On more than one occasion, I have asked myself how it is that in a country where twice as many people call themselves conservatives, liberals are able to control the media, the schools, the courts and are able to put a radical leftist like Barack Obama in the White House. I have come up with two possibilities. The first is that most of the 38% who identified themselves as moderates and independents in a recent poll are big fat liars; in fact, they are actually left-wingers, but dislike being pigeonholed even if they wouldnt be caught dead voting for a Republican.
The other possibility is that those on the left have made one of those sinister deals with Satan, in which they swap their eternal souls for power and influence. Of course theres always the possibility that its not a case of either/or, but a combination of both. Another reason that liberals have so much power is that people on the right live more balanced lives that include work, family, hobbies, charity and religion, whereas for those on the left, their political agenda trumps everything else in life.
In the recent past, we have had two glaring examples of judicial ineptitude. I have to assume that both judges are left-wingers. In the better-known case, an Oklahoma judge, Thomas Bartheld, gave a serial child predator, David Earls, a 12-month sentence after he pleaded guilty to raping a four-year-old girl. Thanks to Bill OReillys efforts, it appears that the folks in Oklahoma are making sure that Judge Bartheld doesnt spend another 12 months on the bench.
In the meantime, in a case involving three young people who beat and kicked a Seattle policeman so severely as to cause brain damage, Judge Chris Washington determined that the proper punishment for the 17 and 18-year-olds was 30 days in juvenile lockup for the two males and 75 hours of community service for the female thug.
One cant help wondering how it is that people born to be social workers ever wind up wearing black robes. While its still only a rumor, Ive heard that Bartheld and Washington are on Barack Obamas short list for the next opening on the Supreme Court.
To prove that Im not a total partisan when it comes to politicians, Id like to take this opportunity to take Republican Senator John Ensign and Governor Mark Sanford out behind the woodshed for a good paddling. In case you havent heard, Ensign and Sanford are the latest politicians to be caught with their pants down. The fact that adultery seems to be as commonplace in politics as it is in show business shouldnt shock me, but it does. The reason why I find it so surprising is because when actors, singers and TV personalities get found out, it costs them a great deal of money, as Mel Gibson recently discovered, but it doesnt hurt their career. However, when the sexual escapades of politicians are uncovered, as Wilbur Mills, Gary Hart, Bill Clinton, John Edwards, Gary Condit, Eliot Spitzer and now Ensign and Sanford, come to find out, its hasta la vista, baby time.
Im not suggesting its right that their careers should end up in the junkyard, even though I tend to regard politicians as second-rate human beings, who, so far as I can see, are as interchangeable as geese. Still, I generally feel that the appropriate punishment is doled out by the wife and her divorce attorney. While I am morally opposed to adultery, my general attitude is one of relief. Its nice to know that for once, these creeps are screwing someone besides the American taxpayer.
Still, isnt it curious that politicians, knowing that roughly 50% of the people would like to see them crash and burn simply because of their party affiliation, would place themselves in such jeopardy? But then, Im also amazed time and again when people like Bernie Cornfeld, Robert Vesco and Bernard Madoff, manage to gyp so many people out of so much money. Am I really the only person in America who actually believes that if a deal sounds too good to be true, the proper response is to grab your wallet and run for your life?
In conclusion, Id like to quote from an e-mail I recently received from a reader named J. Pyle. In response to a piece I had written ridiculing the state of higher education, he wrote: I remember when Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender Studies meant trying to figure out whats wrong with those people. In fact, if your child is majoring in something that ends in Studies, you better not turn their bedroom into a den, because that one is coming home after college.
To which I would only add, thats assuming you still own your home after taking out a second mortgage so your kid can waste four years studying how to be black, Hispanic, bisexual or lesbian.
I had a discussion with a lib last week, claimed he leaned libertarian but his answer to ALL problems was more rules and regulations by government, go figure..............
It all depends what is is............
That's why I always suggest that parents downsize to a one bedroom condo when the last kid leaves!
It’s Eve’s fault.
It’s the same when a liberals deny that they are democrats, and claim they are Independent. Yet they only criticize conservatives. Bill O’Reilly is a true Independent. He goes after both sides
"The other possibility is that those on the left have made one of those sinister deals with Satan, in which they swap their eternal souls for power and influence."
That might be closer to the truth. Is it really a mystery how glad-handing liberals, atheists, secular humanists, and weirdo leftists managed to get in control of those institutions? "Nudge, nudge, wink, wink, say no more!" I could tell you how they managed to take over a Catholic university...
These are the jokes, folks.
BP, put down that copy of “Conservative Snipes For All Occasions.” These chestnuts are unworthy of your byline. Get a fresh young ghost writer for those days when the muse has stood you up.
