Democrats, Aristocrats, Plutocrats, and Deceptocrats?

By William L. Garvin

“Oh what a tangled web we weave, when first we practice to deceive!”

Sir Walter Scott

Pity the impoverished progressive media.  After selling its soul to the Devil, he is here to exact his due.  Bowing to the knee of their liberal education, those in the populist media (ABC, NBC, CBS, most newspapers, MSBC, CNN, etc.) are complicit in the creation of an unearned aura of presidential competence and the destruction of any and all political or populist challengers to their concocted mythology.  Having established their perimeters, they must now sit impotently inside as potential Pulitzers, books, and movie rights fade into oblivion.

If a second-rate burglary and phone tapping such as Watergate could bring down a president, make national icons out of obscure reporters named Woodward and Bernstein, and result in books and movies such as ALL THE PRESIDENT’S MEN, what could be done with “Fast and Furious,”  Benghazi, NSA spying, wiretapping and spying on reporter emails, IRS targeting of political opponents, deliberately lying to the American people regarding Obamacare costs and enrollments, and unconstitutional immigration fiats bring to the profession of journalism and the edification of the American people?  It appears as nothing when you look at the current lot of supposed journalists populating media airwaves.  The fields of investigative journalism are fertile but the workers are few!  Those that do perform are quickly exiled from the prevalent propaganda practitioners…just ask Sharyl Attkisson!

You’ve probably heard the liberal strumpets trumpet that Congress is incredibly unpopular but you won’t hear about the latest Gallup poll showing the Democrat Party has only a 36 percent favorability rating while the Republican Party has now achieved a 42 percent rating.  You probably won’t hear that Independents only rate Democrats at 25% as compared to their 42% rating a year ago.  You probably won’t hear that only 37% of people support Obamacare.  You probably won’t hear that the economy and its current failings is the biggest concern of American voters (50% “most important” and 70% rating it as “only good or fair”) and that “global warming” barely registers on their scale of concern.  This is especially true now that 50% of the United States is covered in record snow and cold!

This was all a matter of fact even before “Grubergate” and “Obamagration.”  Do you even know of MIT professor Jonathan Gruber?  If not, that’s not surprising since Harry Reid, Nancy Pelosi, Barack Obama and major media also don’t seem to remember him even though he visited the White House 19 times, even though he and his company received over $6 million in government payments over the last few years, even though he was praised by all of them for his technical assistance.    Each of them lauded his vast contributions (easily verified on YouTube) to RomneyCare and ObamaCare but now they have a collective case of selective amnesia.  Is it because he proclaimed “a lack of transparency is a huge political advantage” or said “call it the stupidity of the American voter” or called it “clever” to exploit “the lack of understanding of the American voter”?  Remember this—the American voter has ALWAYS been opposed to ObamaCare.  The American people were never allowed to vote.  Harry Reid and his Deceptocrat Senate colleagues passed this through parliamentary chicanery and reconciliation.  Nancy Pelosi and her Deceptocrat House colleagues passed this through the House in the middle of the night without ever reading the large print let alone the fine print.  The common sense American citizen, the great unwashed, the outside the beltway voter, the hard working middle class understood from the beginning that you can’t add 30 million to the roles, keep the supply of doctors and hospitals status quo, and expect the price of health insurance to go down and the availability of health care to go up. 

You probably won’t hear about the NBC poll that shows 37% of legal immigrants oppose Obamagration while only slightly more (43%) support it.  American voters have said they don’t want a socialist transformation of America that allows 6 million lawbreakers to cut in line in front of those who have legally applied for entry.  Yet the president continues to show his contempt of congress and the constitution and the congress continues to show its contempt of its citizens.  Democrats now control the fewest number of seats in congress for nearly 80 years.  If Democrats continue to choose Harry Reid, Nancy Pelosi, and Debbie Wasserman Schultz as their leaders, expect those numbers to continue to decline but don’t expect to hear it on your evening news.

