Conservative Hypocrisy

Taylor MI

Description

Meet Dale Paul Melvin, staunch Trump supporter, and flaming conservative hypocrite. On Monday Mr. Melvin, who lives in the Port Huron area, was approached by Capitol Police in front of the US Supreme Court for a simple parking violation. No parking means NO PARKING. But Melvin, being a staunch anti-government, big-time Trump supporter wasn't having any of that. When the officer asked Mr. Melvin to move his vehicle he said nothing. When the officer asked him his name he refused to reply. When the officer asked Dale Paul if he would like to talk, Mr. Melvin replied, "The time for talking is through." Considering what occurred on January 6th, you can imagine that all the bells and alarms went off throughout the Capitol Police community. Seems that Mr. Melvin is another hypocritical conservative with an axe to grind. 'America is screwing me and I am angry as hell!' type that has fueled the rise of Trump and toxic Trumpism. The truth about Mr. Melvin is similar to many in the "I feel left behind, middle-age white man angst" that powered Trump into the White House. Dale Melvin sued the Social Security Administration in 2018 in Michigan federal court after he was denied benefits, according to court records. Melvin had applied for supplemental security income and disability insurance benefits and was denied by the SSA. According to court documents, Melvin argued that officials failed to consider his “subjective complaints of pain,” but the Social Security Administration argued that a doctor prescribed medications to treat his back pain in 2018 and Melvin had made statements that his “symptoms were controlled” after that occurred. According to court documents, a physician found in 2018 that Melvin had “full strength in all extremities and no tenderness of either the cervical or lumbar spine.” A federal judge upheld the Social Security Administration’s ruling to deny the benefits and additional income to Melvin in February 2020, records show. Melvin, “completed high school and received a certification for heating and cooling work,” according to court documents. “He worked previously as a maintenance worker at a car wash, material handler, and tire changer. He alleges disability due to back, neck, and breathing problems and coronary disease,” the court documents state. Seems to me that Mr. Melvin is typical of the Trump base: pissed that they didn't study English, mathematics, algebra, quantitative reasoning, microbiology, fluid dynamics, C++, French, advanced political theory, or the 1000's of other subjects that would have made them a success in an advancing, technological society. Stop crying Trumpsters...open a book. Aren't conservatives exasperating?
