REGAN: Remarks show insecurity
I was really saddened to read about Mr. Regan and his wife’s fear of our president. I was wondering what it was in particular that really got them quaking?
Is it the Harvard business suit he wears that scares them most? Or is the way his ears stick out some? Is it the self-deprecating smile when he is cracking a joke or the really stern look on his face when he is addressing a greedy, obstructionist, sell-out legislative body? When he speaks in English does that give them the tremors?
It must be trying for Mr. Regan to perform his job. I’m sure that he meets some black people in the course of his duties here in Idaho. Surely? And how does he keep his fear under control when dealing with black children in our school system if every time he sees them he likens them to an assault rifle, a deadly weapon that can snuff out his life with the mere pull of a trigger. Please correct me if I am wrong, but wasn’t the puller of that trigger a white boy?
I must admit, I am curious how he and his wife deal with travel in America? Do they just stay home in debilitating fear that they would see scary black people at the gas station, the airport, their destination? It also seems to be that their fear would also extremely limit their TV viewing, because there again, there are scary black people on TV. They sing, they dance, they act and tell jokes.
It is too bad that Mr. Regan and his wife suffer from this condition that would appear to limit their abilities to appreciate the contributions of Americans. Has he thought about asking for a rehabilitative leave from his duties? Maybe Sen. Goedde could help him out instead of taking a second go-round at teachers.
Of course it could all just be a misunderstanding. Mr. Regan and his spouse could suffer from Negrophobia, which is fear of all things black. That would mean they couldn’t have a flat screen TV in their house because the screen is black. Take heart, Regans. I am praying for your recovery. In the meantime I would like to leave you with an uplifting inspirational quote from Bill Murray:
“I ain’t afraid of no ghosts.”
