If Pigs Could Fly … If I Were A Rich Man … If I Only Had A Brain

If last night’s presidential debate revealed anything, it’s that Democrats are increasingly taken with saying “If.” Conditional sentences for scoring easy rhetorical points? As if.
Hillary Clinton: “If HIV/AIDS were the leading cause of death of white women between the ages of 25 and 34, there would be an outraged outcry in this country.”
Dennis Kucinich: “if Darfur had a large supply of oil, this administration would be occupying it right now.”
Mike Gravel: “If we weren’t squandering our treasure on this terrible war that we didn’t have to start, we would have 4 million housing units available, and a good portion of them could go to Katrina residents.”
The Democrats would do well to adopt the best “If” of all, Rudyard Kipings’s:
“If you can keep your head when all about you are losing theirs and blaming it on you …”

1. The leading cause of death among black males 18 to 34 is being shot by other black males 18 to 34. Where’s the outrage? Lost down a bunch of blind alleys labelled Midnight Basketball, Gun Control, Universal Health Care . . . .
2. Just who CARES what The Kuce or Gravel think about ANYTHING?
