…that the DFL knows its voter base believes its own press and has no critical thinking ability whatsoever:
Rep Dave Pinto, arguing AGAINST hiking the penalty for straw purchasers, says that criminals are not charged under the existing law because it is only a gross misdemeanor and not a felony.

So – we’ve got a straw buyer problem, but DFL county attorneys would pursue charges “because the penalties aren’t high enough”, so the DFL demands more penalties to the camera, but then leads his entire ghouish, creepy, Orwellian caucus in voting against a bill that’d do just that.
We’ll need a whole lot of Minnesotans who are tired of being treated like gullible children to turn out this November.
It’s been a while since we inaugurated a new Berg’s Law.
But it’s high time.
Berg’s 24th Law Of Rhetorical Predictability: Democrat politicians can, and routinely do, say anything they want, regardless of honesty or even factuality, confident that their audience, while theoretically “educated”, has no capacity for critical thought”.
We’ve seen this writ large…
…well, no. We’ve seen this writ small, venial and a little bit pathetic this past week or so, as Governor Walz has gone out of his way to take credit for a “Middle Class Tax Cut”…
…that he fought:
The only reason Governor Flanagan and Mr. Walz have “never raised a tax” is because of that single-vote, and later 3-5 vote, MNGOP majority in the Senate.
But Flanagan and Walz made the claim in the Farmfest debate, and it’s on their TV ads that have been inundating local TV this past few weeks.
Why?
Because they know local media will never check them on it, and DFL voters can’t think critically anyway.
They could say “2+2=Abortion”. and every ELCA-haired crone at every coffee shop in Crocus Hill and Kenwood will nod their head and chant it back in response.
