Bullshit Platitudes!

Wouldn’t you know it.

Tubularsock is not out to make anything Melania Trump does significant but really the way the Republican Convention is going Donald had to have Melania speak because it appears from the cancellation list Melania is the only person that will.

Anyway. She gives her speech, you know like they “all” do from the political class from the heart. Just speaking those thoughts they deeply believe and sure there may be a speech writer or two or seven but Melania spoke from her deep held beliefs of, oh say a minute ago or such.

No different from Michelle Obama really. In fact, maybe even the same speech writers for all we know.

But Melania has been accused of plagiarizing passages from Michelle’s speech from 2008.

But here is Tubularsock’s question:

When did bullshit platitudes that Michelle spit out in 2008 and Melania spit out in 2016 become the “property” of anyone?
“. . . you work hard for what you want in life; that your word is your bond and you do what you say and keep your promise . . .”

Sorry, but if these words were “plagiarized” Michelle and Melania, you both stole them from Tubularsock’s father back before either of you were born!

OR

“We want our children in this nation to know that the only limit to your achievements is the strength of your dreams and your willingness to work for them.” 

Sorry, but Tubularsock’s father was all over this one too.

So Tubularsock has to say that this plagiarism accusation is really misdirected.

The difference is when Tubularsock’s father stated these bullshit platitudes, he really did believe them in his heart. Much of his generation did as well.
Not so much with shallow Michelle and Melania. Just think the difference in our political environment if ANY OF THEM just followed, “ . . . that your word is your bond and you do what you say and keep your promise . . .”

Can you even imagine the profound changes that would take place?

Well, dream on ……. it ain’t going to happen is this life cycle.
