Whenever liberals can’t take you on the facts – and let’s face it, they very rarely can – they go below the belt, literally or figuratively.<\/p>\n
Jeff Rosenberg reprises a zillion lefties going after a zillion conservatives<\/a> in a lefty tradition dating back to the Daisy Ad in going after Represenative Michele Bachman, the second-term Rep and unapologetic conservative from the Sixth District.<\/p>\n She doesn’t fit the template of what a woman is supposed to be (zealously pro-abortion, mindlessly subservient to the party on all else), so – just as with Margaret Thatcher and Linda Chavez and Condi Rice before her, and Sarah Palin after her, no insult, degradation or slander is off-limits.\u00a0 Nothing pisses a liberal off like an “apostate”, even if the betrayal is only against their parochial notion of a policital gender role.<\/p>\n Just think about some of her recent rhetoric. During the election, she called for an inquiry into whether members of Congress had \u201canti-American views.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n She didn’t “call for an inquiry”.\u00a0 She said the media ought to report on some of the less savory views of some of her colleagues.<\/p>\n Recently, she\u2019s called herself a \u201cforeign correspondent behind enemy lines\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n An outspoken conservative woman in Minnesota’s browbeaten, lumpen liberal feminist culture? I’d say she’s more of a commando on a mission in an enemy headquarters.<\/p>\n But wait – we of the “Northern Alliance” use the same precise rhetoric every week! Are we not traitors to the glorious Minnesota motherland too?<\/p>\n and called for Minnesotans to be \u201carmed and dangerous.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n Law-abiding Minnesotans should <\/em>be armed, and dangerous to criminals.\u00a0 It is, in point of irrefutable fact, the duty<\/em> of every law-abiding Minnesotan who does not wish to be,at least ethically, a drag on the rest of society to be proficient with firearms, and to carry a firearm about their daily busiess.<\/p>\n She seems unable to control herself.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n Now, Jeff is not one of the creepy<\/a>, bottom<\/a>-of-the-barrel <\/a>leftybloggers that clog this state.<\/p>\n But, er, Jeff?\u00a0 “She seems” is what we call “weasel words”.<\/p>\n Now she sees even the most benign Federal programs in stark, revolutionary terms. Here\u2019s what she said about a proposed expansion of the AmeriCorps service program:<\/p><\/blockquote>\n I believe that there is a very strong chance that we will see that young people will be put into mandatory service. And the real concerns is that there are provisions for what I would call re-education camps for young people, where young people have to go and get trained in a philosophy that the government puts forward and then they have to go to work in some of these politically correct forums.<\/em><\/p>\n Increasingly, Bachmann seems unable to focus on her day-to-day responsibilities to her district and her country.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n Well, actually, calling out the abuses and overreaches of our current liberal overlords is\u00a0 <\/em>part of her job; it’s certainly what she ran on, and what her constituents sent her to do.<\/p>\n Oh, and as re: proposals to morph Americorps into a compulsory social service program?\u00a0 She’s right<\/a>. Oh, yes she is<\/a>.<\/p>\n The real question, given the orgy of spending and social tinkering the Democrats are committing to, is “who are the real crazy ones?”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Whenever liberals can’t take you on the facts – and let’s face it, they very rarely can – they go below the belt, literally or figuratively.
