Source: Democrats Seek to be First to Field Transgendered Candidate

Today we will let Liberal idiocy speak for itself....

Charles Blow, a black, left-wing New York Times columnist, took to Twitter and the pages of the Times to excoriate Yale and a campus police officer over his son being detained at gunpoint. Apparently, Blow’s son met the description of a campus burglar. After learning of the incident, an incensed Blow published a series of racially-charged Tweets followed by a racially-charged Times column.....As it turns out, the officer is black. Yale’s police chief is also black. (Breitbart.com, 1/28/2015)

Liberals sooner or later must raise taxes on the middle class because taxing the rich alone can’t possibly finance all of the Democratic Party’s entitlement schemes. The middle class is where the real money is. So while taxing 529s may die for now, it’s only a matter of time before liberals are back with a carbon tax or value-added tax or something. That’s the real meaning of “middle-class economics.” (Wall Street Journal, 1/28/2015)

 Have you ever been stuck in heavy snow and thought to yourself, “If only Al Sharpton had more power at the federal level!” No sane person ever has, but during an interview about the “snowmageddon” that wasn’t, Bridgeport, Conn. Mayor Bill Finch thanked Sharpton for his fight against global warming, and said he’s needed in Washington.  (Doug Powers, Michellemalkin.com, 1/28/2015)

The Death Sighs of a Thousands Flowers

Faithful
Mr. Romney’s faith was complicated by the fact that during his 2012 run, his team was reluctant to let him mention his religion at all, creating a vacuum that hid a side of him from voters and allowed it to be filled with Democratic attack ads. (New York Times, 1/26/2015)

So the Times admits that Democrats smeared Romney's Mormonism.  Too bad they waited so long to mention it. This is the same New York Times that cannot mention the first President Bush, even in passing, without talking about the Willie Horton ad...which his campaign had nothing to do with. 


Lively
Avowed pork-busting freshman U.S. Senator from Iowa Joni Ernst (R-IA) wants to keep alive the enthusiasm that won Republicans a majority in the United States Senate as we move into the 2016 Presidential election. (Breitbart.com, 1/26/2015)

Joni Ernst is the first female combat veteran elected to the Senate. If she were a Democrat she would be receiving non-stop glowing coverage in the Legitimate Media. As a Republican, she is already a target of the Democrat party's ongoing War on (Republican) Women. 


Anger Management
“There’s a lot of anger in this country, and the people who go see this movie are people who are very angry,” Dean said. “And this guy basically says ‘I’m going to fight on your side.’ … I bet you if you looked at a cross-section of the Tea Party and the people who go to see this movie, there’s a lot of intersection.” (Washington Post, 1/26/2015)

Jimmy Carter has been proclaimed by RedStateVT as the worst ex-president in history. Let us now state that Vermont's former governor, Howard Dean, is the worst ex-governor in history.

American Sniper is driving Liberals absolutely crazy. There is nothing that upsets them more than a hit movie about a patriotic American hero. 


Hopeful
Dances with Identity Theft has said she’s not going to run for the Democrat nomination next year, but I kind of hope she does if only for the ensuing collectivist battle royal between Warren, Hillary Clinton and Joe Biden as they have furious arguments over which candidate least built his or her own campaign. (Doug Powers, Michellemalkin.com, 1/25/2015)

Doug Powers echoes RedStateVT's wish for an all-out Liberal mudfest. And "Dances with Identity Theft" is simply a killer line....

Designs on a Moving Violation

Funny Headline!
New York Times sells Boston Globe at 93 percent loss, returns to advising America how economy should be run (Doug Powers, MichelleMalkin.com, 8/3/2013)


Signal Fire
In a speech on Tuesday, President Obama signaled that Washington may finally be returning to the place where the financial crisis started. With the housing market on the mend, Mr. Obama said it was time to “wind down” Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. (NYT, 8/6/2013)

Which, of course, reminds us to, in turn, remind readers once again of the role of Democrats in the housing market collapse and the financial crisis. Famously it was Barney Frank who browbeat Fannie/Freddie officials to "roll the dice" on increasing sub-prime lending. His words and the YouTube video are out there for EVERYONE to see. Liberals thought it would be just a wonderful thing for humanity if everyone owned their home, whether or not they could really afford it. 


Confrontation
The challenge that confronts us is how we will live with that threat. We have created an economy of fear, an industry of fear, a national psychology of fear. Al Qaeda could never have achieved that on its own. We have inflicted it on ourselves.

Over the coming years many more Americans will die in car crashes, of gunshot wounds inflicted by family members and by falling off ladders than from any attack by al Qaeda.

There is always the nightmare of terrorists acquiring and using a weapon of mass destruction. But nothing would give our terrorist enemies greater satisfaction than that we focus obsessively on that remote possibility, and restrict our lives and liberties accordingly. (Ted Koppel, WSJ, 8/6/2013)

In a bizarre and almost incomprehensible Op-ed, Liberal journalist Koppel gives us this screed. It is is close to the Obama worldview which holds that we should just basically ignore the threat of Islamofacism. Yeah, that is a smart idea.


Tip Top
The U.S. economy has not stagnated over the past four decades, but so much of its wealth has been claimed by the very top that most Americans have experienced it as a zero-sum game in which they’ve lost ground. As tax rules favored the wealthy, as employees lost the power to bargain for their wages, as globalization reduced the incomes of millions of workers, the rich grew richer at everyone else’s expense. That’s the reality that today’s air travel illustrates, as the comfortable standard seat that once was the norm goes the way of the dwindling middle class. (Harold Meyerson, Washington Post, 8/6/2013)

But wealth is NOT a zero sum game! Do Liberals think that Steve Jobs got wealthy because he took wealth from others? It's preposterous, but - as a wealthy Vermonter once told us - Liberals believe that if you are wealthy, then you must have cheated someone. By the way, Meyerson's beef is that airlines offer first class seats. You cannot make this stuff up!
