Dems End Up Believing their Own Lies
American Thinker ^ | 6/24/2014 | Christopher Chantrill

Posted on 06/24/2014 2:29:04 AM PDT by markomalley

I'm trying to listen through the rhetoric of the Democrats waving aside the IRS scandal and continuing to worry about “dark money.” Surely those Dems don't really believe that the IRS are the good guys in this.

But it all makes sense if today's Dems have actually come to believe their own lies.

Politicians say what they have to say to win elections. In the 1930s Democrats were the great friends of the working stiffs, and showered them with free stuff. Anyone that disagreed was a dupe of the rich and the corporate goons.

But wise heads knew that you had to allow business to make a profit, and when World War II started the Dems turned business into the arsenal of democracy and sent the sons of the working stiffs off to Europe.

In the 1960s, when the 1930s working stiffs had become householders and begun the move to the GOP, the Dems had to win elections in new ways. So they became the friends of minorities and women and showered them with quotas and free stuff. Anyone that disagreed was a racist and a sexist. Anyone that disagreed with unlimited immigration was a nativist.

It all worked so well that gays and lesbians declared themselves helpless victims too and the Democrats showered them with love and marriage equality. Anyone that disagreed was a homophobe.

“Past time to abolish the corrupt mafia run IRS”.........

While I totally agree, who is going to get that done, certainly not the republicans or anyone in congress?

If I was a republican on the committee I’d bring in a fake sword for every democrat there and tell them “You can go ahead and fall on your swords at the beginning of the hearing and save us all a lot of time.”

We, the People, could get that done if we only had the courage to stop complying with the edicts of a totally corrupt and illegitimate bureaucracy.

“While I totally agree, who is going to get that done, certainly not the republicans or anyone in congress?”

In January 2011 the majority of votes in the US House of Representatives has been held by the Republican Party. All appropriations bills begin in the House. Any federal agency operating today exists because the Republican House has initiated and passed a bill funding it. A federal agency will cease to exist if its funding is cut off. The fact the IRS is fully funded suggests the Republicans in Congress are fully satisfied with its performance.

Absurd article. Democrats know they are lying and don’t care. Democrats are lying, corrupt, violent thugs.

The only crime to a Democrat is losing.
