Better to be thought a fool than to be Curt Schilling and...oh, never mind....

I’ve known Mr. Trump for a little over a decade. Our first encounter, and subsequent encounters, had to do with his request for me to appear on the apprentice. We spoke at length every time we got together. I realized very quickly this was a man decisive in action and confident in his ability. While I don’t agree with him there are two incredibly important things he possesses that neither candidate on the Soviet ticket do. He loves this country. You can laugh, you can mock, but you also are full of crap if the current administration has ever given you the confidence that they love this nation above all else. He will protect my family, and my loved ones.

It’s often been said (occasionally by me) that when you screw up, sometimes the best thing you can do is take your medicine, learn whatever lessons there are to absorb, and move on. There’s little to be gained by revisiting and endeavoring to rewrite history when it’s not only unfavorable to your cause but reveals you to be a right fool. This is where Curt Schilling enters this narrative, blessed as he is with a distressing lack of self-awareness and an ego roughly the size of a battleship. Arrogant, self-righteous, and combative to the very end, Schilling has an impressive penchant for self-righteously shooting himself in the foot…and blaming others for the hole left by the bullet.

Never one for niceties like courtesty and respect, Schilling is known for voicing some distressingly ignorant and insensitive opinions, then neglecting to recognize or acknowledge his faux pas. Yes, Schilling is an inveterate Right-wing troll, gifted with every bit of the smug arrogance one might expect of someone convinced beyond all reason of his unquestioned rectitude and moral superiority.

A very wise man once wondered why it is that fools seem so full of conviction and self-confidence even as those blessed with intelligence are consumed with self-doubt. I doubt Curt Schilling could address that conundrum with any clarity.

And he seemed so nice….

Let me also comment on you frauds in the liberal media.

But your liberal agenda has you lying your asses off to a group of people too lazy to do the work on their own, to listen and decide on their own.

But you knew that, just like you know Hillary Clinton is as guilty as the day is long, and as responsible for the deaths of 4 Americans, including an ambassador she was sworn to protect.

Those that still listen and believe you, and the massive amount of misinformation you publish are the lazy sheep and apathetic folks who will pull a lever for the felon or the socialist come next election.

It’s interesting- and telling- that Schilling focuses with laser-like intensity on the four Americans killed in Benghazi- a tragedy by any account but hardly a conspiracy- but hasn’t been nearly as vocal about the 3000 Americans killed on 9/11. Could it be that his racism, misogyny, and hyper-partisanship has blinded him? Nah, that couldn’t be it…could it?? He’s just telling it like it is…right???

Reading (or listening to) one of Schilling’s rants is an exercise in observing the aggressive ignorance and dismissiveness of those with the temerity to disagree with him. You see, Curt Schilling KNOWS right from wrong, just as he KNOWS that all you bleeding-heart Liberals are leading America down a path guaranteed to destroy the country he loves so dearly. HOW DARE YOU???

I might be willing to cut him a bit of slack…if he could show a modicum of respect for those who choose to travel a different path. Instead, he insults with frequency those whose beliefs, lifestyle, and/or sexuality he finds repulsive, just as he refuses to tolerate those who decline to acknowledge the obvious correctness of his views and his clear and undeniable moral superiority. Such cretins are clearly and obviously unworthy of being treated with respect and dignity, qualities Schilling seems unable to process under even the best of circumstances.

Then again, it’s hard to respect someone totally devoid of professionalism, kindness, and respect for others…and who accepts no responsibility for any fallout resulting from his actions and words.

Karma can be a real bitch, and Schadenfreude is a dish best served cold. Too bad for Schilling he had to learn that truth the hard way.
