Perspective, My Good Man!
In, not surprisingly, The Huffington Post, Richard (RJ) Eskow writes that the Left should brace itself for another round of hysteria from the right.
Because here come those nutty conservatives, all crying about Medicare and Social Security running out of money. Morons! Even Doom-and-Gloom Geithner says there’s plenty of money left, right up until 2050 2045 2036 2033! But that is not Mr. Eskow’s main point; no, he says the real problem is that the Right is ignoring The Big Crises!
Like apparently the War on Women. Or this ridiculous idea that Catholics have any say in their own religious beliefs. Or giving illegal immigrant students easy citizenship. Or gay marriage. Or Mitt Romney’s dog.
Or giving guns to Mexican drug lords. Or giving an inconceivable sum of money to a company everyone knew had neither product nor competitive pricing. Or why a 30-plus-year-old college student can’t get thousands of dollars in free condoms every year. Or ensuring health care costs skyrocket.
Or why Obama administration members owe millions in unpaid taxes. Or why our country is worsening any eventual war between Israel and Iran. Or continued unemployment numbers that exceed any explanation.
Or the recently introduced Democrat-led bill to replace the First Amendment with something more progressive because the Constitution as we know it isn’t working anymore. Hear about this? Totally true. Nancy Pelosi wants to eliminate free speech for anyone except an individual speaking off the cuff. And speaking only: published works of a political nature would be subject to censorship by Congress.
But for Lefties, the only Real Crisis out there is that Conservatives are Crazy.
Don’t forget which way to vote in November.
Божію Поспѣшествующею Милостію Мы, Дима Грозный Императоръ и Самодержецъ Всероссiйскiй, цѣсарь Московскiй. The Czar was born in the steppes of Russia in 1267, and was cheated out of total control of all Russia upon the death of Boris Mikhailovich, who replaced Alexander Yaroslav Nevsky in 1263. However, in 1283, our Czar was passed over due to a clerical error and the rule of all Russia went to his second cousin Daniil (Даниил Александрович), whom Czar still resents. As a half-hearted apology, the Czar was awarded control over Muscovy, inconveniently located 5,000 miles away just outside Chicago. He now spends his time seething about this and writing about other stuff that bothers him.
