I think I speak for many of us when I say that Evan Sayet and Eric Golub, two nice and very clever Jewish boys from my old home town of NY, articulated some of our own thoughts and brought us additional perspectives, in a simultaneously lighthearted and profound way. They were as much philosophers as comedians. They each did fine jobs, in their own styles, in covering the political situation, what’s wrong with the country and particularly, the government. But, they also highlighted what is right, admirable and what courses of action we should take, managing to keep us laughing through most of it. As usual, Eric put on his green eyeshade and peddled his books near the exit on the way out, solemnly advising us to buy the hard cover version, “because they’re much more expensive.” Evan later asked me to watch his Heritage Foundation YouTube videos and email him my opinion on them, which I urge others to do, too.
I was surprised to see that we had a third featured guy, Jason Love, a long time local writer, also branching out into live comedy. I read Jason years ago in the local Acorn newspaper (no connection to the Left-wing leeches of the same name). He came to my attention when he was assigned to write the “police blotter” column, usually a dreary recitation of local crimes and statistics. Well, Jason took a completely different and hilarious approach in reporting the misdeeds of the community, but was soon halted by the outrage of some lacking a sense of humor and assigned to more traditional writing assignments, which he also brought much needed levity to. As they say, the rest is history. While he hasn’t yet achieved the high-wattage performances of tonight’s headliners, he has potential.
We need to do more than carry signs and make phone calls about disastrous house bills, Now it is time to get better people in the government instead of doing damage control on the idiots already there. We need to influence priorities, platforms and candidates. I must say I was shocked when I went to a recent Republican party meeting and heard a lot of talk about the same old, same old party line. It will either change, or I will campaign and vote third, even fourth, or “nth” parties. No more RINO’s. No more voting GOP just to stop the Liberals and Marxists. Eventually the GOP will get the message– or else.
