after watching the circus for a while, i've noticed this is the only tactic the left has really gotten down pat. the double standards employed by these idiots are enough to drive anyone crazy. romney delays showing his tax returns for a few months and he's a liar and a cheat. seems there was a similar delay for just about everything that bambam was asked to show and we were told it was because he is such a smart politician and that it was none of our business in the first place. romney makes millions in the private sector and he's a thieving abuser. barry makes his millions primarily by taking it from the public coffers, having never spent more than a few days outside of the public sector in his life, and he's "the smartest man in the room". romney spends nearly a quarter of his income in charitable donations and the cry goes out that he shouldn't have had that much disposable income in the first place. we don't hear much about the obamas' charitable donations, primarily because even a poor old soul like me gives a larger percentage of his income to charity than the first couple would ever dream of giving. romney, despite stating he pays the legal minimum in taxes, is found to pay more than his fair share and his entire platform is called into question. our current pretender to the throne, despite every statement he has made over the years that his plan(?) would turn around our ailing economy, has failed even to slow our downward spiral and all we hear is that things aren't as bad as they seem and we just need to give him more time. of course we are never allowed to forget that our economic woes are to be blamed on the previous administration and not the democrat's failed agenda, even though that agenda was a large part of the beginnings of our problems.
it's all about excuses. everyone plays the blame game, but that's all the left seems to have going for it these days. blame the rich, blame business, blame the constitution and, when all else fails, blame the entire economic structure of the united states (capitalism). whatever they can sell to the unruly mob, whatever bogeyman strikes fear into the heart of the envious masses, is what they will use. wealth is never earned, it is stolen. no amount of regulation is ever enough. we will never be safe, comfortable and secure until a centralized control is developed to see that everyone gets their "fair share", not a penny less and certainly not a penny more. i was watching "the american president" (michael douglas and anette benning) the other day and one particular line seemed particularly apropos. the president's chief of staff was complaining about his absence of leadership in a particular matter and the people's need for a leader was likened to a thirsty man searching for water in the desert, that they needed someone to keep them from drinking the sand when the oasis turned out to be a mirage. the president's reply was that they would drink the sand simply because they didn't know the difference. this seems to be the attitude that the left most admires in their leaders, this confidence in their own superiority that borders on egomania. that their icons are all too human and as prone to failure as the rest of us (if not more so) never seems to occur to them.
