He’s running for Congress…..wait no he’s not…..oh yeah he is! When will we ever be rid of this Cox?!

We are so sorry to have to break this to you, but Dan Cox is actually running for Congress. We say “actually” because if you remember back to July he reported his own “false filing” that was done by an employee of his.

We are still super confused about this because apparently he told this guy to file for him and then he took it back and now he’s taking it back again.

An alert reader sent us this bizarre video he posted on his Facebook page announcing his run, take a lookie:

https://www.facebook.com/delegatedancox/videos/970172620748006/

The most amusing part of this low rent announcement is the dog trotting back and forth and the sounds of a cat growling in the background. Seems like the Cox pets even know this run is bullshit.

If you can’t stomach the video we can paraphrase:

We need to close the border because all the criminals crossing over and killing everyone in District 6 with the Fentanyl. We are the only ones with “reason” and “kindness” and we need to be the ones with “valor” and must have “faith over fear”. So go to his website, except don’t go to www.coxforcongress.com ,because it’s so much better.

Let’s remind y’all what kind of “reason” and “kindness” Dan practices in case we have some memory lapses.

First of all Dan Cox is a product (and a former teacher) of Wellspring (formerly Walkersville) Christian School that his father started in the 1980s. You can read the whole Washington Post article here, but we are going to focus on a couple of passages:

In a videotaped lecture posted online for a course entitled “Biblical Foundations for Family Life,” Gary Cox tells students that “the protection of the wife from satanic destruction is by being tucked under the headship of her husband as God ordained it.” Referring to Paul’s letter to the Ephesians, he adds: “There’s a picture here of someone ruling and someone being ruled … a picture of voluntary submission. It’s important that the wife, again, desire to be under submission. It’s pretty much impossible to rule over somebody that doesn’t want to be ruled.

Read that a couple of times if you need to. Dan was brought up to believe that women must submit to their husbands. S-U-B-M-I-T! How’s that reasoning for you ladies?! Shall we have a guessing game as to what kind of laws Dan would vote for that we would have to submit to?

Let’s continue on our journey:

Cox’s connection to the world of religious home schooling remains as much personal as political. Among the private security guards — wearing bulletproof vests and holstered pistols — who turned journalists away from a recent rally at a farm in Carroll Countywas a graduate of Walkersville Christian Family Schools.

It was Josiah, the candidate’s son, who at his 2015 graduation ceremony had listened with his classmates as Dan Cox urged them to take seriously the words from Romans 14:8: “Whether we live or whether we die, we are the Lord’s.”

Whew! Whether we live or whether we die, we are the Lord’s. That’s just downright chilling.

If this isn’t enough, don’t forget about his copy and pasted law suits during Covid, his absolute trouncing during the last gubernatorial election, and the fact that though he and his children have never seen the inside of a public school as a student, he thinks that he not only knows that goes on there, but he should legislate about it.

We’ll leave you with a gallery of dumb dumbs from his Facebook page for you ponder:

And the piece d’ restitance:

Lock all those filthy teachers up! Hopefully there will be a strong enough Republican candidate to knock him out of the primary come May, but we aren’t holding our breath.

If you’ve got some extra time, go ahead and look at our past posts about him:

Delegate Dan says war pensions make vets lazy, wants to spare the rest of the population from the same fate!

We’ve had to do a lot of writing both here and on our social media about those amongst us who think they know better than epidemiologists and virologists because of the very serious Dunning-Kruger effect that too many people in this country seem to suffer from.

And it’s actually dangerous to the rest of us!


The biggest D-K sufferer in our fine county is one Delegate Dan who decided to file a copy and pasted lawsuit in federal court against the State of Maryland for the very high crime of attempting to protect public health in the face of a poorly understood and dangerous novel Coronavirus. You can search on back through our last couple of posts to read more on all he’s done around here lately. This post will focus more on his fitness to lead any kind of movement at all.

Evidence:


You may need to read through that a few times, it’s a lot to take in!

Comparing Covid-19 and the American Civil War is really something to behold isn’t it? It would make more sense to compare what we are going through to the Flu of 1918, but then he would have to acknowledge social distancing and the closure of schools and businesses saved lives and that wouldn’t fit his narrative. Instead he chooses to link to a singular research paper in order to present a very poor argument that tries to equate the Civil War soldier pensions with the Coronavirus stimulus checks. Here he’s following some Senate Republicans in thinking that all this government money is going to make y’all no good freeloaders . Just like the war pensions made the Union soldiers lazy good for nothings! Too bad the paper he refers to doesn’t even come to the conclusion that he says it does in his great example of false equivalency.

Lots and lots of other factors at work during the post-Civil War Industrialization period in American History! The paper also concludes that war pensions allowed Civil War veterans the time to find higher paying work. Guess Dan would rather the men who served their country toil away in low paying jobs for all eternity.

Let’s move onto his irony statement since 1. He has 0.0 evidence that the Southern and Western states are leading any kind of economic recovery 2. That’s not what irony means. His pandering to politics comment is super rich considering that is exactly what he is doing! Now that’s some irony for ya! We aren’t even going to discuss the conspiracy theories he espouces regarding Trump’s re-election prospects because there’s only so much we Yokel gals can take on in a day.

Couple the Dunning Kruger effect with John Oliver’s assessment that America is the most defiant nation on the planet and we are left with a lot of questions as to how we will survive this pandemic. There’s a lot being written about how our culture makes it really hard to institute these necessary restrictions, and that really is sad. Look, none of us like being out of work, away from our friends and family, the economic uncertainty, or the fear of getting sick or actually dying from Covid-19. Despite Dan’s, previous assertion that this virus only affects a certain portion of the population (which is turning out to change daily) no one really knows how this disease will affect them, and that’s what makes it so dangerous. So instead of advocating for the arrest of Bill Gates:

Perhaps we should should start a new hashtag: #ArrestDanCox. For his actions are far more dangerous than anything Bill Gates has done.
