The Daily Cartoon and Live Briefing: Wednesday, June 26, 2024

June 26, 2024 | FlaglerLive | 7 Comments

Clay Jones Commandments
From Clay Jones: “Republicans love to accuse Democrats of being socialist spenders and giving away free money. They blame our deficit on Democrats and cry that our children will be the ones paying it off. But the fact is, Republicans spend more money, create more debt, and lie about it. But, Republicans don’t talk about the national debt when they hold the White House. They never said anything about debt when Reagan, Bush, the other Bush, or Trump were in the White House but as soon as a Democrat enters, they’ll start howling about debt again. So, you would think Republicans wouldn’t wanna talk about religion and act all pious when supporting the pussy-grabber-in-chief. But nope, they pretend like it’s business as usual. It’s like a Texas church preaching at you while the pastor is a pedophile. You would also think they’d shut up about patriotism after trying to reinstall a president who lost the election. Coups and insurgencies by white nationalist terrorists are not patriotic.”

Notably: Saint Paul in 1 Corinthians 13:11: “When I was a child, I spoke as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child; but when I became a man, I put away childish things.” And what a shame you did. What a shame that this sad abnegation by one of the grimmer influencers of human history continues to be taken so seriously. Its opposite isn’t the answer of course. We need not be children forever. But we were children once (the more innocent and idealistic reversion of We Were Soldiers Once… And Young), not to have that experience discarded, but to carry it with us, to inform our adulthood as only a childhood can. How miserable, how hollow, how pointless would our lives be if we were born adults, if we never had “childish things” to discard, if we did discard all our childish things, and lived exclusively in the prison house of adulthood? No doubt Robin Williams had a talk with Paul in the garden of Evens.

—P.T.

They talked about religion, and the slack way the world was going nowadays, the decay of behavior, and about the younger children, whom these topics always brought at once to mind. On these subjects they were firm, critical, and unbewildered. They had received educations which furnished them an assured habit of mind about all the important appearances of life, and especially about the rearing of young. They relied with perfect acquiescence on the dogma that children were conceived in sin and brought forth in iniquity. Childhood was a long state of instruction and probation for adult life, which was in turn a long, severe, undeviating devotion to duty; the largest part of which consisted in bringing up children. The young were difficult, disobedient, and tireless in wrongdoing, apt to turn unkind and undutiful when they grew up, in spite of all one had done for them, or had tried to do: for small painful doubts rose in them now and again when they looked at their completed works. Nannie couldn’t abide her new-fangled grandchildren. “Wuthless, shiftless lot, jes plain scum, Miss Sophia Jane; I cain’t undahstand it aftah all the raisin’ dey had.”

–From Katheryn Ann Porter’s “The Old Order” (1955).

    A short while ago, one of the FlaglerLive contingent of gullible commenters repeated the mantra that government never makes anything better.

    In 1994, the “Northridge” earthquake leveled a bridge, closing the 10 Freeway, a major Los Angeles traffic artery. Motorcycle sales skyrocketed as commuters looked for ways to get around the traffic snarls that made commutes hours longer than normal. The California government coordinated a rebuild of the entire bridge in three months. After 11 short weeks, the Port of Baltimore is now fully reopened.

    These are but two of the examples of a government making a disaster, either natural or manmade, better. The gullible commenter wanted just one reason. The list will go on and on and one. Once again, he is wrong.

    flaglerlive should be more about the news and not so much about political opinions. Always disappointing when I open the webpage for this newspaper. Real Journalism is a thing of the past.

    Aside from their hyper partisan beginnings (the debates on the US Constitution took place in a media landscape of violently opinionated newspapers and pamphlets that would put Fox and Facebook fabrications to shame, though the Federalist Papers crinkled out of that landscape) newspapers have thankfully always had opinion sections, which the reader has been free to ignore, alongside news pages. It’s what makes it an interesting read, what makes us an interesting society, to the extent that we’re willing to be challenged. What you object to, of course, is the opinion itself, not the medium, but confusing the two has its conveniences.

    Yes, and political cartoons have always been a big part of newsprint history.
