Live like Kings
from The Weekly Standard:
Al Gore owns four homes, one boat, and gorges on kilowatts while urging the world to make small carbon footprints. John Edwards crusades for the destitute while building a palace. John Kerry promotes higher taxes while dodging those on a $7 million yacht he bought in a recession. Michelle Obama urges young people to reject high-paying jobs in the business world for nonprofits and community service, while indulging a taste for designer couture, expensive vacations, and designer sports sneakers, which she wore while feeding the poor.
What’s wrong with these pictures? Two things. First, the hypocrisy undercuts the moral authority, and makes it ridiculous. Second, it’s a mega leap up from what looks from the outside to be not that much more than upper-middle-class comfort—nice house in town, nice country house, nice small sailboats, nice American cars—to the mega-rich level of yachts and multiple mansions, available to only a very small fraction of the upper crust: rock stars, sports stars, film stars, nouveau-riche captains of industry, and others not known for their modesty, balance, and sense of restraint. Live on a level accessible to some of the people you govern, and you send the message that you are a citizen. Live like a king, and you send the message that you think you are one, that you see nothing amiss in appropriating far more than what your politics say is your share of the universe; that you are entitled because you are worth more than others, that this is your due. Someday, Democrats should sit down and ask themselves how they came in such a short space of time to produce so many marquee figures who wanted to talk like French revolutionaries while living like French royalty. Ask Theodore Roosevelt, Franklin Roosevelt, John Kennedy, or the Bushes to spend $7 million on anything, and they would have had heart attacks. Ask them to buy a yacht during a recession, and they would have been aghast.

The Facts
To President Obama and ALL 535 voting members of the Legislature,
It is now official you are all corrupt morons:
A.. The U.S. Postal Service was established in 1775. You have had 234 years to get it right and it is broke.
b.. Social Security was established in 1935. You have had 74 years to get it right and it is broke.
c.. Fannie Mae was established in 1938. You have had 71 years to get it right and it is broke.
d.. War on Poverty started in 1964. You have had 45 years to get it right; $1 trillion of our money is confiscated each year and transferred to "the poor" and they only want more.
e.. Medicare and Medicaid were established in 1965. You have had 44 years to get it right and they are broke.
f.. Freddie Mac was established in 1970. You have had 39 years to get it right and it is broke.
g.. The Department of Energy was created in 1977 to lessen our dependence on foreign oil. It has ballooned to 16,000 employees with a budget of $24 billion a year and we import more oil than ever before. You had 32 years to get it right and it is an abysmal failure.
You have FAILED in every "government service" you have shoved down our throats while overspending our tax dollars.

Oxymorons
This morning, while enjoying my first pot of coffee and waiting for the sun to show itself, I got to thinking about the oxymoron contained in the name of the Democratic Socialists of America (you know, that obscure little anti-American group that counts 82 members of Congress in its membership). So I went to their website.
The following jumped right out at me:
"Democratic Socialists believe that both the economy and society should be run democratically—to meet public needs, not to make profits for a few. To achieve a more just society, many structures of our government and economy must be radically transformed through greater economic and social democracy so that ordinary Americans can participate in the many decisions that affect our lives."
Hmmmmm.
I recall that back when I was a wee bern in grade school one of my dedicated teachers began my indoctrination. Mr. Patton often advised the class that the success of a democracy depended upon, among other things, an educated electorate. As he taught on various topics he relentlessly pounded into our malleable minds the importance of our nation's history -- what made it great and what made it work. His focus has never left me.
Apparently a lot of the DSAs heard the same mantra -- education=success -- and to ensure the success of their agenda they began, long ago, to populate the public education system with educators from their ranks. Ergo, Mr. Patton's formula for the continued success of our nation is, well, history, and it has been replaced with promises of how great things will be for everybody if we radically change the way America does business and redistribute the wealth. That they have succeeded is quite evident and horrifying to those who adhere to the true democratic principles shared by the Founders and Framers and reiterated so often by Mr. Patton.
We recently saw the public benefits of the DSAs statement above when a once poor black woman had the opportunity to spread some of that redistributed wealth around as toured Spain and spent her nights in $2,500 a night hotel suites. Which teaches me that democratic socialism still benefits only "a few" -- only it's a different few than ones they decry on their website.
I thank God that M/M America are increasingly aware of the depredations being visited on our country by the DSAs and taking action to turn this ship around. The results of Tuesday's primaries offer a glimmer of hope for the America we here in the At-Large knew and loved
