OBAMA
It was a tough year for President Legacy. Obamacare
continues to implode; the Russian bear is on the prowl; the national debt
soars; the Iranian mullahs get their billions and their nukes; and the Muslims still don’t like us, to name a few
of his failures. Worse, even Democrats now don’t really like him, if they ever
did. After World War II, it was said
that you could not find a single German who admitted to supporting Hitler. Going
forward, it will likewise be harder to find a Democrat who admits to having
been all in for Obama. They will say: “Well, I had my doubts all along….” (And
no, we are not comparing Obama to Hitler, so relax.) All of Obama’s
legacy-inducing policies were delivered either by changing the rules (e.g.
Obamacare) or by executive fiat (e.g. amnesty). They will continue to fail, to be
challenged in the courts or will be revoked by a Republican president. How’s
that for a legacy? Meanwhile, it is less than a year until Obama gets to
finally buy that Chevy Volt he said he wanted. Question: is he eligible for the
government subsidy?
THE KARDASHIANS
They are like a virulent strain of an STD
that cannot be treated with penicillin, refuses to go away, and, in fact, grows
stronger with each passing day. The Kardashians continue to despoil America of its soul. Mom,
Cruella de Kardash, carefully mentors each new generation in the family
business: taking off their clothes for the public. But even the public will
eventually tire and turn on the Kardashians. Either that or we weep.
ISIS
Stone Age butchers, the legacy of ISIS will be the
destruction of ancient historic civilizations, both the archaeological sites
and the people. In the end, they will likely end up having killed more Muslims
than any other group – European or otherwise – in history.
HILLARY CLINTON
We should want our presidents to want the
job, confident in the belief that they are best suited to lead the country.
With Hillary, such self-assuredness always seems to be more grounded in the
Clintonian sense of what the country owes them. Thus we get Hillary deserves
the presidency because Obama cut the line; because she is a women; because she
is a grandmother; because the Republicans have been so mean to her, and on and
on. Benghazi alone should be enough to disqualify her. The server/e-mail
scandal should be enough to disqualify her. The Russian Reset should be enough
to disqualify her. And yet, there is a 50-50 chance that a woman who close to
two-thirds of the country believes cannot be trusted, may well be the next
president. Which, in turn, means that Bill Clinton is back in the White House too.
America needs to move on.
REPUBLICANS
They increasingly resemble The Gang That
Couldn’t Shoot Straight. What good does winning back control of the legislative
branch of government mean if Obama and Harry Reid continue to outmaneuver you?
One wonders if even winning the presidency would solve their collective
dysfunction.
THE NEW YORK TIMES
The downfall of America’s once great
newspaper is complete. The Times proved in 2015 that there is no fringe issue
or fringe special interest group too small (or bizarre) for their disproportionate
attention and support. The Times supports gay rights including gay marriage,
that’s fine. But by RedStateVT’s calculation (not a scientific poll) the Times
devoted 32.65% of their coverage to gay-themed articles. Some days, gay-themed
articles made up 50% of the ink, or at least it seemed that way. Having
successfully championed a group that comprises less than 1% of the population,
the Times then turned to transgenders, a group that makes up less than .01% of
the U.S. Saturation coverage of transgenders by the Times culminated in a front
page story about a transgender who had sex reassignment surgery paid for by
Medicaid. The Times exulted while the country wept. (Editor’s
Note: transgenders are not the same as transvestites. The latter are guys who
like to dress up in ladies clothes.)
VERMONT GOVERNOR PETER SHUMLIN
Look up “sleazy politician”
in the dictionary and you may very well find a picture of Vermont’s leader.
Shumlin followed in the dubious footsteps of other Democrat politicians with
his own real estate scandal (Clinton in Arkansas, Reid in Nevada, Obama in
Chicago). Like his philosophical mentors, however, it is his politics which are
most offensive. Shumlin’s specialty is in killing jobs in a state already known
for being anti-business. Vermont Democrats want fewer corporate jobs (what with
those good wages and benefits) and more glass-blowing studios. Not too worry,
the state will be saved just as soon as they legalize marijuana and start
collecting dope taxes. Shumlin, who announced he will not seek another term
after coming within a breath of losing in the last election to a Republican
that no one had heard of, will count this as his greatest accomplishment.
