The Berlin Wall, 1962

I AM SO excited about Donald Trump’s idea for a wall along the American border with Mexico! What a fantastic idea! It’s about time America had a big, ugly wall along its border. To keep people out. And to keep people in.

Since our government is more faithful to the Communist Manifesto than the U.S. Constitution, it’s time we started to look more like a Communist country.

I am planning to go to one of those cool rock-climbing walls in gyms and practice my climbing techniques soon. With a bullet-proof vest, a helmet, some decent rock-climbing shoes, I may be able to avoid being killed by a female border soldier when fleeing this country someday. It may occasionally make me sad and it may make me resentful to be put in this situation where I have to learn to scale walls, but no one forced me to speak my mind. I am grateful to live in a country where one is free to make such choices.

All the really great countries have walls. And barbed wire. Think of Israel, where people get shot for throwing rocks. Think of East Germany. Now there was a nice wall.

You’ve got to give Trump credit. He’s courageous. He’s bold. He’s imaginative. When he says he’ll get something done, he’ll do it for sure. With fearless patriots behind him, he will make Amerika great again!

Here is a nice pair of rock climbing shoes from REI.  Fashionable too!

Nice suggestion. But I need something black. I will be going over at night, or just before dawn, and I don’t want the female guards with their German shepherds to see me, or my bright green shoes, as I dash between the searchlights and then scale the wall with a few deft moves, breathless, a wire cutter in my hand, and all my life’s possessions in a small backpack.

I wondered if anyone was going to mention the wall. The bankers, who always finance both sides in any conflict, have spent millions of dollars on such walls. If he is elected, Trump might get his wall. The bankers seem to love walls. Will all the money they “make” out of thin air, there is no reason for this to be an ugly wall. It needs to be a nice-looking one, with some stylish class. What about a white picket-fence style or lattice design, or maybe something that will not spoil the view? Having family roots in Texas, I know Texans like looking across at vast expanses of land with no blockages.

In a visit with Donald Trump, you can hear the city manager and mayor of the U.S. border city of Laredo, Texas, answer a press question about building a wall:

“We don’t think that’s necessary at this time. I think there’s other ways we can work together with the federal government. I think right now, we have a process where we work with the border patrol and…all the law-enforcement agencies to get some of these things done…”

Trump is standing next to the city manager nodding agreement.

A white picket fence would be lovely.

As the Spartans said: “A city cannot have better walls than its own men.” Too bad the men in America are mostly gone or in hiding.
