Expect More Democrat Hail Marys
American Thinker ^ | 30 Aug, 2022 | Christopher Chantrill

It's pretty obvious to me that the Biden Student Loan Handout is a midterm Hail Mary. With a 40 percent approval rating, why wouldn't the president throw some free stuff at the gender studies graduate vote? What has he got to lose?

Notice that I said: "what has he got to lose." I didn't say: what has the average American got to lose by adding $300 billion to $1 trillion to the national debt?

It helps me understand how the Peronistas wrecked Argentina, and the Chávezistas wrecked Venezuela. When your policies have wrecked the economy, why not double down, throw money at your supporters, and call your opponents names?

Let's leave aside the economic debacle of the 1930s where FDR's famous Brain Trust failed to recover the U.S. economy from the Great Depression with their New Deal and FDR blamed it all on "economic royalists."

Let's start with the Sixties, when Democrats passed the Civil Rights Acts (with Republican support) and then the big spending programs of the Great Society. If you were a Democrat in those years you knew that Democrats had cracked the code to justice and prosperity and would rule for a hundred years. But something went wrong.

How could it be that blacks did not shoot into the stratosphere, and that the 1970s would be the decade of stagflation and the end of the big-union industrial economy?

And how come, with the great feminist movement and careers for women and the Pill and no-fault divorce and Roe v. Wade, that women did not live happily ever after?

Just what we need, an easier path to a Gender Studies degree.

There are some in the GOP-elected and new candidates, at the state and federal level, who are fighting. It lacks leadership among its elected officials. Compare how Newt acted in the run up to ‘94 election versus the Turtle and McCarthy today.

I’d also blame the voters who put a demented old fool in the top leadership position in the country/world.

Part of the problem with the article is that the author calls the people who have been destroying the US culture and its institutions “[Demonkkrap] friends”. While he enumerates some of their failures, their common use of scapegoating, and unmentioned the use of lies, slander, libel, violence, high tech censorship, and unequal treatment under the law for its political enemies ...one would think after 100 years of this ... calling these anti-Americans “friends” or “Democratic” is no longer applicable - and maybe part of the problem. We are beyond a difference of political opinions and shared common values.

That was a great comparison of all of The Left’s failures and their attempts to blame others for those programs failings.
Over and over and over again like the same tune, but a different beat.
And it’s still the same old tune.

Biden will be dead within 5 years. He won’t have to live with the consequences of anything he does.

WRONG!

Republicans passed the 'Civil Rights Act' with LITTLE Democrat support.

LBJ was under considerable Pressure, from DEMOCRATS, NOT TO SIGN IT.

Any course or degree that contains the word “studies” is better described as a “Grievance Studies” course or degree ... because that’s really what it is.