Elephants in the Room

By William L. Garvin
 

In a forceful repudiation of presidential policies to “fundamentally transform America,” American voters stampeded herds of conservative elephants into the halls of congress and state legislatures throughout the land.  Curiously, President Obama seemed oblivious to his political rejection in the clear message from the one-third who voted and divined solace and personal support from the two-thirds who didn’t vote!  When he was reelected by only thirty percent of the eligible voters in 2012, no such divination was evident.  It’s a good thing the Denier-in-Chief is still found to be so “likeable” by the liberal media or he might be regarded as petty, petulant, pompous and predictable.

This election also exposed several liberal mastodons that should immediately be relegated to the elephant burial grounds.  The Democrat party loves to characterize the Republicans, the Tea Party, and conservatives in general as “angry, old, white men.”  That is lib-speak for “racist” and “sexist.”  Yet throughout the country, the race card and the war on women were played and waged not by Republicans but by Democrats.  Democrats delighted in demonizing opponents with images of Trayvon Martin, Ferguson, and lynchings.  Charlie Rangel hinted they still believed in slavery!  Nonetheless, voters elected Tim Scott (Republican) to the Senate, the first black American senator from the South since Reconstruction.  They elected Mia Love (Republican), the first black female American from her party to the House.  In a somewhat embarrassing display of political partisanship, the NAACP not only failed to congratulate these victors but gave Senator Scott an “F” in their ratings.  Hats should be doffed to every black American who runs for office as a conservative.  It takes a great deal of courage knowing the racial invective and opprobrium that will be heaped upon them by the intolerant left.  Ask Allen West, Ben Carson, J.C. Watts, Ward Connerly, Clarence Thomas, Herman Cain, or Condoleezza Rice.

The same is true for the so-called conservative “war on women” which in reality is only waged by the left on conservative women.  Nikki Haley in South Carolina, Mary Fallin in Oklahoma, and Susana Martinez in New Mexico, all Republicans, were emphatically returned to their governorships.  Republican Joni Ernst became the first female senator from Iowa; Republican Shelley Moore Capito became the first female senator from West Virginia; Republican Elise Stefanik from New York at 30 became the youngest member in the House; and 18-year old Republican Saira Blair became the youngest state legislator in the country thanks to her 63-30% election in West Virginia.  Showing their intolerance, twitter world was filled with vitriol such as “dysfunctional,” “weird mutant,” and “psychopathic.”

Also of note were the overwhelming rejections of Wendy Davis and Sandra Fluke.  Davis, aka “Abortion Barbie,” had her pink tennis shoes handed to her on a platter in her run for governor of Texas.  In a gaffe-filled campaign that made Joe Biden look like a statesman, she foolishly mocked her opponent’s confinement to a wheelchair and declared he would outlaw interracial marriages despite his own marriage of over thirty years to a Latina!  True to form, even after her defeat, her supporters kept shouting their extremist views by saying every woman who voted Republican should “fall off the face of the earth” and “kill all the babies”!  In comparison, Fluke’s twenty point loss for the Senate in deep blue California was tame by comparison.  The only irony here is how someone so concerned about getting taxpayers to pay for contraception can come up with a $100,000 loan to her ill-fated campaign.

A final elephant in the room is the lack of effectiveness of the vaunted Democrat get-out-the-vote machine.  Now that President Obama’s policies have been so ineffective and his charm has worn thin, he was not seen as a sparkling asset but as a toxic liability.  Even in safe states where he and his wife campaigned, Democrats still lost because of their support for his policies.  To drum up the base, Democrat candidates turned to Hillary Clinton and the “Big Dog” Bill Clinton.  Hillary’s efforts were as disastrous as her book tour and thirty-two of her candidates lost!  Bill was equally impotent as far as the campaigning went.  The invincibility of the Clinton machine and the inevitability of Hillary’s presidency were sudddenly brought into question.  That’s why the “suicide watch” at MSNBC and other liberal media should remain vigilant!  Now it’s the Democrats who look old, angry, and tired.  They need to fire their writers, get some new material and freshen up their rap ‘cuz this ain’t your grandpa’s GOP!
