The Man in the Basement versus “The Man in the Arena”

The Man in the Basement versus “The Man in the Arena”

(1 Minute Read) Democrats’ ears were finally assuaged hearing Joe Biden speaking in his grandpa, comfy chair voice that the world is sweetness and money trees exist: China is our friend and we should be rooting for their economic success; we need to speak nicer to Iran so they won’t try and blow us up; Covid is easily solved if everyone will simply mask themselves and submit to periods of lockdown where everyone stays home from work; America can absorb innumerable illegal migrants’ and your bills will be paid for by the middle class money tree. Everything is fine. Don’t listen to the “orange man” because that  “strong man stumbles” and that “doer of deeds could have done them better.”

Into the arena strides the “orange man” ,  “marred by dust and sweat and blood “ in the street smart successful New York businessman voice: China is provably stealing our intellectual property and increasing their military prowess with the stolen property; virulently Anti-Judeo-Christian Iran is our enemy striving to hold nuclear weapons over our heads; Covid can be beaten by using common sense safety, overcoming the fear mongering, and most importantly,  getting back to work. There is no middle class money tree. If you over tax them, the middle and upper class will simply leave with their businesses, and you will eventually be left with bad welfare checks only Communist China can redeem.

“It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.”

Theodore Roosevelt, April 23, 1910

Democrats want to talk and settle. Republicans want to strive and work. We have to fight with everything we have, according to the law, to save America and The West.
