In Passing

So why aren’t there more?


Spotted in the Ace Of Spades sidebar:
Ace Sidebar, April 10, 2014: ‘‘Hot Air: Allahpundit: 40-50 House conservatives plotting to oust Boehner as Speaker ‘One new key detail: Cantor’s also on thin ice....’ Cantor is part of the current leadership team. Should he even be in the running? [rdbrewer]’’

In Passing

Why the ‘‘hypocrisy’’ argument fails against leftists...

Know The Enemy  Dept
Because they lie, and they know it:
The left never believed Obama REALLY in his heart was against gay marriage or, for another example, that he was a seriously observant and practicing Christian when he was running for President.  Rather they abided his saying these things for political expediency.  The left (both their candidates and their voters) know there are certain things they must do and say and pretend at if they are going to achieve their two-pronged goal, power and influence.

Democrat voters aren’t... being fooled or tricked.  They are partners in the deception.
Of course, telling lies to get elected isn’t only a sin of the left...

‘‘...Millennials are less interested in freedom - which they take as a given - and more interested in order and purpose.  They’re looking for a cause to believe in.  Their economic futures are already bleak; if this worsens, their desire for a rescuing, guiding leader will become frantic.

‘‘This should sound familiar to everyone and give reason for alarm.’’

‘‘Complaining about a lack of trust is like complaining about how people don’t laugh at your jokes.

You can’t argue your way into being trusted, any more than you can argue your way into people thinking you’re funny.’’
