IRRITATING LIBERALS
It
is so funny watching Jon Ralston,
Nevada’s #2 liberal blogger, going out of his way not to acknowledge my
existence or how much I’ve gotten under his skin. This from his Morning Flash newsletter last
Friday…
“Internet
troll”!! Too funny. Lord, how I love irritating these people.
THE WHEELER BROUHAHA
Back
in 2010, conservative Assemblyman Jim
Wheeler – who was not yet elected at the time – and I had a difference of
opinion on the job of an elected representative as it relates to fulfilling his
constituents’ desires. Mr. Wheeler’s
position was that he was elected to vote how his constituents wanted him to
vote, even if he believed they were wrong.
To
demonstrate my position that an elected official - who has a lot more
information at his or her disposal when issues come before the Legislature than
the average citizen - has the obligation to do what he believes is the right
thing regardless of what the voters favor, I raised the extreme example that if
voters wanted to bring back slavery it was incumbent upon the elected official
to vote no anyway.
Fast
forward to this past August. Now-Assemblyman
Wheeler was speaking at a Lyon County GOP meeting and reasserted his position
that as an elected official he believes his job is to vote as his constituents
want, raising my example about slavery that came up three years earlier.
A
video of Assemblyman Wheeler’s remarks was uncovered by a liberal activist and
released on Monday to a voracious media and establishment Republicans who
smelled blood coming from a conservative and began the expected feeding frenzy –
as if Wheeler would ever really vote to bring back slavery.
Indeed,
as Wheeler put it in an email to colleagues last night…
Look,
the man used an extreme analogy to make a point about his opinion on the proper
role of an elected official in which he and I have disagreed for some time. The context of his remarks was about his
obligation to the whims of the electorate, not slavery. But he did say what he said and he’s taking
the heat for it.
But
let’s not overlook the obvious here.
Obviously, this brouhaha has blown up out of proportion for one reason:
Jim Wheeler is a conservative.
Remember
just a few short weeks ago, Jon Ralston
himself, Nevada’s #2 liberal blogger, referred to the campaigning by black
Republican Niger Innis as “spadework.” It was an extremely poor choice of a “racially
insensitive” word, but nevertheless you didn’t hear a peep from anyone about it. Why?
Because Ralston’s a liberal, that’s why.
It’s
a well-known and well-established double standard.
The
bottom line is this: Jim Wheeler would never vote to bring back slavery, his
poor choice of words to the contrary.
But because he’s a conservative, Ralston’s lynch mob is out for blood. It’ll be up to Assemblyman Wheeler’s
constituents to decide what, if anything, to do about it.

TRUTH IN POLITICAL
ADVERTISING
On
Saturday, Mi Familia Vota, a pro-amnesty organization trying to pass itself off
as bipartisan, announced that Rep. Jeff
Denham, R-CA, had signed on as the first Republican co-sponsor of H.R. 15,
“a House immigration reform bill which combines the Senate Judiciary
Committee's bipartisan immigration bill with a border security bill passed
unanimously by the House Homeland Security Committee.”
In
its press release, Mi Familia Vota declared that “there is no doubt that the
Latino community responded in the 2012 election with a mandate for commonsense
immigration reform with a path to citizenship for the 11 million immigrants in
the U.S. without documents.”
What
they call “commonsense immigration reform” is what the rest of us call amnesty.
And
don’t you just love the end of that sentence; “11 million immigrants in the
U.S. without documents”?
Of
course they don’t have documents. They
entered the country illegally! That’s
why people who are honestly discussing this issue refer to them as illegal
immigrants, not “immigrants without documents.”
That makes it sound like they just lost their documents or the dog ate
them.
No,
they don’t have documents because they’re here illegally! They broke the law. They’re not supposed to be here. They didn’t enter the country legally and
THAT’S why they don’t have documents.
Sheesh.
Oh,
and by the way, you don’t think the fact that Mr. Denham is a California almond
rancher, who clearly would benefit from cheap labor, has anything to do with
his decision to back a major amnesty bill, do you?

FAMOUS LAST WORDS
“The
reason why baby diapers have brand names such as ‘Luvs’ and ‘Huggies’, while
undergarments for old people are called ‘Depends.’ When babies crap in their pants, people are
still gonna Luv'em and Hug'em. When old people
crap in their pants, it "Depends" on who's in the will!” – Author
