A problem like Pelosi, &c.
National Review ^ | 7/29/2011 | Jay Nordlinger

Posted on 07/29/2011 7:19:51 AM PDT by Servant of the Cross

I realize I’m a partisan, and getting worse, I’m afraid. I’ve long wanted to be a nice, above-the-fray neutralist. But life has not allowed that.

Anyway, I’m going to make a point about the Democratic party. Nancy Pelosi said the following about Republicans: “They don’t just want to make cuts. They want to destroy. They want to destroy food safety, clean air, clean water, the Department of Education. They want to destroy your rights.”

I want to ask you: How do you do business with someone like that? How do you do business with a party like that? “They want to destroy”? (I’ll grant that we think the Department of Education a total boondoggle.) “They want to destroy your rights”?

I’m reminded of why I revolted against the Democratic party long ago: They all talked like this. They all regarded their opponents as monstrous or subhuman. And I knew it was bunk.

One more thing: Nancy Pelosi is not some street-corner lunatic. She’s not yet another columnist, or “commenter,” at the Huffington Post. She is the leader of the Democratic party in the House! If that’s not representative — what is?

They want to destroy. They want to destroy food safety, clean air, clean water, the Department of Education [congrats; you did get one right SanFranNan]. They want to destroy your rights.”

Nancy. Nancy. Nancy. Why so serious?

We talkin’ about Nancy Whore-O-si, who screwed her way into money and the house?

The Nancy who’d flunk any class involving something other than underwater basket weaving?

That Nancy?

Shove it up your smelly Obama, Nancy, and say hello to your president’s head while you’re there.

Sooner or later people like pelosi, reid, 0bama, etc. will make states question whether they want to continue to be united with states reflecting these views.

Take Back AMERICA!
FUBO GTFO 2012 !

Thanks for adding the makeup. I can’t stand to look at her the way she usually goes out in public.

It shouldn’t surprise me, but it never ceases to amaze me how Pelosi can say almost anything without challenge.

If Pelosi said that Republicans wanted to eat babies for breakfast, and puppies and kittens for lunch, Pravda would report it as fact.

How is her rhetoric any different from that of the Palestinians who claim Jews use blood to make bread?

Waiting for Chris Mathews to condemn these remarks like he did Sarah Palin’s crosshairs...

The same way the Israelis deal with Hamas and Hezbollah.

Given her public persona, I can only imagine that she must be a joke within her party, except that she’s quite a useful idiot to her party. Her comments are stupid beyond belief. But she’s quite wealthy and connected. She’s in. Secretly, I’ll bet her party peers laugh a lot at her experience.

Jay just has to realize that the Rat party is a party of ONLY thieves, criminals, perverts, and traitors. As such, they always have Satanic liars as leaders and representatives of themselves, and you deal with them by imprisonment or execution.

The problem is with the people who believe the lies.

Hi, my name is Peelosi, as yo know my husband and I are quite wealthy on our own. Don’t worry though, I will continue to be paid my Senate salary, also my staff, while we threaten Soc. Sec. and veterans benefits and otherwise p-ssing on you little people. So get used to it pisants.

“I’ll bet her party peers laugh a lot at her experience.”

On the contrary, they probably agree with her 100% and admire her greatly for having the “courage” to say it out loud. She IS mainstream RAT party.

Most people with an IQ above 80 just ignore her. She has spent her life proving her irrelevancy. Need proof? Read the article.

Pelosi: “I haven’t seen in writing the final product. The details are important.”

Too funny!
