Tim Kaine Strikes Again

Back in 2016, I wrote a post called “A Challenge to the Title of Most Clueless Catholic”. Now, believe me, we have a lot of contenders. But one man has stepped forward with a great update to his resume in this battle: Tim Kaine, senator from Virginia. Here is Tim schooling us on where our rights come from:

Not only does he look stupid with those glasses in the middle of his forehead, he sounds stupid.

Perhaps Tim missed this in his Jesuit training - from the Declaration of Independence:

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.--That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, --That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.

How can a senator from Virginia be so blatantly stupid?

I was very happy to see Bishop Barron put out this rebuke on X, addressing the concerns this raises.

Tim is not only clueless, but like most Democrats, he's dangerous. The race for the title is still on, but Kaine seems to have broken out into a sprint.

    It appears, once again, that the posts from X did not embed properly. It always seems to be a crap shoot on whether they do or not. Drives me insane. I have reported this in the Support Portal.

    Given our prior conversation, I think it is clearly the forces of darkness taunting us. So it goes.

    I was pleased to see Bishop Barron speak out. We should not tolerate Leftists trying to replace God with government.

    I heard a co-worker say much the same years ago. I asked if he had read the Declaration, he said, "Well, I dispute that." No, he is not stupid. He didn't earn that Stanford mechanical engineering Ph. D. by being stupid. Ignorant of government and philosophy? Probably.
