It’s bad enough that the Democrats are trying to bamboozle their own base with the so-called Green New Deal. As I discuss in a previous column, this project is simply a get-out-the-vote effort using extreme language to manipulate their own base in a cynical campaign effort for 2020.
Now, almost every day, the hypocrisy of the left’s new arrogant heroes is on display in some of the most remarkable ways.
We know Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York claims the world is going to end in 12 short years if we don’t dramatically change the way we live.

Being a “popular” DC Swamp varmint sure beats working for tips. Her comrades in the “media” are going to make sure that she’s a multi-millionaire if she ever leaves Congress and goes home to Puerto Rico.
I believe she admitted to not recycling because it was too difficult. haha

And do you know what else applies? AO-C is blissfully UNAWARE she is being hypocritical, she doesn’t even understand how it could possibly apply to herself.
After all, she is doing (some deity’s) work, which is VASTLY more important than mere consistency.
The ghost of Evita Duarte de Perón still lurks...
Socialism, like the ancient ideas from which it springs, confuses the distinction between government and society. As a result of this, every time we object to a thing being done by government, the socialists conclude that we object to its being done at all.The actual Bastiat comments on socialism are a bit more long-winded, but very spot-on. This is exactly what the Democrats do over and over, even long before the subject of this thread came along.And so on, and so on. It is as if the socialists were to accuse us of not wanting persons to eat because we do not want the state to raise grain.
- We disapprove of state education—then the socialists say that we are opposed to any education.
- We object to a state religion—then the socialists say that we want no religion at all.
- We object to a state-enforced equality—then they say that we are against equality.

The ones calling for people to line up at the disintegration booths never see themselves joining the line.
One of the very best ST-TOS episodes.
It won’t matter.
She is a media darling. They can be relied on to circle the wagons around her.
She has a loyal and growing base of socialist fanboys who can’t get enough of her in-your-face attitudes.
Once enough of us aren’t around to vote anymore she will be President.
The hypocrisy of the left has always been on display....some won’t or can’t see it.
My wife has pointed out that AOC always shows up with new outfits of different colors, all well tailored. Who is paying to dress her? Are these “in kind” contributions? If so, do they need to be declared somewhere?
Someone could well ask the same question of Madame Pelosi.
Hence the question will never be asked.
Nancy is rich enough to afford fancy clothes. AOC isn’t, or at least, has recently claimed not to be.
If Alexandria Colonoscopy is the future of the Democratic party, it will be like the sixties, only without the sex, drugs, and rock and roll. A youth movement of flightless birds.
