The Depravity Of Nancy Pelosi

Jonah Goldberg is fed up:

The dishonesty and/or stupidity of all this is really quite breathtaking — and obvious. First of all, you could cut government funding down to 1950 levels and still have money for food safety. But this is what liberals do. They metaphorically lash children to the fenders of government so that the budget cutting blade must slice through them first. Then, after insanely putting them in harm’s way, they proclaim it is the sane budget cutters who seek to harm children. In fairness, sometimes liberals hold the young human shields in reserve and put firehouses, historic monuments, and old-age homes outside the budgetary walls of the fiscal keep. And, again, they declare that the fiscally sane want to get rid of fire fighters and the Washington memorial — and not, say, the Export-Import Bank or agricultural subsidies.

And too many people buy their BS, judging by polls. What’s most infuriating, of course, is that their partners in crime in the media don’t call them on it.

The Totalitarian Temptation

as demonstrated by the Chick-fil-A episode. Also, five easy pieces of chicken.

What I find truly disgusting about this is the casual accusation of “hate.” There is nothing intrinsically hateful about believing in the traditional definition of marriage, any more than it is inherently racist to disagree with the president on policy, and there was nothing hateful in what Dan Cathy said. Certainly there are people who don’t like the president because they are racists, and there were probably people eating at Chick-fil-A last Wednesday because they do hate gays, but to tar everyone with that is odious demagoguery. Not to mention projection. In other words, business as usual for the fascist Left (if that’s not redundant).
