This blog’s name, The Conservative Guardian, clearly implies a mandate to call out liberal idiocy. And not because conservatives want a good laugh at the expense of liberals. The Five does that every weekday. Rather, I want more from Liberals than fear and loathing – like emotional patience until the polls open in November. Just this week, liberals in positions of power and influence filled a library with stupidity. Here are just a few.
University of Massachusetts-Lowell pollsters found that 62% of New Hampshire Democrats would rather “a giant meteorite strike the earth, extinguishing all human life” than “Donald Trump win re-election.” That’s too dumb to take seriously: like holding your six-year-old breath until mom buys you a chainsaw. Here’s a benevolent takeaway: the winters in New Hampshire and maple syrup on everything must be hell.
MSNBC Anchor Katy Tur asked Washington Post political reporter Philip Bump on Friday if gerrymandering could break up Republican control of the Senate. Duh – senate races are statewide and gerrymandering only affects the House. One year ago, she stated on-air that George Washington was a “native son of New York” (he’s from Virginia). Tur is a mine of misinformation about basic stuff, and MSNBC is where liberals get their news at 2:00PM – when they could get facts from Dana Perino on Fox News.
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez just invented “famed economist Milton Keynes” in a tweet about the impact of technology on employment. One might forgive her stupidity except for her July 2018 boast: “How many other House Democrats have a degree in Economics like I do?” AOC later tweeted, “UGGGH TYPO. It’s John Maynard Keynes – mixed his name with Milton Friedman – a (very) different economist.” An economist mixing Friedman with Keynes is akin to historians confusing George Patton with George Custer.
Adam Schiff just made the dumbest closing argument of all time: “If abuse of power is not impeachable…Trump could offer Alaska to the Russians in exchange for support in the next election [or] move to Mar-a-Lago and let Jared Kushnar run the country, delegating to him the decision whether we go to war.” Actually, none of that could happen; so, why does Schiff insult our intelligence so? Maybe he felt like the smartest guy in the room, but that would be “gal” (and she’s Elise Stefanik).
Senator Mazie Hirono told CNN’s Wolf Blitzer Trump “wasn’t acquitted [when] you don’t even get to call witnesses [or] have the documents…you don’t get acquitted in a rigged trial.” Blitzer told her there was a guilty-not guilty roll call and “not guilty” was the majority, plus “the Chief Justice announced he was acquitted, that [Trump] was not guilty.” The Hawaiian Hobbit then spewed, “okay, you’re found not guilty in a rigged trial, and now it’s anything goes for this president.” Translation: he’s acquitted.
One can’t make up this stuff or claim it means nothing. No Democrat should conflate four more years of Trump with the end of all human life, and MSNBC should not employ a host who was a high school dunce. If this comes across as mean, so what? I think Adam Schiff is mean, but that isn’t relevant. Schiff is dangerous because he is dishonest and presumes to know better than 63 million voters. Bam!
