The Big Lie
Posted by fivedollargold 13 years, 1 month ago to Politics
Okay, one BIG lie. This one is the propaganda purported by the Left that the GOP has been hijacked by right-wing zealots. Really? Let's examine the record. Bush 41: moderate who appointed a flaming lib Supreme Court judge. Bush 43: Claimed to be a conservative, but expanded entitlements without a way to pay for it (Medicaid drug plan), sang Kumbaya with Ted Kennedy to pass a dreadful education bill (No Child Left Behind Act), and rarely vetoed a spending bill. McCain: God knows what political philosophy this guy has. Mainly, he just seems to like to piss people off, whether is his own party or not. And Romney: Romneycare, need we say more? If these are accomplishments of wing nuts (as John Avlon likes to call them), I'd say they have failed miserably. SO, Dear Reader, what do you think?
They also have the university elites telling everyone that socialism is the best way, and creating a whole new generation of useless idiots that believe we should all make the same money and live in communal housing like the Chinese do.
Get involved, speak out, or just accept the fact that our grandchildren will live in a communist/socialist nation.
They've been labeling moderate Republicans "right wing extremists" for, it seems like, the past decade.
I think the strategy is to get the moderates afraid of being viewed as "extreme" for holding their moderate views.
It pushes them left of center instead of right of center, out of fear for how the public perceives them.
It's a way to keep conservatism from growing by attacking the flexible, mushy middle, rather than the inflexible hardline right.
Then, after labeling moderates as "right wing extremists" for so long, a surprising thing happens: the Tea Party viewpoint gathers strong support.
Now what adjectives do they use to describe this group?
Oh mama, I can hear your crying you're so scared and all alone....(YEAH!!!)" Good times...
