Of course, that was precisely what the angry minion was saying.

The third line of attack from the minions seems to be a simple “how dare you?” response. I encountered this after the publication of a column in my local hometown newspaper. After stating the obvious about President Obama’s economic plan - - that his plan has essentially nothing to do with growing the private sector economy, and everything to do with creating more government control over private individuals and businesses - - I had people, literally, stopping me around town to ask “how dare you?” - - or something similar.

While attending a school function with my ten year old son, another Dad confronted me and asked, “how could you say such a terrible thing about the President of the United States?”

“I supported my claims in the column” I told the Dad. “It’s all right there in the text.”

“But how could you say such a thing about the President?” he asked.

“What part of my analysis was inaccurate?” I replied.

“But this meltdown isn’t Obama’s fault” he stated.

“So what‘s your point? What part of my analysis was inaccurate?”

“But he’s trying to do the right thing, Austin…….”

I hope you remain willing to ask questions. But be prepared for the attacks - - and by all means, don’t expect any rational answers.
