Another Fine Example of the Hypocrisy of the Left

It never ceases to amaze me how many people there are in government that have the attitude that they can do whatever they want and that laws only apply to everyone else. They claim to know better what is good for the “people”, the people meaning “everyone else”, and then they do the exact thing that they wish to deny to the masses. They think they are kings and everyone else are mere subjects.

Here’s a prime example. Illinois (yes, Illinois, arguably the most corrupt state in the union...) state senator, Don Trotter, a democrat running for the vacated U.S. Senate seat recently vacated by Jesse Jackson Jr. (himself under federal investigation), was taken into custody for trying to board an aircraft with a gun.

Now, this guy is a left wing democrat and an advocate of gun control. He voted “no” on a law that would allow other Illinois citizens to carry a concealed weapon. He would deny the right to everyone else, but he feels that he should have the right. He also obviously feels he shouldn’t have to comply with the law that says you have to register your firearm since the gun he got caught with was unregistered. As a leader, shouldn’t he be practicing what he preaches? Shouldn’t he be leading by example? Shouldn’t he be obeying the very laws that he helps enact?

He of course gave the standard statement when he got caught, “I didn’t know it was there.” Uh huh, right. So basically what he’s saying is he’s an irresponsible moron that doesn’t even know where his gun is. I don't know what his excuse was for not registering the gun as the law requires. Maybe he as a lawmaker doesn't know the law?

He stated afterward that this wouldn’t have any effect on his bid for office. He would still continue his efforts to be elected to the U.S. senate. Obviously, he feels that he’s the right kind of guy to be in government. Being a lawbreaker shouldn’t have any effect on one’s ability to hold high government office and make laws, right?

This is the hypocrisy of the left. They want to make rules for everyone else. They want to control the masses through big government and more laws and rules, but they see it as only to control the inferior peasant class. They, as the ruling class, will be exempt. After all, they are more important than everyone else.

It’s troubling to me that this is the type of person that is prevalent in government today. What’s even more troubling though, is that we keep electing them.

Establishment Republicans

Well, here’s a pretty good example of how Ron Paul and his supporters are regarded by the Establishment Republicans and their handlers. They’re treated as the enemy, pushed around, assaulted and insulted.

A guy named Eddie Dillard was holding a Ron Paul sign near a polling place today in Florida when the Newt Gingrich campaign machine pulled up in a bus and decided to occupy the space where Mr. Dillard was standing. They proceeded to muscle their way in front of him trying to block him and his sign, intentionally stomping on his foot, knocked his cell phone out of his hand and kicked his sandal away from him when he was trying to pick it up.

Now this sounds more like behavior you would hear about on a school yard with the class bully picking on the weak kid, not adults in a political campaign. Then again, I guess the Gingrich crew seems to be of that mentality.

I don’t know about you but this story and this kind of behavior by a major candidate for the office of President of the United States is disgusting. It infuriated me that they would treat someone like this simply because he was holding a sign for the candidate he supports.

These two guys, Newt Gingrich and Mitt Romney are just status quo, “Establishment Republicans”. They aren’t going to change anything. If either one gets into office, things aren’t really going to change that much. Oh, we may get some of the catastrophic programs of the Obama disaster repealed, but they aren’t going to do what really needs to be done to save our country from the economic cataclysm that we’re headed for. They’ll still keep growing government and be totally unable to reduce the national debt because they don’t have what it takes to make the hard choices.

It’s most likely going to be Romney, which isn’t going to be much of a change. He’s just “Obama light”, but he seems to be the one that the main stream Republicans have chosen as their guy. Pretty pitiful if you ask me. As horrendous as Obama is, the best the Republican Party can come up with is Mitt and Newt?

People, we are in deep trouble...

Sooner or later, people are going to realize that a lot of what Ron Paul has to say about what we need to do to bring this country back to what it’s supposed to be, is correct. The problem is, they won’t realize it until it’s too late. Our economy and our country will be crashing and burning.

You won’t see much about this story in the news. The media won’t bother covering a major political candidate assaulting someone on the campaign trail because he was a Ron Paul supporter. If he was an Obama supporter and Newt’s bullies treated him that way, that would be plastered all over the front page of every newspaper and the lead story on every left wing media outlet in existence. You can bet on that.

For me, it shows me what this guy is all about. He and his traveling band of thugs. Newt had to resign from congress in disgrace not that long ago. He thinks that people won’t remember that. He thinks that enough time has passed that people will have forgotten. He may be right about that, but he can’t change his nature. He’s still disgraceful.

The TSA Strikes Again

Well, it seems the TSA is up to it’s usual standards. The reports of the goings on in the world of the illustrious airport safety patrol seems to know no bounds. The absurdity just keeps getting worse and worse. TSA agents strip searching little children, groping people’s genitals... What a pleasure it is to fly nowadays, huh?

