The More Things Change

There is really no change in DC except for which party is in power. That and how Democrats act about certain things. For instance, when Republicans were the majority the Democrats complained that they felt left out of the process even though the right wrote rules that included them. Now that the left is in charge they completely exclude the right and make no bones about it. Nancy Pelosi basically said, yeah we wrote the stimulus package because we won the election and the rules she wrote excludes Republicans. Remember that Nancy. You have full responsibility like you did for the financial meltdown but on this you will not be able to say you are blameless.
When Republicans do something wrong the Democrats make sure it is on the front pages. When Democrats do bad things they are put into positions of responsibility. Timothy Geithner did not pay his taxes. It was not a mistake, an oversite, a tax software glitch, an invasion by Martians, or an interruption by Bigfoot. The fact is he knew he was supposed to pay them and he did not. He signed papers saying he would take the money given to pay them and do so but he did not. Now he is the nominee to be the Treasury Secretary. I have heard it said on several occasions that he is the smartest man out there and the only one who can fix the mess. So, if this guy is so smart, how did he make this “mistake” and fail to pay taxes? Do you really want a person who can’t figure out his taxes running Treasury?
When George Bush was president the Democrats loved to bust his chops for deficit spending. Of course the Democrats continue to tell this lie that we had a balanced budget and a surplus of cash when Clinton left office. This is a lie. We had a deficit per the government’s numbers. A surplus means we had extra money. We owed so there could be no surplus. Still I have heard how Bush spent the “surplus” and then spent more than we had and ran up a huge deficit. I am not disputing that he spent and ran up a deficit because it is true. I do not like the increased spending but my not liking it does not mean it did not happen. Now, of course, Obama and the Democrats are spending TRILLIONS of dollars and will run up the largest deficit in our history. None of them are railing about deficit spending like they did when Bush was in power. They say it is necessary to stimulate the economy.
[note]If deficit spending or spending more money were the answer we would not be having problems because they have done nothing but spend for a very long time.[/note]
Liberals are holding hands and singing Kumbaya while telling the rest of us that we are all Americans and we need to give Obama a chance to do his job. They tell us that we all need to work together and that if we would only put aside our differences and do just that we would solve our problems. Hollywood stars are making little public service announcements about how we should be working together. Suddenly being patriotic and waving a flag is cool. For years they disavowed that behavior and discussed dissent. They told us the country was founded on dissent and that it was patriotic to dissent and oppose government [Bush]. These are the low life maggots who NEVER gave Bush a chance. In 2000 George Bush won the election and every recount conducted by the partisan media showed that. Still, liberals said he stole it. They protested at his inauguration and pelted his limo with eggs. This is how day one started and it got worse over the next 8 years. To these idiots coming together only works if their guy is in office.
I will say that they will get what they gave. Some who comment here call it whining and crying by Republicans but they fail to recognize that they acted horribly for 8 years. It is a typical method for the left. They rewrite history. However, we know how they acted and we saw more of it when Bush left town. Even Nancy Pelosi said the best thing about inauguration was watching the helicopter take Bush away. She said it felt like a 10 pound anvil lifted off her head. I thought she looked more like she got hit by a bag of nickels. I actually think it would be good if an anvil landed on her head.
One last thing. When a person from the right makes an observation about an issue involving race then he is a racist. Criticize Obama and you are a racist. Question affirmative action, racist. Just about anything will get you labeled a racist regardless of your intention or how you live your life. If you do not plug into the collective then you are a racist and that is that. But let a black guy make an absolutely racist statement and the left keeps its mouth shut. Reverend Lowery did it on inauguration day and no one from the left called him a racist or demanded an apology. Don Imus lost his job over the uproar over some comments he made but Lowery is praised. I read a comment today (I think at the WaPo) where a guy said that Rick Warren was a disgrace and should not have been there but Lowery was wonderful. This is the kind of claptrap you get from liberals. They will not condemn their own until it becomes a political liability.
Yep, we are in for an interesting 4 years. Already some of the things I said would happen are. I said that when Obama was criticized for the same things Bush did we would be called haters or told to give him a chance or that the left would embrace the very thing they attacked Bush for. I said that every criticism would be considered racist. I even said that if he won we would all be expected to get along while ignoring the behavior of the left for the last 8 years.
These people have no shame.
And the more things supposedly change, the more they stay the same.

“These people have no shame.”
People having shame would require them to have morals and ethics. The far left has demonstrated time and time again that they lack those qualities.
That’s the thing Spidey, the far left is morally bankrupt.
When we talk about liberals here we mean those kinds. Not the everyday, fairly moderate people who try to do what is right (as in correct) but those who, like Obama, are far left.
Sure he fakes to the middle but his brief career shows he is a far left radical. He is everything to everyone and they bought a bill of goods.
I believe that what you sow,you reap and it will eventually all come back at them. Look at the men who are commiting suicide now because of their corrupt schemes. They must not believe that there is another life after death. The people who booed when the helicopter took off with Bush will one day be booed themselves. Just give it time.
