I was dumbstruck by the horrific performance of pseudo-journalist Leslie Stahl of "60 Minutes" infamy, this past Sunday evening. Showing how low a narcissistic, self-serving pretend member of the New York "elite" can be, Stahl used every conniving trick in her witch-bag to insult Eric Cantor, House majority leader. Using leading questions, feigned shock, and overly dramatic reactions (for the camera, of course) at Leader Cantor's answers, Stahl showcased herself as "everything that's wrong with journalism today". Her performance was an insult, ala "Dan Rather", to the normally neutral or middle-ground approach to news issues presented by the show "60 Minutes". Stahn should resign immediately, as she no longer represents either legitimate Journalism or journalistic ethics.
A showcase question that showcased Stahl's putrid line of questioning centered upon her OPINION that Cantor refused to budge in budget negotiations with the Senate. Stahl's theatrical surprise at Cantor's answer is a great indication of how progressive liberals are so brainwashed by their own, self-centered, ideology.
I suggest that House Leader Cantor and other Conservative Republicans use the following analogy when asked about their stance on budget negotiations:
The kind of Ponzi Scheme that you (questioner) speak of can be best represented by the couple who have maxed out their five credit cards to the tune of $125,000, having $25,000 limits on each card. At the beginning of the new year, they both receive word that they would receive pay increases totally $25,000.
However, instead of doing what prudent people who have maxed out their credit cards would do, apply those raises toward paying down their existing balances and thereby becoming more fiscally solvent, those "progressive" spend thrifts would immediately call all five credit card companies and demand credit line increases of $5,000 to each card.
The above is what the liberal progressives are doing with the national debt, ever increasing it regardless of the future consequences. The liberals argue that there is more money coming in, so they can then spend more. The Conservatives say not paying down the debt will only lead to future disaster, as interest continues to compound, and new spending never stops.
This is the argument. Only those who "believe" they will benefit from the progressive approach, and are either too naive, or too stupid to realize that sooner or later, this kind of national Ponzi Scheme breaks down, will continue to support such a ludicris scheme. This scheme is the basic "tax & spend" argument of the progressives, and they count on the fact that their constituency is too stupid, too naive, or too greedy, to want things any other way. Part two of the progressive game plan is: when the Ponzi Scheme does falter and collapse, blame everything on the Conservatives, and do so by yelling and screaming loudly enough so the beforementioned group of voters actually believes them.
Hey, it's worked for the liberals so far.....
God Bless America! God Save America!
