A Moment Of Truth From The Left

Moments of honesty are rare from the left, but when they come, boy do they come. This week, the left is meeting at the posh Omni Shoreham Hotel in D.C. to gripe about Obama. This is the annual “Campaign for America’s Future” meeting, but we shall call it “CommieCon.” And this year’s CommieCon has been a little more truthful than you normally get when leftists open their mouths.

Let’s start right out of the gates with a statement by Markos Moulitsas, the founder of the Daily Kos. Moulitsas, whose name means “Dipsh*t” in Greek, warns that selling a liberal agenda to the American public is a nonstarter. Because of this, Moulitsas counsels against drafting a progressive policy platform for politicians to adopt because:

“What you get is irrelevant and scary to the American people. If we’re talking to people, the less details the better.”

There you have it. What the left wants is so disturbing to people that they should hide their goals! That puts Moulitsas in the company of racists, child molesters, and Satanists, each of whom needs to hide their beliefs from the rest of us.

Moulitsas, by the way, is all giddy that they are about to bring down moderate Democrat Blanche Lincoln (who did eventually vote for ObamaCare): “We’re going to take out Blanche Lincoln in Arkansas. It’s an unprecedented alliance between netroots labor and the environmental movement . . . to hold people in D.C. accountable.” And get this, he notes, without any trace of irony, that politicians like Lincoln “are immune to public opinion.” This from the man who advocates hiding liberal views from the public.

Next up, Phaedra Ellis-Lamkins of Green for All admits that she doesn’t know what the heck she’s talking about. “Phaedra,” by the way, means “smelly hippy” in Greek. Phaedra is upset that Obama is proposing to loosen offshore oil exploration restrictions and she calls his “handling of BP. . . atrocious at best.” What’s worse, poor Phaedra feels betrayed: “We thought that an election was victory. We forgot that candidates don’t deliver change, that they become part of the system.” She then informs us boldly that “I believe in holding people accountable, even people we love.” Sounds bad for Obama right? Well, if you think that, then you and Phaedra must share a crackpipe, because Phaedra taketh away but she also giveth right back: “I voted for Barack Obama and I would again. . . I believe in this president.” So much for accountability and everything else she said.

Noted flake Arianna Huffington, whose name means “wack job” in Greek, also came up with some interesting truth, but you need a scorecard to follow what the heck she’s saying. Watch as the truth suddenly bursts forth in the middle of Huffington’s ramble:

“Bipartisanship is not the way to find American change. So far bipartisanship has brought us a no-strings-attached bailout. It has brought us the freedom from the burden of an affordable public option. . .”

Did you get that? Because they had to work with those evil Republicans, we poor Americans are left with the “freedom from the burden” of having a public option. In other words, they weren’t able to force the burden of a public option on us. The burden. Wow, thanks for being truthful WackJob. . . for once.

But this admission apparently was too much for poor WackJob, as she followed up with this doozy about what evil “bipartisanship” has brought us: “every day we see more penguins and dolphins covered in bipartisanship.” Yep. And nope, I did not make that up. “Penguins and dolphins covered in bipartisanship.” Hmm. If this is a reference to the oil spill, then I hate to tell her that there are no penguins in the Gulf. If this is a reference to something else, then I have no idea what it could be? Maybe second hand crack smoke?

Others noted from the low attendance and the lack of enthusiasm, as well as the open criticism of Obama, that the left is fed up with Obama and the Democrats. MoveOn.org’s campaign director Ilyse Hogue, which is Bostonian for “sub-sandwich,” points out that:

“We are willing to get out and fight for the people who fight for us, but no longer can they count on us for a solid Democratic vote. We are getting more sophisticated to understand that not all Democrats are created equal.”

Others warned: “We have the energy and the willingness to mobilize. We can be a huge ally or a huge obstruction.” Yeah, you make a better door than a window. Or did you mean "bowel"?

Pelosi spoke today and got heckled so badly that she literally had to yell parts of her speech. Check out the anti-Israel banner. Also, one of Pelosi's aids claims that the hecklers began "throwing things." And here I thought passing ObamaCare was supposed to endear the left to the Democrats and inspire them? Maybe Pelosi meant "inspire them to violence"?

Howard Dean is still scheduled to speak. I'm hoping he explains the penguin thing?

So what does this tell us? First, it confirms that ObamaCare didn’t inspire anyone on the left -- as we predicted. It also confirms what the polls are saying, that the left is demoralized and won’t be turning out in force in November. Secondly, it confirms that these people are hopeless and will never actually vote against the Democrats. Third, it confirms that they know that they need to lie about their goals and sneak their agenda through the legislation process. How sad. And fourth, it shows that the left is indeed a bunch of doped-out hippy morons. Where have all the flowers gone?

Finally, I’m reminded of an old adage: beware of Greeks bearing communistic ideals.
