Party of the Rich: Limousine liberals are upgrading to Lear jets
National Review Online ^ | October 30, 2006 | Peter Schweizer

Posted on 10/30/2006 6:49:46 AM PST by redstateone

The GOP has historically been the party of both Main Street and Wall Street. But over the past decade, the plutocrats have increasingly become Democrats.

Schweizer is easily one of the best conservative investigative writers out there today. I loved his book, "Do as I Say," which exposed Michael Moore's stock owning hypocrisy and others.

IMHO...we are going to find the hyper-wealthy increasingly interested, for business reasons, in doing the bidding of Middle-Eastern masters....and part of that bidding will be facilitating the death of christianity and the US Constitution.

My experience in California's Capitol is that liberal Democrat staffers from two-income no-kid households (or gay couples) are all driving nice new Lexus and Volvos.

Meanwhile the Republican staffers who are parents of two, three, and four kids are driving old pickup trucks and beat up minivans.

When I talk to Democrat staffers in the elevator they are all going skiing or to Club Med for the weekend, while my plans and those of my friends include yard work, soccer games and dance recitals.

A lot of rich love socialism, because they know they will be immune to it, and it's a good way to shut the door on competition. They've already got theirs', and they want everyone else to live in the shared misery that is socialism.

This is SO true. Glad I'm not the only one who has noticed.

Years back, Ted Turner stated in an Audubon Magazine interview that Americans were "pigs" for using up so much energy. He envisioned an America where people rode their bikes to work.

In that same month's Time Magazine, his new wife, Jane Fonda, was pictured boarding a private jet to Colorado for thier honeymoon.

Awesome. That's hilarious. Quick: someone call the DNC or MoveOn for a response to this liberal assault on the environment!

The rich who want others to also become successful are Republicans. The rich who couldn't care less about anyone else's fortunes are Democrats.

I'd rather have a Boeing Business Jet.

Yes the same Ted Turner who decries the Earth cannot sustain its current population.


And oh by the way, he is a father of five.

Like Al Gore, father of four.

And I hardly think his four use fewer resources each than my two. He still likes to swan around in private jets.

I say, ignore the filth and buy that SUV. Global warming be damned, it's all a power grab by the statist Left.

An interesting phenom in the N California Wine Country counties are the private jets that come roaring in on Fridays and go roaring out late Sunday or early Monday.

Rats like Redford, Pelosi and others jet into these high cost areas for the weekends and vacations and jet out after their long weekends. Here they drive or ride in chauffered big SUVs and stay in massive homes on top of the hills around the wine counties or in expensive combo homes/vineyards/wineries in the flat land. Of course Al Gore, the Clintoon and they want us to walk or ride a bike to us from contributing to global pollution.

Of the five U.S. senators worth more than $25 million (John Kerry, Herb, Kohl, John Rockefeller, Dianne Feinstein, and Lincoln Chafee) according to Roll Call, only Chafee is a Republican

And every once in a while, he even votes with the Republicans!