Now we have reports of them strip searching an 85 year old woman in a wheelchair. Another 88 year old woman claims they strip searched her as well. She was wearing a colostomy bag and they wanted to make sure there were no weapons of mass destruction in there I guess. These cases are tragic. They submit these poor elderly people to humiliation and embarrassment by invading their most intimate privacy and then say they’re just doing their job. Seriously? Is your job as a TSA agent to be an idiot? Well, in that case, you’re doing a wonderful job.

But here’s a case that’s so idiotic it’s laughable. We have a teenage girl that was detained by the TSA because she had the design of an old western six shooter on her purse. Not an actual gun, only an image of a gun.

She was told by the TSA that she was committing a federal offense and she would have to check the purse or surrender it. They detained her so long that she missed her flight and then they stuck her on a plane to Orlando, which probably didn’t make her mother very happy since she was waiting for her at the Jacksonville airport.

If you want to read the story for yourself, here is the link: http://news.yahoo.com/blogs/sideshow/florida-teen-detained-tsa-design-her-purse-221835034.html

Now, is there anyone on the planet who would really think that a design on the outside of a purse could actually be a threat to anyone? I mean in any situation that the human mind can conceive, could the image of a gun ever be a used to threaten anyone or anything? The whole idea is so absurd, it’s inconceivable that anyone with half a brain would even consider it. Then the TSA strikes again...

Would you feel threatened if someone tried to rob you with a picture of a gun? Doesn’t it sound ridiculous to even ask such stupid questions or imagine such scenarios? Of course it does, but not to the TSA. They take their job so seriously that they won’t let even an image of a weapon on board an airplane. Just in case, you know... They will use their formidable power of intimidation to protect us all from the supreme danger of... pictures...

Wow, I feel safer already, don’t you? Doesn’t it just make you want to... drive?

Idiocy Knows No Bounds

Oh, this is just too ridiculous to ignore. Just when I thought the United States government had the market cornered on idiocy, the EU comes out with a monumentally stupid law. They have actually banned producers of bottled water from making the claim that drinking water can help avoid dehydration.

After a three year investigation no less, a group of completely brain dead fools found no evidence to prove such a claim. Now, this begs the question, what idiot or group of idiots decided we needed research into whether water can prevent dehydration in the first place, but somewhere along the line, somebody decided we did. Then this group of rocket scientists took 3 years studying whether water is wet??? Well, DUH...

What planet are these people from? Because, us earthlings pretty much figured out quite some time ago that drinking water is a good way to hydrate the body. That’s why we drink it. I wouldn’t have thought there were any people on the planet that weren’t well aware of that fact, but low and behold, they paraded themselves right out into plain site and declared themselves complete and utter imbeciles for all to see.

In the article, it stated that previous nonsensical laws having to do with bent bananas and curvy cucumbers were scrapped in 2008 because it caused international ridicule. Uh, ya’ think??? Hey fellas, I got a news flash for you, YOU AIN’T SEEN NOTHIN’ YET!!! "International ridicule"? You'll achieve a new level of fame for absurdity. Somewhere on a planet lightyears from here, one alien is nudging his friend saying, “Hey, look at these knuckleheads” while he laughs his alien ass off. I’ve seen stupidity before but you guys take the prize.

I’ve always thought that the whole concept of bottled water is a little dumb and a big part of society is not too bright by paying for something that is widely available virtually free out of any tap, but it took government officials to reach for a new level of idiocy and they have certainly achieved it. Way to go morons.

The Democrats Will NEVER Get It

This morning I read that John Kerry is now blaming the Tea Party for the S&P downgrade of America’s credit rating from AAA to AA+. Senator Kerry, you are an idiot, pure and simple. You don’t have a clue and even with all your considerable wealth, you couldn’t BUY a clue. It’s not about taxes. IT’S ABOUT THE SPENDING!!! HELLO!!!

The Democrats continue to display, for all to see, what they are truly all about. They want to increase your taxes. They want to take more and more of your money. They want to continue to increase the size and scope of the federal government until it controls everyone and everything. They want the federal government to be a major controlling force in our daily lives. They are truly trying to change our form of government from a Republic to Socialism and if they had their way, Communism.

I read an article a while back about the gradual shift of our political parties in this country to the left. It has been a gradual thing over the last 50 years or so but has accelerated substantially over about the last 15. In the article, it said that if John F. Kennedy were running for office today, he would be way too far right to even be considered for the Democratic ticket. He wouldn’t fit in with today’s Democrats. That’s because they have shifted so far left that most of them are clearly Socialists, including our President and they want to impose Socialist ideology and policy on our country.

