Twenty-Five More Reasons Why I Could Never Be Elected to Office

“Please, another column with the other 25 reasons. I am with you on the first 25.” ~ A reader

“It is inaccurate to say that I hate everything. I am strongly in favor of common sense, common honesty, and common decency. This makes me forever ineligible for public office.” ~ H. L. Mencken

Back on election day in 2014, I gave twenty-five reasons why I could never be elected to office. I concluded that “if I had the time, I could give you twenty-five more reasons why I could never be elected to office.”

With such a “historic election” coming up, now is the time to do so.

  1. Every government (federal, state, and local) response to the Covid-19 “pandemic” has been irrational, draconian, and wrong.
  2. All U.S. troops should be withdrawn from Syria no matter what President Assad will do when they leave. Socialism: An Economic... Von Mises, Ludwig Best Price: $7.57 Buy New $12.95 (as of 07:00 UTC - Details)
  3. Fentanyl should be legal.
  4. Businesses should refuse entry and service to anyone wearing a mask.
  5. A marriage between two members of the same sex is no marriage at all.
  6. All farm subsidies should be ended, the USDA should be abolished, and agriculture should be treated as any other industry.
  7. The “Trump tariffs” have been destructive to American consumers and should be repealed.
  8. Since the children of Afghanistan war veterans are now serving in Afghanistan, the war there should be ended immediately no matter what might happen if U.S. troops leave.
  9. Just because someone joins the military does not make him a hero.
  10. Discrimination on the basis of sex should never include sexual orientation or gender identity.
  11. A biological male should never under any conditions or circumstances uses the women’s restroom.
  12. Obamacare should be repealed in its entirety and replaced with absolutely nothing, not even a Republican plan.
  13. The “Trump tax cuts” did not go far enough and taxes should be cut again.
  14. The trade deficit is meaningless and the Commerce Department should stop calculating it every month.
  15. No U.S. soldiers should ever be sent overseas no matter what war crimes, massacres, or atrocities are taking place there.
  16. The United States should remain neutral in every foreign conflict no matter who the “good guys” and the “bad guys” are.
  17. No corporation should have to pay corporate income tax.
  18. Teachers, healthcare workers, police, firemen, and “first responders” are not heroes just because they do their jobs. The Problem with Socia... Thomas DiLorenzo Best Price: $9.49 Buy New $11.93 (as of 06:45 UTC - Details)
  19. Price gouging should never be a crime no matter how bad a natural disaster is.
  20. Democrats and Republicans are two peas in the same pod with nary a difference between them.
  21. There should be no taxpayer-paid military chaplains.
  22. All U.S. belligerence toward Russia, China, and Iran should be stopped.
  23. The idea that climate change is caused by mankind is baloney, a lie, and a bunch of nonsense.
  24. If black lives really mattered, then black men would stop killing each other and black women would stop aborting their babies at such a high rate.
  25. The United States becomes more of a police state every year no matter who is the president or which political party is in charge.

There are many more reasons, of course, but these are enough to make people gnash their teeth and permanently disqualify me from being elected to office.
