"Pay No Attention to the Leftist behind the curtain..."
I was fortunate enough to see Tom Delay's video in person but I enjoyed his op/ed even more.
Apparently this is causing some... ah, controversy... over in the Socialists' camp. Personally that seems to me to be a clear case of "you can't handle the truth..."; but isn't that the case with everything the left has been doing and saying lately? Apparently they follow Hitler's logic that if a lie is repeated often enough it becomes indistinguishable from truth: at least they would like to believe this. For people who actually pay attention in this hyper-fast world, they aren't winning any friends. But let's be honest: is not their core target audience the clueless? And that being the case: what does this say about the intersection between their failed ideology and reality?
What it tells me is that the left wants to keep the people stupid, ignorant, and dependent on Big Brother--because if the people ever wake up to what is being done in their name, the Left's future is doomed. Perhaps this explains their defense of Amnesty (and voting rights...) for Illegal Immigrants--and even of the Left's ridicule of anyone who calls on immigrants to get ahead in America by learning English. Is their fear that an educated immigrant becomes a Republican eventually? Evidently. And it is easy to see why.
Faster, please.
In one controversy after another, Democrat leaders in the last 40 years have shown themselves almost wholly without any compass other than partisanship.Spot on!
Nixon obstructed justice to cover up a scandal, Democrats hounded him from office; Clinton did the same thing, Democrats rallied to his defense.
G. Gordon Liddy tried to steal stuff from the DNC, he's a pariah; Sandy Berger successfully stole stuff from the 9/11 Commission, he's a hero.
Ronald Reagan says he wants to reform welfare, he's a racist; Bill Clinton says he wants to reform welfare, he's a visionary.
Sen. Robert Torricelli quits his reelection race in New Jersey, Democrats demand the party replace him with a better candidate; I quit my reelection race in Texas, Democrats demand that Republicans not be given the same opportunity.
Clarence Thomas is incredibly accused of sexual harassment, Democrats fly into a rage; Bill Clinton is credibly accused of sexual assault, Democrats play deaf.
Bill Clinton says Saddam Hussein needs to go, Democrats rattle their sabers; George W. Bush actually does something about it, Democrats howl.
