I’ve been hearing more and more politicians, ex-politicians, pundits, and other blathering idiots declaring that Russian interference with our election in 2016 is an “Act of War“. Okay, let’s run with that premise. If it is an act of war against us, what should be our response? If we use the President Obama playbook, we should be targeting President Putin with some drone strikes. Anyone think that would be a good idea?
Is Putin a bad guy? In my book unquestionably yes! I’m in no way defending the man. But let’s look at what seems to have happened during the electoral process.
More rhetorical questions. Were any vote tallies “hacked” or falsely generated by Russian interference? Is there any evidence that the election process itself was tampered in ANY WAY? Nope. The answer by ALL the intelligence agencies is a resounding NO. So what was THE ACT OF WAR?
Well, someone, MOST LIKELY, the Russians or their operatives broke into the Democratic National Committee’s email server, John Podesta’s email account, and possibly Hillybob’s non-government approved email server. That was the basis for this so called ACT OF WAR. Let’s take a closer look at this act of war.
I have disdain for “real” hackers of all types. Anyone who breaks into computer systems whether for fun, profit, or mayhem is a criminal and should have at a minimum, their genital parts removed. Breaking into the DNC email server and Podesta’s email account was flat out wrong.
How could this have been prevented? Well some simple security measures on their servers would have prevented the DNC problem. If Podesta wasn’t an idiot getting scammed for his password, that could have easily been prevented.
BUT the simplest solution would been to have RUN AN HONEST CANDIDATE AND HAVE HONEST PEOPLE RUNNING THE CAMPAIGN. What came out? DNC Chairman Wasserman-Schultz was derailing Sander’s campaign. Her replacement, Interim DNC Chairmain Donna Brazile was forwarding questions to Hillybob BEFORE she was questioned at a town hall event. We also found out that Dems look at Hispanics as “Needy Latinos”. We saw that they have similar disdain for other minorities that vote for them. We also found out that the Dem machine hates Christians of all denominations, Catholics and Evangelicals alike.
Hey, liberals, how about next time, try to have some VALUES and live HONORABLY by those values. That way even if you get hacked, there won’t be huge coils of rope to hang yourselves with!
