We've all heard the old saying “In the land of the blind, the One-Eyed Man is King". It is tough to give an accurate attribution to this nugget because it seems to be historically ubiquitous. Every ancient culture has some translatable version that could credibly lay claim to its authorship. It really doesn't matter who said it first because it is so enduringly timeless.
Very simply, it means the person in a place of contained great disadvantage or disability who possesses a critical faculty that nobody else does is at the top of the food chain in that group or culture.
Were we to contemplate the Democrat Party of today, it would be one of complete blindness except for their perfect 20/20 tunnel vision focused on their dream of a Marxist America.
Joe Manchin, by rejecting the so-called "Build Back Better" (BBB) program and budget of senescent Joe, has bought America a little bit more time from stepping off of the Marxist cliff into the permanent abyss of the 1984 version of America that Joe's handlers have been scheming about. That is a weakened America, whose citizens will be hounded incessantly to filch the pocketbooks of every citizen with their 87,000 new IRS Agents, complete erasure and re-writing of American History through vast funding for the institution promulgation of “Critical Race Theory". Destruction of our energy independence... all of which are currently well underway with the Democrat Industrial Complex (DIC) in power.
The untold trillions of dollars made available to the DIC through Joe’s BBB budget would serve as rocket fuel to boost their Marxist nightmare through the atmosphere into the sick beyond from which there could likely be no return to The American Way.
Joe Manchin, through his sound rejection of his Party’s Marxist insanity, has shown true leadership, independence, and the Regal Bearing of a King in a land of the blind. But Joe is not blind… It is clear to me that he actually has a figurative third eye and 20/20 vision. The third eye is a representation of mystical intuition and insight—an inner vision and enlightenment beyond what the physical eyes can see.
Hence I pronounce Senator Joe Manchin: “King of the DINOS”, a kingdom of one, "Democrat In Name Only"
Your RINO colleagues across the aisle could learn a thing or two from you.
