laiming that critical race theory teaches children to think the United States is racist. Now isn't that true? These are two sentences, both from an opinion piece on CNN today by Manu Raju, Alex Rogers and Melanie Zanona. And see if these two sentences, and they're both right together, make sense to you. They say the term critical race theory blah blah means that racism has been systematically ingr…

Do you think Biden's gonna want Democrats to run again knowing that the Democratic government gave people who broke a law in this country $80,000 dollars a piece because we inconvenienced them? I mean it's more than inconvenience, but you know I'm speaking sort of hyperbolic here. No, no. The Democratic Party would just be out of business completely, even more than they probably are. We'll talk about that. But in my opinion it is so completely politically impossible that Biden was telling the absolute truth. By I think Biden's answer that it was garbage is the accurate one, politically speaking.
Now of course the DOJ can act independently, right? But it looks like the Republicans are going to do a bill and maybe stop the payments even if the DOJ wanted to. So there will be plenty of machinations that will stop this from happening. I don't think you have to worry about it. So it's a semi-fake news. It's true and false at the same time.
Tom Elliott tweeted a little clip in which former Obama campaign manager Stephanie Cutter was talking about the election in Virginia. And she said the one thing that we need to make sure of is that Republicans in 2022 don't become the party of parents, because the Democrats know they're in trouble if the Republicans become obviously the ones who are taking care of children and the Democrats are not. Is she right? Well too late. Too late. As Mr. Durr noted, the truck driver who won his race, as Mr. Durr notes, he said that the Democrats went too far because they were messing with our children. So the truck driver, an established incumbent presumably, on the message: stop messing with our children. Now he said messing. I use the F word. But again the Democrats have this blind spot about how Republicans think that I don't know is the same on the other side. It might be. Maybe that works both ways. But there's a gigantic blind spot.
Let me give you, there are two blind spots. Number one, and I've talked about this. When Alec Baldwin had his tragic firearms accident there, and people on the left could not understand why people on the right were saying no, it's Alec Baldwin's responsibility, period. When logical, rational people were saying, "Wait a minute, rationally he was part of a system in which that responsibility was delegated. It's a mature system. It works all the time. There's a reason they do it. Should have been safe. He made a reasonable decision. There's no liability." Now what's every gun owner say? Blah blah blah. He had the gun in his hand. It's his responsibility, period. Blah blah blah.
Now the left can't understand that because they're like, "Ah, don't you understand that clearly there can be exceptions, right? You can make an exception. Use your common sense and make an exception." And the exception in this case would be that the safety had been delegated to somebody who's a professional to make sure it's safe. That should have been good enough

. Common sense. And then the gun owners say, "The gun was in his hand. It's his responsibility. That's the end of the conversation." Who's right? Well there's a weird hybrid going on here. I believe that gun owners are rationally irrational. Here's what I mean. The moment you say, you know this isn't an absolute, we're going to say there are gun safety rules and responsibilities and stuff but use…
