Just call me ‘pugnacious.’

That didn’t take long. Uproars burn from little sparks. Yes, many small-town, white Americans are bitter, xenophobic, and cling to their religion and guns. That’s the word I should have used. Xenophobic. 

Most middle-class voters have no idea what it means. Now I’m being called ‘pugnacious’ for defending what I said. It’s a good thing that most people don’t know what that means, either.

People understand ‘irresponsible and naive‘. That’s what Hillary calls me. So, I called her ‘irresponsible and naive‘ for voting for the war in Iraq. Did anyone notice that she never apologized for her vote? Why? That’s not what politicians do.

Somehow, in the twisted world of what makes up politics in Washington, D.C., pugnacious is acceptable as a good trait, but showing weakness and apologizing in public for a huge mistake of epic proportions is considered a mistake.
