won't hear a word from any "man of God."
Who's that Jesus guy?
Wha'd he say? What was he about?
So local news outlets? KMBC? KCTV5? WDAF?
What say you?
Do you have any guts?
Will you stop reporting on the latest kitty cat videos on Youtube on our evening news and instead, go out to Aristocrat Motors on I-35 or some such and ask the owner there what he thinks of this President and his brilliant idea?
Please?
We dare you.
