“If you will stop telling lies about us, we will stop telling the truth about you”

(This remark wasn’t appropriated from a Republican, but a Democrat, Adlai Stevenson, their 1952 presidential candidate. And it fell flat for the same reason Rep (Cowboy Hat) Frederica Wilson’s accusations against a four-star retired Marine general fell flat last week; it was made against a five-star general and war hero by the name of Dwight Eisenhower. Not even Democrats believed Ike would lie in those days.)

Today, Democrats lie. In fact that’s about all they’ve got. There is not a subject they will not lie about if they think it can gain them a political advantage, or defend them if caught with a smoking revolver in their hand, as the “dossier” case now appears to be.

But unlike 1952, today, we hold these truths about Democrats to be self-evident.

So this is not an indictment of Democrats, but a simple statement of common knowledge. It would take too many pages to list even their major lies, but some of their best are found in the almost monotonous accusations of political opponents for lying, as if lying were the most scandalous of sins instead of the handiest of tools. Today Democrats have acquired the hutzpah to declare that the “dossier” smoking gun they’ve been caught holding to be a mere figment, but even more skillfully, to be able to turn every mistaken statement into a lie, as with Gen Kelly’s recollection of the precise reason Frederica Wilson stood up and showed her ass in Miami in 2015. Seems Kelly’s mistaking the “why” of her grandstanding while correctly noting her classless display of disrespect still amounted to a lie[…]

Daily Caller reports astounding findings over the weekend about public sentiment over Confederate statues, largely found in the South. The most amazing poll is that by a 44%-41% split, African-Americans want the statues to stay.

It would have been even more informative had the polls reflected the votes by regions of the country, red or blue, the levels of education, especially among blacks. Charles Barkley, a famous sportscaster and NBA-star, from rural Alabama, said he had seen them for years and never once gave it a second thought. He represents both a region and an age group, who see the statues differently from what we see in the news. Apparently they are the 44%..

Barkley also reflects the sentiments of most of my black friends in Richmond, the home of the Confederacy. Most of them are working men, or retired, only a few are white collar government workers. There is a bitchy quality to the Millennial black and white women presented by television, who rant more than discuss about these expressions of racism and white privilege they were apparently taught in college. They usually have a seat on panel discussion on all the media shows and generally respresent the 41%

65% of the white people, (and Hispanics), also like the statues as they are, and is probably much higher in the South where those statues reflect more than history, but also heritage. Family heritage. Most southern folk actually had family members fight in that war.

By contrast, Virginia’s governor, Terry McAuliffe is not a native Virginian (new York). Neither are its two senators, Mark Warner (Indiana) and Tim Kaine (Minnesota.) No skin in the game. Once upon a time they’d have been called carpetbaggers. And I expect to see that term come back into fashion if the issue continues, along with the aforementioned “bitchiness”, as personified by our 911 Emergency cover-girl, above[…]
