Ah, but you forget the mindset of the left.
“ELITIST authoritarian collectivists”
The “elitist” part exempts the “leadership” from the rules they’d impose on others. The reasoning is that complying with those rules would impede their achievement of their lofty goals.
But it just galls me when liberals fail to take their own to the woodshed.
I mean...if President Bush had smoked, david letterman, jay leno, SNL, all the opinion journalists and liberal analysts would have been SCREAMING THROUGH THE ROOF about his filthy, unsafe, damaging to those around him smoking habit. They would have been raising the rafters demanding that President Bush should set a good example for the youth in this nation, etc. You KNOW they would have.
And if President Bush had taken Laura on a date to NY and used the American tax dollar for such a stupid plan THEY WOULD HAVE BEEN LIVID!!! Demanding to know the full cost laid upon the taxpayer.
And if President Bush had complained about HOW HARD the work is being President...the liberal press would have sneered at him and made a BIG DEAL about his whines and complaints and self-pity.
It goes on and on....and it is so sick and deeply obvious that the press ignores the creepy and dirty stuff that is uhbama's baggage.