One of the problems that caused the present mess we are in is that the Republicans also shifted left. They became more centrist and began adopting some of the Democrat’s policies of big government and uncontrolled spending. Under the second term of the Bush administration, they let the deficit spending get out of hand. That started us on the road to ruin that the Democrats, lead by Obama, have accelerated. The Tea Party movement isn’t controlling the Republican party as Sen. Kerry would have you believe through his caustic accusations, they are simply trying to steer them back toward sanity.

The lefties want to demonize the Tea Party. They want to brand them as evil. That’s because, to the extreme left, or Socialist sect of the Democrats, they ARE evil. The Tea Party stands for freedom. They want less government, lower government spending, more government accountability and a prosperous America. They want to stop our march toward Socialism and steer America back toward the being the bastion of freedom that it has always been. They want America to be strong and the “power” to be in the hands of the people and NOT in the hands of the government “power elite”. Everything the Tea Party stands for is evil in the eyes of a Socialist.

The differences of our political parties in this country has never been clearer. The Democrats clearly want more and bigger government and even though they promised that their policies wouldn’t lead to higher taxes, they are now blatantly arguing for just that. They are admitting that they lied to you and now they want big tax increases to pay for their big spending.
They just don’t get it and they never will. Socialism and freedom don’t go together. You can either have a free society or you can have Socialism, but you can’t have both. Yet, they blindly try to tax and spend our way to prosperity. They will never admit that these policies don’t work. If they did, we would be seeing improvement in our economy by now. Instead, we are seeing our country spiral further down into economic oblivion and they continue to blame others for their failed policies. The simple fact is that the present deficit spending and gargantuan national debt is a direct result of the Democrat ideology.

The only way to fix America is to remove the Democrats from power. Their ideology does not fit with a free America. Remember that come election time.

Left Wing Media Displays Their Hatred

Oh, how the left is terrified of the tea party. They absolutely HATE the tea party and anyone who would advocate more freedom in America. They HATE the thought of closer adherence to the Constitution of the United States. They HATE the idea of a smaller, less powerful federal government. These tenets are contrary to their ideas of a bigger federal government with more central control and higher taxes. They see the tea party as a huge roadblock on their march to socialism and eventually communism.

Just listen to them in this video as they display their vehemence and hatred, referring to members of the tea party movement as zombies, addicts, cannibals, vampires, aliens, delusional and psychotic. Their so called “expert” spews his drivel about the tea party, saying that they will turn eventually turn violent.

Just listen to the left wing’s pathetic attempt to discredit and insult the growing number of people in this country that are fed up with our dysfunctional government and that want to save America from the left’s ongoing attempts to destroy it.

Pretty disgusting isn’t it?

They STILL Don't Get It

With all the hoopla over the budget crisis and government shutdowns and no social security checks going out and all the other blather about what’s going to happen if they don’t raise the debt ceiling, the dimwits in congress still don’t get it. They can’t understand the simple fact that they can’t keep spending more than they take in.

Are they all a bunch of IDIOTS? Are they all really that STUPID? I’m really beginning to think so.

They’re in the process of passing a “deal” that will raise the debt ceiling and “cut” spending. They’re touting the fact that they are cutting spending by billions of dollars. NO THEY’RE NOT! What they are REALLY doing is just increasing the deficit less. They are simply saying they won’t spend as much as they originally said. BIG WOW! They should really be proud of themselves, huh? What an amazing accomplishment.

That would be like me saying that even though I’ll only make $50,000 this year, I’m going to spend $200,000. Oh wait, I can’t spend that much??? Oh, well then, I’ll work real hard and find a way to “cut” spending. WOW, SUCCESS!!! I found a way to only spend $150,000!!! I “cut” spending by $50,000. Aren’t you proud of me? What a wonderful person I am. I should be elected to congress!

Never mind that I’m still going in the hole by $100,000. Oh no, don’t even look at that. That’s no big deal. I CUT SPENDING BY $50,000! THAT’S the important part.

This is how the people in Washington think. Now do you understand why I call them stupid idiot morons? They’re a disgrace. Every damn one of them that voted for this pile of crap spending bill.

And what’s the deal with this new “super committee” of 12 lawmakers that is created by this “deal”? Rumor has it that they will be granted unprecedented new powers to fast track legislation. Just what “powers” will they have? Can they enact law without the approval of a majority of congress? Is this a way to circumvent the normal process of our government according to the Constitution of the United States?

WHAT EXACTLY IS GOING ON HERE???

We have been seeing our freedoms in this country slowly, insidiously being taken away for years now. Is this another giant leap forward toward changing our system into some sort of totalitarian mutation of what it once was? Are the “powers that be” slipping through a power grab, taking away the power from the people and giving it to the inner elite of the ruling class?

We, the people of this country, need to wake up and start keeping a very close eye on these clowns, before we end up with no freedom at all.
