We are living in an alternate universe from what I grew up in…
If a mentally-ill dude pretends to be a woman, you are required to pretend with him.
It’s un-American for the census to count how many Americans are in America.
Russians influencing our elections are bad, but Mexicans voting in our elections are good.
It was cool for Joe Biden to blackmail the President of Ukraine, but it’s an impeachable offense if Donald Trump inquires about it.
Twenty is too young to drink a beer, but eighteen is old enough to vote.
It’s wrong to steal, but it’s cool to demand that the government steal for you.
Sexualizing children is bad, but 11-year-old drag queens are good.
Illegals aren’t required to show ID, but citizens can’t buy cough medicine without it.
It’s okay for Iran to have nukes, but duck hunters should turn in their shotguns.
Citizens are fined if they don’t buy their own health insurance, and then they are forced to buy it for illegals.
People who have never owned slaves should pay slavery reparations to people who have never been slaves.
Inflammatory rhetoric is outrageous, but harassing people in restaurants is virtuous.
People who have never been to college should pay the debts of college students who took out huge loans for useless degrees.
Immigrants with tuberculosis and polio are welcome, but you’d better be able to prove your dog is vaccinated.
Irish doctors and German engineers who want to immigrate must go through a rigorous vetting process, but any illiterate Central-American gang-banger who jumps the southern fence is welcome.
We demand that the government be in control of our health care, but then we are outraged when the government makes our health care decisions.
$5 billion for border security is too expensive, but $1.5 trillion for “free” health care for illegals is not.
Men are evil misogynists, and a hooker named Stormy Daniels is a national treasure.
If you cheat to get into college you go to prison, but if you cheat to get into the country you go to college for free.
Politicians who say that the President is not above the law put illegal immigrants above the law.
Kids can’t bring peanut butter to school, but they can bring measles.
People who say there is no such thing as gender are demanding a female President.
It’s terrible when the President says that Puerto Rico’s politicians are corrupt, but it’s wonderful when Puerto Rico’s politicians are kicked out of office for corruption.
Illegals don’t pay taxes, but they get tax refunds.
We are $22 trillion dollars in debt, but we should throw money at every perceived problem like drunken sailors.
We see other countries going Socialist and collapsing, and it seems like a great plan to us.
We demand high minimum wages for unskilled labor, and we demand unlimited illegal immigration of people who will work for peanuts.
Voter suppression is bad, but not allowing the President to be on the ballot is good.
Fourth-of-July parades are bad, but parades of women dressed as vaginas are good.
Some people are held responsible for things that happened before they were born, and other people are not held responsible for what they are doing right now.
Am I missing any?
When I was 18 I could neither drink beer(legally) nor vote, but I could be deployed.
Amen to the above, I was underway at 18, first Christmas Day spent 12 hours on watch.
We are advised to NOT judge ALL Muslims by the actions of a few lunatics, but we are encouraged to judge ALL gun owners by the actions of a few lunatics. Funny how that works.
I agree that this is asinine…
The age of majority,
(age at which you are legally an adult)
Should be the same exact age for ALL of the requirements for an adult.
The same age for voting, purchasing alcohol tobacco and/or firearms. As well as the right to enter into legal contracts as an adult (such as military service, taking out a loan, buying a car, and especially committing to any and ALL education loans… etc etc etc).
I propose that age be 20 so that a child can graduate high school (hopefully and spend a couple of years WORKING before they start making some life altering decisions…
Who’s with me?
(crickets)
MSG Grumpy
(crickets)? Dude, you have to give us time, especially those of us in a different time zone who may have just gotten up. LOL.
Gonna disagree with you on parts of this one. What does it mean to “be an adult”? Does it mean that you are qualified to do all the things you listed? Is it possible that some of those things require more responsibility than others? I would be OK with someone at 18 being able to drink a beer, own a firearm, etc, but I am not convinced that they have the life experience and judgement to decide who should run the country or the state.
I agree. 21 would work for me. Mandatory service or civil service such as peace corp.
Carbon dioxide emissions will make the climate uninhabitable in ten years, but carbon free nuclear power isn’t part of the solution.
We can’t manage health care for our veterans, but we can spend 30 trillion plus to provide the same level of health care for everyone else.
A congresswoman has an advanced degree from a prestigious university, yet not only doesn’t know what a garbage disposal is, but she posts about her ignorance on social media.
If you wore blackface at a halloween party as a youth, you’re a card carrying klansman and deserve to be hounded out of society; unless you’re a democrat governor.
Ahem. I should like to point out that years ago, when I may have occasionally and hypothetically qualified as a “drunken sailor,” I did not through away my money.
Once again you are allowing yourself to be sane and rational. Not cool in today’s world.
All- Thanks for the comments, I deployed and drank and owned guns at 19… Actually other that deploy, I did all that at 18. MSG I’m good with 18 to be an adult. You ‘should’ be out of the parent’s house by then. I was…
Posted from my iPhone.
Deployed at 18, and likewise drank (on Federal reservations). They lowered the voting age to 18 when I was 19, but was 21 before the next Presidential election. And while I voted for Ford, “they” elected the guy who stuck to the roof of the White House. No joy for me, that go-round.
Lefties have their own way of viewing the world, and it doesn’t square with anything.
Fossil Fuel and Nuclear power are bad, but endangered-species chopping wind fans are good.
(NY specific) Prior knowledge of felon’s career is bad, but complete knowledge of all witnesses is good. (Seriously, not allowed to ask about criminal background, but the DA must furnish the defense the names, addresses, contact numbers, work info of all defendants and witnesses, which has already resulted in at least 1 high profile case.)
Military-Industrial complex is bad, yet MIC is the only one supposed to build space rockets.
Walls are bad for the US border, but walls are great for the elites.
Elites tell us We all gonna die from sea levels rising, but elites buy houses on the shore.
(CA exclusive) You will be fined for clearing clear your land around your house because endangered critters live in the piles of pine straw all over your yard, but then the government won’t take any preventative measures against wildfires.
A liberal, by modern definitions, is anything but, but a conservative, by modern actions, is. (Think about that. A real liberal would be more of a classical interpretation of libertarianism, not a renamed leftist fruitcake.)
Sex assault on a minor by a Christian priest is bad, but sexual grooming, pimping, use and even murder by a muslim is all ‘you must respect their culture…’
People with insurance must pay for all their meds, but drug users can get supplies and all the NARCAN they want for free.
In some places, property taxes are at a murderously insane rate, but homeless are allowed to camp for free anywhere they want (insert all sorts of definitions for ‘camp.’)
Gaaaahhhh!
You covered it pretty darn well.
That and more is how Cal is. Can’t wait for ‘Morning Shook’.
All- Thanks for the comments!

Don’t forget that the “homeless” can set up camp where ever they want, but the property owners can’t make them leave and are responsible for the cleanup.
Women have body autonomy, but rapists aren’t put in jail.
