Ocasio-Cortez doesn’t believe it’s important to be FACTUALLY correct on issues
The National Sentinel ^ | 1/7/19 | Jon Dougherty

For a congresswoman, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is turning out to be a pretty good dancer. And a pretty good Democratic Socialist.

While she and many in her party have lashed out at POTUS Donald Trump for alleged untruths and fudging of facts, Ocasio-Cortez admitted during a “60 Minutes” interview on Sunday with Anderson Cooper that it’s much more important to be “morally right” than factually correct.

“One of the criticisms of you is that your math is fuzzy,” Cooper said in regards to factual errors she has made in previous claims, something she dismissed as “missing the forest for the trees.”

I think she’s awesome. Let the stupid rain down. She’s a walking, talking campaign ad for conservatives. She’s better than the ‘Daisy’ ad.

I’ve never seen a pole-dancer but I imagine that’s what the act must look like to a degree.

I have seen lots of pole dancers. Pole Dancer is much better.

Well, she already has a little RAT face and a RAT voice, so it won’t take much for her to be fully corrupt.

Being the moral center of the universe is the first step to gulags and ovens.

How can someone who stole others’ tips lecture everybody else on morals?

‘’In a time of universal deceit telling the truth is a revolutionary act’’. With respect to Orwell. But I know what you mean. It is amazing. And... frightening. I’m 62. I was raised to tell the truth, be responsible for your actions, that actions and choices had consequences, and good or bad you had to either take the credit or the blame. And more importantly, not to blame something or some one else for the choices you made. To be on time, to be honest as an employee or a boss and do the best job possible. Virtually all of this no longer matters. In fact, these attributes are mocked. When such values decline, your society declines with them.

“I feel sorry for the people in her district’’. I don’t. They elected her thinking they’d never have to work again because Big Daddy Government and Miss Bug Eyes was going to give them everything for free. Christ sake, what a fever swamp her district must be.

Unless you lie to them. Then they explode. Therein lies the basic hypocrisy of the Left.

Larry, a handsome man, walked into a sports bar around 9:58 pm. He sat down next to Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez at the bar and stared up at the TV as the 10:00 news came on.

The news crew was covering a story of a man on a ledge of a large building preparing to jump.

Alexandria looked at Larry and said, "Do you think he'll jump?"

Larry says, "You know what, I bet he will." Alexandria replied, "Well, I bet he won't." Larry placed $30 on the bar and said, "You're on!"

Just as she placed her money on the bar, the guy did a swan dive off of the building, falling to his death. She was very upset and handed her $30 to Larry, saying, "Fair's fair... Here's your money."

Larry and replied, "I can't take your money, I saw this earlier on the 5 o'clock news and knew he would jump."

Alexandria replies, "I did too; but I didn't think he'd do it again."

Larry took the money. Alexandria went back to work at the US Congress.

I started my I/T career in financial situations. Cold hard truth, facts, preparations and absolutely no room for nonsense when it comes to systems.

I clown around with “Seinfeld” and conspiracies (some, LOL) but when it comes to actually running society, cold hard truth must prevail. Or we’re all doomed.

Even the idiots who are dooming themselves, are doomed by their own stupidity.

Need Nully’s doom cartoon graphic here.

“...it’s much more important to be “morally right” than factually correct.”

Whose morals does she refer to — Abortionists’? Queers’? Druggies’? Feminists’? Socialists’? Pedophiles’? Muzzies’?

This is what A19 has brought upon us. God help us.

NY-14 is a district where anyone with a D after their name will win. She got her seat because the incumbent took a poll for the primaries, saw that he was 40 points ahead and then didn’t bother to primary campaign ... it’s true that the Democrats are not an organized political movement.

She is beginning her training as a professional LYING DEMOCRAT. Won’t take much time....

She hasn't lied once. She's the most HONEST Democrat I've seen! Even here, she freely speaks what everyone else in her party truly believes but isn't stupid enough to actually say out loud.
