When Republicans Win, Politics Are 'Dysfunctional'
Townhall.com ^ | November 11, 2014 | Dennis Prager

Posted on 11/11/2014 3:15:32 PM PST by right-wing agnostic

Since the Bolsheviks inaugurated the first edition of their party newspaper Pravda (the Russian word for truth), the left has shaped truth to serve its goals. On an individual level, there are plenty of progressives who are honest and plenty of conservatives who aren't. But truth is just not a left-wing value -- feminism, environmentalism, material equality, and fighting racism, sexism, homophobia and Islamophobia are far more important.

The myriad falsehood-based hysterias unleashed by the left in our country -- the alleged heterosexual AIDS epidemic in America, the number of homeless people, the number of deaths from anorexia, the current charges of a "war on women" in our society and of a "culture of rape" on American college campuses, the immediate assertion that the killing of a black teenager in Ferguson, Missouri was caused by racist police -- testify to the left's cavalier attitude toward truth.

The latest shaping of truth is almost funny because the left's claims are so transparently self-serving. Since last Tuesday's elections, commentator after commentator on the left has declared American politics "dysfunctional." When Democrats win by a landslide, the left regards the vote as testimony to the great message of the left and the good sense of the American people. Only when Republicans win by a landslide does the vote reflect dysfunction.

It was dysfunctional before the election and it’ll remain dysfunctional.

Republican President - dissenters are noble and good. Democrat President - dissenters are evil racists and obstructionists.

LoL. When speaking of the last time the representation is as such, I guess I just think it would be helpful to emphasize or elaborate on why the rats were so weak in 1860, and why they fought the Civil War right after. I like to tie the rats back to their racist roots.

Gosh, it’s almost as if the media were just a bunch of partisan shills.
